First San Mateo Location Practice of 2026 and Annual Ozoni Tradition

Happy New Year! Today was our first practice of the year at our San Mateo location. As per tradition, Mrs. Konopka prepared her delicious sweet and savory ozoni soups for everyone. Thank you again, Mrs. Konopka, for your continued effort and generosity in keeping this wonderful tradition alive. We also had the pleasure of welcoming a special guest, Andy Lee sensei (5 Dan), who was once a member of San Mateo Kendo Dojo from as long as 25 years ago. After more than 10 years away, he returned to visit us. Thank you for paying us a visit, Lee sensei. It was a pleasure to do keiko with you and learn a bit more about the dojo's history.
