i like this channel because it’s like seeing an old friend. you don’t know when your going to see them next, but when you do, you know it’ll be a comforting experience
Congratulations on being able to monetize your channel and being featured on Hong Kong television. It was so sweet seeing Pancake using Jesse's palm as a pillow. Merry Christmas to you both, and Pancake too
In Portugal we eat persimmons in autumn, it is very common. For them to taste good they have to mature a lot and take on an almost rotten and very soft appearance, they are delicious!
Yeah! Congrats, and thx for sharing. So funny when you ate the bitter persimmon. :-) And the wood burning fireplace, sooo comforting. Someday, someday ...
Yay! So excited for you, Jesse and Pancake!🎉 Thank you for sharing your daily routines and adventures with us. Such a different and interesting life than what us city dwellers are used to.😍
Love all your content! Thanks for sharing! My family and I live in a small mountainvillage in northern Italy called Sarnthein and we also have persimmons. If you pick them after the first frost and then let them ripen, they taste sweet and fruity. Enjoy
Huge congratulations on your milestone! So looking forward to your new videos in the coming year! Pancake is so adorable. My husband and I have a Newfoundland (weighing in at 162 lbs lol!). Anyway, just a big thank you for your videos!
Congratulations on your new visa status. I feel "Finally" that feeling. Persimmon drying skill improvement is your 2024 goal. Have a wonderful end of the year week and look forward to seeing your new content.
Been so happy to follow your progress in Japan and with us on TH-cam. You and your wonderful family have brought warmth and peace as you work on building a life in the countryside. I wish for continued blessings and thank you for every video.
Pancake has gotten so big! I’m also drying persimmons over here in Southern California, we have a fuyu variety which is good on its own but I really prefer them dried. Key is doing it when you know the next few days are going to be really dry, really helps make the protective skin. I dry mine inside near a window with an air purifier…I think the air purifier helps but also it’s just there because it’s my room lol. Maybe better luck next year.
I’m happy to hear this will be a worthwhile thing for you to keep on doing. It’s very soothing to watch and listen and wonder, always about other lives that could have been lived. In this episode, aside from beautiful images, I really like the editing at the beginning as you set the camera up, sit down and have tea while you voice over, and then show yourself coming back to turn the camera off. I also really liked seeing the visiting tv crew at work, watched how you two behave in front of someone else’s camera, watch the exchanges as you do normal activities in an abnormal setting. Also, hi to Pancake, that’s a Very Good Dog.
So glad to hear the news. Others try to post about akiya homes, however, yours is the best channel, production, videos that show reverence for countryside balanced with sharing your lives. Have missed getting news! Happy Holidays.👏💕🙂PS -- Pancake is big enough to be a souffle!🐕
Been watching since the beginning and had no idea you didn't get a share on the videos, congratulations for this new chapter and can't wait to see what's to come
Congratulations! Love all your contents. They all help me forget my distress and worries of daily life. Your videos give me peace and comfort. And thank you for rescuing Pancake ❤ I love seeing him in all the videos. His adorable personality gives me lots of happiness! I just love him so dearly 😊
Just found you today & watched a number of the experiences you have shared. First, grats on the visa & all that comes with it, but the real reason I brought myself to comment is because I'm curious if you or any of your neighbors preserve/can any excess from the growing season for use during the winter & early spring.
Congratulations Mica.. so excited to see new videos.. And Pancake is getting older. I have a vlog request. Please can you do a paddy farming vlog. It will help me to show my students regarding Japanese paddy farming techniques.
My wife is from Shikoku. I visited there a few times where her parents lived in Sukumo. I know of the heat and humidity there. I really like the countryside much more than the cities (I lived in Osaka for one year), although I did like Kyoto and Kobe. My mother is from Kyushu, just walking distance from Hakata Bay. I have childhood memories (early 60s) of digging clams there, and then having steamed clams for supper. Anyway, your videos bring back many memories. I subscribed in anticipation of many more videos from the both of you.
Congrats on the news. The persimmon is an amazing fruit. Im growing a few American varieties at my house and after the first frost they become much better eating. It's too cold for the Japanese variety where I live otherwise they'd be growing as well. Good luck in the future. There's no better place to be a blacksmith than in Japan, imo. Thanks for a link to the Hong Kong show for us to watch.
Hello, selamat pagi 🙋means good morning in Malay..so it's might be a clue that I'm your new subscriber from Malaysia...start watching you yesterday,read about you and continue watch your videos this morning... I liked it all.. 💪.. Have a good day!
Congratulations on your success! I enjoy your storytelling, very much. On a side note, Pancake is a very ‘oral-curious’ pup! Looking forward to your story further unfolding in 2024!
Congratulations , Perhaps some neighbors would be willing to share some of their country skills on , on video, with you guys and all of us. Happy Holidays😉
I just spotted your channel on Christmas morning in Thailand and been loving watching your content over a nice coffee. I’m now a subscriber, looking forward to your journey into 2024.🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing a little slice of your autumn life with us! And thank you for making donating to your channel easy with the links in the description =D
That is so cool you got to be on Hong Kong tv. That has to be one of the best experiences, What a great opportunity. This was a great video. Hope to see more of these soon.
I have mad respect for you, Jesse, and Pancake. I will also pray to the Gods or God that you three have a splendid future in this coming year. I appreciate traditional Japanese culture. I don't know the language very much but I love the culture and the traditional ways things are done out in the countryside. I also prefer traditional Japanese housing over modern though. Either way Congratulations on being able to monetize your channel and I look forward to seeing you, your partner Jesse, and Pancake thrive out in the Japanese countryside.
