Unique Izakaya Food, College Entrance Exams, and Zeb on the School Website

01/18/23 • 53 min

This week we were served some foods we've never tried before while at an Izakaya with friends, but not all of them were dishes we'd choose to eat again... We also talk about the nationwide University entrance exams which happened this week, and the very friendly feature of Zeb on the front page of his high school's website.

Listen to the end of every episode to hear our Japanese "words-of-the-week," and head to @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos.
