She has shared tobacco and ajinomoto [monosodium glutamate] with Jokichi Yamanaka, but he does not accept sugar because he believes that the Nakanos need to use it when they provide meals to the people who help to build their barn. She has also shared ajinomoto and soap bars with the Sasakis in Miyake, Hiroshima, Japan.
