Hello everyone! Happy Tanabata—it’s the night of star-crossed lovers.
By the way, in this episode I'm chatting about bamboo and sasa grass. Are they the same thing?
Turns out, the main difference is size—bamboo is big, sasa is small. Even the pros can’t always tell them apart!
So I guess we can say they’re pretty much the same, right?
See if you can catch where I talk about this in the podcast!


みなさまごきげんよう、今夜は七夕、恋の物語です。ところでポッドキャストの中で竹と笹っておなじもの？と話しているのだけれど、調べてみたら大きいのが竹、小さいのが笹らしい。しかもプロでも見分けがつかないんだって！てことはほぼ同じものだと思っていいよね！ポッドキャストの中でどこでこの話をしているか、探してみてね
