Episode 4 is a dynamic mix of culinary delights, travel adventures, and learning opportunities!
First, we explore the world’s first Godiva bakery Godipan, which opened in Tokyo’s Yurakucho district in August 2023. This unique bakery blends classic pastries with a chocolate twist, offering treats like chocolate-filled brioche and cacao-infused curry bread.
Next, we highlight the Angus Beef SPAM onigiri, a bold fusion of flavors that elevates the traditional rice ball. While SPAM onigiri is already a popular snack, this version adds premium Angus beef for a richer taste experience.
For outdoor enthusiasts, we dive into cycling around Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake. The Biwaichi cycling route offers breathtaking views, passing through rural landscapes, historic sites, and charming local communities. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cyclist, this journey is a must-try.
We also discuss how to find teachers and mentors in Japan for your hobbies and passions.
For language learners, we introduce the FREE online JPF beginner Japanese language course. The IRODORI Japanese Online Course provides interactive lessons tailored for daily life in Japan, making it an excellent resource for beginners.
Finally, as always, we wrap up with the Word of the Day segment, introducing another practical term to enrich your Japanese vocabulary.
