"There was a short summer programme, I stayed in Kolkata for two months. I liked reading Bangla, so I decided I would do it long term. I stayed on for another six months, then I went to Delhi to study Hindi. When asked, which language she liked better Hindi or Bangla, she said Bangla has many expressions. Bangla is a rich language. I have read Feluda’s stories (the famous detective created by Satyajit Ray). I have seen a few Bangla films too. I have seen Pather Panchali.

"I love Rabindranath Tagore’s Postmaster. I loved ilish maach, but in Japan, we don’t have any fish preparations with mustard. (Sakura was referring to shorshe-ilish, a hilsa-mustard dish that is signature Bengali cuisine.) I did not like roshogolla the first time I had it, but loved it the second time," said Sakura Ishikawa.

Sakura said that she enjoys learning the nitty-gritty of a language and that’s why she studied both Hindi and Bangla.
