Everyone can drink....

Will you try to drink Slovakian alcohol?

He`s still not here...(Leo`s friend Sean)

He`s doing his Aikido.

I am going to make halusky (slovakian pasta) now...

It has to be like this...not to hard consistence...

When the boiled water is ready...

If you want to make slovakian halusky you need something like this...but it`s not necessary

you can mix more flour to the dough

and you can make it as a nyoky or soba

and just cut the dough

if you don`t have a tool for halusky

you can use something like this

I`m using this tool for halusky almost 20 years

and clever idea is use something like this also...

use the shiny side of this for example

it will take you time to make it with this but

it`s all right to use it

Let`s see how to make HALUSKY

it`s coming out to the boiled water

it will come out straight like this

if the dough is more runny

than the pasta will be more like a long pasta.

if you will make it first time, maybe it will be runny...

next time you will know to put more flour to a dough

OK. This is the round 1 for halusky pasta

mix it a little

How you will know that it`s ready is

it will be comming up

it looks like russian nyoky

My husband doesn`t like niyoki

but he loves Slovakian HALUSKY

What`s different? hmm...nijoky is made more of flour

and it`s bigger and made of potatos too

yap, right, it`s ready now

Leave the boiled water in the pan, we`ll use it again.

Use the water for next round of making pasta.

it`s not so salty, right? Yes,

we will use oil for not sticking

plus salt

You can use oil or butter, if you use butter, the taste will be much tasty.

Who tought to use it?

You`re clever!

I was thinking and looking at store...

You made it great!

Nice!

Great!

Your halusky has a nice shape!

Halusky is coming out, good job!

Awesome!

I`m going to make very easy salad.

I will make it with cucumber, yoghurt, salt

and paprika powder

Paprika powder for a decoration of the salad

Everyone think, it`s a strange taste...cucumber and yoghurt

maybe it doesn`t match together

but I will use vinegar also, than the yoghurt

taste will change...

This is Slovak traditional salad

but this salad is famous in Hungary too!

It`s similar food all around Europe because

long time ago many people traveled

and the food traditions was mixed...

You can`t say this is typical Hungary or typical Slovakian food...

the food in Europe was mixed

but Halusky are TYPICAL TRADITIONAL FOOD of Slovakia.

You can`t find it in Hungary or anywhere else.

I`m slim like a halusky (hahaha)

Cut cucumber, yoghurt,

and salt

and vinegar

In my past, I was attending

allergy kids club

where they were making mayonese

from yoghurt and vinegar also!

If you will have not a mayonese at home than you can

make it just like me...yoghurt, vinegar and salt.

Are you making Slovakian palacinky for the first time?

You made it perfect!

Now you can have too!

I made it for myself.

CUCUMBER SALAD with yogurt and paprika powder

PALACINKY

Deer meat

How do you say "Let`s eat" in Slovakian language?

DOBRU CHUT

Cheers! "NA ZDRAVIE"

If you drink you need to say "Na zdravie"

But if you`re starting to eat, you need to say "Dobru chut"

OK, let`s say it all together.

Let`s eat now...

I`m excited if you`ll like the food.

Leo is doing it every time...

Leo is doing it!

Let`s try Slovakian alcohol

it`s full of herbs!

it taste a little bit like japanese vodka

We drink it straight in Slovakia

She`s laughing at me...

drink it fast!

Help, the alcohol...it`s strong!

Slovakian style, if you drink it another shot is coming for you...

Shonen Jump.... And now?

I'm sorry. I got dared. Can I get a hamburger with this manga?

I got told to ask for it.

(So this is the Ask Japanese director editing as usual...)

Yahoo. I got it for you. There we go, Shonen Jump.

It was actually hard to get hold of. Really difficult.

Here you go.

Weekly Shonen Jump!

(Cathy still has no clue)

Shonen Jump.... and now? What's happening now?

It's one of the most famous magazines ever...?

Director: Buy me a hamburger.

What? - I want to eat a hamburger.

We are buying a hamburger NOW? (I thought we were shooting a video...)

I can do that, but I didn't bring my wallet...

Director: Tell them to give you a burger with the Jump manga magazine.

Buy a burger with a manga??

Tell them "Please give me a hamburger. I pay with this manga."

With this manga??? Really?!

(Getting slightly nervous)

I am really sorry...

I got dared. Can I get a hamburger with this manga? I got told to ask.

Please wait a moment...

Can I rip this one here out of the manga magazine?

Yes! I see! Please do!!!

This is your receipt. Your number is 42.

Can I take it home? - Yes one to go.

This is amazing. - Luffy on the cover is eating a burger too.

Yes it seems to be really yummy too.

Please wait until it's prepared, over there.

This is a real hamburger right? Thanks so much.

Jump manga gave me a burger Okay we're upstairs and doki-doki

Drawing is getting ready for a live stream Tony Tony!

oh I got myself a burger in a bag with a Shonen Jump magazine. - What?

I went in, had no money. I showed them shounen jump and I got a burger. - Are you serious?

Campaign? - Yes so, I guess. - How much is usually a Shonen Jump?

I think it's 280 Yen and a burger is 180 Yen.

That's pretty good - And you get entertainment

While you are reading! - While I am eating I can now read the Shonen Jump.

I will do that. - What burger have you got here? - Hamburger.

On that note Japanese magazines always come up with cool freebies of how they get Japanese people do buy the magazine.

🌙 Sailor Moon at Universal Studio Japan | Vegan in Osaka - Duration: 7:57.

I bought so much Sailor Moon stuff...

I spent like...

more than 400 US dollars

Hello everyone~ Welcome to my 2nd Osaka vlog

I got my breakfast from convenience store

I always get natto roll~ (fermented soy beans)

I gotta say Japan has smart but super wasteful packaging >"<

come on...why so much plastic 😣

I also love inari sushi (tofu skin)

I chose the wrong time to visit USJ

cuz it was during their Golden Week holiday

so it was freaking crowded

I got a matcha latte before entering and wow~~~

I came here just for the Cool Japan Sailor Moon Special ✨✨✨

Then I lined up to get the limited Sailor Moon popcorn bucket 🍿

It was fucking 3200 yen...💸

At that time, I was too hyped to care about the price...

but now looking back... it was just a waste of money 😶

I got a good deal on the express ticket through Klook (links in description)

and I didn't have to wait at all

The Sailor Moon ride was a 4D theater

(it was magical to see this in 4D~~~)

(I almost teared up)

(so gooooooooooood)

I went on a crazy shopping spree after the ride

I completely lost myself 🤩

It was the best shopping spree ever

I bought so much Sailor Moon stuff~

I spent like...

more than $400...

I went all out and got this expensive Sailor Moon face paint ✨

It was fucking 3500 yen 💸

Of course, I had to get something off the Sailor Moon menu

and only the drink was vegan friendly

It was a strawberry & lemon soda that tasted like shit 😖

This cute Luna container was included in my pass

The final fantasy ride was fucking dope

It's basically a Space Mountain but with VR

How cool is that??

I went to chill at Wonderland and decided to give the Coca-Cola Peach a try

But it was Nay

Then I left early because I was hungry and sick of lining up anymore

I headed to Genmai Cafe in Shinsaibashi for a late lunch

This cafe is almost vegan...

except for the seasoning packet containing shellfish, but you can decline it

Their matcha soy latte was pretty decent

One of the rice balls I got was the miso veggie flavor

but it was just okay

The Inari flavor one wasn't that special either...

7-11 tastes better 🤫

However, their today's cake killed it

It was some apple pie/mixed fruit flavor with soy cream on top

I ordered their coffee latte to complement the cake 🍰☕️

Oh my gosh this cake was really good 😌

Then I passed by a Sanrio Gallery store and bought some Aggretsuko merch~

I fucking love Aggretsuko 🤘

I returned to the hostel and removed my $30 face paint...

so sad ☹️

Then I headed to Aju Bar located in Nakazaki area for dinner

It's a small tapas style bar

Some of their drinks contain honey, so watch out for that~

It's kind of hard to get a seat here if you don't reserve in advance

You can do so easily through their website

I love their English and Chinese friendly menu

Their okonomiyaki was delicious 😳

Their koya tofu fish and chips was surprisingly even better 😲

It was a very satisfying meal~ I was so happy!

And holy fudge! you have to try their soy soft-serve 🍦

The soybean taste was so rich and so thick 👌

I always get this green tea after I eat, hoping that it would burn some of my fat 😂

Now I'm walking back to my hostel

oh my gosh that was the best restaurant meal I had so far in Osaka

I think it's gonna be hard to find another restaurant that could top that

When I first bite the okonomiyaki, I was...already super impressed~

cuz it tasted just like normal okonomiyaki, but better!

And when the tofu came out

I was blown even further away

Koya tofu is basically a very condensed (freeze dried) tofu

If you haven't tried you should, but I think it's only available here in Japan

That was my first time eating it fried

It was so unique~

And the soy soft cream was unlike any ice cream I've had before

At the first bite, you wouldn't taste much

but then the flavor slowly kicks in

and once it kicks in you're just like *foodgasm*

On my way home, I passed by this arcade

and I just couldn't resist to try the UFO catcher

cuz these Shibas are so fckin' cute! >///<

I tried using the 'push' technique

It seemed to work at first, but...

it was just a trap 💸💸💸

(I wasted 1000 yen on UFO catcher...)

That's it for today~ Thank you so much for watching 🙏

Fender Pink Paisley Crafted in Japan Telecaster Review & Demo - Duration: 7:29.

it was good enough for Elvis and it's good enough for me the Fender Pink Paisley Telecaster

[intro playing]

back in the early to mid 70s Elvis Presley was playing in Vegas

his guitarist at the time James Burton was looking for a new instrument

he came across a Telecaster with a distinct paisley design

he wasn't sure how Elvis would take to the guitar with it being bright pink

but he didn't have to worry coz Elvis loved it

and from then the pink Paisley Telecaster has been synonymous

with James Burton and his time playing in Elvis' backing band

this is a 2002 Japanese made version of the pink Paisley Telecaster

it has a basswood body it has a 1 ply pickguard

the vintage style bridge has three chrome saddles

with two Japanese vintage style Telecaster pickups

the usual Telecaster controls master volume

master tone and a 3-way selector switch

the strings are the through body type and

as you can see the paisley design is also on the back

usual Fender four bolt neckplate

and we have the side mounted jack input

the neck is made of maple and it has a maple fingerboard

the neck shape is what the Japanese call an oval shape

and it's akin to the modern C shape

there are 21 medium jumbo frets

the scale length of the guitar is the normal Fender 25.5 inch scale length

the nut is synthetic bone the headstock has the Fender 70's style Telecaster logo

one string three and there are six

vintage style tuning machines

next we'll give you a little introduction to the pickups

we'll do each position in turn and the amp we're going to use today

is our new Vox Mini Super Beetle cab and head

and we're gonna start off with the neck pick up

[guitar playing]

so that was the neck pickup

and now we'll go to the new middle position

which is the neck and bridge pickups together

[guitar playing]

so that was the middle position

with the neck and bridge pickups together

and now we'll go to the bridge position which is

the bridge pickup on its own

[guitar playing]

so that was the bridge pickup

and that was just a little introduction to the

pickups and the three positions on the selector switch

so that's the 2002 Japanese made Fender

Pink Paisley Telecaster designated TL 69

it's a basswood body 1 ply clear plexi pickguard

vintage style bridge with

three chrome saddles

vintage style Japanese single coil Telecaster pickups

3-way selector switch master volume and master tone

string through body stringing

four bolt neckplate

and side mounted jack input

maple neck maple fingerboard

21 medium jumbo frets oval neck profile

scale length of 25.5 inches

synthetic bone nut

Makeup and Brushes My Husband Bought for Me In Japan - Duration: 13:18.

Hello I'm C and welcome to my channel Tano SHE. Now today's video is going to

be fun because I'm going to be talking about makeup and brushes that my husband

bought for me in Japan

Okey-dokey now just to let you know I did not send my husband out to Japan

without some sort of guidance. And because I am super super duper organized

I sent my husband out to Japan with a list. And on this list are the specific

items that I've been wanting to try and alternates in case those items were not

available in the store said he was shopping at. And the contents of these

bags are what we will be looking at today. So that this isn't a mega huge

video, I'm going to just do an overview of all the items, and then I'm gonna be

making separate videos for the makeup and the other tools. So stay tuned for

those. In the meantime let's just get into this first bag here- and it's from a

store called Mega Donki. The "Donki" stands for Don Quixote, and it's a famous

sort of quintessential Japanese variety store that you can find throughout Japan

and they carry all sorts of things from housewares, electronics,

and cosmetics. Okay ... Digging in, the first thing I have here

is: Pure Pure Kiss Neo in the color 96, and it's from a company called Majolica

Majorca. And this is neat because it is a color-changing lipstick. I've read about

it in Japanese magazines, of course, and it seems quite popular so I wanted to

give it a try. Next up are these eyeshadow singles from Majolica Majorca.

This color is RD which I'm assuming stands for "red' - RD422, and this one is

V which probably stands for "violet" V1482. Once again I've read about these in

Japanese magazines and I just want to give them a try. I'm always on the hunt

for a true red eyeshadow because often, red eyeshadows will read pink. Maybe

because of my undertones and my skin. And this I want to give a try because

violets and purples really complement brown eyes. Now note: these guys are

really tiny. I would say they're half the size of what we're used to getting here

in the United States. But in their defense, I would say that they're super

cute- #1, and #2, probably more important is- that Majolica Majorca

is a Shiseido brand so I could just look at these as sort of the baby sister

versions of Shiseido lipsticks and eyeshadows. They might not wear the way

Shiseido products will but it's nice to know that the Shiseido brand is behind

this line. So I'm definitely looking forward to trying them out. The next

thing is in this so unglamorous little white bag here, but inside the white bag

is something I'm pretty excited about. And these next items were found at Plaza

which is in the basement of Ichi Maru Kyuu (109) in Shibuya. Ichi Maur Kyuu is

probably one of the most famous department stores in Shibuya and it is

just packed from top to bottom with women's

fashion accessories- and yes you can find makeup there. Ah yes! Products from a company

called Canmake. First off, I have Canmake Cream Cheek in the color 15. I'm

really looking forward to giving this a try because, well, I have sensitive skin

and I've never tried a cream blush before. And it seems like the formulation

is pretty mild and I shouldn't have a reaction to it so fingers crossed it's a

really pretty everyday color and mmm let's see how it goes. Next up we have

quite a few things in here. Man he did really good! He found a lot of the things

that I wanted. So yeah! Good job honey! Okay

Canmake's Candy Wrap Rich Color Lip Gloss in the shade number 2. Whee! Definitely

looking forward to this because with Fall and Winter, I like a bright, deep

saturated red. This- this is probably gonna do it for me. And according to the

reviews I read online, this should not be terribly sticky and it has pretty good

staying power, so fingers crossed. Next up is Camake's Jewelry Shadow Veil in the

color number 3. I select this shade because it's pretty neutral, so it can be

worn by itself or on top of an eyeshadow, and bonus bonus: it comes either finely

milled or not so finely milled. So depending on if you want just subtle

shimmer- you can do that, or something a little bolder- you can do that as well

Cool. Two in one

Next is Canmake's Glow Fleur Cheeks in the shade number 2

And this is neat because it comes with five little shades inside and you can swirl

this little brush around to create a perfect peachy cheek, or you can isolate

the colors to create your own custom cheek color. This seems to rank pretty

high amongst Japanese drugstore blushes, and I've seen quite a few Japanese

YouTubers highly recommend it, so I wanted to give it a shot. The final item and my

little Plaza pile is this: And it is Canmake's Transparent

Finish Powderr in the shade Pearl Lavender. Based on the name, I wouldn't say that

it's a color correcting powder. It's definitely a transparent finishing

powder. All this powder is supposed to do is to help brighten one's complexion. It

just adds a little more highlight and shimmer to your face but not like

full-on highlight or anything like that. And added bonus- it comes with SPF 47

Yeah, I have sensitive skin we'll see how it goes. Hopefully it works. It would be

nice to have a powder that has SPF in it. So hey it's a twofer

because not only can it help brighten your complexion it'll also protect your

skin from the sun. And in this final plastic bag here is this: Canmake's

Marshmallow Finish Face Brush number 1.Yay!

This brush came from Matsu Kiyo, which is in Shibuya and it's a huge drugstore

chain. In fact, they have multiple locations throughout Shibuya. And yes

I've really been wanting this. It's a half moon brush. Super cute and

apparently, it's very very soft. It can also be used for that Transparent

Finishing Powder that I was just showing you. This next item can actually be

purchased in the United States but for whatever reason, maybe because

this sort of item is more popular and more widely used in Japan, it was half

the price. And it's from Chanel. And it is this: Their Le Cotton. Their cotton

pads. Here in the United States, a box of these go for about $20, while in Japan

it's $10. Hmm... Maybe it's because my husband was looking specifically for

this product, but he noticed that most drugstores out in Japan are really

really stocked with all sorts of cotton pads. These I found out about the price

from looking at one of my Japanese magazines, where there was an entire

section on the different kinds of cotton pads that you could buy and how they

ranked. And these ranked quite high, so I thought why not. And ha, half price?

Yes. This next item I've been dying to get my

hands on, and it is from the Shu Uemura store in Omotesando Hills,

and it is this- Tadaaa! The shoe Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler:

gold-plated. Mmm. Usually I buy this from She Uemura's website but since my

husband was out in Japan, I thought, hey why not pick it up out there. And I

believe it's a little less expensive there. Now do I really need a gold-plated eyelash curler? The answer is "no". But I think it's just really beautiful and

it's not that much more expensive than their standard eyelash curler. And I will

say I've never had any issues with any of their curlers in terms of how long

they last and how good they are with curling the eyelash. And I've never had

them pinch my eyelid, so based on the shape of my eye this is the perfect

eyelash curler for me. And last but not least is this makeup brushes from Hakuhodo

These came from the Hikarie department store in Shibuya. Just to fill

you in, Hakuhodo is a Japanese brush manufacturer and they make calligraphy

brushes, brushes for artisans, and brushes for makeup. And here we go. Okay.

First up is their J602 Slide Face Brush Angled. Ad this is a retractable

brush, and it can be used for highlighter, blush, powder, on the go touch-ups. Perfect

for inside of my purse. Next is their Fan Brush. And I have to say I've always

wanted one of these. And while it may not look like much right now, after it's

washed, it's gonna fluff up quite a bit- and I plan on using this for finishing

powder when I'm done with my makeup. This is a J6530 and it is the Highlight

Tapered Brush, and as described it's perfect for highlighter. I however do not

use highlighters so I plan on using this for setting powder underneath my eyes

and maybe sometimes, if I just want a full wash of color on my eyelids, I can

use this too because this is gonna be a nice big fluffy brush. And on those lazy

days, this is gonna be perfect for that

This next brush is the J4002, and it is their Dual Fiber Powder Brush C.

While it's not the biggest brush, I think that this will be great for my more

pigmented blushes, to help me achieve a more sheer look. This guy right here is

the J146 brush, and it is a smaller round brush. And I think it's

gonna be perfect for say my outer-V area, some crease work, or even blending out

colors. Hm. Okay. This is the B5511 Eyeshadow Brush Round and Flat.

I picked this brush for smudging eyeliner, and it also can be use for the

lower lash line when I want to add some more color right in here. This final

brush, I would describe as a bonus item because my husband did get me all of the

brushes that I wanted on my list, and this one had actually been listed as an

alternative. So super sweet of him to go back later during his trip and pick

this for me. What we have here is the Fan Brush Mini Angled and Round. I have

to say this is the cutest brush I've ever seen. This would be great for

finishing powder, blush, highlighter- if you wear highlighter, and touch-ups. And

we've reached the end. That was all the makeup and brushes that my husband

bought for me while he was out in Japan. I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of fun

trying out these new products and tools, and as a reminder, I do plan on making

separate videos for the makeup and for the brushes. So please stay tuned. A very

special thank you to my husband for going above and beyond the call of duty

running around Tokyo with my list in hand and finding everything and more for

me. Thank you so so much! And to all of you out there, I'm hoping that you

enjoyed this video. So please kindly like, comment down below, and subscribe. And hey-

Thank you so much for spending a little time with me. I'll see you next time bye now

EPIC Matsumoto Castle Tour in Kanasawa, Japan! - Duration: 7:30.

Hi tubie fam!

If you are new to my channel, welcome!

My name is Lin.

Today I'm visiting Matsumoto.

If you are visiting Nagano prefecture, Matsumoto castle is worth checking out.

It is one of the most complete original Japanese castles.

I went to Matsumoto for a half day trip.

Let's check out the castle!

From Tokyo to Nagano it takes 1 hour and 22 minutes on the Shinkansen.

Then from Nagano station, you'll take the JR to Matsumoto Station which takes about

50 minutes.

From Matsumoto station, it is a short 15 minute walk to the castle.

Before heading to Matsumoto I dropped off my luggage in a locker at Nagano station.

It's a convenient way to not have to carry a large suitcase everywhere you go for a day.

It's super easy to use - just follow the instructions on the computer.

Here are the prices for the different sized lockers.

Even though this machine is marked with Suica you can still use PASMO and vice versa.

If you're using an older coin locker you should take a picture of the locker and the area

around it just in case you forget where it is when you come back for your stuff.

This place is so beautiful, look at the castle

It's a must visit if you're here in Nagano

In spring the area around the castle is a popular spot to see cherry blossoms.

There's even a nighttime viewing event in front of the castle that goes on for 8 days

after cherry blossom season begins.

If you don't want to pay to go into the castle, you can walk around the castle.

It is a relaxing stroll and be sure to take plenty of photos of the castle from different

angles.

I am at the tail end of cherry blossom season

It's still nice

because there is still some on the trees

and they're falling like snow

It cost 610 yen a person to go inside the castle courtyard and castle.

Got my tickets - let's go!

When in Japan don't forget to bring a stamp book.

All around the popular tourist destinations there are stamps available for you to fill

in your stamp book for a free souvenir.

This is one of my favorite thing to do.

I love going around and hunting for the stamps.

It's a good way to remember all the places you went to during your Japan trip.

There's a cowboy and a ninja.

Hahaha just chatting away.

Now lets go take a look to see what it looks like inside

Before going into the castle you have to remove your shoes.

They will give you a bag for you to carry your shoes around.

there's my mule

it's crazy

I'm finally at the top of the castle

It was a track up here.

It was really dangerous because all the stairs was really slanted up

I'm kinda worried about going back down

but it is worth the track up here

except on the top it's really really small

I guess it's a castle that kinda like goes like this, slanted upwards.

It's amazing to see how protected this castle is.

with all the little windows and all the like rails where you can shoot stuff down

Here are some interesting facts about Matsumoto castle:

It is unique because it is a "hirajiro" which is a castle built on plains rather than on

a hill or mountain.

Because of this the castle has to build its own defense system which includes inter-connecting

walls, moats, and gatehouses.

Also it makes for great picture because of the Northern Alps in the background of the

castle

There are 12 castles all around Japan but only two is five stories high: this one and

Himeji castle.

But there's a secret inside: there is an extra floor inside that looks like a loft.

Interesting features of the castle include steep wooden stairs, openings to drop stones

onto invaders, openings for archers, as well as an observation deck at the top.

The sixth floor of the main keep has nice views over the surrounding city.

If you wanted to they have a free tour guide that will go into the castle with you

and tell you about all the history of the castle.

The guides are available in different languages.

Matsumoto castle is also known as the black castle

because of its black exterior

I just came out of the castle

and the castle was so beautiful

just to the see view what a lord would see

and all the ninja areas

the castle was really steep climbing up

so watching your steps

and hold on

be careful not to fall and slip

Alright I'm done with the castle

I spent a good hour and a half here

Just allocate a hour and a half and that's really all you need

just to look around

Outside the castle there is a small shop to get ice cream.

Let's go get some!

Right outside the castle I got cherry blossom ice cream

Let's give this a try.

Oh this is pretty good.

Very creamy

It was 300 yen for one.

On your way back to the JR station don't forget to check out Nawate dori street, which is

also known as frog street.

It is Matsumoto's Edo Era-themed shopping street.

It takes you back into history and see how shops back then used to look like.

There are cute boutique shops and antique dealers.

If you want a little snack there are bakeries and candy stories.

There used to be a ton of Kajika frogs which roamed this area.

In 1959, a typhoon came and caused the river to overflow.

This made all the frogs leave for higher ground and cleaner water upstream.

The people worked hard to clean up the river, but the frogs never came back.

The people of the city then built many artificial frogs to bring Nawate Street's spirit back.

Matsumoto castle is a good half day trip from Nanago.

I was only here for 5 hours.

It was a quick and easy stop before heading to my next destination.
