TBS Radio will start distributing the new podcast program "Kaoru Ariga and Mami Imai's Hara Hachi Bunme."

Soup writer Kaoru Ariga and chef Mami Imai.

This is a talk program where the two, who constantly observe daily dining tables, relax and discuss everything from cooking and ingredients to events that happen at home.

We will deliver "hara hachi bunme" (moderately) casual conversations that go a little beyond cooking, covering topics such as "cooking tips," "how to enjoy seasonal vegetables," and "small discoveries at home."
