Early Access for Samurai, Postcard and Daimyo supporters - Thank you! This is NOT a paid sponsor job. I received no money to make this. They gave me access to learn more about the Sunakku culture and I didn’t add any logo or promotions other than a link in the description which allows you to take the tour if you like. It’s convenient to be able to visit these same places with a guide so a win-win for viewers. It’s an affiliate’s link but that usually means I get pocket change for a coffee if it’s used. I was thrilled to do it though because the big picture is that these snack bars are very close to leaving us, there’s not much time. I believe in what Igarashi-san is trying to do with a tour, to help the Mama-san’s grow. Shinbashi’s west side will be renovated within 8 years. So these mama-san bars will most likely go too. Japan has 100,000 snack bars, more than convenient stores! It won’t die out completely but it’s not growing anymore. Great to have Matt with me again, hope you like the episode! This episode was supported by you - the history, the culture, the food, the story. I’m very grateful -J ^_^
