2:41 This is "KURUMA-BU". Wheat flour gluten is rolled around a stick and baked, then another layer of gluten is rolled on top, baked, and then sliced. It is a dish that is boiled and seasoned.

I've never been to Kuramae but Sho-chan may make it a worthwhile trip!

Perfect video to invite the morning especially at 5:45AM! So groggy but this is a great way to start the day! This one felt a bit short but hoping the next one will be longer like 2 hours. 😁 Great video again!

0:46 Both of your expressions when the train flies by is wonderful. Tell me you model without telling me you model. haha.

6:00 The chocolate desserts look amazing! I'm a sucker for chocolate...some might say chocoholic. Ralph's expression is all telling!
