On my first Thanksgiving in Japan as an exchange student, I had cold tofu for lunch and felt exceptionally sad. After two years of not celebrating the holiday while I was in rural Japan, I decided to host a Thanksgiving potluck for my friends last year<\/a>, and it was one of the best decisions I\u2019ve ever made. Everyone\u2019s favorite dishes\u2013even ones I really disliked as a child, like green bean casserole\u2013were exceptionally good. The atmosphere was good, too\u2013everyone seemed really excited to be there and to share their dish; plus, there was no weird gender segregation in the kitchen<\/a>!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re living in Japan, making your favorite holiday dishes can be somewhat difficult. Maybe there aren\u2019t fresh green beans in late November at your store; maybe your moven is too small for a turkey. I\u2019ve gathered up some of my recipes (and some from other blogs) that would work well for your fall\/winter holiday parties below.<\/p>\n
