- Hi! I’m tomomo.
Thank you for visiting my weekday video.
I live in a small town 2 hours drive from Tokyo.
I’m a happy mom of two (👦🏻16 + 👧🏻11) and two cats (😺😇Picku 18.5 + 🐈 Momiji 16).
------------------------
In this video…
I had a nail appointment in the afternoon. Before that, I prepared dinner. I made Meat doria, it’s like rice gratin for my kids.
Since it was raining, I took our laundry at the laundromat before going to the nail salon.
On rainy days, my town is beautifully green and smells of earth, and I feel the blessings of the rain.
I bought Negitama Gyudon (beef bowl with a lot of green onions) for lunch.
I had some beer and Cold tanuki (raccoon) Udon at night😌🫶.
I hope you’ll enjoy my life in rural 🇯🇵 Japan!

Thank you for your peaceful videos. Very best wishes for your Mother's health. ❤
Thank you so much for your love to my mom♡
I Pray for your mother, my father passed 2 weeks ago of lung cancer, it's such a horrendous disease. I will keep you all in my prayers x
Thank you for your kind message♡ And again, I'm so sorry about your father...
Your video made me so happy in many ways: Miss Sparkle and her purple bags (I am very happy she was not hurt badly and is healing), Momiji sleeping on "her" new futon, the news that your mother is doing well, those adorable little frogs, raccoon and fox noodles. Most of all, I love getting to see all the scenery when you go driving. I love getting to see Japan from this view. We eat lots of zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, beans, onions, and cabbage from our garden. We will dig potatoes and have squash in the fall. I love eggplant. I never get to eat any of the corn we plant every summer because the raccoons eat one bite from the corn then throw in on the ground. But I use the stalks for fall decorations so I keep planting it each year. Maybe, I should offer the raccoons fried tofu so they would leave my corn alone. I think they would eat both though. 😂 Have a wonderful July. I will look forward to visiting with you again soon.
Hi, Leah! I'm happy that you like the scenery in my town.
Miss Sparkle has healed so well that it seems like a dream she ever had an injury😂.
Wow, what a lot of veggies you have in your garden! I want to live near there.
I didn't know that raccoons love to eat corn! I wish they'd at least eat the whole thing, not just one bite!
I will remember to bring some fried tofu when I visit your garden🤣.
Have a wonderful days and talk to you soon!
I love your videos, they are so soothing ❤ it’s super hot here but just seeing your open, airy house makes it feel a little cooler 😂
Thank you so much for your message♡ Where do you live? I'd be happy if my video makes you feel 10 degrees cooler😂.
awesome channel. thank you for sharing.
Arigato! Thank you for saying that🥹.
¡Hola querida Tomomo!
Thank you very much for sharing the video, it is always interesting.
First of all, we are glad that your mother remains more or less stable within her prognosis, be very strong dear friend, and live the moment with her, we send you lots of encouragement.🤗
What a scare about mini Tomomo, we hope she is fine now, we are sorry that you were not able to respond to the teacher's call while you were working, these things happen, we have to stay with the positive, that she is recovering well, give her a big hug from us.
I hope mini Tomomo is already enjoying her little corner, if Momiji gives her permission...I always like to see her toys, I love them...especially the polar bear stuffed bag, I want one.
We have loved seeing how your plants grow and above all that the knob “perilla” still resists...great, and the charming little frogs.
Spanish food,everything looked very good, especially the serrano ham, we sometimes have a small sandwich of bread with serrano ham for breakfast, it has healthy fats and is very tasty. We are very happy that you enjoyed it.😋
Sangria is very popular, tourists drink jugs of sangria, then they are a little impaired....you know, dizzy..😵💫
The potato salad you had is super popular, we eat it a lot here, it's fresh for the summer, it's called Russian salad “ensaladilla rusa”, the one they gave you I think is a version with fewer ingredients, if you put the name in Google Images “ensaladilla rusa” you can see how we decorate it...
Here in summer the seasonal vegetables are zucchini, eggplant, peppers...now they are cheap and there is a lot of variety, especially tomatoes, there are many different types, sweeter, others more meaty, others colorful...We like a very fleshy tomato that is sliced with olive oil, it is the ox heart tomato “tomate corazón de buey” (the name is strange)but it is very good fresh for the summer.
In Spain in summer people drink a lot of “gazpacho”, which is like a tomato cream with a little of garlic, cucumber, green pepper, olive oil and breadcrumbs... super popular, also “pisto”, which are vegetables sautéed in olive oil, very nutritious and cheap.
I loved seeing the Coach sandals again and that they have not been damaged...they are beautiful and they look great on you, enjoy them very much.😍
Your nails are beautiful and Mini Tomomo was so happy when she saw them...they were very pretty. Here there are many establishments for nail manicures, there is a kind of fashion in having super decorated nails...unfortunately I have very small nails because I bite them, a terrible habit that I have had since I was little, I think since they took the pacifier away...🤭
How beautiful the second-hand market, there were beautiful things, I buy second-hand clothes from time to time on an online platform in Spain, now there is a lot to choose, many times I buy new clothes with tags and they are very cheap...but there are people who don't like buying second-hand things, especially clothes, because they are afraid of germs.
Now it's starting to get hot here, we don't have air conditioning, I don't like it very much, we have a fan, but we use it little, what we do is keep the house with the blinds down and we open and close windows to let in draft air...it doesn't always work...
I hope your curtains work and you can be comfortable.
Today we have a date with football at home, Spain plays against Germany in the Euro Cup, it will be difficult to win, Germany plays in its country (the Euro Cup is held in different cities in Germany) if we lose today we will no longer continue in the competition. ..let's see what happens, either way we'll have a good time.
This weekend we will go to see the sales, they have started a few days ago, I need to renew shoes at J.C and see if they have marked down the bag that I liked a lot... let's see if I'm lucky, we'll keep our fingers crossed.
Dear Tomomo, I'm saying goodbye now, I always write a lot..., but we love hearing from you and your family and we appreciate the time we watch your video and get closer to your culture and customs, we always learn things.
We send you a big hug, for your husband and children, especially for Mini Tomomo and for Momiji, so precious and loving,
Until next time dear friend,
From Madrid, with love J.C and Silvia😘😘😘😘
Hola Silvia and JC,
Thank you for writing me again! As always, I really enjoy reading your messages.
In my last video, you told me about some local foods you tried when you traveled.
I googled it and it looked really yum! Mini tomomo will love that food for sure.
Eggs and sausages are everyone's favorite food.
It was also interesting to see them singing. Spain is a wonderful country full of music!
And yes, we watched Spain Grand Prix!
I think Barcelona is a famous place for Japanese people because that's where the Olympics were held.
When I was a little, I mistakenly thought that the capital of Spain was Barcelona😂.
Ensaladilla rusa looks really good!
I saw the recipe of it and it says homemade mayo.
I can't imagine what homemade Spanish Mayo tastes like, but I wonder if it's similar to Japanese one.
If I went to Spain, I would like to try all the different kinds of tomatoes! I don't eat much and if I eat bad oils, I get stomachaches and vomit.
But Spanish olive oil is very fresh and seems good for my body.
I also love olives but I'm sure the olives you eat in Spain are different from the ones here! Must be fresher and tastier!
How did the foot ball game go?
You mean, soccer right? Just to make sure...🤣
And tell me about the bag you have wanted!
Could you get it on sale? I hope you did!
Have a wonderful Sunday! It's super hot in Japan this weekend.
We'll just chill and I'll take a nap with Momiji😆 and some lemon Sangria ( I found it at the store that sells a lot of foreign stuff).
Big love from Japan♡tomomo
Hi Tomomo, thank you for this video, it helped me a lot to relax. Hope you're doing well and i wish you many beautiful things and to be happy.
A guy from Italy :)
Wow, from Italy? How cool is that. Thank you for joining my ordinary life in Japan. I'm having a relaxing Sunday. I hope you have a good weekend too!
First time watching one of your videos, loved it! So relaxing. I'm from Colorado, USA and in the summer we eat a lot of corn and peaches. It's still a bit too early, they're not ready yet but soon!
Thank you for finding me and joining my ordinary life in Japan. Wow you are from Colorado. I googled there and it seems to be a place rich in nature!
In the UK our kids have 6 wks off in the summer before the new school year, in Ireland they have 9 i think. We have 2 more weeks to go until the holidays, all over the UK the schools break up at a different time.
Sending hugs to her for a fast recovery with her face x
I didn't know that you have only 6 weeks off. I thought the summer vacation was longer in your country! And thank you for sending hugs for mini tomomo, the scabs on her face are completely gone!
Kids may easily hurt themselves, but luckily they can recover soon.
You are totally right!
I look forward to your videos so much. They are so peaceful and happy. I was glad to hear that your mother is still alive. My father died in February at 91. Can you tell me the full name of your favorite author who you are always quoting? I would like to see if I could find an English translation of his writings.
Thank you for saying that. I'm relieve to know someone is waiting for my videos♡ ...and I'm so sorry about your father.
And about your question...his name is Hitori (first name) Saito (last name). I believe he hasn't published any English books yet, but maybe you can google his name and get some information😀.
