[NEW EVENT] Sukiyaki Night

Nov 21: Sukiyaki Night
Location: QUIC (Queen's University International Center, in the JDUC)
Time: 6:30 - 9 pm
Price: $8 for members, $10 for non-members


Sukiyaki Night is here just in time for winter! Sukiyaki is a style of Japanese hotpot, perfect for filling and warming all of your stomachs!!

Sukiyaki is a dish cooked right at the table. It features thin slices of beef, lots of vegetables, and a savoury broth. Everyone puts in what they want and it cooks right in front of you. You pull out cooked vegetables and beef and eat it with steamed rice. Additionally, you are given a raw egg to dip food into, giving extra flavour! Of course, you don't have to eat it with the egg if you have concerns about raw eggs (but a 2002 study showed that only 0.003% or 1 in every 30,000 eggs are contaminated with samonella. Just so you know!).

You cook your meal around the table, so bring all your friends! Meet new people! It's a fun, interactive, and very social meal you won't want to miss!

[NEW EVENT] Welcome Back Picnic

Price: FREE!^†

* If it is raining, we are planning to have it at the QUIC in JDUC or a TBD room in Mac-Corry.

Things to expect:

- tons of delicious onigiri or riceballs! These are essentially triangular shaped balls of rice and inside is a yummy filling. This year we are serving a few different types, one of which is made with furikake, a traditional dry Japanese condiment that has a fishy flavour. There will also be a vegetarian option, so never fear!

- hot miso soup! The days are getting colder so nothing can be better than a nice, warm bowl (or cup, in our case) of miso soup.

- a fun game of suikawari, literally: watermelon splitting. This is a traditional Japanese game played at the beach, at festivals, and at picnics. It involves spinning a blindfolded person around a few times, then pushing them in the direction of the watermelon (which is on the floor). The person then tries to crack the watermelon open with a wooden stick. Afterwards, everyone eats the watermelon!



I hope everyone gets a chance to come out to our first event! We are all really excited to meet you! Details concerning the location will be finalized shortly and an email will be sent out to everyone on our mailing list!

If there are any questions or concerns, please leave a comment below or email jrqueens@gmail.com.

Welcome to JRQ!

Hello and welcome to JRQ! Otherwise known as Japanese Relations at Queen's, this is a club established and located on Queen's campus.

As the name suggests, this club's main focus is the lovely nation of Japan. We aim to promote Japanese culture and foster international understanding to Queen's students and the Kingston community. We also serve as a bridge between exchange students from both Queen's and Japan. As such, we try to assist students going to Japan with information about the new lifestyle they will encounter and help students visiting Queen's from Japan adopt to the new environment.

Our club will provide fun social functions, being (hopefully) educational and cultural! Some of the usual events are: a sukiyaki night, where members gather in small groups to make a traditional Japanese hotpot with the aid of our exec team; a sushi night, where our chef will teach members to make both traditional and modern sushi rolls; and a semi-formal where other clubs of Asian interest may interact with each other.

Membership to the club costs $5 and will entail discounts to all our events as well as other perks, such as discounts to the Asian grocery, Asian restaurants, and other stores. Membership is open to any student or faculty member of Queen's and those interested from the Kingston community.

If you're interested in Japanese culture or are looking to make new international friends, come out to our events and meet our great exec team, eat lots of food, and have a fantastic time!
