The 2019 Rugby World Cup kicks off in Japan this Friday and to celebrate, the RTÉ Player asked rugby fans and well-known faces to try all things Japanese.
This is the first time the tournament will be held in Asia, and rugby fans across Ireland are preparing themselves for a bit of a culture shock.
Whether you're heading over yourself or just trying to get in the mood, now is the perfect time to immerse yourself in a little Japanese culture. Thankfully, a group of familiar faces have signed up do it for you!
First, we saw our panel of guinea pigs test their tolerance for wasabi. Next, they will brushed up on some top Japanese TV shows. Today, they're taste testing some snacks - what could possibly go wrong?
How hard can it be to open a soft drink? Our panel of rugby fans and celebs find it harder than you might think when trying out Japanese snack and treats.
Watch brand new Trying Japanese on the RTÉ Player or RTÉ.ie every day this week.
