    Lovely to see Greg again on your channel John. James Bond fan here and whenever my plane to Japan has movies on board I always try to find and watch You Only Live Twice.

    Stayed at k's house hostel here in 2012 and again in 2014. Good memories and great to see the area. Looks like it's changed a lot, all those cafes weren't there before, will have to take a look next time I'm in Tokyo. Thanks John

    I’m sorry to have missed the livestream. I know both of you have produced stories about keeping the Japanese green tea industry alive. John have you visited the Obubu tea farm in Uji? I know Greg has done at least two videos about them.

    Aiyah! Missed this one. 😢. Caught the replay and as usual loved your walking tours around Japan. Was a treat to see Greg as well. On your return visit to Hawaii Brandi and I will plan to take you to a fun and entertaining food coma Luau. Mahalo for having us join you. 🤙

    The Brooklyn Roasting Company is actually a coffee roaster from Brooklyn. So it’s not a local Kuramae roaster just naming their company Brooklyn.

    When my daughter and I were there a year ago, just before Japan reopened, we stayed in Misuji, Taito City, not far from where you are. Same exact vibe. Everyday, working class, residential neighborhood. But I guess Misuji was historically known for textile manufacturing and sales, stuff like bags, belts, and such, so it was cool to see some of those old shops still going strong. Pure Tokyo. And we could still hike to Sumida or Akihabara from there.

    Those burger prices were extreme ! Travelling by yourself is the only way to go 👍 You cant argue with anyone but yourself 🤭

      It’s on par, meat is pretty expensive here and with inflation the last 6-9 months, everything is up about 30% it seems.
      Make more at home these days.

    Nice video overall, but did you just say A sa ku sa as individual sounds? Anyone who knows Japan knows that the u in ku is silent. Its pronounced Asaksa. Wow, I just came back from staying in Kuramae a couple of days ago and miss it already.

    • @onlyinjapanGO

      Sure, loads of cafe - def call ahead though. The craft beer place by Eitai Bridge is closed though. More around Asakusabashi and Kuramae.
