    this is the first guy ive heard talk about the air that comes through your mouth and nose when you slurp noodles, and how it helps to accent and improve the taste experience. we all know that part of your tasting relies on your sense of smell. i realized this phenomenon when i was eating some noodles and broth i made some time between 2021 and 2022. I had made a broth that contained caramelized onions (like a ghetto french onion soup) and when i slurped the noodles up i could REALLY taste the onion, when i didnt it wasnt as intense.
    good on him for sharing that bit with everyone who watches, hopefully you are all enjoying your noodles and broth a lot more.
    happy slurpin~

      So true! The egg salad sandwiches at 7-11 are better than homemade! Of all the things I miss about Japan, food is at the top of the list, right next to the friends I made there.

      @@ev304 Just got back from Japan a week ago. I had the time of my life in Japan. I learned that I don't have to spend a lot just to enjoy Japan. There's a lot of things and places in Japan you can do for free, like Ueno Park that I got to see my first cherry blossom even while it's still winter. My partner who lives there told me that those kind of Sakura are special since they bloom in the winter. I also got to experience a festival in the same park and got to experience street foods and music there. It was a dream come true for me since Japan is in my bucket list, I will surely go back there again and do it again.

    I stopped watching last bake off season after the debacle of Mexican week. And Paul had been to Mexico before the show. I hope there was a research team along with him this time and that if they choose to feature some bakes from Japan they do it with respect. Usually it's matcha this, yuzu that. And they don't have the historical/cultural segments anymore which I still miss.

    I had no intention of watching the whole thing when i started I didnt realize how long it was but once I started I had to see the whole thing. I would like to see one more episode of the parts cut out. Im sure theres enough for a couple more hours. Theres too much to even comment on but the main thing is I watch tons and I mean tons of NHK world Japan (not the negative news) just everuthing thats all about the culture and people of japan and i love learning all the history straight from the mouths of those that were there or grew up with the family memories of their life. Fascinating really. I cant find a reason to not want to retire there even sooner could I afford it. What a beautful space of energy and beauty.

    1:11:55 they should probably explain the history how it is. Japan was deprived of any military capability after being defeated by the Allies in World War II and was forced to sign a surrender agreement presented by General Douglas MacArthur in 1945. They were considered so dangerous and deadly after WWII and what had happened with Korea they forbidded them from creating a full military. United States actually is in Japan to defend Japan from any possible attack because they are not allowed to have a big military. They only have 250k men roughly and because of the agreement, and USA actually provides the security for Japan.

      Tokyo has the most of any one city. France is first by country.

    I understand war. I understand reason behind the bomb, but hearing that very energetic woman's' story I can't help but think about how horrible that must have been. even if she claims to be too young to remember. That is tragic

      I agree completely. Listening to them talk about the bomb without mentioning Pearl Harbor made it seem like Hiroshima was an unprovoked attack. It was a war started by a crazy narcissistic evil man that had absolutely no reason to be fought in the first place.

    That red sea team is $64 per lb. It’s one of the more expensive fish!
