From the moment I started listening, I found myself learning about Japanese foods and places I love - like the original Ramen Burger from Smorgasburg, Tsukemen, Shalom Japan - and so much more. This is both so relevant and informative!
Akiko covers a wide range of topics and guests combining insights into Japanese food, drinks and culture. I live in Tokyo but learned a lot. From a recommendation I also found a favorite Tokyo sushi restaurant as a bonus
