      Also, we get hayfever in every country, not just Japan; I'm British and I get horrendous hayfever every spring and summer. Yuta appears to think hayfever is unique to Japan. He's clearly delusional.

      Deep Red He is clearly not delusional. He is just talking about something he doesn't like about Japan. It is a valid topic since hayfever there seems to be much more common than in most countries. I don't think there are many countries with half of its population suffering from that at those levels.

      I love Japan, but there are a LOT of social, economic, political, and legal issues that are very serious in Japan. Cedar trees are by no means the biggest issue. Lack of workers' rights, severely declining population, stunted economic development, discrimination against foreigners, extremely high suicide rates, social taboos and stigma, etc... Japan has many wonderful attributes too, overall it's a great country to live in, but let's not ignore the very real problems.

      And if you think the pollen is bad, there's the weather, which is 1.

    I wish I discovered it sooner. First year I used it daily but second year I didn't need it at all. I just used eye drops for my eye symptoms. I think I might have to use it in the third (this) year as I feel a hint of symptoms starting up now.

    Hay fever also exists in Germany, especially in the countryside. You wouldn't believe the effect of a few birch tress near your house or how strongly you can react to grass blossom. A lot of agriculture here is around growing grass as food for animals, you can literally drive though endless fields of grass (and some corn here and there) during summer. I wonder how people a few hundred years ago coped with allergies or whether they didn't know them to such an extent.

    I've never been to Japan sadly, but there's one thing coming out of Japan that I really hate and that is when some chefs put gari (pickled ginger) INSIDE of the sushi.
    I'm sorry Japan! But I will never understand why people like the taste of pickled ginger. It just taste horrible to me.
    From what I've learned though, the traditional use of gari is supposed to be as a small side-condiment to eat BETWEEN dishes in order to clean the palate from flavors so you can appreciate the next dish better. But I've come across sushi restaurants (staffed with japanese people who claim to have taken their recipes with them from home, so it wasn't a case of clueless foreigners or anything) where they purposefully put pieces of gari inside the makizushi, and it just ruins the whole meal for me. :/
    Please! Just let the gari be a side-condiment and let the guest choose for himself when or if he actually wants to eat it or not and we'll all be happy.

      Nakop: Ok, but these experiences were in Europe though. And like I said, the staff at the restaurant was japanese.
      And I really wondered what they were thinking putting gari inside of the sushi like that.
      Now I know, I can be a bit picky when it comes to sushi. For instance, i'm very particular about the kirin and sugar mixture that you treat the rice with when preparing sushi. It's very important that the mixture is just right. Not too much sugar, but also not too little. (at least I think it was called kirin. It was a very long time ago since I tried preparing sushi myself. I remember that I used crayfish tails for filler, but also that I got a bit too much wasabi so the maki ended up being a bit spicy, bit it did taste nice anyhow)
      But putting gari inside, that gave me a bit of a shock. It seemed like such a strange, out of the ordinary thing to do.

      Seven Proxies I'd say it's like Chinese restaurants outside of China: they offer Chinese inspired meals that are adjusted to the western taste. The Chinese food sold in those restaurants has practically nothing to do with actual Chinese food although all the restaurants are run by Chinese people.
      In my country in Europe it's common that the sushi sold in supermarkets has no rice seasoning at all.. So far I only know 2 restaurants in my country where the sushi actually tastes like the one Japan (I have been there). And I can assure you I have tried a lot of sushi restaurants here (all of them were run by Asians. Sometimes Chinese, some by Japanese etc. For those two good ones: one has a Japanese chef and the other one a Vietnamese, funny huh?).
      I even tried sushi in Russia: they use tomatoes and mayonnaise for the filling. And they deep fry the rolls...

    • @sevenproxies4255
      @sevenproxies4255 6 років тому

      Nakop: It doesn't have to be traditional to taste good. I imagine that mayonnaise could go pretty well with sushi. But of course it's not very authentic.
      What struck me as wierd with the gari was that it seemed to have been prepared with mostly authentic ingredients, but been done in a strange and apparently unauthentic way, which also didn't improve or enhance the flavor at all.
      Don't get me wrong, I might not like the taste of pickled ginger myself, but I can understand it's purpose. It's like when you eat really strong peppermint or eucalyptus. It really cleans out your sinuses and rinse all other flavors out of your mouth. But I wouldn't want peppermint or eucalyptus IN any food for the same reason I wouldn't want pickled ginger in it.

    Actually I understand him well. I am studying in Japan. Once I went to an elementary school to give a presentation about my country and the kids asked me about my favorite season. I said spring, especially in Japan, because there is pretty sakura blossom and nice weather etc etc, and they looked shocked and didn't understand why would anyone like spring. Then the teacher asked "Ok kids, who has hay fever, raise your hands!" and ALMOST EVERY SINGLE KID did it. So I kind of understand Yuta. Thankfully I am not allergic even to Japanese cedar tree but I feel bad for the Japanese :( In my country in eastern Europe we have lots of flowers and one type of tree which is particularly nasty in summer, but in my class in school there were maybe 1 to 3 kids who had hay fever.

    I have been to Japan a few times and there are a few things I hate.
    1. The traffic in some areas. In my state, I drive everywhere and traffic is not that bad. I am not a fan of walking or taking a train/subway. This is also why I hate New York.
    2. In addition to the many people, in the same areas, it would be hard to have a cat that I could let outside. And I would much rather live in cities than outside cities.

    I lived in Japan, and yeah... Many people are allergic to sugi trees (genus "Cryptomeria", technically not cedars), and complain about it all throughout the spring (when they should be doing hanami). It is strange that the situation persists even though millions of people are affected. It's weird that that was the tree that was planted all over Japan, even though they must have known that it produces allergies in many people.

  • @Ohem1
    @Ohem1 6 років тому

    I've the same issue as you when it comes to allergies, although to be more clear: It's not the pollen that's the problem, only the trigger but not the cause - it's the overproduced histamine in the human body. The histamine helps to expand the cell walls allowing for more blood (and particularly white blood cells as a response) and the increased fluids make the eyes water as well overproduced snot in the nasal cavity.
    That's why the antihistamine is necessary, to restrict the response because technically our immune system is fighting all the time (which is good) but the increased histamine is a double-edged sword.

    YUTA I was pollen allergic for many years, like 20 years ago. In spring I would look like on a permanent flue condition. I even did a treatment were they inject you with a solution that contains small amounts of the stuff you are allergic to. I stopped that treatment after like 2 years. It never helped me and the injections got unbearable because there was no more space on my arms to be injected.
    It was like twice a week, so it turned up to be to painful. But what cured me was bee pollen, it is super healthy, has a lot of vitamins and minerals and for some reason I didn't get any allergic reaction by consuming it orally.
    I take it every day in the morning on an empty stomach as a replacement of synthetic multivitamin, to complement my diet.
    You need to put a tea spoon of it on a little bit of water so it dissolves over night, otherwise it just get out strait out of your body.
    It is naturally granulated and the stomach does not have time to properly dissolve by itself in digestion.
    The thing is that now I don't have any allergic reaction in spring time for many, many years now even if I stop taking bee pollen which I have when I have lived in places were I can find it.
    There is here also a type of tree that makes people very sick and now I am also protected from that. Remember allergies is a reaction were your body has an exaggerated reaction to a foreign substance, when you take small amounts of pollen for a long time your body get used to it. Now at the beginning you need to test yourself and take small amounts to see what type of reaction you get. Find the amount that does not make your body to have a bad reaction and then with time, slowly increments it to a full tea spoon per day.

He can manage okay here as long as he is careful. I'm not sure he could cope in Japan.

No one gave a friendly reminder and one just started lashing out. Apparently, there is some unwritten rule to not allow speaking in train or something.
    2) Some people are rude. I was at a restaurant and seeing that the waiter looked busy, I helped myself to getting the menu. Boy was he mad. Reprimanding me and and snatching plates off my table the moment I finished eating. But his colleague who is at the cashier much nicer.
    3) Google maps is unusable.

    I can definitely relate to this. It's why going to places like parks and certain CUNY schools are terrible for me once spring starts.

    My mum and I both get hayfever - both of us live in the UK. My mum never experienced hayfever in her home country (Malaysia) and we love the relief from pollen over there. Hay fever is pretty common here as it is in Japan (I don't know about the percentage points). I cannot swallow tablets though so I just live with the consequences and have red eyes and lots of tissues every spring/summer.

    I get hayfever in Australia around October. No one plant is the culprit I don't think, just spring time generally brings out the pollens. I thought that everywhere has a hayfever season, because there are plants everywhere! Maybe not so much in deserts i guess, but everywhere else.

    Well, I have year-round allergies, anyway, so pollen from the cedar tree is definitely not going to deter me from attempting to live in Japan. ありがとうございまし for your informative, interesting and fun videos, Yuta!👍🏻😊🌎

    What about the bugs? I heard Japan's eco system is housing a ton of much larger and sometimes more aggressive insects, mosquito's in particular are a very big problem in the summer.
    There's even a very deadly type of Spider that came from Australia back in the old days of trade, that pretty much made Japan it's new home, that even warning signs are put up to stay aware for them.
    I also believe Japan also has a stubborn Cockroach problem as well, which is weird considering how clean everything is.

    Lots of people in the UK have hay fever too. I think it's much worse in polluted areas- when I lived in London the plane trees would always irritate me, especially when I had contact lenses
