Hello Chris! I can't believe you read my story, thank you. To add context the Ryokan was located in Kanda, Tokyo and in the description was listed as a Ryokan, so it might've been a lie but I didn't consider that was possible, since I imagined Booking has a way to moderate that.

I'm still waiting for Chris and the boys to do the original Ninja Warrior. If you can do the Spartan Games, Biking across Japan and climbing Mt. Fuji you can handle Ninja Warrior.

Maybe if there is a beginner set of challenges. From what I've seen, the real one has only gotten harder and harder to do over the years.

I know a guy who does that. I would say there's no chance in hell Chris could do it. You need to be a gymnast for half the stuff and have the arm strength to hold your body weight up. Maybe Pete could do it, but even Pettas Sifu doesn't have a gymnast's body and would have to lose a lot of weight (losing muscle in his case). Play to your strengths.

Hearing Pete say he's continuing his energy drink addiction and he went to a dog show. I thought he was going to say he was competing in the agility competition. Lol 😂

Broad Sake! The epitome of the UK man coming to Japan and capitalizing on their alcohol! Next up, best selling sake in Japan! 🤣

Chris you definitely need to get a film under your belt!

It says in a few months the bookstore I work at here in America will start selling your book. Can't wait to start reading it!

I really enjoy these conversations. 👍 Thanks 👍

yep, got me a few 2nd hand kimonos, pants, tops and items while in japan XD would love to do it again!

Bar Rockaholic is also in Shinjuku Chris, I've been there a few times when I was going out in metal bars daily.

Excellent, I start work, Chris and Pete come to give me sustenance.

Very nice episode 👍️

I just finished your "Abroad in Japan" book and really enjoyed it. I grew up in Japan on a military base until heading off to college, so your book brought back a lot of fond memories of living and traveling in Japan but from a true "Gaijin" perspective. Keep up the work and looking forward to your next book should you decide to publish.

A new abroad in japan vid would be great...hopefully there's one coming soon

11:43 last time a was in Scotland, drunk landlord meant absolute fun and accurate good whisky brewery 😂😂

I'm actually dying at Pete calling lawyers sexy.

Cant wait for the special Tokyo Temple Transit episde XD

People advertised on late night channel 4 in the 90's i am sure they can cope with adult topics on youtube..

Paint Shop pro was a great budget graphics program for its time. Have many happy memories using it back in the late 90's. :-)

My partner got me your book for my birthday this week (it is available in Australia). She said she read some of it and gave faint praise that it appeared to be well written. As she has PhD in History and also worked as a professional editor this was very understated approval.

Didn't know there are cribs in Paris. You learn every day something new. ;) ☮️

Chris - Would you ever consider signing & mailing book plates? Basically like a signed card that can go inside the book.

Have you tried adding sake kasu to miso soup or portage? It makes for an excellent addition. 👍🏻

Aww, Chris defending one of Sharla’s favorite drinks 😃♥️🥛🍶

Francis Ford Coppola did whatever he wanted with this new film because he paid for it all himself, so he didn’t have any production companies or shareholders to worry about. He had a vision and made it real, and I think that’s part of his genius.

Prince Abroad. Sounds fun.

I also watch black belt barrister 🤣 good content!

Go to the Watershed Bar in Akasaka, best bar in Tokio if you are ready to dish out 1600 to 2500 Yen for a drink. But those are world class drinks! The owner is a genuine mixologist.

Golden Gai isn't especially crowded on weeknights outside one or two bars. So if you're on vacation, visit there all you want. Just know that it gets hectic on the weekends.

Thats helpful I wanted to check it out without the wall to wall body's

I miss the podcast logo on the TV behind Pete, what happened to make it go away? Did the TV break?

It sounds like they got the authentic down town New York apartment experience

I have been drinking sake for well over 10 years now, the trend doesn't surprise me.

soooo Pete sounds like he's just...a raccoon. a raccoon that you've let into your home. just starts rummaging around.

4:42 isn't the particle へ 😂

Yes, but second hand shops like it are not exclusive to the US. A famous second hand chain in Japan is called Hard Off, for example.

Pete-if you don't stop touching your nose you'll be known as Picking Pete!

I think Platoon was at least as good. :p

7:44 "minecrafted"

Anything in Japan be less than perfect given that everybody has to work every waking hour?

Could also be they saw "Oh westerners comming sigh" and then just gave them the shit.

Meanwhile here in America we drink more and young people drink it like water. Needa start importing more this way.

damn, pete's a freak lmao

I’ve visited a lot of sake breweries in Japan and they’re definitely not all the same. You should check out some of the breweries like miyoshino shuzo in Nara or terada honke in Chiba to see how young brewers at old breweries are reinvigorating the industry. They both offer tours during brewing season. Alongside that, sake is growing quite a bit internationally. Besides the export market growth, breweries are being started all over the world. In the UK there’s at least two (dojima and kanpai). In the US where I live there’s at least a dozen. My wife runs a sake bar and shop and focuses primarily on education that’s also been slowly but steadily growing and we see a lot of passionate sake drinkers come through.
