Hi Yasuko, this video was delightful! My husband and I just returned from a 3 week trip to Japan and S. Korea - we spent 4 days in Tokyo, then went on a cruise from Yokohama to Seoul, and finished up with 5 days in Seoul. We want to go back to Japan again - we have 5 more years left on our Pasmo cards!😊(We visited Japan in 2019.) It was very hot and humid - it looks like Niigata was perfect though. We spent a day in Kyoto with Hiromi, who lived with us here in Canada as a high school student over 20 years ago - we were her host family. She has a family of her own now and it was so nice to see a couple of the kids again. We also went to the supermarket and picked up some Japanese items - mainly dashi packs and kombu; I'd like to start making miso soup more often. We really love watching your videos and are happy for you that you got to spend time at home with your family!
Hello 👋, sounds like you had a fun trip travelling around all over! The great thing about Niigata is that it is less hot and humid than Tokyo and other southern cities and it also has some really nice shrines and other attractions that are not busy at all compared to places like Kyoto. I recommend it next time you get a chance to go to Japan! 😊 That's so nice that you got to spend a day with her even though you were her host family 20 years ago, she must have been pleased! Glad you got chance to get things from Japanese supermarket, I love the quality there and picked up so much! Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching! 🥰
Looking forward to seeing more of your vacation. Aside from sightseeing, good ramen, Japan also is safer for eating sushi. It's great that you'll be able to cook with products you are getting there!😋
Yasuko, thank you so much for sharing your trip!! It brings back lovely memories from my own travels to Japan ❤ Seeing your son enjoy the big playground and the delicious meals was so lovely, I'm glad you were able to go visit your family and your hometown! The ginger ramen looked so delicious and I enjoyed seeing the different museums you visited. It is so great that your grandmother is still in good health, she must have been so happy to see you and your son ☺ I hope you can rest after your travels!
Glad you enjoyed watching our trip to Japan, it was a lot of fun and I already miss it 🥺. Yes the ginger ramen was so good! My husband jokes that it's a healthier version of ramen because a lot of places have fatty broth. Thank you for your comment, I hope you are doing well and the weather is still good. Although not as warm we came back to sunshine and the colour of the leaves changes so it wasn't too bad. 😊
@@whatsfordinner_japanese Thank you 🥰 the leaves are very beautiful here this year so my fiancé and I have been going on long walks to enjoy before it gets too cold. I hope you and your family can enjoy it too! 🍁

@@whatsfordinner_japanese Yes, we have to branch out of Tokyo and Kyoto! We'll definitely keep Niigata in mind for next time!
