This week we're talking about collecting Goshuin (御朱印) seal stamps at shrines and temples, unique ways to eat konjac (konyakku or こんにゃく), and the different onsen (hot spring) water in Gunma Prefecture. We specifically discuss the mineral-rich water in Shima, the sulfuric water in Kusatsu, and the iron-rich water in Ikaho. Finally we'll mention a couple recent articles about mystery tsunamis and the plea for Japanese residents to eat more scallops.
Thanks also to Sandy, Steven, and Elijah for sending in some listener emails this week.
