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

Even you are Japanese, why don’t you listen this program for your understanding to foods and ingredients correctly?

Akiko is a first class interviewer, has great guests on but she’s always able to draw the best and most interesting things out of them.

Material has been covered often elsewhere over the years in various travel/食べ物 books. Though most guests are contemporaneous for the podcast generation. The guests are often cool but recent guy was a real tool, talking about himself while claiming to be humble.

I have an affinity for Japanese cooking, as understaning its principles helped me to take my work as a chef to the next level, but excellent show nonetheless.

This is the greatest program I have ever listen to. Akiko always makes very good preparation including studying, actual visiting and tasting of the products of each theme. And she is very good at dragging out the stories out of the presenters. This program is not only good for those who wants...Read full review »

Please speak more slowly and clearly. Too much like chewing gum English.

Akiko has the best guests. As a New Yorker I love that I can go out and try many of the places she features. I learn so much from this show, and I can't say that I had a strong interest in Japanese culture before listening, and I have been to Japan!Read full review »
