Episode 12 is a flavorful mix of coffee culture, seasonal celebrations, and linguistic curiosity!
First, we explore (the lack of) espresso cafes in Japan.
Next, we discuss the art of pour-over coffee, a method celebrated for its precision and clean flavor. Japanese pour-over techniques emphasize control over water temperature, pouring speed, and brewing ratios, resulting in a balanced and nuanced cup.
For seasonal highlights, we dive into Japan’s matsuri (festival) season.
Finally, as always, we wrap up with the Word of the Day segment, introducing another practical term to enrich your Japanese vocabulary.
