FoxhillSteve Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My brother born and bred in sheffield has spent the last five years in Japan. Now fluent he plans to live in Sheffield with his Japanese wife. Question is are there any Japanese groups that meet in Sheffield or any Japanese food supermarkets, so his wife can meet other Japanese people to stop her from getting homesick? Does anyone know of any use of my brothers Japanese language skills combined with his business degree he got from Sheffield Hallam, anyone know of anything out there that could use these skills ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The University of Sheffield offer a range of courses in the School of East Asia Studies including a number of Japanese courses. There are quite a number of Japanese students at the Uni, and I'm sure there must be groups your brother's wife could contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxhillSteve Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thanks for the supermarket information, i'll pass that on. Has anyone got any ideas on how he can use his Japanese language / business skills here in Sheffield. Is there any demand in our city for them at all?

Walkley Dave Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'd start by asking at the University which for many years has been a centre of Japanese learning in the UK! But I would be very surprised if there wasn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morecamberox Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 As far as I'm aware, the supermarkets around London Road are exclusively Chinese (though please correct me if I'm wrong!). There is a wholesaler open to the public in Heeley that carries a range of Japanese products, and can get more to order: http://www.lembas.co.uk 0114 2586056 or there's an excellent Japanese food, etc. retailer in London that does mail order: http://www.japancentre.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lectrolove Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 As far as I'm aware, the supermarkets around London Road are exclusively Chinese (though please correct me if I'm wrong!). The one just off Bramall Lane has a fairly comprehensive Japanese section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHRemovals Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 did your brother used to go in the star and garter on sundays years ago when they had folk music, remembera guy showing me pics of his shinto wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxhillSteve Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sorry, I think the wedding must have been someone else's. I'll give the Japanese language tutor idea a shot, but besides that can anyone think of anything else he can do in the Sheffield / south yorkshire region ?
