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.
日本の“日常”を、ちょっと深く、ゆるく楽しむラジオ。

While visiting my hometown Seto, I met a ceramic shop owner who shared a very Japanese way of thinking — teinei na kurashi, or “a mindful life.”
He reminded me that life isn’t just about saving things for special occasions, but about finding joy in everyday moments.
This is the story of how that simple talk in a pottery shop changed my perspective on happiness.
今回の帰国中、瀬戸で訪れた小さな陶器屋さんで、ひとりの職人さんと出会いました。その店主との何気ない会話の中で教わったのは、「丁寧な暮らし」という、とても日本的な生き方の考え方。特別な日のためだけじゃなく、何気ない日常の中にこそ幸せがある。
このエピソードでは、瀬戸の陶芸職人との出会いを通して気づいた、毎日を大切に生きるということについてお話しします。
