Christmas in Japan - Spill The Matcha

What this episode covers

Get ready to swap your roasted turkey for fried chicken! This week on Spill the Matcha, Misato and Cherine are celebrating the holidays by comparing Christmas in Japan with the festive traditions of Europe, specifically the UK! They’re spilling the matcha on the unique Japanese holiday customs, like why Christmas Eve is celebrated as the most romantic date night of the year and how the bizarre tradition of ordering KFC for Christmas dinner ever started. (P.S. The girls confess they prefer the fried chicken from Mos Burger!) Then, they compare notes with the UK's traditional approach, discussing everything they miss: the cheesy jokes and paper crowns of Christmas crackers, the charming fun of Christmas markets, and the rich, boozy deliciousness of Christmas pudding. Tune in for the ultimate girls' talk about romance, food, and the completely different ways the world celebrates the most wonderful time of the year!
