Hi there! This is Peach and Steven. We are here only RU-vid channel mainly. We are talking about Japanese culture and sharing Japanese vlog:) Hope you enjoy it!
Our concept of this channel We are recording in Matsuyama city which is located in Shikoku island.
Let me introduce ourselves
Steven is the guest house owner which is near Dogo Onsen, one of the oldest hot spring in Japan. I used to live in the US for 5 years, so I have some idea of American culture.
Peach
Peach was born in Canada to a few Asian countries. Her mother is Japanese, so she grew up Japanese community. Thus, although she understands the Asian culture, her knowledge is based on western culture.
We will show some hilarious videos such as reaction videos, strange things in Japan.
Moreover, Peach grew up in bilingual environments and is able to switch between languages, so we will be doing double reactions in Japanese and English.
Uncle Roger was a street food vendor as a teenage guy, S&P. I'm 100% sure he is knowledgeable about Asian cuisines in regional national dishes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be criticizing TV chef and home cook on RU-vid.
people use chopstick in south east asia so its common they make the rise more wet to stick together so easier to eat with chopstick but in middle east and northen african countries they drain the rice so its easier to eat with spoon ...she is indian so...thats how they make the rice in there same as the countries i mention.
About slapping or smacking the rice bag means it's a good fresh product that has gone through the manufacturing process. Just think of a salesman showing or promoting their new product.
maybe the reason why nasi goreng is a hangover food, because in indonesia so many street vendors that sell nasi goreng. there is also the seller who go around to sell, so people can order easily. and also people in here loves their nasi goreng spicy, it could makes you feel more 'fresh'.
I haven't been in the UK, but I have a few friends that moved in Belfast, Northern Ireland some time ago, and they're always saying that the place is good, but food is terrible. After watching you guys and some other channels reacting to the various cooking on British TV I now understand why my friends don't like the food there :D
5:10 So the tiger print shirt lady in the Yakuza games is inspired by real-life people :D Mmh, yeah. My parents weren't very strict on me for school. As long as it wasn't a fail it was OK. Between 5th and 7th grade I was a terrible student in terms of grades in a lot of the subjects. Chemistry and physics were my favorite subjects, and I had perfect grades in them, as well as grammar. Evreything else was... not good :D My dad used to be an electrician, and a family called him to repair their oven, so I tagged along. Turned out the lady was a teacher some 20 years ago, so while my dad worked she basically thought me to write better (my handwriting was barely readable), and then explained how the stuff we were writing in literature class worked, so a spark lit, and next year I went from terrible grades to near-excellent :D (Our grade system is from 2 to 6, where 2 is fail, and 6 is excellent). I remember my math teacher started accusing me of cheating, cause she couldn't believe how much I had improved in just one summer :D
Galanghal is type of rhizome herbs just like a nephew to ginger. It had more mellowed flavor than stinging flavor of ginger. How to describe it, just like you take lemongrass and lemon leaves yes looks lemon from the word but different. There many type of rhizomes herb like cumin, curcuma and red ginger (the one that used as palate cleanser for Japanese) you can't say oh cumin is like red ginger taste different and the effects also different. And I bet you will going to angry if I serve curcuma and said to you oh it's red ginger same thing. Galanghal is same case here with ginger. Although they both came from same rhizomes species just like cumin, curcuma, ginseng, galanghal and ginger. They all different in use and effects. Ginger boost your immune system and increase your metabolism. Cumin is antibiotics and antiinflammatories it used as natural coloring yellow for curry. Curcuma is antiinflammatories and appetite restoration medicine. Ginseng is stamina restoration medicine and metabolism restoration medicine. Galanghal is cooking herb also with medicinal properties like anti inflammation and can be used to reduce pain from toothaches and gum inflammation and for reducing gastric acid reflux. All of them taste different and used for different purpose.
I think the thing Japanese would flex about most would be getting into a good university or company or a promotion. Prominence combined with success is what they'd most openly brag about. So things like their kid marrying into a good wealthy family would also be one. Though for wealth in itself they're more likely to be discreet or at least present themselves with projected humble mannerisms regarding their wealth in a tastefully established generational wealthy type way, rather than a nouveau riche.
I was trying something new this evening watching this video and I'm very glad I gave it a chance. It was funny, informational and I learned about your culture a bit more. It was very good, ty.
16:40 just got to this point, the broth looks exactly what I expected it to look like with all that meat :D The meat he got also had plenty of fat around it, and I assume that melted and gave the extra coloring.. almost looks like water-y gravy..
6:40 Yeah, always keep an eye on the oil when you're cooking :D Back in 2017 a neighbor almost caused a fire, cause he left some steak to grill and went out to get some alcohol :D I had just fallen asleep after a night shift at my back then job, so I got a grand total of 30 minutes of nap before I got woken up by the fire truck :D Edit: Oof, 1/5 rating for Nigella :D Yeah, I'm not sure I'd like eating that bowl of ramen-like thing, it didn't seem like it would taste like anything particular.
England has the very worst food in the world. I am American. I lived in Boston for 20 years. LOTS of good Vietnamese restaurants. Pho is my favorite. I love MSG. Vietnamese Restaurants are the best value.
I have a friend who when we were small used to always do this thing where if I say I did something he'd always go "I did <thing> more" :D But yeah, usually it was a situation of an insecure person openly bragging about the wealth they inherited from their parents and whatnot. It's usually not looked upon fondly, but people still do it :)
I'm from Bulgaria, currently living in Poland for the past 3 years, and around Christmas is one of the 2 times of the year I go home to spend time with my parents and friends :)
In one foul swoop, Oliver had managed to insult the Japanese, Thai, Chinese and other Asian communities with his version of their national cuisine. Uncle Roger may have it in for Oliver but seems Oliver never learn which probably explains why his restaurants are all failures😢
People brag about scars, because they mean "I was in danger of dying and didn't" aka "I'm hard to kill!" And also "I'm not a wimp!", because someone will invariably tell you how they took it without blinking or screaming.... In certain cultures, especially the warrior subculture of cultures they were also seen as a mark of honour and bravery. And in german fencing of the 19th century (culturally so up til the early 20th century) having a Schmiß/smite or fencing scar was seen as desirable and anyone who did not do this trunctuated mockery of fencing that was called the Mensur was seen as a Coward. The Mensur or Academic fencing was just a mockery or proper fencing as the point was pretty much to get hit in a non-lethal way, whereas in proper fencing the point is to get hit. To that end all avoidance of hits, any dodging and the footwork, which is the groundwork for any proper fencing was forbidden. It's basically two guys standing around waving their hands with swords in them.
