So Japanese ポッドキャスト
Welcome to So Japanese Podcast! I’m Ryusuke — a chef, storyteller, and lifelong observer of Japanese culture.
In each episode, I share stories and lessons from Japan that reveal the heart of everyday life — from food and family to philosophy and language.
Sometimes I’ll dive into Japanese culture and traditions, and other times, I’ll teach real, natural Japanese expressions you can actually use.
It’s all about discovering what makes Japan so Japanese.

Hadaka Matsuri: Japan’s Wildest Naked Man Festivals!
How far would you go for good luck? In Japan’s Hadaka Matsuri, thousands of nearly naked men rush through the cold, get drenched in freezing water, and battle for sacred objects—all in the name of fortune and tradition. In this episode, we explore the 3 biggest Hadaka Matsuri, from the rowdy Saidaiji Eyo in Okayama to the eerie Shin Otoko ritual in Aichi. What’s the meaning behind these wild celebrations, and why do people still participate today? Strip away the misconceptions and join us for a deep dive into Japan’s most extreme festivals!
