A double tap on the new and improved Incus and the usual chasm of James’s pop culture knowledge, followed by a few old and familiar friends, as our May 2025 adventures come to an end.
Philip's map-reading skills desert him before an awkward intro at Eagle. We also discuss two incredible Okinawa joints as the project finally expands to the fifth of Japan's major islands.
Mostly talk about bananas, with a jazz kissa soundtrack.
In Episode 96, after a subterranean trip to Japan's bubble-economy yeatrs, we survive our very own Squid Game on the way to see an old friend – and all the mixed emotions that stirs up.
Good stories told badly as we take bickering to the level of an Olympic sport, and get deep into the true nature of crockery with the truly ying and yang of Kyoto jazz joints.
We are California dreamin’ on this episode until Philip’s ideal world is shattered by some devastating breaking news. Was it merely a mirage?
James continues to offend people with mixed metaphors and cultural pitfalls before we end up whiling the evening away in an absolute gem of a spot to cap a long first day back in Osaka.
Reunited in Kansai we hit the trail with a shaky start for nearly not quite three joints, well sort of three...
A marathon episode for a marathon day hunting kissa up north, where it's far from grim. Epic joints!
Topless TJJ with some of Sapporo's finest.
An evening of two halves that starts on a slow boat to...a hectic finish with one new joint and two very old friends. And accidental meetings with actual friends!
If you ever wondered what Sandra Bullock, Colonel Sanders, Mr T.Pott and Taylor Swift have in common, Chiba has the answer.
And just like that…deepest Chiba reveals some well-hidden treasures and Philip battles with mixed messages, having solved his camdram.
Philip defies the bookmaker's odds by avoiding the mother of all meltdowns in Yokohama, while James watches on, and invents a name for a kissa that no one will ever steal. Ever.
In addition to some bonus DIY content, three absolutely banging Tokyo joints to get us back on the trail for May 2025!
No passion fruit or lychee for you, but we close out 2024's shenanigans with three gorgeous joints – old and new – in Philip's old neighbourhood. Long live Shimokita!
Some cheap Prosecco and a little bad language to mark the TENTH anniversary of the project with an Instagram Live.
Despite zero documentation, we reminisce on two lovely Tokyo joints to almost round off 2024's adventures.
Thank as ever to Brian for sound assistance.
A final couple of belters in Okayama and one of the weirder interactions we've ever had in a joint. And James defeats a fence.
As the end of our latest regional adventure beckons, we take
a walk down the Avenue in Kurashiki and visit the charming Gojitoma, a jewel of a joint in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks as ever to Brian for his patience and assistance with sound.
