J-Trip Plan

From Mt. Fuji to the Deep Sea & The Joys of Miso (3x4)

Air date: Feb 19, 2018

Numazu in Shizuoka Prefecture is home to Japan's tallest mountain and deepest seas. Our reporter rides the Shinkansen about an hour west from Tokyo to tour this city that boasts the best viewing spots of Mt. Fuji, and visit the country's only deep-sea aquarium. He then savors some deep-sea fish cuisine in style. Also, we discuss miso soybean paste – an indispensable condiment in Japanese cooking – and share a quick recipe to enjoy miso soup when you are on the run. Reporter: Charles Sabas
