    Hannah's voice and accent gives me a feeling that most people claim they get with ASMR. Please make a video where you say "peanut butter" over and over again so I can fall asleep to it.

    Hey Hannah , I found your channel about a month ago while researching japan stuff for visit in June. Just wanted to say thanks for your videos, you’re great. This video reminded me of a story when I lived in Japan for a couple of years a while back. I was living with another American and while grocery shopping he bought something that he thought was breakfast cereal, kind looked like rice crispies. Well, it wasn’t. The next day he poured a big ramen size bowl of this “cereal “ dumped a bunch of milk on it and the milk just got visibly oily. Haha. Turns out it was some kind of meat breading, panko type stuff. The best part is he cut his loses and ate the whole bag!! Anyway, cheers. Keep up the hard work.

    • @CurrentlyHannah
      @CurrentlyHannah  6 лет назад

      hahahahahaha that's so great. What a legend for actually eating the rest of the stuff! It was most probably tempura flakes that have already been deep fried which would explain the oily mess. Delicious!

  • @MrKoolykdat
    @MrKoolykdat 6 лет назад

    I love your videos so much! Since you do travel videos, I was wondering if you could make a video specifically for what to prep before heading to Japan. I am studying abroad there in about a year, and I always find myself asking the same questions, “what should I do before? Should I change phone plans? Should I exchange my money before hand? Should I learn some “common” kanji?” Things like that. I would greatly appreciate it! Keep being amazing Hannah!

    @cheyenneshrader7172 6 лет назад

    I would absolutely love more videos like this! I live in Japan also but I feel totally clueless in the grocery store especially when it comes to finding healthier alternatives to things like brown rice and multigrain bread and all that jazz. But I also live in a rural area so that could be part of the problem too...

    • @CurrentlyHannah
      @CurrentlyHannah  6 лет назад +1

      Yeah it’s definitely a steep learning curve at the start! I’m hoping to have a few more of these kinds of videos out in the future so keep an eye out!

    @zedamex 6 лет назад

    Some people might not be keen on eating horse too. The Kanji for that is 馬
    But... I like basashi... 馬刺し which is horse version of sashimi (raw slices of fish)
    Not rare here at all, offered in many izakaya.
    There is also torisashi 鳥刺し. This is "raw" chicken (possibly flash boiled), or tori no tataki 鳥のたたき that had been seared for 10 seconds on the edges only. There are hundreds of English articles on how this is apparantly popular, new and trendy and straight out asking for food poisoning. But you never hear about it in Japan. Nor is it new or frequently eaten either.

    I had to learn かつお and だし very quickly when I was there... pretty much couldn't have miso at all, unless I could be bothered to make it myself with a dashi free paste and aaahhh, let's just say I ate A LOT of inari while in Japan.
    Also the combini staff knew me so well that every time I came in they rushed to get what apparently became my favourite ハッシュポテト ready. Sometimes I had to do laps until it was ready. Fun times

    Don't know how to miss that detail. I am sure the parents wondered of what's going on with their child in the end. All hyper and happy.
    Last time me being in Japan I enjoyed those little spicy cucumbers at… I think it was Lawson. They seem vegan as well, because it's just Chili, some sweeter spice and baby cucumbers. Daaawww...I miss them and I'll see them in March again.
    Always enjoy kinda rewatching and finding new good tips and tricks. Thanks, Hannah!

    I lived in Korea and I think I took for granted how much English is written on everything. They also have drinking yogurt near the milk but it is also labelled in English. I am dying to know, did you tell that dad? I feel like if that was me I would make that mistake but really appreciate someone letting me know. If it was me I would also have a good laugh about it after, but would love to not make the mistake again. Great video Hannah!

    • @CurrentlyHannah
      @CurrentlyHannah  6 лет назад +1

      Yeah thankfully there’s a lot more English on foods nowadays than when I first got here but it’s still a little difficult sometimes if you can’t read. And yeah don’t worry, we told the dad haha

    Peanut cream is delicious. This coming from a peanut butter fan, I believe it can coexist with peanut butter. As far as really good peanut butter, you'd have to go to CostCo and get Skippy. But the one from Gyomusupa is okay.
    They also sometimes serve whale in school lunches in Japan. That's a big reason why I haven't signed up for it as a teacher here.

    Hi Hannah, can you do a video on being vegan in Japan? I travelled to Tokyo and Niseko in early 2017 and as someone who has coeliac disease and is plant based, I found it very difficult to eat. I found myself opting for whatever food so long as it was gluten free. I am going back again in early 2019 and would love some tips and pointers. How do you ask to make sure it's vegan/allergen free? Thanks for your videos!

    Love this new vid! Hahaha! I had a friend who bought tons of different cans of chu-hi’s thinking they were sodas as well and her at that time 10 yr old son chugged half and then realized it tasted funny to him, his mom finally realized what it was when she closely looked to see the ALC and boom she was on guilty level 10 lol! Also I had known someone who mistaken tofu as butter and tried to microwave it to melt... no lie.. I couldn’t believe that one either but it’s true.
    Hahaha! Oh man I miss Japan!

    Oh you said something... sorry was looking at your mike in the button hole 😂. Just Joking (you brought it up). I had an aunt that came back from a visit to japan and she brought a couple of the “Non” alcoholic Ashi beers. Could of fooled me that they were nonalcoholic considering I felt a buzz after drinking them. Whale meat my aunt tried and says “no difference” in taste but just the texture felt weird (told her I would pass on it). Thanks for sharing and interesting to know. Since practically everyone in my family is lactose intolerant. We usually stay away from milk. Cheers

    As for the Whale, ミンク鯨 says Minke Whale. Not endangered and is clearly (well, clear if you can read) written on the right packet shown in this video (I'm on my phone and can't quite see the text on the left one)
    So, 鯨 is the Kanji for whale. The left half being 魚(sakana) meaning fish. 京 being capital or a really big number (10 quadrillion) and other less relevant meanings.
    You may also see 鯨肉. Pronounced either kujira niku or gei niku = whale meat

    "Peanut butter" = of course, that's just a peanut butter in other countries. but It's sugary sweet in Japan.

Now that milk would’ve got me. however, I do like yogurt and I don’t drink coffee I have mixed yogurt with cereal, I guess I could live with that mistake. You know, you are very perky do you come by that naturally or is it something you learned because of your job.

    I love all your vlogs and your relationship with Yoshie. He is my favorite horse in Super Mario. Lol. Just kidding. I think you and he are great people. Keep doing what you do. And dont be so PG-13. Speak your mind about the experiences you have. Thats what makes it interesting and entertaining and not so choreographed. Loved when you went hiking on an active volcano and found a piece of paper that happen to be your sponsor too. Wink,wink. Lol What are the odds?!!!!!
