Every Friday, we feature a one-on-one Q&A with Japas, our resident curators: Maíra Kimura, Yumi Shimada, and Fernanda Ueno—founders of Japas Cervejaria. They will share their personal reflections on culture, travel, and the everyday moments including their connection to Japan.
Q: Were there any songs that became the soundtrack of your journey through Japan?
Yumi: As funny as it may be, the soundtrack of the three times I went to Japan was very Brazilian. I visited a lot of cafés, and I remember bossa nova playing in many of them. Even when I went to some bars, the owners would ask where I was from and then play Brazilian music.
Fernanda: not really, but it is a good idea to create a playlist for our trip!
