Learn to Speak Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today we continue our story about Wasabi-chan. All the wasabi in Izu is missing and our intrepid heroine sets out for a wasabi-batake (wasabi field) to see if she can spot the culprit. Our grammar point is the construction -te kuru, used in this case to show doing an action and then coming back (last week was -te iku).
