During my recent trip to Japan, I spent two days in Fukuoka (southern Japan). A friend of mine, Mark Lee, was generous enough to treat me to watching a Sumo Match! He's a 45 second clip of the experience. This was filmed, from my iPhone, at the beginning of the tournament. Enjoy!
After my most recent visit to Japan, I counted 79 emails from our viewers in 3 months - asking for guidance about (a) getting seats, (b) finding the location and (c) understanding the protocol at Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo. This video a summarization of what you'll need to know. Enjoy!
One of my personal recommendations - located in the middle of the Gion quarters of Kyoto, world renowned as the center of the Japanese Geisha and Maiko culture, Restaurant Gion Okumura welcomes its customers with the bounty of the seasons through Chef Okumura’s exquisite, Kyoto ‘kaiseki’ style of French cuisine.
