Wow!

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

I'm your host Chris broader, but joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast Mr. Pete

Donaldson, how are you doing on this fine day Pete?

I am doing well. I have had several cups of coffee. I'm also indulging in what can only be described as a Japanese themed chewing gum.

My favourite Japanese chewing gum we've never discussed it on this show and I realise I am cognizant of the fact that you guys need to know which Japanese chewing gum brand I endorse and it's black black.

It's a chewing gum brand that contains a lot of caffeine.

Oh yeah, doesn't it stain your teeth black as well as part of the thing?

I don't think that's part of it's charm and I'm certainly a certain that's not part of it but certainly it certainly is surprisingly black.

I don't think I've had black black. How much caffeine is in it do you know?

I don't know. I don't know.

Oh my fingernails are falling off.

It's probably equivalent to like a third of a coffee or something like that.

I feel good though. I feel pumped. I'm ready for the show.

Oh, I did.

Where does you get the Japanese chewing gum from? Where did you get it? Is there a shop around the corner?

Yeah, there's a little Japanese supermarket around the corner which gets me all of the user I can drink and all of the fancy soy sauce and really expensive salad dressings.

Me and you my final meal before I left from Sendai to Tokyo. Final meal.

Last time we were together in one place.

We had some delicious, it was like a cat's wee kind of thing but with it we had unlimited shredded cabbage and it came with this delicious kind of like mayonnaise dressing.

I was like I want more of that and I found it. It was this kind of like burdock and oily kind of seasoned dressing with sesame oil in it.

It's really expensive in this shop but my god it ticked me back to those times where I enjoyed a shredded cabbage.
