@MrsEats. I HEARD SOMETHING TRULY DISTURBING TODAY. I didn't believe it, but I wanted to verify it with you! If anyone knows, it's @MrsEats. Someone is trying to tell me that the ABSOLUTELY disgusting practice of Chinese to collect and use "gutter oil" is ALSO a thing in Japan? I have to know!!
During my recent trip to Japan I was amazed how big the bathtubs actually were. Was the first time I took an actual bath instead of a shower in years. I’m proud to say, it didn’t kill me.
I like how this channel tells it as it is, with humor and very useful facts, instead of promoting and distorting reality like jp is some kind of utopia like most other channels do.
@MrsEats Yes, me too, I've visited jp many times. I simple grew tired of the long list of channels that promote jp like a utopia. Your channel is so grounded, funny and in touch with reality.
Yeah, those kerosene heaters… at first everyone is really careful to maintain good ventilation. But gradually people start to see then as benign and ‘forget’ to open a window or door, because comfort takes precedence over danger, I guess. That was how it was with my family, anyway. But then last year we finally rebuilt our home, and now we have central heating! So no more kerosene OR freezing to death in the winter! (Now the only thing I have to worry about is paying off that bank loan. 😅)
This explains why my mother couldn't eat rice, without getting very constipated and getting a lot of gut pain. I always thought she just had trouble with fiber, but it was only rice that she complained about.
@@MrsEatsI am gluten intolerant. Started age 5. Diagnosed age 48. Arthritis, chronic constipation, bloating, white pimples on arms. Ate more Allbran as a child than most eat in a lifetime. The cure was the cause. Rice is often sold as gluten free, but it isn't. All grass products have their own version of gluten. Rice has the least of its version. A celiac friend has the worse problems from rice.
Thanks. If I ever come to Japan, I will be careful eating mochi and taking a bath. Don't think I'd ever use the heater, we used to have them in Scotland, but I couldn't stand the smell. Think they've been banned now, bit surprised to hear Japan still allows them.
There is a product called LifeVac that is an emergency suction device for people who are choking. Sounds like it could save the lives of many elderly Japanese. Thanks for the entertaining and informative video!
As an american I’ve been conditioned to panic whenever somebody suggests bringing a portable heater inside because I’ve read too many stories about houses burning down from them. I think seeing a kerosene heater in a house in japan would make me run outside, and seeing somebody refilling a kerosene heater would probably give me a stress aneurism. Flammable materials do NOT fuck around and will fuck back if you don’t respect it.
mochi is so delicious but i didn't know about it blocking your intestines! i need to be careful when i eat it.. not to eat too much. that's really difficult because it's so good! 😂
I'm very sensitive to chemical smells, like your brother-in-law. I feel very sick whenever I'm at a gas station, or nail salon, or a place that sells car tires or plant fertilizers. My blood sugar spikes very high (I'm diabetic), and I become dizzy and nauseous. I guess it's important to know that kerosene heaters may do the same thing!
I am old and managed to watch through the mochi going down the moist throat demo, then just fell out laughing. Oh my, literally laughed so much I teared up.
My grandmother used to use a kerosene heater when I was little. I remember the smell made the whole house stink but I don't think I ever got sick from it. Maybe because we had it in the kitchen and the fumes had space to spread out. But since only the kitchen was heated the bedrooms were so cold in winter. At least I had plenty of blankets to keep me warm, which was great until I had to go to the bathroom and sit on the frozen toilet seat. The only time we used one after I was grown is when an ice storm took out our electricity. I wonder if I still have it stored away somewhere?
I'm from south América, it's so fun to watch explain about estufas (heaters), and how dangerous it could be if used wrongly. I remember a brand of Japan heaters got really popular some years ago, even if they were quite expensive
I'm very surprised that rooms need to be individually heated in Japan. I've always assumed that combi air con/heating units and reversible heat pumps were the norm, given that I've seen a lot of units from Japanese brands such as Fujitsu, Daikin and Mitsubishi. Also, those weird toilets are also encountered in France, though they are getting rare due to influence from neighbouring countries, where normal sit-down types are now more common than the older 'stand-and-deliver' toilets, as we tend to call them in the UK.
You have to pay for each mini split unit so many Japanese only have one or 2 in the bedroom or another heavily used room. Some have that heated table to eat at.
Lesson learned, always chew unless it's an sausage. Too bad winter is either kotatsu or ganbarre. Here in Netherlands people are overheating in summer because the houses are too well isolated sometimes 😂
11:04 Of course! If you're not used to kerosene fumes the stuff stink can make your stomach sick quickly. I remember it at some houses back in Argentina.
In some Japanese Anime that I've seen, they use a small electric heater under a table which is covered by a blanket. You sit around the table with your legs under the blanket to warm up. NO fumes, and no sickness and / or death. Right?
As for drowning in bathtubs, not many people take baths in the US. Even the "bath people" I've known still hardly take one bath a week. People in the US prefer showers because its quick and doesn't require as much cleaning. With a shower you can just spray some bleach and then take another shower and everything gets washed down the drain.
AAAAAAAAHHHHH I can't with this video, I'm glad no one was home for the mochi section... You seem so innocent and then you hit me with that spicy humor x'D
I understand half of Japan is wired like the US, and the other half is wired like Europe. Even the low voltage American outlets deliver enough power to make electric heaters extremely dangerous. These things should never be left unattended when running at a high power level.
As someone with an extremely sensitive sense of smell I can agree with the beefy BIL. The smell of a kero heater gets to me after a while, and a stuffy CO rich atmosphere does make me sick to my stomach long before anyone else. @MrsEats How common/numerous are Carbon Monoxide detectors in Japanese homes? Over here (USA) they recommend one in the furnace room or where combustion is happening, as well as one central to sleeping spaces, much like the smoke detectors, although they really are not mandated.
Watching Japanese TH-camrs with perfect English is also perfect for me when I go to Japan soon. So all of the videos are going to be my guides in the country and I love it! And I can use them as references.
Definitely helps if you can say hello, please and thank you in Japanese. Just be very polite and courteous and you will have a good time and you will leave a good impression on the Japanese people as well.
I have achalasia, which means my throat muscles don't work properly. I love mochi! But because of my condition (and how the symptoms can only be managed, never cured), I have to be especially careful as well as mindful that there'll be a day where I can no longer have it. I'm only 31, and I'm going to enjoy eating mochi (carefully!) for as long as I can
Oh Mrs. Eats, you and that sausage humor... Keep that up! XD When I was a kid to mid-teen, I liked bathtubs (with the same narrow and shallow tub) cause of how comfortable it is especially pouring soap for a bubble bath, but when you grow up. Adjusting your posture in the bathtub can look awkward and uncomfortable. Of course that always depends on the size of the tub. Now that I'm grown, I'm used to like showers with LED lights on. Drowning-related bathtubs is not what scares me. Electrocution is. I've seen some people who are disorganized slobs put something electronic like a curling iron nearby the bathtub ledge. I was like... oh my god! I quickly removed it and put the curling iron down in the counter sink. That's why I'm paranoid about this. Please everyone, before a bath. Always check anything electronic nearby or in the tub and put it away as far as possible.
10:28 Thankfully, Americans moved away from those heaters, but the ceramic space heaters have their own dangers as well. I prefer the sealed oil-filled heaters that look like radiators. They take a little longer to heat up a room, but they are much safer to use.
@MrsEats I'd love to see a video on common Japanese ghost stories and or urban legends you were told when growing up in Japan. For example, I grew up in Hawaii and I'd hear the well known stories about Night Marchers, The Faceless Lady, The Kasha house of Kaimuki, and Pele. What are some urban legends/ghost stories you remember from Japan?
There's some places here in the US that still use wood burning stoves for heat, I used to live in a house with a wood burning stove, those can be very dangerous if you don't get the creosote (chemical building from burning wood) cleaned from your exhaust ventilation system, the creosote can built up and fall out of the exhaust system and cause fires, my family learned this the hard way, fortunately we weren't inside when that happened we just noticed the flickering of fire in the living room and realized the house was on fire, so we immediately called the fire department, it was the firemen who told us it was cause by a buildup of creosote. When I was much younger we'd gotten out gas service shut off for not paying the bill, for a few months we heated our living room with a kerosene heater, the fumes never bothered me.
No central heating or central air sounds like misery (and it is because I've lived it). I don't care what the cost is - I am happy to pay it to be comfortable!
Correction: central heating/air means a system that is run through vents in the house. Nowadays there are a ton of options like space heaters, wall mounted heaters, window ACs and heat exchangers. Whether or not those are allowed by a landlord is a whole other issue. In many cases these systems can be more efficient and are almost always way cheaper At least here in the US there are laws forcing landlords to provide heat. Also fortunately or unfortunately, due to it getting so much hotter every year, some states have laws that prohibit landlords from prohibiting window AC units
Hello Mrs Eats. My American history book says that kerosene heaters were often used in wilderness cabins in the 19th century before electrical power plants and central heating was invented.
Japanse tubs might be relatively deep but they can also be rather small especially if you live in an apartment. I always used to wish the tubs were bigger
I actually like the squatting toilet concept because squatting is much easier than sitting. I don't have my own home or I would try and get something like that installed in my bathroom.
"They end up passing out and having an unfortunate fate." Cannot help but to think of the Happy Mask Salesman saying "You've met with a terrible fate haven't you?"
The lack of an insulation regiment in Japanese home's baffles me. Japan has been high tech/high quality of living in many regards yet it seems oblivious that a well insulated home is cheaper and safer than running a myriad of chemical or electric room heaters constantly. With Japan experiencing Frigid Winters and often Hot Summers one would think Japanese people would insist on the value that is both home insulation as well as Central Heating and Cooling. In the long run you save more $$$ and the quality of life is elevated.
Squatty caveman crappers, perfect explanation. They are still quite common in many train stations. I wish they gave us a nice grab bar rather than the water pipe. And some free toilet paper would be nice. It is still better than the toilets featured in “Slumdog Millionaire “, a fantastic movie btw!
Mrs. Eats, did you know that many Americans think squat toilets are best for the body, and that there are products that try (unsuccessfully IMO) to simulate the squatting position on an upright toilet? A case of the greener grass, I guess. But if you're constipated from mochi, a washiki may be just what you need. Just the other day, I finally gave up on my dream of fitting my bathroom with a Japanese style deep soak tub. The ones we can get here are just too big for my small bathroom. Maybe this saved my life, since I'm older. I guess the shallow, useless bathtub will be replaced with a nice, safe walk-in shower. When I want a bath, I'll just go to the neighborhood sento...I wish. The kinds of bathhouses we have here are not for a peaceful soak. They are for...if you have a throat like Mr. Eat's.
I love Mochi but I heard this too. The mochi is different because its really chewy. And it gets stuck in peoples throat if they dont chew it enough. And I heard its mainly senior citizens.
I remember using a kerosene heater as a kid. My family was more poor back then so we didn't have the money to build in a heater or a/c for the house. I'm from the United States. Sometimes the heater smelled pretty bad so we had to turn it off and either just take a hot bath or wrap ourselves in blankets. My new home has a heater and a/c already built in so I don't have to live in the 2000's anymore. (Plus the state I live in now is way more affordable.)
Americans used to have lovely claw-foot deep bathtubs back in the day. When I was young, this was the case. But since most people shower, the new baths installed are little more than to keep the water from splashing out onto the floor. Of course you can buy nice deep tubs, but expect to pay a bit of money for it.
My Korean mom always warned me about eating cooked bony fish, because of the sharp needle bones. I wonder if Japanese have similar problems with cooked bony fish needles.
Spending whole winters on kerosene heating is also so depressing! No wonder the high rate of suicides in Japan. The pulling between the demand to excel and be best at jobs and the depressing use of kerosene causes that. Does Japan not have gas deposits where they can extract gas and use it to heat water in water tanks at homes for heating? That hot water can go through pipes inside the walls of the house and release the heat through vents. They work with thermostats installed on the wall.
I love those Aloe Vera Drinks with Watermelon or Pomegranate. Do have those in Japan, too? Oh hey, I lately got to know about the kerosine heaters from another channel! So this is why in Resident Evil Remake the characters say "There's still Kersoine left!" - For western people this is kind of creepy because we don't heat with Kerosine, we only use it as fuel for... airplanes... O_O Very nice to here from you and many greetings from Germany. You should connect with the TH-camrs Hiro (from channel "Einfach Japanisch") and Kevin (from channel "Nihongo"). A japanese who lives in germany and a german who lives in Japan. :D
I hate our shallow baths. If you're lucky you can find an apartment that still has an old fashioned claw foot bathtub. Those are so much better. Can fill those high and has a sloping back so you can lay back and relax comfortably.
Uh…. Mrs eats, can I ask you something, I was watching this Japanese kids show called Go Busters and during one episode, one of the characters literally shouted “Oh Shit!” an d that really surprised and confused me, so I was wonder if you could make a video on the difference between kids tv show in Japan and in other foreign countries ?
What do you do about the kerosene heaters when you are sleeping? Seems like your only options are sleep with the window open, turn it off or wake up every hour. None of these seems remotely appealing.

Someone is trying to tell me that the ABSOLUTELY disgusting practice of Chinese to collect and use "gutter oil" is ALSO a thing in Japan?
I have to know!!
The sausage example killed me. My only disappointment was that we didn't get a Mr. Eats reaction 😂
He was too busy in the background swallowing the rest of the sausages and white sticky stuff. Like a pro.
I laughed out loud. That was hilarious.
I simply cannot tell whether to take this as disturbing innuendo or just a purely child-like description...
That was priceless!

@0:10 I want a Japanese tub! American tubs are tiny~
Hello Mrs Eats. My American history book says that kerosene heaters were often used in wilderness cabins in the 19th century before electrical power plants and central heating was invented.
Japanse tubs might be relatively deep but they can also be rather small especially if you live in an apartment. I always used to wish the tubs were bigger

I actually like the squatting toilet concept because squatting is much easier than sitting. I don't have my own home or I would try and get something like that installed in my bathroom.
Children drowning in bathtubs accidents also happen here in the US as well. Really sad.

Japan has been high tech/high quality of living in many regards yet it seems oblivious that a well insulated home is cheaper and safer than running a myriad of chemical or electric room heaters constantly. With Japan experiencing Frigid Winters and often Hot Summers one would think Japanese people would insist on the value that is both home insulation as well as Central Heating and Cooling. In the long run you save more $$$ and the quality of life is elevated.
"Caveman crappers" LMAO 😂
Squatty caveman crappers, perfect explanation. They are still quite common in many train stations. I wish they gave us a nice grab bar rather than the water pipe. And some free toilet paper would be nice. It is still better than the toilets featured in “Slumdog Millionaire “, a fantastic movie btw!
Mrs. Eats, did you know that many Americans think squat toilets are best for the body, and that there are products that try (unsuccessfully IMO) to simulate the squatting position on an upright toilet? A case of the greener grass, I guess. But if you're constipated from mochi, a washiki may be just what you need.
Just the other day, I finally gave up on my dream of fitting my bathroom with a Japanese style deep soak tub. The ones we can get here are just too big for my small bathroom. Maybe this saved my life, since I'm older. I guess the shallow, useless bathtub will be replaced with a nice, safe walk-in shower. When I want a bath, I'll just go to the neighborhood sento...I wish. The kinds of bathhouses we have here are not for a peaceful soak. They are for...if you have a throat like Mr. Eat's.
Try looking into walk-in bathtubs, they are typically much deeper. Cheers
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious. Your throat example (sausage, white sticky stuff, then finger...)
Poor Mr. Eats.😸
So mochi is like a chewing gum 🤔🤔
Kind of haha!! But much tastier!!
I love Mochi but I heard this too. The mochi is different because its really chewy. And it gets stuck in peoples throat if they dont chew it enough. And I heard its mainly senior citizens.
Mrs Eats TH-cam channel is a very dangerous yet very good treat.😂❤
Mr Eats getting thrown under the bus😂! Much love to both you all❤
I remember using a kerosene heater as a kid. My family was more poor back then so we didn't have the money to build in a heater or a/c for the house. I'm from the United States. Sometimes the heater smelled pretty bad so we had to turn it off and either just take a hot bath or wrap ourselves in blankets. My new home has a heater and a/c already built in so I don't have to live in the 2000's anymore. (Plus the state I live in now is way more affordable.)
If food ever gets stuck in my throat, I drink water and do a handstand attempting to cough. I have yet to find something this doesn’t work on.
We have deadly spiders, snakes, sharks and crocodiles ..... And your worst thing is a warm bath. Packing my bags and moving to Japan :) 🤔😆🤣
that low tec squatting bathroom is good for your health
Americans used to have lovely claw-foot deep bathtubs back in the day. When I was young, this was the case. But since most people shower, the new baths installed are little more than to keep the water from splashing out onto the floor. Of course you can buy nice deep tubs, but expect to pay a bit of money for it.
My Korean mom always warned me about eating cooked bony fish, because of the sharp needle bones. I wonder if Japanese have similar problems with cooked bony fish needles.
I just can't with the sausage...! 😂😂😂
Mrs. Eats you're crazy but I still love you. ❤
I think I'm actually afraid of mochi now! Thank you Mrs Eats~!
Chew well or cut it small when you eat! I love mochi☺️
@@MrsEats Will do!
@@AnxiousGary When I hear or see the word mochi I think of my favorite Japanese teacher Mochi Sensei who also has a channel here on TH-cam.
Spending whole winters on kerosene heating is also so depressing! No wonder the high rate of suicides in Japan. The pulling between the demand to excel and be best at jobs and the depressing use of kerosene causes that.
Does Japan not have gas deposits where they can extract gas and use it to heat water in water tanks at homes for heating? That hot water can go through pipes inside the walls of the house and release the heat through vents. They work with thermostats installed on the wall.
I love those Aloe Vera Drinks with Watermelon or Pomegranate. Do have those in Japan, too? Oh hey, I lately got to know about the kerosine heaters from another channel! So this is why in Resident Evil Remake the characters say "There's still Kersoine left!" - For western people this is kind of creepy because we don't heat with Kerosine, we only use it as fuel for... airplanes... O_O Very nice to here from you and many greetings from Germany. You should connect with the TH-camrs Hiro (from channel "Einfach Japanisch") and Kevin (from channel "Nihongo"). A japanese who lives in germany and a german who lives in Japan. :D
6:11 this is so sad to hear 😢
Mrs Eats and the sausage innuendo! 😏 There are others and you can’t tell me they’re accidental. 👍🏻😁
I hate our shallow baths. If you're lucky you can find an apartment that still has an old fashioned claw foot bathtub. Those are so much better. Can fill those high and has a sloping back so you can lay back and relax comfortably.
😆🤣🥰 I love your channel Mrs Eats. Thank you for another great video.
Mr. Eats: "Honey, please not the sausage..." 🤣
Ahhh, the morbid content I crave 😅🙏🏻 LMAO
This content can KILL you!!
"Squatty caveman crapper" is a phrase I need to work into my regular conversations somehow.
Uh…. Mrs eats, can I ask you something, I was watching this Japanese kids show called Go Busters and during one episode, one of the characters literally shouted “Oh Shit!” an d that really surprised and confused me, so I was wonder if you could make a video on the difference between kids tv show in Japan and in other foreign countries ?
Mrs. Eats...you sly minx. 🤭
😂😂
What do you do about the kerosene heaters when you are sleeping? Seems like your only options are sleep with the window open, turn it off or wake up every hour. None of these seems remotely appealing.
3:10 - Tampopo? 😂😂
