One time I went to this new pretty expensive Chinese restaurant and they served us this sweet tea that that tasted like apple/green tea/mango. Idk what it's called but it was soooooo gooooddn
Everything about this is just beautiful. Rachel embracing Jun's culture and his family embracing her. Ugh I wanna cry. I want that!! God bless your marriage

Rachel makes the mochi look really tasty 😄 In the video I hear the Nagoyan accent. My wife is from Nagoya and her parents have a strong Nagoyan accent. This video makes me miss them.
Is it weird that I find it really cute the way you seamlessly move from speaking Japanese to English? I speak some languages but I can't "move" that way, it takes a little while for me to switch language (=
stan talent stan golden child Portuguese, japanese invaded my country and killed lots of my people in the past. so what? It's 2018 now. Please educate yourself
It really surprised me that I see my two favorite youtubers actually knows each other so many years back. I'm so happy I did some trip to old rachel and jun's videos
すごーい！いいなぁ♪ とってもおいしそう!! Being able to make homemade mochi is amazing especially because you can enjoy it in so many different ways :) That machine seemed so much fun! (i'm sure it requires good technique tho!) lol. Happy New Year~!!
I can really understand the people dying from chocking, it is soooo sticky~! I haven't had fresh made mochi, only from the pre-ground mochi flour. And I didn't know that you could eat it with flavours other than sweet. Interesting!
I seriously think I could watch rachel eat mochi all day lol her face is priceless Im sure Jun feels the same way lol its like watching a kid get a new fav toy lol
I love how Jun kind of turns into a little kid in this video. He must really love his family and he feels really comfortable around you Rachel, it's really cute.
Love the way you edited this video. The music in the background really adds a warm feeling to the whole scene. Nothing like my video from last year... How to make Japanese 餅 mochi / rice cake! 餅の作り方! I'll be adding a link to this video on that video though!
You two have a very sweet, understanding relationship. I love how you both help the other with native language and you are both willing to immerse yourself in the other's culture. I wish you a long and happy life together.
This channel attracts a lot of ppl from didn't parts of the world and people who speak many different languages bc of all the subtitles on every videos! Yay!
Oh btw I really want to learn Japanese in case I do get to visit Japan one day and simply because its such a beautiful language, do any of you guys know a good way how/where to learn it?
BlackWolfsspirit haha same here, the food always looks so delicious. And for learning Japanese you should check out tae kim's guide to learning japanese (free) and there's also human japanese but it cost money.
I love how relaxed this video is! It's really nice to see people just enjoying each others company and delicious food! I know this video is four years old, but, it still brings out a warm feeling.
You're so lucky to have family members that can make something so deliciously unique! I actually love supermarket mochi, I can't imagine how good it must be fresh!
Sakura mochi is my favorite kind of mochi. Sometimes I find it at my local asian market but they dont always carry it. They mostly have Chinese and Vietnamese things and very few Japanese items.
I want everything you are eating. My great grandma used to make mochi on new years. I miss her so much!!! This video definitely made me think of great child good memories. Thank you guys!
After viewing your video, I came to realize how much I miss its tradition and culture after living in the States for almost forty years. I truly appreciate your video clip.
people really have died choking on it?? O.O I'm guessing you'd have to eat mochi in small bites then. o3o but if it's better than i expected, i'm devouring it XD
+M Jack how can their stomach not handle it? it's RICE. if they ate if fresh and very hot, then that would be a reason they would be in hospital. but seriously. europeans can eat Asian food, just like asians can eat Western food, racist.
***** lol your brain is kind of pessimist, it's just not the regular Rice, everyone can eat the regular , the one we're talking here is a different rice. Idiot
I am addicted to these videos. Jun and Rachel have to be two of the most adorable individuals! Thanks for being awesome and uploading such interesting content :)
In the Netherlands, we have the tradition to make oliebollen on new year's eve. Those are balls made of a doughnut-like dough, but it's not as thick. It contains a lot of yeast which makes really big air sockets :) You deep fry those and eat them ^^
明けましておめでとうございます！ As a student who has been living in Japan for the past four months, I had the opportunity of seeing mochi being made the traditional way in Nara. It was a very entertaining thing to see. It was very well choreographed. I was amazed that no one got hurt because of the speed they were doing the hitting.
You guys have such a cute relationship! It's so great to watch you two! And thanks for making these kinds of videos. I'm Japanese and have been to Japan too, but I've never seen how to make fresh mochi before. It looks so good!!
The jealousy I have right now cannot be expressed in words. Lol I'm from North Carolina and moved to Georgia two years ago. The best part of the move was being able to experience more diverse farmers markets. But even so, I still can't find Kochi that looks as desirable as Jun's aunt and uncles. You guys suck, and I mean that in the most joyful, jealous way. Lol
Daifuku Mochi I think it's called -the one with the sweet red bean paste. It is my FAVORITE!:)) I Devour this kind easily. Tastes soooo good. I bet homemade daifuku Mochi is pure heaven
Hi i like your vid. I would like to know if it is rude to not sit on the floor? I'm asking more on the physical aspect of it. I am not use to it and when I have to ( for exemple in a park...) i cannot stay sit on my feet like you do here, i mobe quite a lot: on my feet, on the side, on the other side, my feet in front of me...
In college, one of my roommates was half Japanese. She went to visit her family about twice a year. Anyhow, one time she brought back with her fresh mochi. OMG so good. It was simply amazing. She had some just plain mochi, some mixed with green tea, and some with red beans. I liked the red beans the most. It was all made by one of her relatives while she visited them.
i wish i could eat the homemade mochi, also i want my bf and his familytried majarete because i did when i went to japan, they said it was sweet, usually japanese candies aren't that sweet but i want them to try the arroz con dulce ^^ im curious about their opinion ^^
omg that looks so gooddd !! I've tried mochi ice cream, and I love it, especially the mochi part, but I really want to try just plain mochi !! Omgeeee it seems like it would also be good dipped in soy sauce, or even teriyaki sauce. Im so sad though becausr I have no idea where to get it in the states near cali :(
+Kashifa Yasmine Meerah if you live in LA you can go to Japanese Plaza. or little tokyo in general and it should be there. i havnt looked for it. but i know they have mochi icecream and other mochi deserts, i havent seen normal mochi yet though since i havent actually looked for it
seriously, how many of you all still think that they made mochi with a hammer like they did a long time ago? I know I did XP and i guess you have to take small bites of mochi to avoid choking on them...especially for children huh?
They still use the hammer at shrines and on special occasions! :D Some Japanese families pound mochi themselves, too. But yeah, the machine is a lot easier. XD The people who choke on mochi are mostly really old people because they can't chew/salivate correctly. I'd say it has the texture of like, really sticky taffy, so children can probably handle it. But yeah, smaller bites is probably a good idea. ^^ -Rachel
what a cute family scene! i love how the kitchen is so clean they can cook on the floor. mochi is the most delicious thing! it is trendy in the us now to put ice cream in the center and freeze it. my kittens literally attack me to get a nibble!
Happy New Year's everyone!! :D We made mochi with Jun's uncle!
あけましておめでとうございます！
Junの伯父の家で餅を作りました。(๑ ^ ڡ ^ ๑)

:)
waaa~ you have a german sub..... nice *.*
One time I went to this new pretty expensive Chinese restaurant and they served us this sweet tea that that tasted like apple/green tea/mango. Idk what it's called but it was soooooo gooooddn
Happy new year to you, too, Rachel and Jun! I got hungry watching this!
Danshi Kokusei no Nichijou says to eat mochi carefully
this is my favorite slice of life anime
Awww, thank you, Dick scrotum!! :D
-Rachel
Im very confused
Um what
??
LMAO
Everything about this is just beautiful. Rachel embracing Jun's culture and his family embracing her. Ugh I wanna cry. I want that!! God bless your marriage
I've never seen a mochi machine!! That's awesome and I totally want one now!! haha
Sharla in Japan sameeee
I've never tried it, but I believe you can use a bread machine.
Sharla in Japan love your channel!!

Merci on vous adore ;)
Well now I want mochi
In the middle of the night
Right?? xD It's 5 a.m.!
You‘re not alone =^o^=
Same bro. Same
What a predicament 😂
Natalie Alfera me too
Jun seems so proud to tell all these things and see how much she enjoys it :)
It's great that jun's family excepted you as a member of the family

wooow can't belive you also have Croatian subtitles. I'm not the only Croatian watching this. Hugs from croatia😙
yugo?
Nisi jedini fan. :P

@Gypsy Rose I am yet another brother of Data, a discarded prototype, disguised as the commander.
I want a relationship like yours so badly!!!
+Anton Zuykov lol
+RaesAnimes
I don't think she'll share Jun with you, so you have to find your own, I'm afraid... :p
Haha, oh darn :p. Jun is really sexy to!
+RaesAnimes I just want all that mochi! lol
RaesAnimes I'm new to the channel so can I ask you are they married dating ?
oh wow I've never thought of savory mochi before. I always eat mochi as sweets, with ice cream or anko fillings, but never as a savory meal
Is it weird that I find it really cute the way you seamlessly move from speaking Japanese to English? I speak some languages but I can't "move" that way, it takes a little while for me to switch language (=
right at the start hahaha 'we can't see anything but here's a rachel' it's like jun's talking about pokemons!!
Jun sounds so distressed at the American soy sauce! Haha~
Asia Alexander ehhhh
Asia Alexander American soy sauce beats the meaning of soy sauce originating in Asia
@@emptyricebowl By saying American _______ (
@@lyn3325 could also be said or spelt as "Muri'ca"
Japanese people work really hard !! they deserve all the good things
hahhahah bias
I don't think it's biased. I'm English and I agree.
Yea I'm Indian and. I agree too
Such hard working folk ^^
stan talent stan golden child Portuguese, japanese invaded my country and killed lots of my people in the past. so what? It's 2018 now. Please educate yourself
Actually it is pretty biased because just like every other country/state they all work hard
Wow a Mochi-Maker! This looks so delicious. :D~ I love traditions!!
OMG NERDECFAFTER??!?!
Nice machine, although the traditional way with the kine (hammer) and the usu (bowl) looks like fun!
It really surprised me that I see my two favorite youtubers actually knows each other so many years back. I'm so happy I did some trip to old rachel and jun's videos
すごーい！いいなぁ♪ とってもおいしそう!!
Being able to make homemade mochi is amazing especially because you can enjoy it in so many different ways :) That machine seemed so much fun! (i'm sure it requires good technique tho!) lol. Happy New Year~!!
I love that about mochi! :D Jun once made me a mochi sandwich with kitkats in the middle... it was so incredibly amazing!
Happy New Year!!
-Rachel
Rachel & Jun You say " a mochi sandwich with kitkats " ? How does it look
like ? And taste good ?
I can really understand the people dying from chocking, it is soooo sticky~!
I haven't had fresh made mochi, only from the pre-ground mochi flour. And I didn't know that you could eat it with flavours other than sweet. Interesting!
Croatian fan here! I'm so happy you have croatian subtitles, great work!
This is an amazing cultural video. Thank you so much guys!.
あけましておめでとうございます。
時が経つにつれて日本人であっても伝統的なお正月を送る家は少なくなってきている気が致します。
ぜひとも日本の文化を楽しんで、そしてこれからも日本の文化を発信して下さい。
ラチェルさん、じゅんさんそしてすべての人が今年健康で、充実した一年でありますように。
あけましておめでとうございます！
そうですね。今でも日本の伝統的な風習などについては情報が見つけにくいです。後で、神社のビデオをupする予定ですが、その神社については詳しく知りません。日本の方に色々と教えて欲しいです。
-Rachel
Well this was an adorable experience.
I should really stop watching these videos at odd hours. I'm so hungry just watching this!! Yum!!
餅つきの動画も入れてほしいなと思ってたら、ちゃんと最後についてましたね。さすがっす。
rachel is so cute!!!!!! she´s enjoying the mochi so much!!! she really deserves the mochi she got to take home!
Thank you for showing this, it's the first time I've seen how real mochi are made apart from the traditional pounding method.
Happy New Year!!
RUclipsを始めて、ここを見付けました。いつも楽しく見ています。非常に真面目な解説をなさっていらっしゃることや、日本のことを好きでいらっしゃることに感動を覚えています。
あっ、お餅、昔は御祝いの時にしか食べられなかったんですよ。今は、いつでも簡単に食べることができるようになりましたけれど。
う～～ん つきたてのお餅、美味しいんですよねぇ～。：）
I hope you two will become successful on youtube!
It sucks seeing you two apart for work.
They really did become succesful
I seriously think I could watch rachel eat mochi all day lol her face is priceless Im sure Jun feels the same way lol its like watching a kid get a new fav toy lol
Now i want to be in japan 😭
Shai Shai same
Shai Shai it doesn't have to be in Japan
I love how Jun kind of turns into a little kid in this video. He must really love his family and he feels really comfortable around you Rachel, it's really cute.
Love the way you edited this video. The music in the background really adds a warm feeling to the whole scene. Nothing like my video from last year... How to make Japanese 餅 mochi / rice cake! 餅の作り方! I'll be adding a link to this video on that video though!
Yours is really cool!! That's not a perspective I was expecting to see! :D I added your link here, too!
-Rachel
臼の縁に着いてるのをつまんで食べるのが、これまた美味いんですよ。😋あぁ、つきたて、また食べたいなぁ。
美味しそう生唾出てきた
I love that even years into the future, you can feel the love and warmth these two have.
I want to go to Japan.. a lifelong dream. *-* Happy new year!
Happy New Year!! I hope you get to Japan soon! :D
-Rachel
Yay thanks!! :D
You two have a very sweet, understanding relationship. I love how you both help the other with native language and you are both willing to immerse yourself in the other's culture.
I wish you a long and happy life together.
Ohhhh, I'd love to have savory mochi, not the frozen dessert version here in the states! The mochi machine is great!
This channel attracts a lot of ppl from didn't parts of the world and people who speak many different languages bc of all the subtitles on every videos! Yay!
Man I wanna go to Japan JUST to taste all the food alone! There are so many other reasons to go as well...ah someday I will haha.
Oh btw I really want to learn Japanese in case I do get to visit Japan one day and simply because its such a beautiful language, do any of you guys know a good way how/where to learn it?
BlackWolfsspirit haha same here, the food always looks so delicious. And for learning Japanese you should check out tae kim's guide to learning japanese (free) and there's also human japanese but it cost money.
rachel you are so cute when eating yummy things and your husband is cool! thank you for making the videos that you do
I was looking for this one, for a long time and I finally found it.
Love how y'all have subtitles for so many different languages. Lots of love from the UK!
Your japanese sounds great! How are you learning so quickly?
Casandra Lopez by married a Japanese 😂
二人ともすっごく仲良しですね！見てて癒されますｗ

Oh my, he lifted it hot without any protection to his hands and it got stuck to his fingers! Ouch hope he didn't burn himself.
I love how relaxed this video is! It's really nice to see people just enjoying each others company and delicious food!
I know this video is four years old, but, it still brings out a warm feeling.
I WANT THAT MOCHI MACHINE!!!
You're so lucky to have family members that can make something so deliciously unique! I actually love supermarket mochi, I can't imagine how good it must be fresh!

After viewing your video, I came to realize how much I miss its tradition and culture after living in the States for almost forty years. I truly appreciate your video clip.
people really have died choking on it?? O.O I'm guessing you'd have to eat mochi in small bites then. o3o but if it's better than i expected, i'm devouring it XD
It's mostly old people who can't really produce saliva!
oh o3o. that scared me for a moment. it looks good so i was like oh man. imma choke?? thanks for clearing it up for me :)
European stomach can't it ,some of my friends end up in hospital cause of it. Not because of choking but because their stomach can't handle it
+M Jack how can their stomach not handle it? it's RICE. if they ate if fresh and very hot, then that would be a reason they would be in hospital. but seriously. europeans can eat Asian food, just like asians can eat Western food, racist.
***** lol your brain is kind of pessimist, it's just not the regular Rice, everyone can eat the regular , the one we're talking here is a different rice. Idiot
You're so obviously in love with each other here, what a heartwarming thing to watch!
Yumm!
Jun, please let your family know how much we appreciate their allowing us into their home to share a tradition with us!
YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE TOGEHTER
The subjects of your videos are always very interesting. Thank you guys!!
Mochi seems so delicious
Mochi machine. I've never heard about it. The way I known is beating using a pestle.
I am addicted to these videos. Jun and Rachel have to be two of the most adorable individuals! Thanks for being awesome and uploading such interesting content :)
In the Netherlands, we have the tradition to make oliebollen on new year's eve. Those are balls made of a doughnut-like dough, but it's not as thick. It contains a lot of yeast which makes really big air sockets :) You deep fry those and eat them ^^
Maartje de Jong I live in a town with a Dutch festival and the oilebolen are always eaten so quickly
明けましておめでとうございます！
As a student who has been living in Japan for the past four months, I had the opportunity of seeing mochi being made the traditional way in Nara. It was a very entertaining thing to see. It was very well choreographed. I was amazed that no one got hurt because of the speed they were doing the hitting.
Thank you guys for sharing these moments with us. It's funny, and sweet. I really appriciate it ^~^
This applies to all your videos! Thank you :P
I am so happy I understood the Japanese parts without subtitles 😭😭
お～ ストーブ(旧式の)w 我が家も停電に備え今年一台買いましたが、これが思いのほか◎でして、「音がしない(モーターや風の音)」「メラメラ・チリチリ‥と焼ける音」「中心部の赤い色」などの効果で実際より暖かく感じます。そして「加湿器にもなるしお餅も焼ける」という具合で、昔のストーブには利点が多いと改めて気付きました。石油ファンヒーターも良いですが(立ち上がり早いしタイマー付いてるし)、長時間いる居間等にはコレ(旧式ストーブ)お薦めです。※エアコンが一番スースーしますね、風ばかりで (+o+)ｻﾑｲ‥
あけましておめでとうございます。
私の好きな、きなこ餅が出てこなかったので、
頂いたお餅できなこ餅を貰いたいです。
今年も動画制作頑張ってください！
The only way I can describe what it looks like is a giant rice marshmallow.😋
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed watching this.
ありがとうございま!
Never tried mochi but now I want to try it really bad!!! :(
yall are so cute and jun has a really chill personality it seems!
i am drooling all over .....
You guys have such a cute relationship! It's so great to watch you two! And thanks for making these kinds of videos. I'm Japanese and have been to Japan too, but I've never seen how to make fresh mochi before. It looks so good!!
Yummy Mochi! :) I would love to eat Mochi, and daifuku, and dango too, served with green tea mhhmm!
Dunno what's the sweetest. This mochi or Rachel giving spontaneously half to Jun :p
The jealousy I have right now cannot be expressed in words. Lol I'm from North Carolina and moved to Georgia two years ago. The best part of the move was being able to experience more diverse farmers markets. But even so, I still can't find Kochi that looks as desirable as Jun's aunt and uncles. You guys suck, and I mean that in the most joyful, jealous way. Lol
The beauty of simple pleasures and beauty of food. Jun had incredible teachers. No wonder his new channel is so successful!
I love mochi. ^_^ so nom nom. but dessert mochi is my favorite. with red bean paste.
Daifuku Mochi I think it's called -the one with the sweet red bean paste. It is my FAVORITE!:)) I Devour this kind easily. Tastes soooo good. I bet homemade daifuku Mochi is pure heaven
i had the ones with green tea and i still don't know if I liked them or not
AWESOME VIDEO RACHEL AND JUN.
WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY
This video made me so hungry... ;-;
日本のお正月が恋しくなりました〜笑
お餅食べたい。。。
this video made me think of Tamako market :D
I grew up eating mochi all my life, but last year I choked on some and it freaked me out and haven't eaten it since.
実家の餅つきを思い出して心が暖かくなりました(*^_^*)
餅が食べたいです。
COUNTRY MA'AM もう春ですが、冬のつき立てのお餅が恋しいです。ご視聴、ありがとうございました！^^
Hmmm can someone plz translate what they said!?
O Berzhansky copy past then
You're both super cute I can't wait to watch more videos from you guys thank you for sharing this awesome Japanese tradition!
Sooooo Where can I buy one of those mochi makers??!?!?
It's in every Asian's household, it's called the rice cooker
I think he's talking about the device that pounds the rice for you, unless that function is built into the rice cooker?
thats not a normal rice cooker, so no its not in every asian's home.
Yep I was talking about the device that pounds the rice, that is very much not a normal rice cooker ;)
Brian Honnigford I normally buy my slaves online
Rachel is an amazing women! I wish I had learned 2 languages as a kid!
Looks like your truly enjoying your life together!
I saw this cartoon clip where a RAMDOM stranger comes and shoves mochi down people's throats and I was l like I'm hungry now
Terry Crew 😂
つきたてのお餅はその時にしか食べられないから贅沢ですよねぇ
Hi i like your vid. I would like to know if it is rude to not sit on the floor? I'm asking more on the physical aspect of it. I am not use to it and when I have to ( for exemple in a park...) i cannot stay sit on my feet like you do here, i mobe quite a lot: on my feet, on the side, on the other side, my feet in front of me...
In college, one of my roommates was half Japanese. She went to visit her family about twice a year. Anyhow, one time she brought back with her fresh mochi. OMG so good. It was simply amazing. She had some just plain mochi, some mixed with green tea, and some with red beans. I liked the red beans the most. It was all made by one of her relatives while she visited them.
i love his voice 😅😅😂😍😍😍😍😍 this looks sooo good and i want some 😭😀😁😁 love your vidros tho I'm new Subscriber fan 🌷🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
If I came here I would die choking on mochi because it looks so delicious
Uldren Sov
No uldren, be careful
I would like to compare it with the "arroz con dulce" (sweet rice) we make in Puerto Rico.
i wish i could eat the homemade mochi, also i want my bf and his familytried majarete because i did when i went to japan, they said it was sweet, usually japanese candies aren't that sweet but i want them to try the arroz con dulce ^^ im curious about their opinion ^^
Thank you both so much for letting us learn about your culture. I love to find out new things about new places.
omg that looks so gooddd !! I've tried mochi ice cream, and I love it, especially the mochi part, but I really want to try just plain mochi !! Omgeeee it seems like it would also be good dipped in soy sauce, or even teriyaki sauce. Im so sad though becausr I have no idea where to get it in the states near cali :(
*in Cali
+Kashifa Yasmine Meerah if you live in LA you can go to Japanese Plaza. or little tokyo in general and it should be there. i havnt looked for it. but i know they have mochi icecream and other mochi deserts, i havent seen normal mochi yet though since i havent actually looked for it
Hearing his soft voice and the calm music really relaxed me am i the only one?
seriously, how many of you all still think that they made mochi with a hammer like they did a long time ago? I know I did XP and i guess you have to take small bites of mochi to avoid choking on them...especially for children huh?
