It all revolves around... coffee?

This is basic

Japanese seasoning

This miso is good for

cucumber dip...

Itadakimasu!

Join our boys as they tackle

everyday life as an expat in Japan

in the quintessential

coffee houses of Tokyo.

Hey, it's me.

Yeah, are you guys at

Gaien-mae Station?

I won't be able to make it right now.

I'll be a little late.

My wife is acting a little crazy.

So just go to the place

I just sent you on the map

and I'll meet you a little later.

Yeah, see you. Bye.

Hello, Marimo!

Yes!

Yes.

No.

Yes.

This is Sa-Shi-Su-Se-So.

"Sato" is sugar,

in Japanese...

"Shio" is salt.

"Su" is vinegar.

And "sho-yu..."

"Sho-yu" is "sho," but

"se,"

...a long time ago

we called shoyu "se-yu."

So it's really "shoyu."

So this is soy sauce.

And "So" is "miso."

Sa-shi-su-se-so.

This is basic

Japanese seasoning.

Northern side miso

around Nagano...

This is "koji," miso

called "kome-koji"

It's a sweet miso.

This is good for

cucumber dip.

I've tried that.

The last one is mugi-miso.

It's from the Kyushu area.

It's a little bit sweeter.

No!

It's good for weight lifting.

Really? It's true!

Wow!

First potatoes of the season!

Like this...

Very easy!

I though you'd need a hammer!

Very easy!

So, just go like...

Tokusen Maru Daizu soy sauce

is better, isn't it?

This is good.

It's very easy to make.

Before you cook, you cut it up.

Not all the way through, though?

Andy's a vegetarian....

Oh yeah!

Wow!

Yep.

I'm gonna be a little later again.

My wife is really....

just... I dunno.

Her monthly craziness. I dunno.

But go on to the place I sent you

in Kabukicho.

And I'll meet you guys there later.

And give my best to

Elias as well.

I know he'll be super stoaked.

Alright, see ya, bye.

That would be awesome.

I would love to go there.

Hey, Marley.

Yeah, it's me.

I don't know what to say.

I'm not going to be able to make it.

I'm in a closet.

Head to the place on the map.

I'll talk to you guys later.

Bye.

Aww, geez.

It's gonna be all night.

I can't believe this.

I'm very excited!

Honestly, I'm really excited!

They gave us a bag

in which we put our shoes.

And then,

we can take care of our shoes.

By ourselves.

Ooh!

Lovely!

I like-ah the seats!

There's water!

There's a crab!

There's a river here!

What the heck!
