Wow!

Hello and welcome to the Broad Japan podcast probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan

I'm your host Chris Broad and we're joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiasm Mr. Pete Dawson

himself Pete and the devil you're doing today

I'm good still in my half finished studio not even half an hour what are you doing? He's on the web

family's waving a bottle of Costa coffee

King of coffees or something I do why have you switched from one black tary looking

I don't know liquid to to another another brand using the boss coffee now you're banging into the

Costa coffee is their sugar in that because that looks very unlikable I have no loyalty to any particular coffee brand

Pete I've gone through boss coffee the Tommy Lee Jones one I tell his coffee and now

Costa coffee the British coffee from London as it says here established London 1971 I've traveled to

the other side the planet for a Costa coffee a black Costa coffee with no sugar what have I become

it is good actually I had to say it but I I had a sip I've it's been in the shelves for a few weeks now

and it's quite good it takes a bit like cold brew coffee which is hard to find in a sort of canned

or bottled form in Japan outside of Starbucks and it's great out of a lot of out of all of like the

British London best coffee brands I did not see Costa coffee being the one that breaks through

on the other side the bloody world taking the world by storm it's good it's good I feel a bit guilty

drinking it but it tastes good and that's all the matters I think about this there's Costa coffee

and then there's I think Cafe Niro being you know fairly popular brands in Britain probably beyond

as well as opposed but but I can't remember which one sells these little kind of like little coffee

beans wrapped in chocolate and and these boxes have been around for like what feels like 10 years

and no one ever buys them and I don't know why they still sell them they sell little mincing packets
