Hot-pot cuisine

In winter season in Japan, hot-pot cuisine, termed Nabe in Japanese, is especially popular. The followings are very good TV program introducing the Japanese hot-pot in English explanations.
The series of program, Begin Japanology, provides excellent introductions of Japanese cultures, even their historical background, and is quite informative even for us Japanese with easy-to-listen beautiful English narrations by the caster, Mr. Peter Barakan from London.
Unfortunately, not all the past articles of Begin Japanology are available in YouTube, but other topics opened in YouTube from the Begin Japanology are all interesting. The others may become available in NHK-on-demand service through the NHK web site, but must be charged.
