You are the reason JAPAN Forward launched The Week — a podcast for busy people who want to keep abreast of what is going on in Japan, hosted by Arielle Busetto. After a hiatus, the podcast is back for a special episode. Join me to discover great spots with amazing seafood along northeast Japan's Pacific coast. In our twenty-fourth episode, we give a rundown of our recent trip to Hitachinaka in Ibaraki and Iwaki in Fukushima. You will hear from the vendors selling the freshest fish and local restaurants preparing it, and get our reactions while touring these colorful locations.    Join us wherever you get your podcasts — on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Podcasts, or directly through our website at JAPAN Forward. Reach out and stay in touch on Twitter @ariellebusetto. We have a library of podcasts available on our landing page, including Real Issues, Real Voices, Real Japan ー in both English and Japanese ー and discover Sports Talk.
