Please let the hostess know that I admired how calm and patient she was with the children there. I know we tend to be our own worst critics, but she looked quite lovely. I'm impressed by her skills and her gracious nature.
King iBeezey you’re too funny😂. One thing to take note of is that You can’t compare teenagers to younger children and many kids actions around their parents are very different than their actions around their friends or on social media!
King iBeezey I’m kind of confused of what you mean by that exactly but I definitely think it all goes back to who you surround yourself with and remember that one child/person cannot be a reflection of the society as a whole because that’s simply a generalization!
My question at the end, "What's a house party like where you're from?" obviously is a very different question now than was intended back when I filmed this. Only a couple weeks has passed, yet the world is such a different place. Our family has been on self-imposed isolation for a bit now, seeing how things have gone around the world. Keep safe everyone and I hope this can bring a bit of lightness into your lives for a brief moment. - Greg
For my family, when we get invited it's a Cantonese party so there's a lot of food. People bring a plate of food and the kids get shuffled to one room, and we just go on our electronics. The parents either go talk with friends, spill tea or the more drunk members go sing karaoke up until 2 am
I'm african canadian and we are VERY loud at house parties. We always have enough food to feed an army and we play a lot of card games (and everyone cheats lol). As the night went on we usually just slept over at the host's house.
I'm from South Africa and generally a dinner party is just a braai - a bunch of people gathering around a fire pretending to grill meat and talking about emigration, the rugby and latest political scandal Everyone gets really drunk and fills up on crisps while waiting for the meat to cook. Some people take the food prep seriously and make the best grilled meat dishes you've ever seen.
I like to party alone. After a hot Summer's Day in the cool of the evening I take a shower put on my jammies get out my ambrosia salad, light a candle, put on some classical hymns, and read my Bible. I have peace Beyond peace in these times. Of course if anyone would like to join me they are more than welcome
I love everything about this video and the others. In my family, my kids help out with family gatherings too but they do get a lot of screen time too. Lol
In India too it is like this almost..like we with our relatives like my mother's sisters families etc gather in a house and cook food together...Now a days we are ordering food from out like naan or biryani. And we get an ice cream family pack. And children form a group and gossip or play. Elders too talk forming groups based on age. We too sit down on floor and eat as ppl would be more..We sleep adjusting in the same room sometimes that night by spreading blankets on the floor..Children would be requesting one another to stay for the night...It's fun
Yes i used to live in japan. I can literally live my cellphone in a sidewalk go buy in a convenience and no one will bother. Japan discipline is indeed PRAISEWORTHY
I had lost my key to the chain but I had to go into the store, so I wrapped the chain just to fake it as being locked. I came back in 10mins and couldn't find my bike anywhere! Safeway Edmonton Canada
The guy at the end IS INCREDIBLE. Mushing that entire hand size "temaki" sushi into his mouth is the video embodiment of me eating leftovers at 3am in the morning. Btw, nice video Greg!
These damn American kids wouldn’t appreciate the food and as they’re eating they’d be playing with their IPhones...ya their spoiled it’s got to be the latest model
go to filipino parties. the whole town gets invited, they block the streets to set up tables. then take home leftovers. It was so weird when I came to America, and food was not the highlight of a party. That is the only reason to attend parties for me, so i never go to American parties haha

That bike shot was GORGEOUS, Greg. As usual, congrats on making such high-quality videos. Also, why is everyone in your channel so adorable? lol xoxo
I once steamed broccoli and then dumped it in a shallow platter. My Japanese grandmother was appalled and told me to make it look presentable. This was over 25 years ago. Now I have the tendency to fancy up my food and I think of grandma every time I do it🤗
I’m Asian-American. Although, growing up I always sat at the “Adult Table”. On the rare occasions when we would go out to eat, I never had the kids menu. I ate luke a normal human. I also ordered my food. Now that I’m older, I’m extremely glad! It helped shape my personality.
I just saw a very interesting video on this and how it’s very important in Japanese conversations for people to chime in when someone makes a statement it’s seen as very polite. A very endearing quality, the self agreeing head nodding “mmmm”
In Portugal, that "mmmm" usually means that you disagree with what was said, unless you nod a yes or put a break in between the mmmm, like mhmm. So it's kinda funny to see people say that in Japanese since it looks like they are always disagreeing with each other
So cool! My house party is like your sister-in-law’s. Always good, talking, the hostess is always cooking up a storm, the kids help or go play, the women gather up in the kitchen to see if they can help while the men search for us women. It’s always super fun and very home warming. I miss my house parties. We normally play DND or board games. -from Alaska
I’m Japanese but I haven’t lived there since I was three years old due to my parents job. Even though they tried to keep me in touch with my roots, it was not possible to know how life actually felt like there. Now that I don’t live with them it feels specially rare to see, eat or hear Japanese stuff. It’s nice to see the culture in your videos and they also remind me a lil bit of my families’ houses. Thx!
Can't have nothing nice in America! I once left my hobo bag at the library and when I finally realized like ten minutes into walking home, I turned around and headed back, someone already snatched it. It was a good thing I didn't carry my money or anything important in the bag. But it still was sad.
Yes, I agree. America isn’t safe, you leave something out for a second, your turn around, and your belonging is gone. I also wish in America that biking would be a common transportation rather than cars and that you wouldn’t worry about leaving things out or waking alone at a specific time ( such as night).
how did those kids crack the eggs so well, I'm over here with a smashed egg on the side update: after 2 mins of actual practice and 15 eggs i have now mastered it, crack on a flat surface
There was a very welcoming and fun video to watch, not only because it's a new experience, but with the whole party smiling and having a genuine good time. My wife is from Germany and I love all cultures and seeing what social events take place. Thank you
In Poland typical family meeting (at least in my family) starts with the dinner. Traditional, or rather mainstream dishes are 'rosół' and 'schabowy', you can google that to find out how does it look like, we don't really need many dishes because slavic cuisine contains a lot of fat compared to the Japanese one, so you are full after just 2 dishes. Next is desert, typically cakes called sernik, szarlotka or mazurek, mostly they are home made. Usually we don't dance either, unless there is vodka on the table 😉 All jokes aside, alcohol is part of the culture in Poland, so we find it normal to drink in such as parties. Then it's the time for supper: sałatka jarzynowa - vegetable salad with sausage, cheese, white bread etc. In the summer the supper is BBQ in the backyard, btw this is normal to change the spots of meeting, eg. from living room to the backyard, from backyard to the neighbour's backyard and so on. I really enjoy my family reunions for many reasons like meeting my cousins, and I think this is the same all around the world 🥰
Lmao this sounds a bit like how my ukrainian family celebrates parties, i only regoniced the word sernik, honestly best dessert. Also true, slavic cuisine has alot of fat, and meat compared to other countries/cultures, like salo for example (if you never tried it i recommend you do, goes good with onion and cooked potato)
I’m two months late to comment but come to Japan and I will show you good time and make you eat all the food. The only thing is if I ever come to Poland you show me a good time and make me eat all the food haha. The best parties in any country are the ones among friends and family. Greetings from Japan! All the best to Poland!
Greg, surprisingly house parties in Japan are quite similar here (not teenage parties or frat parties) here it’s all about getting together with friends you already know and Food, Food, Food! Usually friends also arrive early and help out with prep work as it’s part of the fun and social. We tend to drink quite a lot of wine and Prosecco / cava and there might be some party games or board games and a little bit of dancing. There is usually and equal amount of desserts as the main food too!
Is it common in Japanese culture to have so much food to choose from or to eat so much in general? So much food was also prepared and eaten in the camping video. That's why I wonder if this is a typical Japanese thing or maybe just done in your family. Thanks for the insight into japanese Party culture :)
I've been asking about this. It suppose it depends on the host. But my wife was explaining to me that you wouldn't want to have a situation where two guests are trying to decide who gets the last bite, or that someone still feels hungry, so you always want there to be food available. From my limited experience in maybe a dozen households, I don't think the food was ever lacking at any of these little get togethers.
I think it's an Asian thing. House parties are basically for families and close friends so you don't go cheap with ingredients. The recipes are elaborate and varied and quantities are large. Not having enough or not having somebody's, especially a senior family member's, favourite dish is to lose face - at least in my circle.
Goodness the kids have gotten so big!!!! If we weren’t in quarantine I would of loved to be at this party. Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.
Tell your sister in law that "she looks fine from all angles"--(Said some American). I'm going to try hosting one of these parties when the quarantine is over.
What a wonderful show. I enjoyed your family's party. In southern Louisiana, parties at home are similar, but space in less of a limitation. We frequently cook out of doors on the patio and set up tables in the garden area with chairs and guests just fill their plates as they wish and conversation abounds. Sometimes the guests will bring dishes too, especially if it is a family party. Dancing is not normal for the garden; dance parties are more for dancing and eating hors d' oeuvres or canapes and cocktails inside a large venue. Can't wait for the next show. I can't believe your children are so big! Best to the family.
This made me miss my Grandma. She host the best house parties for our family. For fiestas she gets at least 2-3 other grandmas to help out and prepares the food days before the party. We’re Filipino so sometimes she hosts 50-100 people and we help out by giving drinks. Food just keeps on coming out from the kitchen and I never see her complain. She’s just so happy to make everyone happy. Since she passed away the parties aren’t the same but she she left us with all the best memories. 🥰
I'm from Brazil~ I've been having House Parties like this with my friends for the past years, we just love to be together in a calm place. We make lots of food and talk until it's very late, since most of us are introverts, we usually don't go out. Sometimes we play some games and dance to our favorire songs, but we usually get really full with food very soon, so we just end up watching a movie afterwards😅
I've been looking for channels that give a more engaging and real view into the lives of other people. The way you make these videos is so natural, human... You're great at this. Thanks!!
Oh God I just love watching videos expressing social and cultural diversity!I honestly don't think I could eat half of the things japanese people are used to consume, and I absolutely love that!The fact that people are so different yet we can all feel a connection when we see other humans spending quality time with their family and friends and just being happy and content it makes me feel so good!🥺
I used to live in japan as a exchange foreign student and im having this nostalgic feeling because of the food. We ALWAYS have parties with other japanese students and they are all so generous with the food. Sushi platter is a must in a party hahaha. They also drink green tea as their "coke". Japanese food is really undescribable. I will legit go back to Tokyo sooon
In Germany, where I'm from, my houseparties are not much different. The host prepares a lot of food (I'm known for always preparing too much o_o') and when the guests arrive, we eat, drink and talk with each other. I always try to be ready with all the food preparations, but that's something I never get done. So friends offer to help with the cooking and some of us cook together, when the food is ready, everyone eats. And after some time we reach snacks like potato chips, pretzel sticks and so on. Depending on the season we're in, there are often some fruits that are prepared after the "main food" like watermelon or pineapple. And often we have some cake at last. With my friends, it's not so different like where you're from, sometimes we just get together to make pizza together or something like that and yes, we just like to enjoy our time together, talk, eat and sometimes play some games (like werewolf or in smaller groups even board games). So, that's it! Thank you for that great video, I enjoyed it.
Ur sister in law is very beautiful and thanks for posting this video because Spring break I am going to make my grandparents and they are going to have a party and I wonder what’s it likes having a Japanese Party
Can I just say that I love the kids, they seem so sweet and well behaved. Looks like they really are having fun, while they are included into every aspect of the party, that's awesome!
In our family, a party never ends till there is atleast one familial argument while kids don't give a damn about what elders are arguing over because that's how our elders show their love to each other. Atleast that's what they say😂
I've been rewatching this vid because it looks so fun and i never get bored also, Akko trying to compose herself infront of the camera and trying to keep her good angle is so cute!
That's such a chill party. Everytime my family has had one, it's insanely loud b/c the music and pretty disorganized and my mom is shuffling back and forth from the kitchen with various foods. Some people are outside or in different parts of the house and the kids are normally chilling in their own space playing video games.
this makes me miss my host family from japan so much! we used to have a house party like this as my farewell before i leave and we made takoyaki together. honestly the best homemade takoyaki i had.
Wow, how is your neighborhood that beautiful ? I'm from germany and i wished streets would look like that here. The little floating water on the side, these rocks.. This is just so beautiful. Thanks for showing insight into your daily life :) I really enjoy watching your channel, i find the asian culture very interesting and i think we can learn a lot from their ways
Gorgeous family gathering. I miss my Mum and her incredible Japanese cooking and her family dinner parties. Thank you for sharing with your video. Your sister-in-law is beautiful too. 💗🌟
After being the host of my departing Japan party, I am happy how well I, INADVERTENTLY, followed the procedure. So much better than some other parts of my stay xD
Hello Greg, it’s interesting to see how Shin and Aiko’s English has changed. For example, Shin said at about 6:10: This food I made I think it’s pretty interesting that he changed from SVO (subject verb object) to Japanese’s SOV ( subject object verb)
Your sister is a great cook and her handwriting is beautiful! I grew up in Hawaii which is a largely Japanese culture, and so much of this agrees with my idea of the ideal party (except maybe the host having to eat and drink at the sink lol!) and yes, they have those candy sushi kits, called Popin' Cookin', at my beloved Asian markets. There are kits for sushi, hamburgers, all kinds of things. And that roast beef looked wonderful. It makes me miss a long-gone sushi boat place in Sunnyvale, that had mostly-raw beef among a lot of other wonderful things.
Wow, the food and interactions are so incredibly different from what I'm used to experiencing in New Zealand. It's like a different world. Thanks for sharing, this video was eyeopening!
Love watching your family get togethers. Everyone enjoying themselves , and the food !!!!! Makes me realize what I miss about japan. And Shin, he has found his calling, master takoyaki chef. ありがとうございます。🦘🐨👍😎
I’m from Texas in the USA and here we have these parties called cook outs where at least 20 people spend time out in the countryside barbecuing meat and most people bring a dish as well. Even to me and my cook outs, this video has SO MUCH food 😂
Omg! I’m from Norway and I love Japanese culture ! This is so fun to watch, everyone coming together and making stuff together! ❤️ hope you had a great time ! Love your videos 💕

“Shin-Chan don’t take the octopus out when you eat it. It’s pricey” best Japanese mom quote ever
I caught that too. Lol😄
Lol I laughed! I think it's a universal mom thing to say!
Can you please explain what it means?
@@aachikha123 Takoyaki is octopus balls or more precisely pan-baked dough balls with a piece of octopus (and other stuff) inside it.
lmao when i eat it i take the octopus and finish the takoyaki then eat the octopus
Even Japanese parties are very tamed and informative, here in the Philippines just plug in the karaoke then its already a party!
Damn straight.

Everyone is suddenly a singer especially the Tito’s and Tita’s ugh I miss being in Phil with my cousins
Cambodian parties are like this too, with tons of food and drinking in the mix😂

I’m two months late to comment but come to Japan and I will show you good time and make you eat all the food. The only thing is if I ever come to Poland you show me a good time and make me eat all the food haha. The best parties in any country are the ones among friends and family. Greetings from Japan! All the best to Poland!
The house is so full of love god willing it stays like that
Wholesome quarantine content...this has me longing for my friends and our happy social interactions😍
Greg, surprisingly house parties in Japan are quite similar here (not teenage parties or frat parties) here it’s all about getting together with friends you already know and Food, Food, Food! Usually friends also arrive early and help out with prep work as it’s part of the fun and social. We tend to drink quite a lot of wine and Prosecco / cava and there might be some party games or board games and a little bit of dancing. There is usually and equal amount of desserts as the main food too!
Is it common in Japanese culture to have so much food to choose from or to eat so much in general? So much food was also prepared and eaten in the camping video. That's why I wonder if this is a typical Japanese thing or maybe just done in your family. Thanks for the insight into japanese Party culture :)
when I lived and worked in Japan, picnics and gatherings that I've been to was always like this. (^-^)v
i think in japan, they prepare a variety of foods but no one eats big portions of anything, so you can have a little bit of many things :)
anna fact
I've been asking about this. It suppose it depends on the host. But my wife was explaining to me that you wouldn't want to have a situation where two guests are trying to decide who gets the last bite, or that someone still feels hungry, so you always want there to be food available. From my limited experience in maybe a dozen households, I don't think the food was ever lacking at any of these little get togethers.
I think it's an Asian thing. House parties are basically for families and close friends so you don't go cheap with ingredients. The recipes are elaborate and varied and quantities are large. Not having enough or not having somebody's, especially a senior family member's, favourite dish is to lose face - at least in my circle.
Goodness the kids have gotten so big!!!! If we weren’t in quarantine I would of loved to be at this party. Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.
This is awesome. Probably one of the most wholesome family oriented videos I've seen.
I love how their "big bag" potato chips are my personal sized ones
Personal?! 😱 Surely lasts at least 3 days, right?
@@Kkstgch i buy a bag of cheetos the same size as the bag of Japanese Chips, and I am done with it by the next day. I don't get full easily
@@Kkstgchm done with that bag in 1 hour max. Especially Lays Cheese and Onion
Tell your sister in law that "she looks fine from all angles"--(Said some American).
I'm going to try hosting one of these parties when the quarantine is over.
Good luck, remember the beef need to rest after cooking
Lol
What a wonderful show. I enjoyed your family's party. In southern Louisiana, parties at home are similar, but space in less of a limitation. We frequently cook out of doors on the patio and set up tables in the garden area with chairs and guests just fill their plates as they wish and conversation abounds. Sometimes the guests will bring dishes too, especially if it is a family party. Dancing is not normal for the garden; dance parties are more for dancing and eating hors d' oeuvres or canapes and cocktails inside a large venue. Can't wait for the next show. I can't believe your children are so big! Best to the family.
"Isn't octopus gross?" Mom replies, "Don't take the octopus out when you eat it! It's pricey!" lol, I laughed so hard at that.
I keep coming back to this video. 😊👍
It's kinda been my meal time watch.
This made me miss my Grandma. She host the best house parties for our family. For fiestas she gets at least 2-3 other grandmas to help out and prepares the food days before the party. We’re Filipino so sometimes she hosts 50-100 people and we help out by giving drinks. Food just keeps on coming out from the kitchen and I never see her complain. She’s just so happy to make everyone happy. Since she passed away the parties aren’t the same but she she left us with all the best memories. 🥰
I'm from Brazil~ I've been having House Parties like this with my friends for the past years, we just love to be together in a calm place. We make lots of food and talk until it's very late, since most of us are introverts, we usually don't go out. Sometimes we play some games and dance to our favorire songs, but we usually get really full with food very soon, so we just end up watching a movie afterwards😅
True. But our food is very different from theirs, I think we have more caloric snacks like coxinha (♥️) than healthy ones 😅
I've been looking for channels that give a more engaging and real view into the lives of other people. The way you make these videos is so natural, human... You're great at this. Thanks!!
See now THAT'S an amazing party!
All enjoying the food, talking, playing games etc.
Oh God I just love watching videos expressing social and cultural diversity!I honestly don't think I could eat half of the things japanese people are used to consume, and I absolutely love that!The fact that people are so different yet we can all feel a connection when we see other humans spending quality time with their family and friends and just being happy and content it makes me feel so good!🥺
I used to live in japan as a exchange foreign student and im having this nostalgic feeling because of the food. We ALWAYS have parties with other japanese students and they are all so generous with the food. Sushi platter is a must in a party hahaha. They also drink green tea as their "coke". Japanese food is really undescribable. I will legit go back to Tokyo sooon
It's aiko, shin, and shoko! Good to see them growing up nicely 😊
I really enjoyed being invited to this house party! Amazing food, great friends, family and talking bad about husbands!! 🤣
In Germany, where I'm from, my houseparties are not much different. The host prepares a lot of food (I'm known for always preparing too much o_o') and when the guests arrive, we eat, drink and talk with each other. I always try to be ready with all the food preparations, but that's something I never get done. So friends offer to help with the cooking and some of us cook together, when the food is ready, everyone eats. And after some time we reach snacks like potato chips, pretzel sticks and so on. Depending on the season we're in, there are often some fruits that are prepared after the "main food" like watermelon or pineapple. And often we have some cake at last. With my friends, it's not so different like where you're from, sometimes we just get together to make pizza together or something like that and yes, we just like to enjoy our time together, talk, eat and sometimes play some games (like werewolf or in smaller groups even board games). So, that's it! Thank you for that great video, I enjoyed it.
This is heartwarming. Thank you for inviting all of us to the party.
0:20 man that handwriting is so pretty, I hope I can develop my Japanese handwriting like that eventually
That was a clever way to sneak Audible onto us. 🎧🥰💖
Ur sister in law is very beautiful and thanks for posting this video because Spring break I am going to make my grandparents and they are going to have a party and I wonder what’s it likes having a Japanese Party
I like how the sister in law doesn't mind being filmed but her own sister (the mother of Aiko and Shin) hates it which is why we never see her lol.
I'm self-isolated in Australia, with no Japanese food, dreaming of Japan and its crazy-good food. And amazing people.
Uber eats. Honestly not being a smart arse. Just learnt I could order sushi and beer.
Now my life as a recluse is complete.
THE EFFORT PUT IN BY EVERYONE IS SO WHOLESOME
Her reaction at 12:20 cracks me up so much it's so cute 😂
🤣🤣🤣ikr
omg ur sister in law was so worried abt her looks 😞 she’s so pretty 🥺🥺🥺
I love the biking everywhere and she didn’t lock up her bike love the trust
Kids are well behaved also. Here in the states, damn kids would be running all over the damn place.
And breaking household objects, as well as playfighting
I don’t know where u live but where I live (U.S as well) kids are nice over here
Kids will be kids
@@Woozi_Lover maybe thats because the Kid minds more mature and know when to be Childish and when not too... 🤔🤔
RizS yes depends on the kid and parents
Can I just say that I love the kids, they seem so sweet and well behaved. Looks like they really are having fun, while they are included into every aspect of the party, that's awesome!
perfect to watch when you are locked inside, and you are by yourself on your birthday....THANK YOU GREG and AUNTIE. xxx
I love how there is a sense of teamwork in children and family! And obviously they eat healthy at parties! ❤
In our family, a party never ends till there is atleast one familial argument while kids don't give a damn about what elders are arguing over because that's how our elders show their love to each other. Atleast that's what they say😂
I’m Japanese/ American Italian so I know both sides lol.
I love how artistic and meticulous they are with the food. They really seem to appreciate it.
That plum soda is good I've had something like that here in Los Angeles before. Plum soda but it's sour sweet and little salty too.
I've been rewatching this vid because it looks so fun and i never get bored also, Akko trying to compose herself infront of the camera and trying to keep her good angle is so cute!
This video made me so happy, and also very hungry. Your sister-in-law seems so great!! It looked like a super fun house party. I love all the food!!
I love learning about other cultures. I love how the food brings them together. The food never ends like in Mexican culture. 🥺🥰
When she didn’t lock her bike up in a dense urban city I was like...😦😞 Damn I forgot not everywhere is a crime infested hellhole like American cities.
true
@Mario Medrano In my country people don't go out much because a bomb might just drop on you.
@@Rudi_Mentary723 In my country people don't breathe because they might inhale the Poisenous gas which appeared due to war 🤡
@@poopsickle2411 Hehe, thanks for the laughs ! 😅
something more annoying than getting your bicycle stolen are these american people complaining in the comments. just be thankful!
Italians: Meat-ah-ball-ah
Japanese: Meat-o-boll

@@pitmezzari2873 Is this for pork based meat ball?
That's such a chill party. Everytime my family has had one, it's insanely loud b/c the music and pretty disorganized and my mom is shuffling back and forth from the kitchen with various foods. Some people are outside or in different parts of the house and the kids are normally chilling in their own space playing video games.
this makes me miss my host family from japan so much! we used to have a house party like this as my farewell before i leave and we made takoyaki together. honestly the best homemade takoyaki i had.
Shin: Still the master of sound effects!
Wow, how is your neighborhood that beautiful ?
I'm from germany and i wished streets would look like that here.
The little floating water on the side, these rocks..
This is just so beautiful.
Thanks for showing insight into your daily life :)
I really enjoy watching your channel, i find the asian culture very
interesting and i think we can learn a lot from their ways
James Franko ikr that’s what I thought too . My dad has been there and he said it’s a really beautiful and clean country
Vrinda ⟭⟬ not really tbh! Even the rural area where I live has trash lying around bc people can’t be bothered to actually recycle smh
Gorgeous family gathering. I miss my Mum and her incredible Japanese cooking and her family dinner parties. Thank you for sharing with your video. Your sister-in-law is beautiful too. 💗🌟
Your sister-in-law just got a new fan! I love her grace and energy. Hope she's doing well. Please bring her back in future videos!
After being the host of my departing Japan party, I am happy how well I, INADVERTENTLY, followed the procedure. So much better than some other parts of my stay xD
Hello Greg, it’s interesting to see how Shin and Aiko’s English has changed. For example, Shin said at about 6:10: This food I made
I think it’s pretty interesting that he changed from SVO (subject verb object) to Japanese’s SOV (
subject object verb)
Aw, I was waiting for Shin to do his 10 finger thing after he ate that takoyaki. I guess he’s grown out of it.
life is often dissapointing.
He did it at least once on the frozen treat video a few months ago.
Nope, he said he just forgot!
Your sister is a great cook and her handwriting is beautiful! I grew up in Hawaii which is a largely Japanese culture, and so much of this agrees with my idea of the ideal party (except maybe the host having to eat and drink at the sink lol!) and yes, they have those candy sushi kits, called Popin' Cookin', at my beloved Asian markets. There are kits for sushi, hamburgers, all kinds of things. And that roast beef looked wonderful. It makes me miss a long-gone sushi boat place in Sunnyvale, that had mostly-raw beef among a lot of other wonderful things.
Wow, the food and interactions are so incredibly different from what I'm used to experiencing in New Zealand. It's like a different world. Thanks for sharing, this video was eyeopening!
Love watching your family get togethers. Everyone enjoying themselves , and the food !!!!!
Makes me realize what I miss about japan. And Shin, he has found his calling, master takoyaki chef.
ありがとうございます。🦘🐨👍😎
11:05 "...The food seemingly never ends..." Reminds me of my mother. Every time I visit, there's always too much food! XD
I’m from Texas in the USA and here we have these parties called cook outs where at least 20 people spend time out in the countryside barbecuing meat and most people bring a dish as well. Even to me and my cook outs, this video has SO MUCH food 😂
Bruh they know what you do
@@amrm5916 And? Besides I didn't know about cook outs until now? So no, not all of them do.
Luna Nova6 cuz you dumb
AM RM or because maybe their country doesn’t do those/call them cookouts
The food looks amazing and your sister in law is adorable.
Omg! I’m from Norway and I love Japanese culture ! This is so fun to watch, everyone coming together and making stuff together! ❤️ hope you had a great time ! Love your videos 💕
This reminds me of my parents, they spend most of the party fixing food and tidying haha, I’m realizing that I’m becoming the same as them 💕
8:47 finally something looks familiar
You sister in low is so pretty!😫💕💞
What I liked about the Japanese party is they all participate in making the party and the conversation make people closer togather.
Always loves ur video, been 5 years wathing ur video thoo❤ thank u
Love from Papua, Indonesia❤
