One Month Home, Amazake Mornings, and Words That Stick Around — Japanese Bedtime Talk

うとうとtime – Sleepy Japanese Podcast · Jul 2, 2026 · 32m

In tonight's gentle episode, I quietly reflect on one month since coming back to Japan from India.

I talk about getting a little obsessed with soy sauce — trying different kinds from around the country — and making amazake and fermented anko at home, without any sugar.

I also share small things from daily life: walking barefoot on the beach in the evening, a singing grandpa I passed on the way, and words I've been noticing lately in Japanese conversation.

Relax with slow, soft Japanese as you drift into sleep.

Perfect for winding down, easing insomnia, and enjoying peaceful nights. 🌙✨
