    Ep.8 Reverse Culture Shock!
    Dec 7 2023
    Although we were born and raised in Japan, we have been living in the US for a long time.  Because of this, we often experience“Reverse Culture Shock” when we are back in Japan.  “Reverse Culture Shock” refers to the psychological and emotional challenges that a person may experience when returning to their home country or culture after an extended period of time living abroad. This often occurs when a person finds it difficult to re-adjust to a once familiar environment.  In this episode, we talk about our experiences with reverse culture shock.  Mari, who just came back from Japan, starts our discussion with how difficult it was for her.  We hope you can enjoy this episode and look forward to hearing about your similar experiences!!

  • Ep 6 Miso Soup in America isn't Miso Soup...

    Ep 6 Miso Soup in America isn't Miso Soup...
    Oct 30 2023

    How is miso soup in America? We notice that there are some notable differences between how it is prepared and consumed in America compared to Japan. While there's nothing wrong with "American" miso soup, there are interesting variations in cultural preferences and ingredients. Should miso soup be served with the "appetizer", as part of the main course, or after the main course? What makes a good miso soup? We talk about our experiences with this traditional Japanese dish as well as confusion with other Japanese "appetizers" like squid and octopus. Tell us about your eating adventures.

    Thank you!
