Decision Time! The Coolest of the Cool 2016

Cool Japan has entered its 12th year. We will introduce the "best of cools" chosen during each episode in the past year all at once and determine "the coolest of the cool 2016"from among them. Further, we locally report on how Japanese culture is spreading overseas with things such as used bookstores and shiitake. We investigate how not only ramen and sushi but Japanese culture is spreading around the world and evolving.
