Kanji&Coffee
Kanji & Coffee is a relaxed, coffee-break podcast about language, culture, and life in Japan—brewed fresh every week.
Amber from Tokyo and Kade the expat chat about real Japanese and real experiences: subtle phrase nuances, word origins, everyday expressions, internet memes, and the kind of language you actually hear from people, not textbooks. Amber breaks down natural Japanese in an easy, approachable way, while Kade shares honest perspectives on moving to Japan and building a life here.
The conversations are slow, clear, and natural—easy to follow for Japanese listeners learning English, and perfect for English speakers who want to understand how Japanese is really used. Expect meaningful talks, cultural insights, bilingual moments, and plenty of “ohhh, that’s why” discoveries.

In this episode, we chat about Japanese food the way people actually eat it — from everyday breakfasts and lunch sets to what dinner usually looks like at home or when eating out.
We talk about eating habits that surprise a lot of people, like why raw eggs are safe (and common!), how meals are structured, and the little restaurant details you’ll notice right away — free water, fast service, and how dining culture in Japan feels different from the West.
Amber shares his typical daily food habits while we compare it with Western food culture and talk about food life in Japan, Bentos and Natto.
