JapanEats.tv

by Tokyo Terrace on February 4, 2010

There are a lot of things that make living in Tokyo really interesting. The food, the sights, and the culture are all incredible and provide numerous outlets for learning and creativity. Knowing that this experience would bring new opportunities to my door, I never thought that living in Tokyo would bring me face-to-face with a camera (actually several cameras) and a group of great people with a brilliant vision of bringing food and drinks in Japan closer to home through their website, JapanEats.tv.

My time spent with the Japan Eats crew has been one of the best experiences I’ve had while living here. Being involved in this project has given me new motivation to learn even more about Japanese culture, specifically in the culinary sense. Along with a wonderful vision for Japan Eats TV, their knowledge about food in this booming metropolis is extensive. Japan Booze Blind, also known as JBB, is one of the exciting projects they have going. With several videos focused on Japanese “booze”, JBB features host Christopher Pellegrini along with two guests that change with each show. With some witty banter and discussion about the history, taste and other various characteristics of the featured beverage, JBB is a guessing game of sorts. In this video, beer (or non-beers as it were) are featured. I was lucky enough to be one of the 2 guests for the show, so if you’d like to watch to find out more about exactly what JBB is all about and to see if I know my Japanese beers well enough, click on the link below:

So now you might be wondering where the food videos are. Japan Eats will be releasing episodes devoted to discovering deliciousness in even the smallest corners of this huge city. In December, we filmed a show in Nakameguro. There isn’t a video to share with you yet, but sometime this month it will be available. In the mean time, check out the great Japanese recipes, prepared and photographed by Marcus Lovitt and wife Mieko, posted on the site. Also, here are a couple photos of the Nakameguro shoot to tide you over. Trust me, it will definitely be worth watching!

I am sure all you food lovers reading will enjoy JapanEats.tv. Please check in to see how the site develops over the coming weeks and months. Thanks to Marcus for recruiting me as a participant in this exciting project, and to the rest of the crew for being so warm and welcoming!

    You are too lovely! Congrats on this great opportunity. I love how Japan has always been a real foodie place; I’ve seen old TV programs that just talk about human interest stories and half of it was about food. It’s a wonderful thing to be living in a food culture; it really emphasizes the importance of enjoying life, one bite at a time!

    Japan Eats produces new media content about Japanese food and drink.It lacks much of the awkwardness one usually finds when foreign celebrities appear on Japanese TV.
