"chopsticks make you slow down substantially and eat less"
yeah sure, if you SUCK at using them
I kinda do, so it works for me😂
I used to eat sushi with fork/spoon, I thought I learned how to eat with chopsticks recently after many years of trying but apparently my grip was wrong but at least I could pick them up.
Still fun as how fast you can do munching things with chopsticks if actually doing it right by approaching plate to your mouth and just actually dropping everything into yourself directly from a plate just with help of chopsticks.
That’s a typical misunderstanding, chop sticks are a fierce tool during table times for ordinary Chinese ok? Can you imagine chop a bunch of hot/boiling noodles while spoons cannot?
@@johnsoncao3114 that's why there's fork for noodles

Green Tea is really good for health. George: "Every time I go to Starbucks I order Green Tea Frappuccino" lol
Do they still have those? They're not on the regular menu anymore. If you ask for one, can they make it? Asking for a friend.
There's so much sugar in those things >.< I really wish they had a sugar free version, sweetened with splenda 😩
@@Yaunie13 You and me both.
@@swirlingabyss Yes! Jsyk, Starbucks doesn't put all available items on the menu, only specific featured ones. If you have a fave Starbucks treat you can absolutely ask your barista if they still have it. Sometimes, even if Starbucks has officially discontinued an item, it can still be made because all the ingredients are still on hand. For example, the Iced Cinnamon Almondmilk Macchiato was discontinued but you can still get it if you order an Iced Caramel Macchiato with almondmilk, substitute cinnamon dolce for vanilla, and add cinnamon dolce topping.
Haha, I usually try not to talk too much about Starbucks on my accounts but I also really love my job and love helping people understand how it works. ❤
Not allowed green tea at the moment, currently 28 weeks pregnant and only just found out it does still include around 30-50mg of caffeine...

Japanese soy sauce typically uses lower sodium than Chinese soy sauce.
@@hashiramasenju6058 Ah that makes sense
@@hashiramasenju6058 even if it’s a little lower, 1 tbsp of traditional soy sauce has about 40% of your daily sodium. If it’s 25% less sodium that’s still 30% of your daily sodium intake in a couple dips

Sugar has much more impact on weight gain than salt though.

I love how i can already see your opinions by the " mm" "Mmmhmh!" or " m-mm? " xD
Septimor I noticed that too 😁
A lot of language can be understood by the tone, so it's pretty natural. For example: "I'm dead?" and "I'm dead!" is the exact same sentence but you can say the sentence in a tone that makes it sound like a question or as an exclamation.
This is a linguistic phenomena called back channel feedback (called aizuchi in Japanese) and it’s kind of like filler language to show attention. English equivalencies might be saying things such as “Oh I see” or “Right, right”
Learning proper back channel feedback is a great way to sound more fluent in a target language :)
Yeah i knoe i use it myself pretty much all the time
I used to work for a Japanese company and they can literally hold a whole conversation like that :D
"Everything is within walking distance, if you have time." - Steven Wright
Dude! Yes! I walk every single day. It's the only way I can use my phone without my parents attacking me. Don't tell them. I literally go for two hour walks just to watch RUclips videos. Very strange.
@@elizabethkierere5806 so u actualy walk, instead of going just outside and sit somewhere on a bench?
Excuse me while I walk 100km to the closest city
@@markmuster9277 lol yea i found it so strange because i also walk 1-2 hrs everyday and im actually trying my best to stay alert while outside to avoid accidents. If youtube is on i'm just listening, not watching. But it's usually just music to keep me going.
Also put God first in a life then a person always has time.
it's so wholesome to see that George is still liking comments that have appeared a week ago, even though his video was posted last year
I know! He's awesome!! It's rare to find a RUclipsr that actually cares enough to like and respond to his fans.
Drinking game: take a shot whenever they show sushi being dipped in soy sauce.
Only like twice
@@applepigz_8015 then we will take a shot when they show sushi instead and to make it fair also when they show a burger. 🙃
Or when they say "come meal time"
🤣🤣🤣 I got sick of that clip
I swear to drunk officer I'm not god.
I love how 99% of the Japanese food they show is sushi xD
Like....do they think that's all what Japanese eat?
Onigiri, udon, ramen, etc could have been shown more.
Western style food is also quite popular in Japan by now.
sushi is not that low kcal. also there's awesome unagi-don, which is also not that low kcal. i'd imagine that portion size is key. just like if you eat a slice a pizza vs the whole pizza pie.
And the only food Americans eat is burger and fries, and sometimes hot dogs apparently
@@apelsinuke Rice has lots of carbs. But I still think that that is healthier than grease.
Sashimi is pretty low carb, unless you only use really fatty pieces.
So I'm an overweight American. I have always been so. But in preparation for going to Japan a few years ago, I went on a diet and practiced walking a lot (Something I highly recommend to anyone visiting Japan from a car culture country). I lost fifty pounds (22.68Kg) before going to Japan. I was in Japan for 3 weeks. While there I ate and drank whatever I wanted to and probably had too much of both more than once with my new found friends. However, when I got back home I checked the scales expecting to have gained weight back, but I had actually lost another 25 lbs (11.34 kg). So I think it is definitely the lifestyle and all the walking around. More evidence why I need to move to Japan for a little while. Lol I love these videos they are so much fun. They reminde me of my Japanese teachers in college going over some of this stuff and some other presumptions about Japan.
Honestly I can relate. My friends and I spent 3 weeks in Japan on a trip and we basically ate like 3-4 meals a day plus snacks whenever we saw something tasty. I thought we were going to have to be rolled home to be honest lol. But during the middle of the trip we actually got really confused after doing laundry, we thought we did laundry wrong because our pants were all on the loose side and I almost had to buy a belt for a pair of pants that had never been loose on me ever. After some extreme confusion we realized that everyone collectively lost weight even when eating visibly more than normal. This is due to Japan's walking culture and EXTREME number of stairs; I cannot over emphasis the number of stairs.
@@xinlight I mean that and healthier food
you were eating more in japan but the food was more nutritious, plus you walked a lot more to burn off the excess calories so you lost weight.
@@Scalam1 sometimes healthier sometimes not. I mean all the alcohol and snack foods (like several different kit kat and Starbucks flavors) not so much. Lol
@@holkn more or less. Not all the food was "healthy or nutritious" like the drinks and snacks. But overall that was the general effect.
“Treat food as an experience, remove distractions”
Me: eating while watching this
This for some reason makes me wanna learn Japanese, study the culture and history, then move there and live there for the rest of my life.
Seriously, same
Me too
So basically “they make better food choices”, are educated about nutrition and walk more
they also have better and cheaper food choices around them so that also helps a lot
@@saltedfish2192 Food is much cheaper in the US. Especially fruits.
@@djinn666 oh really ? I lived in Virginia, US for one year and I find the food pretty expensive compared to where I live in France
@@saltedfish2192 One anecdote does not mean anything. Also I was talking about Japan. Regardless, statistics says Americans spend less than half as much on food as either the Japanese or the French: ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-consumer-expenditure-spent-on-food?time=2016
@@saltedfish2192 yup, individual food ingredients are quite expensive when compared to the US and UK.
"Using chopsticks makes you eat more slowly" clearly, this is not someone who has seen a table full of hungry teenagers and good food
It is also clearly a statement that can only be made by someone who do not use chopsticks regularly and/or had a hard time learning or using chopsticks.
@@SablePhantom Yeah, I second that. I'm not Japanese but I learned to eat with chopsticks and I can really wolf food down including with chopsticks, Dubious science...
Provided your food is already in bite sized pieces, which is my experience with Asian foods in general, it is much easier to eat with chopsticks. The fork and knife set-up is better when you have to cut the food to size yourself.
@@SablePhantom as someone who has learned to use while not definitely well but at least functionally a pair of chopsticks, I can confirm that eating with those isn't really any slower than eating with a fork
@@adde9506 not necessarily, you can just lift it and bite it, which is faster than cutting it with a knife
I feel calm just watching this guy talking.
I wish the US had sidewalks on all roads within 3 miles of every school, so parents and kids could walk safely without walking in a ditch or in the busy streets. It would save on fuel as well.
Most schools its illegal to walk to school or ride a bike now. You have to take the bus or be driven. It's so wierd from my perspective because we always rode our bikes or skateboarder to school.
It's so Asian that you go "mhmmm" and "hmmm". My friends pointed out that I tend to do that when someone is talking to me because it's considered an indication that you're listening.
OriLOK2 _ now that u mention it, many languages in East Asia tend to answer questions with a “hm” and “m” for a yes
@@JupiterIsAlone i think it's common in other countries too though, i'm from central europe and we do that all the time as well (to show we're listening, while thinking, to say yes&no, showing if something is yummy/disgusting etc) :)
For me as a Hungarian that's so weird. It would be considered an interruption here.
@@IzzysTravelDiaries yeah some people I've talked to find it irritating so I watch my habits when I'm dealing with people from different cultures
fascinating observation! I cant speak for everyone but I think here in the United States that would be considered a distraction and could ironically make you appear to be mocking or pretending to pay attention

"When i speak English i feel like I'm George....please dont ask me why" love it! Lol
There's one small point I want to mention respectfully - when you speak English, always put your first name first. When you speak Japanese, always put your surname first.
It's rule of the language, which the author of this video seemed to have forgotten when introducing himself by his Japanese name, despite being a teacher of English language. I'm not complaining, just trying to be useful. In Japan, people tend to never correct my Japanese and I am happy when someone does - it's helpful to get corrected, otherwise it's difficult to not repeat same mistakes.
@@apelsinuke When introducing his Japanese name he used the Japanese format because that is the proper format of a Japanese name. Even in international sports (gymnastics, figure skating etc) Japanese and even Chinese athletes are always listed by the surnames first; up-to-and-including at the Olympics. So politely, he was not incorrect at all.
He can't breathe? 🤔
In East Asian cultures, we use surname fist, because you're already representing your lineage whenever you are introducing yourself. Hence you'll see name formatting as "(surname) (given name)".
Arabic culture may be similar in this mindset I believe.
Perhaps he genuinely forgot to even mention the differences in names, but this video is focused on the diet piece, not the other aspect of Japanese culture. Just saying...
@@tweewinNot really,
In Arabic culture when we introduce ourselves we just go by first name but in formal cases we go by first name then surname!

Edit: stop assuming that I’m american/eats american food cause I’m asian, thanks.
American foods have a lot of additives to create addictive mouthfeel and empty calories that don't truly satisfy. We want to constantly eat because we aren't getting what we should from food
@@therealstewyward opioid peptides in cheese
If your food isn’t full of healthy living energy then your will feel empty or malnourished no matter how much you eat. American food is notoriously dead. Overprocessed and/or grown from chemical agriculture
Eat food. Not cardboard.
“Oh I’m George, ...and please don’t ask me why.” Lol
I felt this lmao cause when I speak Japanese I feel like my name is "Kin" which is weird af but I can't use my "real" name cause it feels wrong so... yeah lol he's George
Not surprising. As bilingual (speaks Mandarin and English so I have Chinese and English names) when you have 2 names it feels natural to use one name in one language and the other name in the other language. I am not going to introduce myself using Chinese name in English because I already have a perfectly fine and legal English name for use... and vice versa for when introducing myself in Mandarin.
@@SablePhantom but in your case I understand you have two legal names you switch depending on the language you're speaking, right? In my case, and I understand it's all George's case, we made up a name to fit the language we're speaking. I'm hispanic and have a hispanic name, however in English I used to introduce myself as Charlie and in Japanese I'm Kin. It's a weird thing. And I also build kind of a personality around that name, it's not a completely different person but it's a version of myself more "targeted" to the culture I'll be interacting with.
I don't know, I'm guessing it's a normal thing but it's weird when you think about it.
@@kkinosvt Yes I get it. I also know some Japanese. I had a conversation with my Japanese class TA back in college about it before (she's Japanese exchange student who stayed abroad and took the offer to being TA to Japanese language classes)... like what are the pros and cons of using my Chinese name vs English name to introduce myself in Japanese lol
Oof
"and I just realized they use chinese music on this"
yep, it's kinda weird
It's kind of interesting. So far I've traveled to Japan for vacation two times, for three weeks each. And although I can honestly say, I eat plenty every day, at the end of the vacation I arrived at home always lost 3 to 4 kilograms on the scale. Because a) the food itself and b) we really walked a lot. At least 6 to 7 kilometers on an easy going days, sometimes up to 30 kilometers (when we were hiking)
I lived their 6 months and put on weight haha I went back and at food it was so greasy (ramen, tempura,.. ) I lost pounds because of bad digestion haha
I was in Japan for 2 months in highschool and I definitely lost weight too. I was eating ice cream nearly every day for a month, drinking soda constantly the second month, and snacks often and I Still lost weight because the meals had variety, were consistent, and I was getting a lot of walking in.
LMFAO THEY USED CHINESE MUSIC FOR THE BACKGROUND. wtf
George on half of these: "Yes, this is true, but also we do the opposite."
His face discovering his own culture XDDDDDDD
From Belgium here. People here eat at regular times, 3 meals a day. Most people cook at home and fresh vegetables are the norm. Snacking really depends on the person, some eat none to one snack a day, others eat 2-4 snacks. Eating here is also is 'an experience', people sit at a dinner table together with family or friends; For most this is a moment of quality time.
Most kids go to school on foot, with a bike or using public transport. Adults tend to use the car for work way more, but public transport and bikes are used. On that note, we can get to most places using public transport. There are busses all over the country, a great train system and in the bigger cities and the coast we have trams, although outside the big cities the busses tend to be late... always.
I actually love that Japanese people have a lot of small portions and that you can try a little bit from everything... I absolutely prefer this over large portions of one food...
i love how some of his arguments are just "look at Luffy" or "look at Naruto" XD
He didn`t mention Gintoki with his insatiable sweet tooth if we talk about umm food freaks or how to call them :) But then again maybe those 2 are in a different league :)
Well, Luffy is stretchy and that takes a lot of energy. Naruto has to eat for himself and all those clones he can split into. Makes sense to me that they are big eaters. 😺

Why it reminds me kind of umaru-chan
I think he is called Raito in Romaji . I dunno , I am not good in Japanese.
Sorry for the careless mistake
SMH.
When I was little in the late 70's we use to have set meal times here in the US. Seemed to change starting in the mid 80's. Before the mid 80's everyone was also thin in the US. The times were actually the same also. 6-8am, 12-1pm, and 6-8pm. The biggest thing in the US is High Fructose Corn Syrup is in almost everything, which was introduced into our food in the early 80's. It takes 72 hours for HFCS to be expelled out of your system. Regular sugar takes 12-24 hours.
The thing about tea in Japan... There are so many varieties. Sogenbicha, mugicha, sencha, hojicha, etc, etc... but the most important factor is that none of them have added sugar. And in general there is less added sugars to most things. Chocolates have less sugar. Everything has less sugar. So it is easier to have a low sugar diet in Japan. My only concern with Japan is the recent trend of having Budo To - grape sugar. It is not actually grape sugar - it is HFCS. It is called grape sugar because the molecules have a grape bunch shape. So check your ingredients for ブドウ糖... it is the very sweet and unhealthy High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).
"why Nato is good for health... according to science"... I think this was the most gentle sarcasm I have ever heard 😂
Man, could they use that sushi sequence any more?!? 🤦♀️
I was tempted to count the scenes xD
Make it seems that they eat sushi everyday! lol

I love your commentary on various subjects. Thank you.
George has the best personality and sense of humor!!! I need a friend like George!!!
I have watched this video and decided I love this guy. He's comedic, serious, calm and collected. Overall his videos are very entertaining.
"and also Luffy from One piece he eats a lot" this line killed me
I do remember walking a lot more when I was living in Japan...back to the US we just drive everywhere, no bueno. But yeah ramen places always have add-on options which people can order extra noodles, cha siu, and eggs to their ramen so there isn't much portion control when you decide to pile on the goodies. Also there is metabo law which limit people's waistline from getting too big per international guideline or they would face financial consequences by breaking the law. I think that has a lot more to do with dictating what kind of food and how much food Japanese people are consuming.
It’s so admirable that you learned English. I’m learning Japanese and it’s a lot of work so props to u for learning English. Also I love your videos, you seem like such a cool guy! ❤️

Wow! thank you for your video reaction. I learned new information again about Japan. More power!
1st vid I've watched from your YT channel, due to YT recommendations! Keep up the great content! Hope to see more as I've subed to your channel awaiting more informational content about Japanese culture!
Lol! "This says it is based on science but it didn't show any science." So true!!
to be honest - having lived there for 8 years the main reason many japanese are thin is because they are so active...students often do club activities and there are several sporting events and competitions... i found that some clubs such as photography etc still did some form of physical exercise to maintain fitness. Plus a lot of japanese people walk or ride bikes - much more than western countries.
The school size portions of food i think are quite small ...but the restaurant portions are about the same as youd expect in europe but compared to usa they have a much larger size
Having said this - i still saw a lot of slightly overweight people - especially those who had left school and didnt go to college or uni...
But i also notice a lot of guys still kept up their fitness due to being used to it from school
As for george - clearly he takes good care of his health and is hot :-D
Restaurant portion sizes are actually a lot bigger than what we get here in Romania, about twice! I knew Japan was famous for small portions so I was baffled by how much food I got for my money at restaurants.
U.S portion sizes are huge! I just hope a lot of people don't assume they have to eat all the food they're served at a restaurant. I certainly don't! Usually I'd just request a to-go box and have it for lunch the following day.
So if I'm understanding you correctly... if you take care of your health, you'll become hot like George. :D
I went to Japan last year, and i had a relatively active job washing cars then. when I went to Japan i ended up with shin splints by the third day with all of the walking i ended up doing!
@@ancalyme yeah! Japan portion sizes was pretty large for me. I mean it's not like wayyy too big, but.... yea. Maybe here in my country portion sizes are just so tiny. Idk
Love the sarcasm and humor. Keep it up George!
Absolutely love your videos!! I’m glad I found you😊

I love the comment at 1:15 . After English, I speak, in descending order (that is, least-incompetent first): Latin, Spanish, French, Japanese, with bits of Koine Greek and German and Hebrew some cooking/food-related Chinese. When you switch into another language, it's almost like you get another personality to drive, for a while, and your mannerisms and various aspects of your psychology subtly change. I suspect it's the part of the brain that breaks in cases of pathology like Multiple Personality Disorder, but it feels like an ordered version of that.
TLDR: I totally get what you mean when you say that you FEEL like "I am George", when you switch into the whole psychological Gundam-Suit that is your second language.
Latin is a.dead language
your explanation is very good to understand, keep up the good work!

Omg, I love how he speaks clearly. He speaks soo clearly. Plus, I love Japan!
And also, in my opinion, the reason why natto is super healthy is because it contains vitamin K2 (a vitamin that benefits and improves your bone health and prevents you from fractures and that it overall increases and promotes bone strength, leading to stronger bones to prevent you from fractures)
It's good for your bones overall, that's why it's healthy, in my opinion. It can strengthen your bones and prevent you from fractures and yet keep your bones healthy and help them grow)
Overall, yes, natto is healthy! A key for stronger bones and to prevent you from fractures. The more you eat it, your bones become stronger and healthier.
It strengthens bones and prevents fractures ^^
Vitamin K2 in general, is overall meant for good bone health 😊
Greetings from the USA :) The food helps strengthen bones and prevents fractures😌
That's why it's nutritious, in my opinion. Of course!! :) May strengthen bones. Food is super healthy. Best sources of vitamin K2. Stronger bones especially.

I like your humour/sarcasm: " Maybe i should make another video why Natto is good for you ... according to science." 🤣😅
"Potato chipusu, it's a potato chips."
😇🌻💗🔥
lol I had to replay that part. I love the way he says it.
Loved hearing George say that too! 😄
I can’t believe I just found this!
George you make great videos! Also I’m American and I want to go to Japan someday! I’m also glad that you speak English!
I thought you'd be used to everything there. So I was really surprised by your reaction at the public transportation part and how you said the Japanese public transport system is amazing 😂
Video: *some claim*
George: Yes... but actually no.
Enjoying the little ‘mm mhmm’ when you’re watching the video
Boingo and hol horse style
hahaha great man. Funny comment. I love his vibes, the music fits to his style of videos )
Mmmmm.
I haven't been to Japan since the late 70s, so I don't remember exactly but there was a snack that I think was dried eels. I could not read Japanese and the Japanese folk in the little bar didn't know the English for it. It looked sort of like stick pretzels, only each stick had eyes. Good with beer.
Much later I worked with a guy who decided that he wanted to lose weight and started eating strictly with chopsticks. It did not work, he just got much better with chopsticks.
Your videos are really insightful and you have a lot of charm!
“Also Luffy from One Piece eats a lot.”
Me: yeah but he kinda has battles every single day so he burns a lot of calories XD
Your pfp is really cute
@@meisdead3 awwww thanks 😊 a friend of mine made me it when I first got into the anime Hetalia. It’s Japan from that series in chibi art
Eh, the battles might influence it, but I think it's more that he just has a bottomless stomach. I mean seriously, he ate what was supposed to last 8 people... uh, 8 days I think is what Sanji said... in one night. (Am watching One Piece, they're currently crossing the Alabasta desert)
I mean his stomach is made of rubber
@@Yachii lol tru 😂
I want to see a video on "Why George is So Handsome According to Science" pls
same
LOL
I love his face expressions and reactions,they're so funny and adorable.
"potato chipsu is potato chips" he is so cute xD
Man literally admitted he doesnt do anything of this and he is still so thin
Needs to put on some muscle lmao
He does, he just don't understand how different it is in the USA.
I'm Italian and when I've lived in the US, I thought we weren't that different at the beginning.
Then I saw that our big portions aren't even half portions over there; that people can't literally walk anywhere over there and you are forced to use a car; that most jobs force you to have weird schedules and restaurants are always open (which I had not idea it could happen); that the work time is so overwhelming that cooking at home it's really difficult and if you want a healthy meal, your choice is very limited; that in school kids don't have healthy choices to eat and don't have healthy foods classes, which made me so mad; that snacks are too available and too full of processed food and absolutely everywhere and in too many shapes and flavours.
@@federicanardi7227 dont remind me. I need a car to get anywhere.
@@LilyUnicorn I know!! It's so unfair and inconvenient! Also I like to walk, but it's really too dangerous almost everywhere because the speed limits are too high and everything is so distant! And there are very very few sidewalks.
@@federicanardi7227 In US schools, pizza is LEGALLY classified as a vegetable. Let that sink in.
Best George personal Recommend Japanese Food
3) Unaju -2000 to 5000yen/20 or 50$
2) Tonkatsu or Gyukatsu(oh my God)
1) Natto - 80yen
I have tried Natto once but I didn't like it. I probaly should try in a decade again.
I like all here except natto.
@@LoyaFrostwind I have never tried natto before...how does it taste like? i mean the texture i can somewhat guess i suppose?
@@user-dd8we9kv2l it's hard to describe really.
Yeah no, it's really hard to describe, sorry. It's more of a texture experience rather than taste though, since natto itself has a fairly mild, slightly nutty taste. Very neutral. Texture wise it's a bit gooey/slimy with the soybeans adding a bit of chunkiness so I'm guessing that combined with the fermented smell is what turns most people off of it. Though you can control the gooeyiness by how much you stir it before eating - the more you stir, the gooeyier it becomes. If you are bothered by the smell you can also add a bit of sesame oil or soy sauce before stirring.
@@user-dd8we9kv2l , it's kind of bland, I think. But it has the consistency of snot. I just couldn't get over that. Yuck. I've only had it once. Some people love it. In other videos, I've seen that some natto come with mustard packs for flavoring.
Them : How Japanese r thin
Me : *DEM GENES*
It’s mostly environment not genes.
@@josie3221 its a joke chill
😁😁
Idk, it might also be genes.
Once I managed to visit Japan. I ordered a regular sized bowl of ramen and only managed to eat half of it because I feel too full already.
Meanwhile, a thin Japanese woman sitting besides me eat a whole bowl by herself.

Glad to know that you studied English in my country. Kudos to you. You did very well. I have taught some Japanese students who visited Toronto and felt like they were too intimidated to participate in active conversations. When asked, they used to shy away. You, on the other hand have definitely bypassed that and went over and beyond.
👌👌👌
Loved the name explanation Part lol the black t shirt idea is pretty cool. something I'm definitely Gonna keep in mind.
I've been to Japan twice and OMG the food, it's soooo good. I wish I could live there for the food alone!
Where are you from.......
I am jealous of you 😩
I always wanted to visit Japan. But these stupid studies, I don't know when I will get rid of those classes and visit there
That video you watched was so cliche 😂, I can’t cope with how many pictures of sushi they put in the video as if that’s what you guys eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I am enjoying your humming when you react.
I hope to visit Japan in the near future.
This channel makes me happy, thank you 🙏
Before I moved in with my boyfriend, I ate on a pretty strict schedule, just because that's how I liked to eat. And it makes a *BIG* difference now that I don't have dinner at the same time every day. It messes with my digestion and sleep. I'm hoping in the new year to make our dinner times more regular.
When you started talking about how you order a green tea frappuccino at Starbucks me and my mom started cracking up 😂 I work at Starbucks here in the US, and the first ingredient in our matacha powder is sugar, tea is the second ingredient. Nothing healthy about that 😂
DinosourousRexx yeah he pointed it out :)
I know natto has gotten mixed reviews (especially from non-Japanese people) but if I was in Japan I'd give it a try if someone offered it . I'm generally willing to try most fermented foods, though I havent found one I absolutely love yet. I have an "I'll tolerate it" relationship with fermented foods I don't hate.
I visited Japan in 2019 and I don't eat seafood so I defaulted to a lot of noodle dishes. And I did discover the amazing food to go selections in convenience stores lol. I don't think I'd stay thin in Japan long term XD
"I am George, please don't ask me why."
I love that 😂
