You are invited to join us for the 2026 Bounenkai Celebrations, a festive evening bringing our members and friends together to enjoy delicious Japanese food and raise a glass to everything we have achieved over the past year.

Bounenkai is an old Japanese tradition of coming together at the end of the year to celebrate, enjoy good company and leave the stresses of the past year behind. We look forward to continuing this special tradition with the IJA community and sharing a wonderful evening at a Dublin city centre venue.
