About plastics - I've noticed that you sometimes heat up frozen rice in a plastic bag in the microwave. I'm no expert but potentially micro plastics could leak from the plastic bag to the rice when heated up so I'd remove the rice from the bag before heating it up. Thank you for showing us these glinpses of Nagasaki and your life!
Plastic ? Like wraps and bags ? Bring a shopping bag or something similar for shopping or pack spare plastic bags. When weighing fresh produce, just apply the price tag directly on the vegetable. For cold storage, use something like Tupperware or any containers of sorts. Thank you for showing us your garden ! 🙏
I really love that Nagasaki educates residents and visitors about its history. I didn’t know about the connection to Portugal. It would be cool if someone, a restaurant or a wine merchant, would promote Portuguese wines. I wish I could find onions as fresh and as beautiful as the ones you harvested. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us.
Thank you for your warm comment ☺️. Nagasaki was established as an international trading port, initially for the Portuguese. Since then, it has welcomed visitors from all over the world, including China, Korea, the Netherlands, Spain, Britain, France, Russia, and the USA, among others. I believe Nagasaki has a rich history of international friendship. I hope you enjoy my videos ☺️
Olá! Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷, adoro ver seus vídeos, sua comida é prática, saudável e deliciosa! Agradeço por mostrar algumas coisas quando você vai passear e fazer compras! Fique bem, até breve! 🌺
Working the soil in your garden looks really hard and compacted. But it's only rarely backyard unamended soil is anything else. Hopefully the compost will eventually loosen it up.
Justo acabo de llegar de un largo paseo junto al mar y me encuentro con tu vídeo: ¡Qué alegría me he llevado!(acabo de empezar a verlo😊 Vives en un lugar privilegiado: estás en un entorno natural y,a la vez,disfrutas de las comodidades y los servicios que ofrece el área urbana...y sin tener que desplazarte con ningún vehículo!👌 Yo vivo en una isla pequeña y aquí son muy comunes los boquerones secos y salados (así se conservan durante mucho tiempo🐟);los llamamos "pejines" y se acostumbra a flambearlos con ron para comerlos así,como un pequeño acompañante🔥🎏 Muchas gracias por compartir tus blogs,querido amigo,me hacen muy feliz😁 Un abrazo grande desde España💖
Gracias por encontrar mi canal. Puedo disfrutar tanto del entorno urbano como del natural aquí, en la zona inclinada de Nagasaki. Aunque no puedo conducir, no es un problema ya que tengo otros medios de transporte(o, ¡a pie!). ¡¡Pajines suena genial!! Quiero visitar España y probarlo algún día... Muchas gracias desde Nagasaki ☺️

Hello, new subscriber here :) the 'weed' at 2:12 looks like goldenrod, an edible medicinal herb. The leaves smell lemony when torn & it blooms pretty yellow flowers. It grows in my backyard as well & I've made tea with it before.. I can see why you'd want to pull it though, they get pretty tall.
Thank you for subscribing! Wow, you really know a lot about plants! I've seen a lot of flowers that look like goldenrod blooming like crazy in my neighborhood, so I think this plant is probably goldenrod too. I think we should pull them out before they grow too big...😰
I don’t eat a lot of meat. Like you I love potatoes and paneer. It’s a bit like tofu I guess. I am growing tomatoes and baby cucumbers in my garden this year for the first time. I love flowers and have lots in the garden.
Hi, I often dig my compost into my garden beds and it quickly rots down. Can I suggest adding some water to the compost, as you soil looks a little dry. In Australia we sometimes have problems with rats and possums digging up the compost, so I cover it with cardboard. Enjoy your gardening adventure.
Thank you for the advice! Yes, the soil looks a little dry and there has been no rain recently, so I'll add some water! ☺️ I hope no rats or possums come to my garden 😭 (I have never seen a wild possum in Japan)
Lovely video! Congratulations again on your increase in subscribers! Oh, and good luck on the compost. You might need to bury it deeper to keep animals from digging it up- depends on what kind of nighttime animals you have in your neighborhood. Plastics? We have some cloth vegetable bags that work for some things, but because many stores pre-package their food, it isn't always an option. For storage we've been making the move to glass containers. They still have plastic in their lids, but we avoid using plastic wherever possible. Oh, and I have a question: is there a reason why tofu is held in the hand while cutting it?
Thank you for the advice! ☺️ It sounds nice to use glass containers. I want to try that too. Regarding cutting tofu, I have no idea why I (and other Japanese) cut tofu like this. Maybe it's because it's easier to cut?...🧐
Yes, I really need to buy a wooden cutting board 😭. I found a great one from a local area in Nagasaki and I really want to buy it, but it's a bit expensive, so I'll buy it when this channel succeeds in monetizing 😂.
Hi. I tend to discard plastic bags into household waste - purely because they are not one of the items that are recycled. Otherwise everything else that can be recycled goes into the recycle bins and are collected every two weeks. I do also tend to use the plastic bags to store rubbish in that can't be recycled or is labelled as household waste, here in the UK.
Thank you for sharing the case in the UK! So, it's like that. I've heard that European countries are more advanced in reducing plastic and recycling compared to Japan, so I'm very curious about how it's like. Thank you very much!!
I work as RU-vid, podcaster and travel guide specializing in Nagasaki city ( I also have another RU-vid channel (all in Japanese though) specializing in Nagasaki). Thank you for your comment!
Japan definitely uses more plastic than where I'm from (Chicago, IL, USA). Things are always individually wrapped - I was shocked to see individual carrots and bananas wrapped in plastic in some grocery stores in Japan. It just felt more wasteful, especially since some of these produce items don't even need plastic containment in the first place. Also many snacks have each piece individually wrapped INSIDE the bag itself (like some senbei I bought). At home, these aren't all recyclable, so I try my best to get rid of plastic and waste properly. For home/kitchen purposes, I use a lot of reusable containers made of glass or plastic, and sometimes I'll wash plastic sandwich baggies so I can reuse them again. Some restaurants put food in nice plastic takeaway containers that I'll also use for storing food later once I clean them. I'll reuse them as much as possible until it's time to recycle them.
Thank you for your comment and for sharing what it's like in Chicago, USA☺️. I've realized how much we Japanese consume plastics, and I want to take steps to reduce plastic consumption in my daily life, as much as possible without overburdening myself.
@@life_in_nagasaki it's a good habit to have! I just visited Japan for my second time ever last month - I was actually in Nagasaki for a few days! it was so lovely. Whenever I went to a conbini or most other stores, I would often refuse bags when cashiers would ask. (i learned to say いらない a lot haha). I bring a reusable bag around with me for groceries and shopping in general. Here in Chicago, they charge you 7 cents per bag if you want to use their bags for your items, so most people carry reusable bags around with them. this is pretty common in most of the big cities in the US.
Just discovered your videos and I'm loving the vibes 😊 Can I ask you what's your current job? I'm curious. I can see that you work (or study) from home. Saludos desde España!
Thank you for discovering my channel! I work as a RU-vidr, podcaster, and travel guide specializing in Nagasaki City. I also have another channel dedicated to Nagasaki. I usually work from home. Saludos desde Nagasaki! ☺️
Em Portugal também temos muitas receitas com sardinhas( assadas,fritas,em molho de tomate,etc)😅 Adoro ver os seus vídeos, são muito relaxantes. Beijos de Portugal 🇵🇹 obrigada por falar do meus país no seu vídeo 😊
Estou emocionada por receber um comentário de Portugal! Uau eu gostaria de aprender receitas do seu país e apresentar para Nagasaki! Obrigada pelo vosso comentário! 🇵🇹🤝🇯🇵 ☺️
снова привет) как всегда прекрасное видео. особенно мне нравятся милый трамвайчики, в вашем городе) прямо как в аниме) и я рад увидеть, что канал стал расти еще быстрее. это здорово. спасибо )
@@life_in_nagasaki у нас тоже в городе много холмов, а так как у меня нет машины, но есть велосипед, передвигаться по городу бьывает сложно. приходится искать пути, чтобы не подниматься все времы в горку) наверно у вас так же) а в целом, мне нравятся такие города, где все копактно, для меня это выглядит более уютно, чем город с огромными пустыми проспектами)
So calm and peaceful🌸, oh i just wanna say that sometime the sound when u r cooking is a lil bit loud😂, but i really appreciate these vlog, have a good day!
Here are some recommendation ☺️ - Coffee Hitomachi kasa-hitomachi.com/hitomachi/ - Kariomons Coffee Nagasaki instagram.com/kariomons_nagasaki/ - Shuka (Japanese tea shop) instagram.com/shuka_tea_/ - Umegasaki Shoten / Hana mo mi mo instagram.com/umegasaki_syouten/?hl=en - Kofukuji temple instagram.com/kofukuji_nagasaki/?hl=en
Slightly off topic but I've noticed watching your videos and other Japanese people's videos that you tend to cut tofu up in the palm of your hand. I was wondering if you could tell me why tofu is cut up in this manner and not on a chopping board? Thank you and can't wait to see your next video. Cheerio.
Thank you for your question! Actually, I'm not sure why we often cut tofu in our hands, and it seems like almost all Japanese are also unsure...lol I think we do it this way because: - It's a common tradition for us. - It's actually safer than it looks. - It's actually easier to cut the tofu in your hand than on a cutting board. - It's easier to transfer the tofu directly to the pan. - This avoids dirtying a cutting board. Hope this helps.. 😌
Omg lol I asked that while watching the beginning of the video and realized you showed your gardening at the end!!!! Sorry about that! Thank you for another very nice and peaceful video.
Nice videos of "ordinary life." Tamanegi no ne no bubun wa oishii desuyo. Mottainai! For misoshiru: When you add miso, is the heat still on? If you add it after the heat is turned off, the nutritious elements of miso will be preserved.
Not to eat the actual hair-like roots! Cut only those away, keeping the onion connected at the root end. That part of the onion is good to eat. I began studying traditional Japanese cooking through macrobiotics in the 1960s. (Do you know about it?) Kantan na Nihongo shika hanasemasen. Ohenji o arigato.
Thank you for the details! I'm not familiar with macrobiotics, but my friends have told me about it before. I think traditionalJapanese cooking is good for health, maybe. Wow, Arigatou gozaimasu!!
El nattō es un plato tradicional japonés elaborado con soja fermentada. Tiene una textura pegajosa, un olor penetrante y un sabor fuerte. Suele comerse en el desayuno con arroz, salsa de soja y aderezos como cebollas verdes. Es rico en proteínas, vitaminas y probióticos, y ofrece numerosos beneficios para la salud y una experiencia culinaria única 🫘
Anda,no lo sabía!! Más que un alimento es un SUPERalimento! Gracias por contestar,me ha hecho mucha ilusión (no me lo esperaba🙄😃 Eres genial,amigo,Cuídate y mucha suerte con el canal😉
Une chose que je ne comprends pas dans la préparation de certains plats japonais : Pourquoi on ne fait pas rissoler les oignons avant de faire les soupes ?
HOJE TAMBEM ESTA CHOVENDO AQUI (BRASIL /10:00 DA MANHÃ/29/04/24), FOI A HORA QUE ASSISTI SEU VIDEO.
