Hey, I'm Joel.
-
Just an average American guy visiting Nikko, the heart of Japan.
-
On a quest to relive history, experience nature, taste the local food, but most importantly just have a good time.
-
Let's go!
-
We're here in Kanmangafuchi right now and you can see like all these cool 'jizos' along the way here.
-
Jizos and rivers, green... the spirits are with me right here man.
-
How to make Yuba and tofu.
-
When the soy milk comes to a boil, Yuba, a film, will form on the surface.
-
Scoop the Yuba and enjoy with the Yuba sauce.
-
Oh, that's so smooth.
-
Joel-san...

Okay, this thing is pretty sweet because it's carved from a tree with a katana.
-
I think it's pretty awesome.
-
This sword's got some bling on it.
-
Nanbokucho period, 14th century.
-
Kann pai!
-
That's good!
-
So this one won the award and I'm drinking it right here in the very place it was made.
-
Hand crafted, old-fashioned style, and it's delicious.
-
So there it was, my day in Nikko.
-
It's just a couple of hours by train from Tokyo and you can truly experience the more traditional side of Japan.
