Texan in Tokyo me too. I love homemade food but it takes forever! That's why I make extras so I can have leftovers the next day and not have to cook :P
Cooking is tiring and sooo time consuming, but I also love to eat!! I cook on the weekends for the rest of the week and my husband and I eat the same during five days :P But I try to prepare a varied menu (soup, salad, a main dish and a dessert) so that we don't get bored.
Oh my god I'm amazed by all the harsh comments on here! I don't normally comment on youtube videos but Grace I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos! Thank you for letting us into your life. We get to see all these private aspects and its so fun and interesting. You are a beautiful woman and you have such a genuine personality. Thank you for sharing with us!
I miss you Grace & Ryosuke. 🙁❤️ I've been repeatedly watching your videos for 3 yrs now. You're videos were one of my first viewed videos in TH-cam. I hope you're doing greater than ever. Hope to hear at least once in a while from you. Love you both!
+Ricardo Contreras I know, right? All my white friends think i'm weird for hand washing all my dishes and letting them dry in a perfectly operational dishwasher. It's what I grew up with, and I feel the dishes are generally cleaner.
+Jack Ryan my parents had experiences with dishwashers and from what I can tell at the time they don't really get everything out (yes we cleaned off cheese before puting them in) and left an odd smell. they stopped using it afterwards of course. it was probably an old dishwasher my old apartment had. I remember it leaking something within a month living there.
Hi Grace and Ryosuke, Thank you for making these lovely vlogs. Life as a student can be quite stressful and boring, whenever I feel overwhelmed I just visit your channel. Watching your vlogs reminds me how life can be simple and happy on the other side of the world. I'm living in Europe at the moment. Thank you :) Keep spreading positive energy !
Winston Koh Oh! Thank you! you just made my day!! haha, when we feel overwhelmed, we visit our channel and go through nice/kind comments like yours! Thanks (Ryosuke)
Once I witnessed a similar thing but I had to go under the cables. For some reason they started making the most weird sound I've ever heard birds make, like cawing but they weren't crows, and they started moving from one cable to another nervously. Some even flew quite close to my head and went back up to the cables. There were so many they scared the crap out of me xD Granted I don't like birds perse but that part of the video gave me flashbacks. Those birds were plotting something lol
Those were birds!?Wow!They looked so evenly parted out and so organized on just that electrical wire (I guess birds in Japan are sophisticated haha :D)
For anyone watching this video years later and finding themselves confused: these are NOT birds. These are bird repellents. Search for "bird repellent attached to an electric wire" on google images and you will see some close-up photos of what they are. Mystery solved 🐦
I actually enjoy these videos and don't find them boring. I like watching your day to day life. Plus we get to learn how you write your books and such. We usually don't get to see how someone writes and deals with writers block and such. It's nice.
The remote control lights is probably the best feat on this episode...why don't we have it here. Awesome video, I love watching your videos. Thank you and Ryosuke so much!
So nice watching your videos, especially these ones of your daily routine. Your videos definitely help boost my spirits. Thank you and keep them coming.
your videos are never boring! they are actually intriguing :3 its cool to see how life really is like in japan especially in the rural area and not entirely in the city through someone who is american and their japanese partner, so thank you for sharing your life with the youtube community! love your videos and wish nothing but the best and lots of love to you and Ryosuke
Every place I lived has had a dish washer but my mom always says its a waste, it only takes a few minutes to wash dishes, and even when we have lots of dishes them we never use the dishwasher. I didn't think it was weird to wash dishes by hand until now
Skye I've become used to it now. And, like, we don't have enough dishes (or enough people in this house) to warrant using a dishwasher - the dishes would probably start rotting before we had enough dirty to run a load.
Even with a family of 4 we never use ours xD, My boyfriend always uses it, I dont understand!, They wash the dishes then put it in the dishwasher to wash again. Maybe my family is just cheap xD
Skye lol so my grandma would just pile them in the dishwasher to dry. She never used it. I went to California with friends and we stayed with my friends aunt and they had two dishwashers. granted their family was very big and family reunions happened at there house often. so your needs are a factor . I would love hand washing my dishes if I had time for it (house of three with the occasional influx of grand children). probably saves water and energy to do them by hand.
How often do you typically go to the grocery store? I notice that when you buy groceries, its like one bag of items. In america when we go, its like 10 bags and a 'see how many you can carry at one time from the car to the house' challenge.
I like this series "Day in my life". When watching it feels like I'm living someone else's life for a moment, it's nice, and i get to learn things too. Like how you keep yourself motivated working from home. Good job, keep it up Grace and Ryo !
I know you're not making videos anymore but I grew up in Japan on various Air Force Bases, and your videos are my comfort. My entire childhood was in Japan. Whenever I get homesick I watch your old videos. I hope you are well wherever you are!
Even if you think that these videos are boring to film I just wanted to say I love them! It is a really interesting way to get a unique and personalized perspective of living in rural Japan. Keep up the good work! :)
Really enjoy watching your Day In My Life videos, they are fun to watch ^.^ You should do them more often. Hope you and Ryosuke are well, I enjoy waiting for new videos
I am fairly sure i have watched about 30 of your videos over the last week and devoured both of your comic books yesterday. I may be developing a problem LOL. You and your husband are adorable together!! Cannot wait for book 3.
just found your channel. I've wanted to go to Japan since a child and I finally have a trip in the works. watching you, a fellow American, has made me yearn even more! it almost makes me cry.
I didn't grow up with a dishwasher, or at least not until I was a teenager. I honestly find that for myself or even up to 3 people it's just more expedient to wash by hand, since you usually have to clean the dishes before loading the washer anyway. I also work as a baker and that means washing a lot of dishes myself as well so I'm fast at it, lots of practice. Not to mention that I live in California where we have a serious water crisis so you use less water washing in a 2-basin sink by hand than you would in most any washer (again, depending how many people are making dishes). Every little bit counts, saving a few gallons from dishes each week really adds up.
THE BIRDSSS. Why were they all evenly spaced...weird! I just finished watching a show called "zoo" about animals fighitng back against humanity... which involved birds taking out electrics. Reminded me of that. lol.
Can tell you miss Ryosuke A LOT from this video, poor Grace... Hope I am able to experience Japan soon! Thank you for your videos! Really love watching all of them. Ganbatte! *support support*
Okinawa! Yay! Can't wait to see your videos. I'm dreaming go there. Maybe I can get to go in a couple of years, now that I'm finishing university. Can you tell if is it expensive?
I like the real life vibe you have in your videos, in contrast with other videos that I see where they raise life expectations like eating things only from plates and not a pan xD which I totally understand ahahah
Hi! I love your channel! I'm originally from Dallas, but live in Chicago now. It's so fun to watch your adventures in Japan. That Ramen looks amazing. I may try to copy it. What kind of greens were those that you snipped and threw in? Was it cilantro? Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
so interesting. The noodle soup and coffee for breakfast is odd, but I understand... different customs. I love the idea of house shoes vs outdoor shoes, but in my home it's just not practical. Do you still make/eat traditional American foods??
Sorry if this has been asked before, but what are those sprouts that you cut for breakfast? Do they grow back again, or do you have to plant new seeds? It looks good! Thanks.
i'm going to use this to motivate myself to finish my schoolwork! you were so productive, i feel ashamed of myself. and it's so lovely to see how much affection you have for your husband! ^-^
Do you ever miss a western type breakfast: cereal, toast etc? I love Asian and Indian food but I'm not sure that I could get used to eating it for breakfast.
nickynoodles81 I can get western breakfast here - and I do eat it a couple times a week. But when I made this video, I was basically all out of ALL of my supplies. Hahaha.
Your tips on staying productive are really helpful! It sounds silly, and your tips are incredibly simple, but yeah. Super motivating when I hear it from someone else haha
That's a good idea moving around to keep from getting bored. That's one down side to working on a desktop is you can't really move it. Some time if I'm working on a smaller project I take my laptop to Starbucks to work so i don't go stir crazy.
Texan in Tokyo You may think that it's all boring and stuff but I find it a good way to see another one's reality and how other people lives. I hope everything goes well and I'd love to see more vids!
I've wondered why you use a gas hot plate instead of an electric one. And why you use the small tanks instead of converter for a larger tank. I've noticed here in American, the asian store has a burner like yours and I wondered why they are prefered?
I see your cooking gas comes in a little canister. Could you get line gas (the kind that comes out of a pipe in the ground, like we have in Texas) if you wanted it?
I've seen those plants on Japanese TV programs and I've been wanting to get them! The ones you have in your kitchen. What are they called and where do you buy them?
I wash all my dishes by hand still, and I live in Michigan. I've never owned a dishwasher, and I find them kind of pointless. You have to wash the dishes before you put them in to be washed.. I'll pass on that.
Even the birds sitting on wires in Japan are polite and sit spaced out a proper distance. A kind of kebab for a big kitty like Toby here don't you agree?
I love that you use a stand-up desk. (my words are failing me right now). I wish I could be brave enough to work from home! Maybe once my man gets a job here I can tart looking into it hahaha XD
Older video, but I have been confused by all the kitchens. Are they all normally one burner with no large oven, or is it just because smaller apartments for singles/couples? I have a large family (5 kids, plus we took 2 more in that were't ours). I had to get a 6 burner range and have 2 ovens. Curious how families do it, especially if they host big holiday/occasion dinners. Oh definitely need a dishwasher! :)
Hi there Grace and Ryosuke! Its nice to meet you! I found out about your channel about 2 weeks ago, and just wanted to say thank you for making a channel that is both active and relate-able. I have never lived iun Japan (Though I wish I did ;,;) You make me want to one day travel there, maybe even live there. Thanks for helping with my dream, but also for being real and super kind! I love ya both! Kydashing (Ky)
Hey Grace, super random question: what kind of greens were those that you tossed into the ramen? I'm looking to start growing greens and sprouts, so I'm looking for some recommendations
yo im weak she dead cut the grass from the plant nd threw it in the pot . but its nice to see people still plant and eat what they harvest and do stuff the nature way .
Here's a question- why do most Japanese homes not use cabinetry? Here in the states, everything goes in a cabinet or pantry out of sight and I see that your place doesn't have that. Is that just your place or Japanese homes in general? Thanks! Luv watching your videos! Hello from Washington DC!
Erin Fearns My kitchen has cabinets, but much fewer than an American kitchen. Well, the kitchen is just much smaller in general, of course! I also have a really nice, big built in pantry, but that's pretty rare. It's not uncommon to see Japanese kitchens with a lot of stuff sitting out due to lack of storage space. I would say that Grace's kitchen is really typical for a rental apartment. Newer condos and houses now days tend to have more up-to-date kitchen units with cabinets and a bit more counter space, and many people have an additional free standing hutch for storage as well.
fabulousprofound There was - but we realized by bottle was cheaper than the on-tap gas supply (and we would still have to buy something to convert the gas + a stove). The way we're doing it ended up about $200 cheaper (and would still work if there was an earthquake/natural disaster)
I miss these videos so much. There’s nothing more relaxing than taking a break from the pandemic news and watching day in the life videos with Grace.
Same
I wouldn't describe this video as boring. It feels charming and cozy.
You are very good at cooking real food meals.
Maybe one day I will find the willpower to cook decent food...
I'm sure Jun would help you learn.
Rachel & Jun Cooking real people food takes time (which sucks)... but, like, I also really like eating. Like, a lot. So it all evens out~
Texan in Tokyo me too. I love homemade food but it takes forever! That's why I make extras so I can have leftovers the next day and not have to cook :P
Cooking is tiring and sooo time consuming, but I also love to eat!! I cook on the weekends for the rest of the week and my husband and I eat the same during five days :P But I try to prepare a varied menu (soup, salad, a main dish and a dessert) so that we don't get bored.
Rachel & Jun You can do it! I believe in you! hahaha! ;3

Thank you for letting us into your life. We get to see all these private aspects and its so fun and interesting. You are a beautiful woman and you have such a genuine personality. Thank you for sharing with us!
I always come back to these videos! I hope they never delete them. To me they are healing...back at this time the World wasn't as crazy as nowadays
Don't worry Grace, none of your videos are boring. :)
I miss you Grace & Ryosuke. 🙁❤️ I've been repeatedly watching your videos for 3 yrs now. You're videos were one of my first viewed videos in TH-cam. I hope you're doing greater than ever. Hope to hear at least once in a while from you. Love you both!
wait... hand washing dishes isn't a thing anymore? I still do it.
+Ricardo Contreras No worries, we still do that all the time!
+Ricardo Contreras

+Paolo Stroligo Me too. I only use it for keeping or drying my plates..
in Ecuador only 5% (maybe less) of families have dishwashers in their households
Hi Grace and Ryosuke,
Thank you for making these lovely vlogs.
Life as a student can be quite stressful and boring, whenever I feel overwhelmed I just visit your channel.
Watching your vlogs reminds me how life can be simple and happy on the other side of the world. I'm living in Europe at the moment.
Thank you :)
Keep spreading positive energy !
Winston Koh Oh! Thank you! you just made my day!!
haha, when we feel overwhelmed, we visit our channel and go through nice/kind comments like yours! Thanks (Ryosuke)
😊
Those birds were crazy uniform. Like, they looked like they could have been part of the telephone lines lol
They're plotting our demise.
Elle Thomson They totally are.
amadofu I didn't even notice the birds I thought they were part of the lines...
belovedpeartree Right? I didn't know what she was talking about at first and then was like, "ooohhhhh those are living creatures lol"
Once I witnessed a similar thing but I had to go under the cables. For some reason they started making the most weird sound I've ever heard birds make, like cawing but they weren't crows, and they started moving from one cable to another nervously. Some even flew quite close to my head and went back up to the cables. There were so many they scared the crap out of me xD
Granted I don't like birds perse but that part of the video gave me flashbacks. Those birds were plotting something lol
LOL! The leek coming out from the plastic bag -- exactly the same as typically depicted in anime when someone goes to get groceries. Cute!
K Stash Some things from anime really happen :D
Aye sir
I love watching a day in my life videos. You really make it feel like we are there with you. Keep up the good work
Your eyes are beautiful...There is so much for the rest of the world to learn from Japan when it comes to efficiency. That stove is amazing
Those were birds!?Wow!They looked so evenly parted out and so organized on just that electrical wire (I guess birds in Japan are sophisticated haha :D)
For anyone watching this video years later and finding themselves confused: these are NOT birds. These are bird repellents. Search for "bird repellent attached to an electric wire" on google images and you will see some close-up photos of what they are. Mystery solved 🐦
I actually enjoy these videos and don't find them boring. I like watching your day to day life. Plus we get to learn how you write your books and such. We usually don't get to see how someone writes and deals with writers block and such. It's nice.
Grace, what are the greens that you put in your ramen?? Thanks
Could be watercress... but not totally sure.
Pea sprouts
andrew do the pea sprouts grow back once cut?
Kaiware
coriander
Omg, the birds were like perfectly aligned...
The remote control lights is probably the best feat on this episode...why don't we have it here. Awesome video, I love watching your videos. Thank you and Ryosuke so much!
I'm binge watching day in the life tnt videos. Miss you guys and I wish you all the best.
Even the birds are organised in Japan ! Haha^^ nice video~
I know right!!! I wanna go back to Japan sooo bad.
Awesomely edited video. Kind of inspiring .. loved the way you keep yourself occupied. Thanks for the video
So nice watching your videos, especially these ones of your daily routine. Your videos definitely help boost my spirits. Thank you and keep them coming.
brielle8383 You just made my day~! THANK YOU!
Yay!!

This was surprisingly therapeutic to watch
I love your day in the life videos, I find them so relaxing to watch when I'm getting ready. I think you have inspired me to try and make one!
How often do you typically go to the grocery store? I notice that when you buy groceries, its like one bag of items. In america when we go, its like 10 bags and a 'see how many you can carry at one time from the car to the house' challenge.
Jessica P We go there every other day I think. We like to buy fresh vegetables! (Ryosuke)
+Texan in Tokyo Fresh Veggies are awesome. I love going to the farmers market here in Texas. It's always nice to see what's in season.

Really enjoy watching your Day In My Life videos, they are fun to watch ^.^ You should do them more often.
Hope you and Ryosuke are well, I enjoy waiting for new videos
Only started watching this channel a few weeks ago, and it is surprisingly relaxing to watch.
May I know what kind of sprout/plant were you growing 3:05? Which you eventually cook it in your noodle :D
I learned about you from your collabs with Rachel and Jun. You and Ryosuke are so adorable together that I couldn't help but subscribe.
TheOkamiFang Thanks for finding us! We are rare pokemons (Ryosuke)
I check to see your show everyotherday, so excited u can a few more videos out. your working hard girl! thnx GRACE
omg, I started humming when you were cooking too
I am fairly sure i have watched about 30 of your videos over the last week and devoured both of your comic books yesterday. I may be developing a problem LOL. You and your husband are adorable together!! Cannot wait for book 3.
Natasha Brown AWWW thank you so much! I really hope you would like my books~! :)
japanese birds sit on that wire thing at almost equal distance from each other. That's amazing.
Mondoshawn that's not a real bird
Oh, you are right
just found your channel. I've wanted to go to Japan since a child and I finally have a trip in the works. watching you, a fellow American, has made me yearn even more! it almost makes me cry.
Those greens looks really cool, how often do you harvest them? What are they called? Are they easy to grow?
the kitchen, the camping stove, and the mirror,,,,,, how often do you clean them?
Man, I wished I lived in a place where it was easy to get simple, fresh foods. So envious!
Go to a shithole in rural midwest and you'll find all the simplicity and fresh foods you're looking for.
Hahaha, nice name you picked. I think you've told us everything we need to know about you already.
I love the little extract of your comics I have seen on your page.
I didn't grow up with a dishwasher, or at least not until I was a teenager. I honestly find that for myself or even up to 3 people it's just more expedient to wash by hand, since you usually have to clean the dishes before loading the washer anyway. I also work as a baker and that means washing a lot of dishes myself as well so I'm fast at it, lots of practice.
Not to mention that I live in California where we have a serious water crisis so you use less water washing in a 2-basin sink by hand than you would in most any washer (again, depending how many people are making dishes). Every little bit counts, saving a few gallons from dishes each week really adds up.
Pretty awesome! Really mellow, yet creative way to stay productive!
THE BIRDSSS. Why were they all evenly spaced...weird! I just finished watching a show called "zoo" about animals fighitng back against humanity... which involved birds taking out electrics. Reminded me of that. lol.
What is the instrumental music in the background that starts at 1:20 p.m.? I like it lol
Just got your books in the mail from Amazon:) Thank you for drawing them! Also it seems that you produce them faster than Amazon ships them.
Great outfit :). Also I find your videos of everyday life really relaxing and it motivates me to not be afraid to live a normal relaxing life.
Can tell you miss Ryosuke A LOT from this video, poor Grace...
Hope I am able to experience Japan soon!
Thank you for your videos! Really love watching all of them.
Ganbatte! *support support*
Okinawa! Yay! Can't wait to see your videos. I'm dreaming go there. Maybe I can get to go in a couple of years, now that I'm finishing university. Can you tell if is it expensive?
I like the real life vibe you have in your videos, in contrast with other videos that I see where they raise life expectations like eating things only from plates and not a pan xD which I totally understand ahahah
You're so motivating and I love your positive energy. Keep the vlogs going and keep smiling :)
Love these videos. It's always interesting how others spend their days. Great ideas. Yay 🐧
Hi! I love your channel! I'm originally from Dallas, but live in Chicago now. It's so fun to watch your adventures in Japan. That Ramen looks amazing. I may try to copy it. What kind of greens were those that you snipped and threw in? Was it cilantro? Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
Good question! I wondered if they were pea shoots. Such a good idea either way.Laurilue13
Laurilue13 They were like tiny sprouts. Like of like green sprouts.
what ever you made for lunch looked sooo good. Great video
I love your daily vlogs :D never stop doing them
What's that green sprouting thing that you are growing? I wanna plant those too.
so interesting. The noodle soup and coffee for breakfast is odd, but I understand... different customs. I love the idea of house shoes vs outdoor shoes, but in my home it's just not practical. Do you still make/eat traditional American foods??
Sorry if this has been asked before, but what are those sprouts that you cut for breakfast? Do they grow back again, or do you have to plant new seeds? It looks good! Thanks.
belovedpeartree It looks like watercress to me. You just cut off the top and it will grow back in a few days. It grows really fast :)
I am so jealous of your pink coffee maker.
i'm going to use this to motivate myself to finish my schoolwork! you were so productive, i feel ashamed of myself.
and it's so lovely to see how much affection you have for your husband! ^-^
Do you ever miss a western type breakfast: cereal, toast etc? I love Asian and Indian food but I'm not sure that I could get used to eating it for breakfast.
nickynoodles81 I can get western breakfast here - and I do eat it a couple times a week. But when I made this video, I was basically all out of ALL of my supplies. Hahaha.

This wasn't boring at all! :)
Very interesting to see how other people live, especially outside of the US.
FreyaBunny19 Thanks! Glad to know!
That's a good idea moving around to keep from getting bored. That's one down side to working on a desktop is you can't really move it. Some time if I'm working on a smaller project I take my laptop to Starbucks to work so i don't go stir crazy.

Thank you for this enlightening glimpse into your life in Japan. What kind of work do you actually do?
Cheers,
I see your cooking gas comes in a little canister.
Could you get line gas (the kind that comes out of a pipe in the ground, like we have in Texas) if you wanted it?
The microgreen you cut off and put it in your noodles, what type of sprout is it?
Your lunch/dinner looked so yummy! :D especially since I just woke up and haven't eaten breakfast yet....thanks for another awesome vid, Grace!~ :)
Absolutely everything about this is so holy carp cute. There needs to be more women like you in the world.
I've seen those plants on Japanese TV programs and I've been wanting to get them! The ones you have in your kitchen. What are they called and where do you buy them?
germanium9 It's called 豆苗(Toumyou), I usually get one at a grocery store. less than $1 though!
I wash all my dishes by hand still, and I live in Michigan. I've never owned a dishwasher, and I find them kind of pointless. You have to wash the dishes before you put them in to be washed.. I'll pass on that.
I really like the sort of double-wide sink thing going on there. I have a split sing=k, but just having one really big one would be fantastic.
What are those green grasses at 2:11 ? How do you grow those and are those safe?
Loving your videos ♡ if you don't mind what kind of greens did you gave growing in your kitchen?
I'd love to know the recipe to the meal at 5.50 - I don't know what those seasonings you list are!
I'd love to see more food dishes that you guys make on a regular basis
wow those birds are spaced perfectly between each other. Even the birds so disciplined in japan
I have a dishwasher. But it broke 2 years ago and I've been just Wayyy too lazy to get it repaired. I just use it for extra storage now haha!
I love these days in your life!! I work from home too and I can totally relate!!
***** Hahahaha, yay. I'm glad to hear!
I was curious, what do you do for work over there in Japan?
I also work "from home" but I usually go to a library because if I stay home I get really distracted with other stuff :P
flea0309 Ahhhh, I wish there was a library near us. That would be wonderful.
Texan in Tokyo Yeah! Libraries are awesome :)
Even the birds sitting on wires in Japan are polite and sit spaced out a proper distance. A kind of kebab for a big kitty like Toby here don't you agree?
+momkatmax lol.. I actually giggled, well.. more like smirked grinned then slightly laughed audibly.
Just subscribed today and love you guys! I live in San Antonio Texas and you are not boring. find it facinating
Where did you get those film roll photos behind you in 0:54 great vlogs btw thanks
Love your videos, have you thought of doing something with recipes? Your dishes look simple, quick and delicious!
I love that you use a stand-up desk. (my words are failing me right now). I wish I could be brave enough to work from home! Maybe once my man gets a job here I can tart looking into it hahaha XD
Your cellphone is super cute ^^ I love the older design phones
Older video, but I have been confused by all the kitchens. Are they all normally one burner with no large oven, or is it just because smaller apartments for singles/couples?

i too have a very small kitchen. But i really love how you have it setup!
yo im weak she dead cut the grass from the plant nd threw it in the pot . but its nice to see people still plant and eat what they harvest and do stuff the nature way .
Keep up the great work!
Here's a question- why do most Japanese homes not use cabinetry? Here in the states, everything goes in a cabinet or pantry out of sight and I see that your place doesn't have that. Is that just your place or Japanese homes in general? Thanks! Luv watching your videos! Hello from Washington DC!
Erin Fearns Honestly, I'm not sure. I think people just buy their own cabinetry (and our place happens to not really have a huge kitchen)
Erin Fearns My kitchen has cabinets, but much fewer than an American kitchen. Well, the kitchen is just much smaller in general, of course! I also have a really nice, big built in pantry, but that's pretty rare. It's not uncommon to see Japanese kitchens with a lot of stuff sitting out due to lack of storage space. I would say that Grace's kitchen is really typical for a rental apartment. Newer condos and houses now days tend to have more up-to-date kitchen units with cabinets and a bit more counter space, and many people have an additional free standing hutch for storage as well.
Neat! Thanks for sharing. Always interesting to learn how others live around the world. :)
there is no hard connection for gas supply? everything has to be done by bottle?
fabulousprofound There was - but we realized by bottle was cheaper than the on-tap gas supply (and we would still have to buy something to convert the gas + a stove). The way we're doing it ended up about $200 cheaper (and would still work if there was an earthquake/natural disaster)
Texan in Tokyo that makes sense when you explain it that way... hm.
