Great video.
İçli köfte yapabilen bir milletiz şu kadar reklamını yapamadık 🤦🏽♀️🇹🇷
If you're washing rice, keep the rice water of the first wash as that can help with hair health. I put some honey and salt and mix it up and put that in my hair.

Food waste.
Food waste, japan.
Very insightful.
As a japanese view, some of sushi are wiared. we never put bonito frake on shushi, we never put hichimi pepper on sushi. and also Shiso leaf doesn't much for salmon. Shiso leaf be over power for shushi taste.
This is incredibly complex and impressive; now I understand why some say mastering this takes a lifetime
Why is sushi?
This guy is amazing. Knowledgeable, passionate about his craft, funny, friendly, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s very handsome. 😁
