Kyotopia Podcast

Hungry for some cultural enlightenment? We've got you covered in this episode of Kyotopia!  Join us as we explore the fascinating world of cultural collectivism in Japan and indulge in the mouth-watering cuisine that makes this country a foodie paradise.  Our guests will be dishing out their personal experiences (and hopefully some insider tips) about Japanese food, with a special focus on the beloved and addictive dish of ramen.  So sit back, relax, and let the slurping begin.  Any burning questions or comments, let us know - we're always happy to hear from our listeners.
