Welcome to my vlog channel. This time I made tempura soba & nori tempura and asked my wife to judge. Use code "YOSHIZUKI" to get $5 off your first Sakuraco box team.sakura.co/junyoshizuki-SC2312 and experience Japan from the comfort of your own home!
Never thought ill see Rachel learning from their cats and begging for food like them 😂😂😂 She even puts her head on the table and hand paw tab like them is so cute
People need to keep in mind that he is comparing his food to artisans that did nothing else but to cultivate the taste of this one product their entire life, so a 5/10 is probably the highest someone could reach first try
We call them green beans in English. Which isn't an especially useful term for differentiating them from beans you eat individually, but it is what it is. Great video :)
For some reason I feel like string beans is a bit more popular in America, the main place I hear them called that is on videos, tv, etc. Also apparently most beans these days don't have strings any more... And I almost never hear French beans, I wonder if that's also semi regional. I'm sure the french don't call them french beans, hehe.
Yes, string beans is what I usually see in the Northeast. Rather than French beans, I may see "haricots verde" instead, which just seems like green beans in French...
4:27 those are usually called green beans! Oddly exact naming lol. Sometimes they’re also called string beans or snap beans, although those are technically different plants
I really like these videos where you makes something from the Sakura box and compare. It makes the add fun and also shows how incredible talented the snacks makers of Japan are. When someone with Jun's cooking skillz, still have some way to go before reaching the masters of the craft it highlights the quality of the products in that box.
i have been watching you and rachel since 2015, and its heartwarming how far you've both come. i still watch old videos, such a comfort channel for me and hundreds of people who watch you guys, a very happy new year💞
A happy new year to you and Rachel and the kitties as well. I am grateful for all your content you shared with us in 2023! May your 2024 be a good year, i am looking forward to what you have planned for us 🫶🏻
The soba looks delicious, and I love how honest Rachel is every time! Happy (early) new year! ⭐I haven't been watching your channels for the longest time (2 years basically) but I love your cooking, diy and cat content🐈 Best wishes to you, Rachel and the cats for 2024!
In the UK we call those French beans. I've only ever seen the green ones in the shops, however you can also get varieties with purple, yellow, or white pods, which are better for growing at home because they're easier to spot amid the leaves. They're very easy to grow.
Our southern tradition, as a first meal of the new year, Collard greens, which is supposed to be money, black-eyed peas which represents common sense, Pork or ham, which is considered a sign of prosperity in some cultures because pigs root forward. Cornbread, which might symbolize gold and is essential with black-eyed peas and greens. Prosperity and health to you and Rachel in the coming years.
I always understood "butter" instead of "batter" and thought: well that's not the tempura coating I remember, but I'll trust you man on the Internet :D My bane of existence with the English language as a foreigner is "bet","bed"',bat","bad" btw. My American wife always laughs when I mess those up :D
Those beans are called green beans or string beans! I used to eat them fresh off the vine in my mom's garden when I was little. ❤ She complained that none of them ever made it inside because I'd eat them all! Sorry to be a nerd, but you said the priests ring the bells 108 times to represent sins and desires - I went "whoa, like Spiritomb!" The Pokémon Spiritomb is supposedly made from 108 souls. Nori tempura sounds AMAZING, I want to try that!
I'm very impressed with your chief and teaching skills. You gave us great advice regarding the shrimp, batter, okara, and oil. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year. I hope you and your family are safe after the earthquake.
4:29 Hello, in Italian they are called "Fagiolini" in the dialect of my city, Piacenza, we call them "fasuleì". "Fagiolini" derive "Fagioli", in fact "Fagiolini" could be translated into mini beans
it’s been AGES since yt recommended me this channel, I can already feel the urge to go on video binge, I love the vibe, the kitties, and the cooking!!! ❤️
I love soba! I'm in Okinawa right now and I'm so excited to try soki soba - I hear it's a lot like udon moreso than regular soba. Thanks for the video as always Jun! Looks delicious.
Ahh what a great start for my day. I always admire you as a person, on how calm the vibe you give. Your home, your cat. My world and my head is so loud that i wish i can turn it off but seeing videos like this makes some things feel better. Thank you for sharing, Jun-san 💐
nice to say purify desires and "in doing so illuminates why things need certain care or respect " I am Roman Catholic though grew up in different religious culture (protestant)
Happy New Year to Rachel and Jun! The shrimp looked (and sounded) so delicious. I have never seen a shrimp not curled unless it is butterfly shrimp, like I had tonight!
I love the level of self control your cats have, every other cat would have sucked all that shrimp right up. Even Poki is so calm now compared to years ago. I still haven't managed to visit Japan but maybe one day, i will be able to. Then again, i would probably be overwhelmed with everything and accidentally break like 100 traditions so well.
I can feel this „ooooh, so THIS is how it was supposed to taste like!“ moment 😂 I felt the same when eating nikuman for the first time in a Japanese restaurant after only making them myself before. 🥴
I didn't know that about soba and the 108 rings for the New Year, how cute !!!!! I wish I could participate. I love that kind of traditional history so please (if you can) share more of that in your cooking videos !!!!!!! And Happy New Year to your family !!!!
I should really not watch these before lunch! I always get so hungry. XD they look beautiful, and the shrimp tempura ESPECIALLY was just so gorgeous. And I'd still want to eat your nori-ten, even if it's not as good as the sakurako kind.
Oh man now i am craving soba noodles so bad! The cloth looked so cute on poki. Definitely plan to get a dapper picture of our cat wearing it too, when we get the box.

I still love Poki.
The beans are simply called green beans.
@@marc1indeed they are, the beans of green
Happy new year to you and Rachel and your cat family !
I've just heard recent earthquake in Japan..hopefully, all in safe condition. Big ❤ from Malaysia.
Jun: what are your sins and desires as cats?
Poki: screm. eat trash.
Nagi: pride.
While Haku: Chilling~
Pichi: Poki ~~❤❤❤
Jun: What are your sins and desires as cats?
cats: Crimes. And also food.
@@HiganbanaThatBloomsI was just gonna say!😂 Haku - Sloth
Does ruining the humans' decor count as a sin?
Jun:” 108 sounds a lot”
Poki: *bites Jun’s finger*
“109.”
Poki's sins are gluttony for food, and stealing everyone else's food! 😂 We love you Poki! Happy New Year!
And biting. Don't forget biting.
Never thought ill see Rachel learning from their cats and begging for food like them 😂😂😂
She even puts her head on the table and hand paw tab like them is so cute
The Many Sins of Poki the Cat is a manga I would gladly read.
11:40 - awww, hahaha, Rachel laying her chin on the counter, channeling her inner Poki, about to strike and grab more food when Jun looks away! LOLOL
She matched that ginger floof sitting on the right :P
People need to keep in mind that he is comparing his food to artisans that did nothing else but to cultivate the taste of this one product their entire life, so a 5/10 is probably the highest someone could reach first try
Jun’s English has gotten amazing. He even uses English colloquialisms at this point.
That crunchy tempura was something else. I could almost feel that sound.
We call them green beans in English. Which isn't an especially useful term for differentiating them from beans you eat individually, but it is what it is. Great video :)
I think you can also call them string beans, which is more descriptive.
Or french beans
For some reason I feel like string beans is a bit more popular in America, the main place I hear them called that is on videos, tv, etc. Also apparently most beans these days don't have strings any more... And I almost never hear French beans, I wonder if that's also semi regional. I'm sure the french don't call them french beans, hehe.
Yes, string beans is what I usually see in the Northeast. Rather than French beans, I may see "haricots verde" instead, which just seems like green beans in French...
Its more british english if anything. Which makes sense because im European and they teach us british rather than american English
Haku sitting on top of the vent and seeing his little paws in the beginning of the video cracked me up haha
4:27 those are usually called green beans! Oddly exact naming lol. Sometimes they’re also called string beans or snap beans, although those are technically different plants
oh we call those runner beans cause the plant will "run" up anything you put it near haha
Poki definitely has some desires related to shrimp
Poki always screams at the best times! 😂 Love him!💗
I hope you guys are ok. Our thoughts and prayers are for all of Japan. Stay safe.
Rachel and Jun were the first thing I thought of when I heard about the 1/1/24 earthquake! I hope they’re doing alright.
I really like these videos where you makes something from the Sakura box and compare. It makes the add fun and also shows how incredible talented the snacks makers of Japan are. When someone with Jun's cooking skillz, still have some way to go before reaching the masters of the craft it highlights the quality of the products in that box.

This makes me so happy to see poki with lil scarf omg my heart is melting from the cuteness lol also this food looks ssuuppeerr tasty 😮
I'm so impressed that Poki can remain in the kitchen these days.
I don’t know if it’s just me but watching the cats while Jun is cook it’s just so relaxing and satisfying
11:37 Me: "Oh, Nagi has joined us on the table.... no, wait, that's Rachel." XD
The soba looks delicious, and I love how honest Rachel is every time! Happy (early) new year! ⭐I haven't been watching your channels for the longest time (2 years basically) but I love your cooking, diy and cat content🐈 Best wishes to you, Rachel and the cats for 2024!

love the honesty of the food critiques
id be the worst food critic, if something doesn't make me feel ill or question life choices, it's a 9/10
Our southern tradition, as a first meal of the new year, Collard greens, which is supposed to be money, black-eyed peas which represents common sense, Pork or ham, which is considered a sign of prosperity in some cultures because pigs root forward.
Cornbread, which might symbolize gold and is essential with black-eyed peas and greens. Prosperity and health to you and Rachel in the coming years.
Happy New Year guys. I hope you're safe and didn't suffer much damage. Praying for everyone in Japan 🙏🏻 ❤.
Poki steals my heart every time!
I always understood "butter" instead of "batter" and thought: well that's not the tempura coating I remember, but I'll trust you man on the Internet :D
My bane of existence with the English language as a foreigner is "bet","bed"',bat","bad" btw. My American wife always laughs when I mess those up :D
Nah, I am a native English speaker and thought he said butter too. You’re good 😂
Happy New Year! Green beans, I believe, are what they are. Yummy if roasted in the oven. Although tempura is also very good too.
more of a string bean, but yeah :D
@slightly_rotten
Thank you. 😊
string bean or green bean. Cause some string beans are yellow which kind of makes them no longer "green beans"
At least in the American southeast, those would just be called green beans.
I like to air fry them and the sprinkle them in grated Parmesan cheese
Love the detailed cooking tips for the preparation on the shrimp and vegetables. ❤
Those beans are called green beans or string beans! I used to eat them fresh off the vine in my mom's garden when I was little. ❤ She complained that none of them ever made it inside because I'd eat them all!

Nori tempura sounds AMAZING, I want to try that!
I love how over the years, Jun has evolved to speak exactly like Rachel 😭🤣💖
1:52 got me cackling hahaha poki the comedic timing genius
We most imaginatively call those green beens in the NE US 😂
Happy New Year, and that's what you get for taunting Poki 🎉🎉🎉
String beans is also pretty common.
Poki is soooo cute! I love his little meows throughout the video letting us know he's still there. ❤😊 Amazing food Jun! Fantastic crunch!
Can I just say something? Jun, your english got so insanely good and it was fun to see your developement over the years!
Hope all is well there after the situation that’s unfolding in Japan. 気をつけてお願いします🙏🏼
I hope you, Rachel, and the kitties are okay and safe❤!!
Poki chomping on Jun's finger made me laugh out loud!
11:39 Rachel looking like an excited child ready to eat 😂
Happy New Year to Jun, Rachel and the cats!
I'm very impressed with your chief and teaching skills. You gave us great advice regarding the shrimp, batter, okara, and oil. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year. I hope you and your family are safe after the earthquake.

Just what I need to relax before work ❤ thank you Jun for always making the days brighter!
it’s been AGES since yt recommended me this channel, I can already feel the urge to go on video binge, I love the vibe, the kitties, and the cooking!!! ❤️
I hope your family & the cats are safe from the earthquake
Thinking of you guys and hope you and your friends are all okay after the earthquake. Not the way you want to start the new year!
I’m praying you and the kitties are safe 😢❤
I like the plushie you have sitting on top of the kitchen hood. :3
Oh wait. It's Haku.
年末にJunさんの動画を見れて嬉しいです。Junさんの作る天麩羅いつみてもおいしそうすぎます🤣
Love how the cats are watching and "helping."😺
Thanks Rachel and Jun and Sakuraco. Happy New Year!
I love soba! I'm in Okinawa right now and I'm so excited to try soki soba - I hear it's a lot like udon moreso than regular soba. Thanks for the video as always Jun! Looks delicious.
Have a happy new year Rachel, Jun, & the kitties! 🎉😺😸😼😽
I haven’t been on your channel for a while but I remember when you found poki and all you guys did for him. He’s so chill now!! Amazing
Happy 🎉 New Year🎉 May 2024 be a grand year for you both and your adorable cats!
Greetings from Northern Idaho USA ❤
"What are your sins and desires as a cat? Sleep, and be lazy?"
Haku: "Yea--"
Poki: "Murder."
Ahh what a great start for my day. I always admire you as a person, on how calm the vibe you give. Your home, your cat. My world and my head is so loud that i wish i can turn it off but seeing videos like this makes some things feel better. Thank you for sharing, Jun-san 💐
That crunch! It sounds delicious
nice to say purify desires and "in doing so illuminates why things need certain care or respect "
I am Roman Catholic though grew up in different religious culture (protestant)
Happy new year to you all!
Jun: MmmMMMM!
Poki: MEOW 😾
Thank you for sharing all the techniques.
I feel like the style and presentation for this video is markedly different compared to your other videos. I really like it!
Ah man, I needed this. Relaxing making noodle content for the new year, it’s gonna be better this year
Not Poki meowing angrily at Jun tasting and not sharing the shrimp tempura. 😂
it's a good day when jun uploads! hope you and rachel have a wonderful new years!!
this looks soooo yummy! and poki cracks me up 😂 thank you for another amazing video!!
Happy New Year to Rachel and Jun!
The shrimp looked (and sounded) so delicious. I have never seen a shrimp not curled unless it is butterfly shrimp, like I had tonight!
Jun, I love watching you no matter what the content. The cats are adorable but you're the sweetest! 🥰❤
I love the level of self control your cats have, every other cat would have sucked all that shrimp right up. Even Poki is so calm now compared to years ago. I still haven't managed to visit Japan but maybe one day, i will be able to. Then again, i would probably be overwhelmed with everything and accidentally break like 100 traditions so well.
I love the Japanese style of deep frying
"It tastes of sins... But it tastes great!" BWAAHAHAHA, that was hilarious
Happy NY to you Jun and your cat army which apparently includes your wife!
Loved all the tips for tempura! Definitely wanna try making this.
I can feel this „ooooh, so THIS is how it was supposed to taste like!“ moment 😂 I felt the same when eating nikuman for the first time in a Japanese restaurant after only making them myself before. 🥴
I hope you guys are ok after the new year earthquake. My prayers are with you all. 🙏🏻
The wholesome vibes on this video 🥺🥺
Happy New Year Jun!
I didn't know that about soba and the 108 rings for the New Year, how cute !!!!! I wish I could participate. I love that kind of traditional history so please (if you can) share more of that in your cooking videos !!!!!!! And Happy New Year to your family !!!!
Those beans you eat whole are simply just called “green beans” in English haha it’s simple but effective
What a fun, educational and adorable video! Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year!
PS - now I am REALLY hungry for tempura and soba :)
I really enjoy watching you cook, in particular when you show off your knife skills
Happy New Years to you, Rachel, and the furbabies! 😂🎉🎉
卵黄のみを冷水で溶き、卵水作り、ザックリ薄力粉を混ぜる‼️ この方法を実戦している方、久々に観て驚きました😊 最近は天ぷら粉を使用してるプロもいますし、そうでなくとも全卵使用する方も多いので💦
ENJOYING YOUR RECORDINGS and of course, the KITTIES.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND LOVED ONES !!!
BLESSINGS !!!!
Wishing you the Best for 2024. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍
amazing yummy happy new Year to you and Rachel and your Lovely family .
I should really not watch these before lunch! I always get so hungry. XD they look beautiful, and the shrimp tempura ESPECIALLY was just so gorgeous. And I'd still want to eat your nori-ten, even if it's not as good as the sakurako kind.
Happy new year!! 🎊
My cat’s name is Soba Noodles!! Maybe I should share with her this year 😊
The beans you are making are just called green beans. Some people call the longer ones string beans. But, it varies from region to region.
Rachel begging for the shrimps like the cats
Feliz fin de año 2023 para todos! Fuerza y Alegría para el comienza 2024💕
Oh man now i am craving soba noodles so bad! The cloth looked so cute on poki. Definitely plan to get a dapper picture of our cat wearing it too, when we get the box.
Happy New Year to Jun, Rachel and all the kitties. I hope 2024 is purrrr-fect for you all.
I love this little series of Jun putting his skills against Sakurako.
Once day Rachel will give Jun that 10!
I love the Sakuraco boxes! They have a great variety of different snacks from all over Japan. Happy New Year!🎉
