    I’m just starting to get caught up on your videos, and I was really excited about this one since I went to Aomori last year. Seeing the familiar scenery is really nice, maybe I’ll go check out your food tour video soon! And this ferry is lovely, I thought about taking the reverse trip for next summer until you told us the times 😢
    And I was really worried for some reason that your curry bun would sell out after you left it the first time. Glad it didn’t! And that reminds me, I moved for school and there’s a place nearby that sells really good curry buns. I’ll have to go have one soon!

    Curious, at 14:37 onwards, you microwaved your food with the plastic covering still intact - my assumption is that the plastic materials used for packaging these foods are microwavable, is this correct? If so, then that'something new to me as I usually remove the packaging first, down to only the actual microwavable container.
