À propos de ce contenu audio

Kanji & Coffee is a relaxed, coffee-break podcast about language, culture, and life in Japan—brewed fresh every week.

Amber from Tokyo and Kade the expat chat about real Japanese and real experiences: subtle phrase nuances, word origins, everyday expressions, internet memes, and the kind of language you actually hear from people, not textbooks. Amber breaks down natural Japanese in an easy, approachable way, while Kade shares honest perspectives on moving to Japan and building a life here.

The conversations are slow, clear, and natural—easy to follow for Japanese listeners learning English, and perfect for English speakers who want to understand how Japanese is really used. Expect meaningful talks, cultural insights, bilingual moments, and plenty of “ohhh, that’s why” discoveries.

    • Episode 7: Japanese Filler Words! Eeeeeee? Etto, Ano & More
      Jan 26 2026

      In this episode, we talk about Japanese filler words — the little sounds and words people use when they’re thinking, reacting, or keeping a conversation flowing. You hear them all the time in real Japanese, but textbooks rarely explain them properly.

      We break down common fillers like etto, ano, long eeeeee sounds, and reactions like naruhodo, and explain when they’re used, what they really mean, and how they change the feeling of a conversation.

      Amber explains how these fillers sound in natural speech and what feels normal (or strange), while Kade compares them to English fillers like “uh,” “um,” and “I see.”

    • Episode 6: Japanese Food & Meals! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Raw Eggs?
      Jan 19 2026

      In this episode, we chat about Japanese food the way people actually eat it — from everyday breakfasts and lunch sets to what dinner usually looks like at home or when eating out.

      We talk about eating habits that surprise a lot of people, like why raw eggs are safe (and common!), how meals are structured, and the little restaurant details you’ll notice right away — free water, fast service, and how dining culture in Japan feels different from the West.

      Amber shares his typical daily food habits while we compare it with Western food culture and talk about food life in Japan, Bentos and Natto.

    • Episode 5: Japanese Onomatopoeias Explained! "Sarasara" vs. "Zarazara"
      Jan 12 2026

      In this episode, we dive into the colorful world of Japanese onomatopoeias — words that describe sounds, textures, and even feelings in a way English often can’t. From smooth and light to rough and heavy, these expressions are everywhere in everyday Japanese.

      We break down the two main categories of onomatopoeias: feeling-based expressions and sound-based expressions, and explore how small changes — like switching か (ka) to が (ga) — can instantly make a word feel harsher, heavier, or more intense.

      Amber explains how these words are actually used in real conversations, while Kade tries to guess some of the English meanings.
