Your vlogs are comforting to watch for someone like me who likes quiet places no noises and pollution. This is the kind of life and environment i wish to live. I hope i can visit Japan and go to Nagasaki
I really enjoy your videos and your home looks so nice and cosey! and thank you for showing your cooking, I have learned a lot that way and I've improved my ability to cook, especially miso soup 😄
Hello there 🙂 As a huge fan of both your youtube channels I've got quite a lot of questions which lead me to the first question: 1: Would you consider doing a Q&A? As I'm sure there are a lot of us who got a lot of questions for you 🙂 And then: 2. What made you move to Nagasaki? 3. What do you do for a living exactly? To me it seems you are hugely committed to promoting Nagasaki, has it something to do with that? 4. Do you got any Japanese literature and music to recommend? 5. Have you ever considered giving online Japanese lessons? Kind regards from The Netherlands
Hi, TheMondayChef! Thank you for your questions📝 1: Would you consider doing a Q&A? As I'm sure there are a lot of us who got a lot of questions for you 🙂 -> Yes! If there is a demand from the viewers, I will consider doing it (making a video?). 2. What made you move to Nagasaki? -> To make a long story short, I love the history and culture of Nagasaki, especially the history of international exchange and friendships. 3. What do you do for a living exactly? To me it seems you are hugely committed to promoting Nagasaki, has it something to do with that? -> I work as a RU-vidr and tour guide specializing in Nagasaki. I have another channel (www.youtube.com/@ngsk/) and also work as a guide on this platform (gowithguide.com/supplier/53492). I just love Nagasaki, so I want to create a job related to Nagasaki or a job that allows me to share its charms with others. 4. Do you got any Japanese literature and music to recommend? -> I'm not so familiar with Japanese literature and music... but [luterature] Natsume Sōseki He is one of Japan's most renowned authors and a writer I personally admire. Almost every Japanese person knows about him, and I think most have read his works in their school classes. My favorite work of his is "Kokoro." Shusaku Endo He is also a very famous author. Many of his works feature themes of Christianity and "Christianity for the Japanese," and I have read several of them. My favorite is "Silence," which has also been made into a movie. Another work, "The Sea and Poison," was interesting for exploring what kind of spirituality the Japanese people possess. Other authors I like are.. Ryo Asai, Seo Maiko, Sonoko Machida, Kanako Nishi, and Rin Usami among others (They are relatively recent authors.) [Music] I'm not very familiar with music. The artists I sometimes listen to are... Yoasobi, Yorusika, Ado, Aimyon, Gen Hoshino, Utada Hikaru...? 5. Have you ever considered giving online Japanese lessons? Yes, actually I've considered it before as a side job, although I didn't start it at the time.
@@life_in_nagasaki Thank you so much for your extensive answers! You are doing an amazing job at promoting Nagasaki for foreigners like me. In the past it was mainly Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka that I wanted to visit but you really opened my eyes to Nagasaki 🙂 I will be sure to check out your literature and music suggestions (Utada Hikaru is pretty well known over here, also because of the series "First Love" on Netflix). Perhaps an enjoyable fact for you but a friend of mine works in a bookstore and these days they sell quite a bit of Japanese literature. Dutch people have become quite interested in Japanese culture overall. It all started with manga and anime but now also Japanese literature and philosophy are on the rise. Thank you again and have a pleasant day!
@@TheMondayChef Wow! Thank you for sharing. I didn’t know that Utada Hikaru is known in the Netherlands! I only visited the Netherlands for 2 or 3 days during college, so someday I'd like to go back for a longer stay to experience the culture and try more of the food☺ Have a good day!
Hi, I am a new subscriber and I really enjoyed watching this video. Your attempt at filleting the fish was waaay better than mine! 🙂You got a nice meal out of it. Just persevere. You may want to get a special fish filleting knife, the kind with a bendy blade. -- I like how you combine details of your domestic life with showing us little glimpses of Nagasaki, which are so interesting. I'd like to see more of these, please... -- Finally, congratulations on acquiring the vacuum cleaner, hope it serves you well -- and that the mites are gone for good! Greetings from Oxford, England.
Hi Gosia! Thank you for discovering and subscribing to my channel. I'm glad you enjoyed my video and thrilled to receive a comment from England! Yes, next after a vacuum cleaner, I really need to find a good knife to fillet fish...😆
Wow, vacuum cleaner 😀welcome to the 20th century 😀😀 I hope it will make your life a bit easier😊 congratulations on the fish, first time is always a mess 😊just keep these videos coming!
Thanks for the short hydrangea showcase ! I am not sure if it works, but planting garlic close to plants vulnerable to mites may help reduce the problem.
Great video as usual, mate! That was a good first attempt at filleting the fish, and if the end result tastes good, I think that's what matters the most. Of course, you will eventually get better at filleting, but if you need any help, I'm pretty sure there are video tutorials on RU-vid. I still remember the first time I visited the shopping street that you usually go to. My first impression of the place was that it reminded me a lot of the high streets you can find all over the UK.
Hi Zach! Great comment as usual 😆 I watched some tutorials but the result was like that 😂 I think I need more practice and a good knife😆. Oh, so there are such shopping streets in the UK! It's interesting that the atmosphere of the local shopping street in Nagasaki is similar to a high street in the UK.
@@life_in_nagasaki Having a good knife would definitely help a lot. The easier it becomes to fillet the fish, the more you'll want to practise and see how much better you can get. Yeah, I think the architecture of the buildings reminds me a bit of the pedestrian streets in Oxford and Cambridge. It has been over twenty years since I was last in the UK, though, but at least that was the 空気 I felt when I visited the shopping street.
I hope you got rid of the mites in your bedroom. They are such a nuisance. I’m sorry that it looks like your eggplant isn’t sprouting. I’ve never grown eggplant from seeds, I always buy seedlings from a garden center. I think you did a great job filleting the mackerel. The fillets looked good and you still had all of your fingers left. 😂
It seems that I succeeded in getting rid of the mites in my bedroom 👍. I usually buy seedlings, but this is my first time growing eggplants from seeds. I want to succeed next time! ☺️ Hahaha, yes, I still have all of my fingers left 🤣.
Je,je! Me hizo mucha gracia tu esfuerzo por filetear el jurel a la perfección 😅😂 A mí me encanta comer pescado...pero no me complico en absoluto para cocinarlo: simplemente lo abro por la mitad -dejando tambien la raspa y las espinas.Le da mayor sabor a la carne y,despues de haberlo cocinado,se desprenden con total facilidad- Si el pescado es azul,como el jurel,no le añado sal,porque ya es de sabor fuerte y salino; le añado alguna hierba aromática(orégano,romero,...)y un chorrito de limón,y lo envuelvo en papel de aluminio sin cerrarlo por completo; lo meto en el horno caliente 10-12 min...è voilà! Queda perfectamente jugoso y no se mancha nada(simplemente tiras a la basura el aluminio donde lo horneaste; no hay olores y el horno queda intacto😊😉) Esta técnica se llama "papillotte". Pruébalo la próxima vez,amigo: te ahorrarás los "malabarismos" con el cuchillo y,hecho al horno,es mucho más saludable. Gracias por otro vídeo fantástico, Todo mi apoyo y mi cariño desde🇪🇦👍
Gracias por ver mi video y dejar un comentario. ¡Vaya, realmente te encanta cocinar y eres muy bueno en ello! Tengo la impresión de que los platos de pescado españoles son muy deliciosos, así que me encantaría probarlos algún día. Seguiré practicando el fileteado de pescado poco a poco, así que agradecería mucho tu apoyo☺️
Nagasaki looks like so peaceful. is it always like this or just the momentary? i really like watching your videos. i hope you can make a lot vlogs. good night from turkey. ☺️
Было очень интересно. Я ведь день периодически проверял, не вышло ли новое видео) и наконец дождался. Хотел бы , что то рассказать про разделку рыбы, но это такое искусство которое надо постигать наблюдая, словами тут не расскажешь)) У меня тоже всегда были проблемы с целой рыбой, по этому сейчас я покупаю только филе) Спасибо за хорошее видео и хорошее настроение)
Good luck with keeping the mites away! So, do you usually place sweet potato in the fridge in Japan? We're told not to put any raw potato of any kind in the fridge. It makes their flesh less nutritious, because the cold starts converting their starches into sugars. Also... how does Amazon delivery work in the sloped areas? It seems like it would be a very demanding job to be an Amazon delivery driver there! 😵
Hi Maria! I'm not sure how to store potatoes properly... I guess I shouldn't have put them in the fridge 😂. I'm not very familiar with the exact range that delivery personnel can cover, but at the very least, they deliver packages to the sloped area where I live. I am truly grateful to the delivery personnel.
Минусы старых домов, их старые жители, насекомые 🫣😔 Я живу в доме которому почти 100 лет, с ремонтом, насекомые только маленькие паучки иногда летом приходят. Не убиваю их. Но как то раз заблудился один маленький таракан, пришёл от соседа, ненавижу их, мой большой страх. Удачно Вам вывести всю живность!
Peut être pour améliorer "la levé" des filets de poissons tu utiliserai peut être un couteau a lame souple et flexible qui glisserai aisément entre l’arête et la chair au japon on l’appelle feuille de saule (si je ne me trompe pas) .
I like to see your simple daily life with natural asmr.But i have a question,you eat miso soup everyday.Don't you feel bored with same dish? Normally don't you eat anything other then miso soup ever ?
Hi! Thank you for your question. When I cook for myself, I eat miso soup. I sometimes eat out, so it's not every day. Miso soup is so delicious that I never get bored of it 😆.
I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you! I respectfully would like to ask you a question: Do you think a 72 year old person would be able to clean and cook in the same way you do as a young man? 😊 Thank you again!
Hi! Thank you for watching. I'm not totally sure, but some might be able to and some might not. However, recently, people in their 70s are younger and healthier than before in Japan, so they could?
Співчуваю щодо шкідників🕷 Розкажіть будь ласка, шкідники це сезонне явище в Нагасакі чи прикрий випадок? Я також не можу здолати чищення риби для філе😅 скільки б я не пробувала🐟
