Sup-Sapporo: Dosanko Life

by Chad

We are two local Hawaii boys that randomly met in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan! We always talked about starting a podcast about living in Japan and finally decided to give it a shot. We will be talking about life, culture, food, experiences, opinions, pros, cons, recommendations, etc. We hope that we can dabble into everything and give a unique perspective from local boy eyes.We are also new and don't know much about starting a podcast, so it will be a journey for us. Hope we stick with it and hope some of you join us for the ride!
