Description

The Simpsons are going to (have just been to) Japan! And they’re here to tell you about what they did on their holidays – to discuss sustainable Japanese craft techniques, heated toilet seats, and a proliferation of cheap disposable plastic. Here are some of our key findings: 

• Don’t mistreat the indigo vats.
• Japanese culture is trending.
• £4 bowls of ramen! (Four pounds Jeremy, that’s insane.)
• You can find William Morris paper cups in the 100Yen store.
• A good loquat is hard to find.
• Kasia wants to meet everyone’s siblings.
