    Episode 490 - The Nation's Kitchen, Part 4 Jul 02, 2023
    Show notes

    Apologies for the delayed release! I had some computer issues on my end, but they are now resolved.

    This week is all about Osaka during the late Edo years, as the system of the Tokugawa shoguns began to fall further and further out of equilibrium. How did the "nation's kitchen" weather attempts to alter the system of rice-based taxation that was the backbone of Tokugawa Japan? And why was it the site of the first anti-shogunate rebellion in centuries?
