  1. I often wonder if this would be good therapy for somebody with obsessive compulsive disorder?

  2. I love that the traditional tool literally just translates to "triangle stick"

  3. Cool, it's kinda like marzipan / almond paste sweets in Europe, but with bean paste and mochi instead!

  4. I really want to know her opinion of the anime – Deaimon: Recipe for Happiness

  5. I like overdubbed English rather than subtitles. I had to watch it a couple times to really appreciate the visuals and fully understand what was going on.

  6. Wow, how amazing! I love watching videos that show how intricate other cuisines can be.
    This is honestly art! Edible art is the best for sure! 🙂

  7. You can tell how refined her experience is by eyeballing a portion onto the scale and being off her target weight by 1 gram.

  8. Will there be other videos about tea ceremony?
    It's a topic I always found very fascinating
