    Hey Martina, maybe you might not read this message but im going to put it out there anyways. I just want to say how much your videos helped me to feel alive again. You have come out of such hard situations in life and its trully inspiring to believe in having that aw for life again. It helped me see the world in a positive light, to want to have that spice for living. You have inspired me so much to bring in that greatness into my life even with all the challenges life throws at us. You are a slice of light and shine ❤

    My favorite way to prepare tofu is to freeze it, thaw it and then press all the water out of it. The ice makes it expand a little bit and creates a more spongy tofu. Then I bake it instead of frying it. It literally soaks up sauce like a sponge.

It was so relaxing and somewhat like the sound of a witches brew bubbling. And then you said the soy milk skin was yuba, and I thought is that the same as the name of the witch in Spirited Away? Yuba? no ... memory kicked in, its Yubaba.Also The streets were delightful and the title thumbnail was a joy. And the AIRSHIP at the end!!!!! So many feels, so much joy. Thank you Martina! This was such a lovely offering. May the beavers appear for you in Canada!

    oh Japan is just so beautiful ㅠㅠ I went to Fukuoka recently, and it was the most dazzling experience being there. The nature, the people, the clean, quiet streets. the food. Watching this video made me tear up a little. Oh how much I miss Japan.

    I love all kinds of tofu and make many recipes at home. Yes, it can be bland, but if you know how to treat it, it's amazing! Mapo Tofu and sesame deep fried tofu are my favorites! I also love inari sushi!

      Yes! Exactly! Omg Mapo Tofu is so tasty! I make it with eggplant when I don’t have ground pork
