After the funeral the family and close friends went to a Japanese fish restaurant that was near their house. They had made special request for me a veggie meal. It was really nice of them and everything was delicious. Above is our family from Chiba. Below is my husband's brother-in-law and his two sons giving everyone a chance to drink.
While everyone was eating the immediate family went around serving everyone drinks and stopping to visit with each family member or friend. This part of the culture is quite foreign to me as I think the family should be the ones served not be the servers! But is important for me to observe these traditions as I may have to do that someday too.
