I would love to learn this for my 4 year old. He can put on underwater glasses and put his face in the water. He can also float on a floatation device and flap his legs like a flapjack.

We do not have a pool at home.

How to make koji Easy

Question

I am a girl who is not good at cooking
My health is not so good these days
I want to make koji by myself and start chowkatsu

I would like to learn how to make koji
easily

If you are a good cook, please share with us.
Thank you very much!

Let's see, are you sure you want to make koji itself by yourself ?
If so, you have to prepare seed koji (koji mold) first. I believe it is sold on Amazon.
And you can make koji by following the instructions on the Internet, as there are many people who have this job.
There are not so many steps, so I think it is not difficult to make it.
If it is ready-made koji, I think it is easy to get it because it is sold at donkey shops.

I often use ready-made salted koji to marinate meat and fish. The meat becomes tender and
has a mild salty taste, so it tastes good.
I also make pickles with the ingredients for sango-hachi pickles sold at Marukai.
It is a local food of Fukushima, but it makes sweet pickles.

If you are not a good cook and have poor health, you should not choose to do something

difficult and time consuming, and buy koji.

Even though I like cooking, I have never made koji. Koji miso is sold everywhere. You can get koji from miso soup.

You can find various health tips on Youtube.

Start right away with what you can do.

I have been enjoying making miso, salt koji, soy sauce koji, onion koji, etc. using ready-made rice koji, but this weekend I am trying to make rice koji for the first time. It takes 3 days to complete the process, and it is a bit difficult to control the temperature (. I try to check every hour except when I'm sleeping ). If your health is not so good and you want to take advantage of the benefits of koji quickly, I recommend using Cold Mountain's rice koji, which is sold at Donki, Nijiya, and other stores. Donki also has a Japanese product ( that I think is imported from Japan ), but my impression after using about 10 bags of this product is that the power of the koji is inferior to that of Cold Mountain. I used about 10 bags of this one, and my impression is that its koji is less powerful than Cold Mountain's. Perhaps the fungus is weakened, but the soy sauce koji and miso are not as strong as those made by Cold Mountain. Incidentally, Cold Mountain's koji was slightly cheaper at Nijiya than at Donki ( as of early October ). I don't have a very strong stomach, but I feel better after taking a little fermented food with each meal, I hope KJ's health improves too.

Fuji apples have grown in our garden.

I always don't pick them until they are red, but when I do,

birds have been nibbling on them.

So my question is,

(1)Do green apples naturally turn red after a while even if they are harvested ?

(2)Is it OK to eat them while they are still green ?

(3)How to keep apple trees from getting taller ?

Thank you for your cooperation.

\Does a green apple naturally turn red after a while after being harvested ?
No

Is it safe to eat it while it is still green ?
It can be eaten but it will be sour

. \How to keep apple trees from getting too tall ?
Cut down the tops

Red apples are different from green apples. Well, we usually don't eat them
If birds and insects eat them, we can put nets over the whole tree.

for if you take it and eat it, you will surely die."

When he eats the apple, he does not eat it, but drinks it as juice.

We also have a Fuji apple tree. !
We are also waiting until they turn red, but birds and wasps are still killing them.
In the case of wasps, they bite once in the early stage and eat all of them when they are ripe.
The ones that the wasps have nibbled on are still sweet ! ( We give the nibbled parts to the hens ) Yellow Delicious are finally turning yellow and sweet !

If you pick the fruits when they are young, they will shrivel up rather than turn red. Picking apples at a young stage causes them to shrivel rather than turn red. The apple trees are pruned every winter so they are a little over 6ft tall.
We also have cooking apples, but this year they were small and I was thinking it would be hard to peel them and make apple pie stuffins. <1165> The large size apples are easy to peel !

If your Fuji apples are big enough, you can put a thin white paper bag on each one before they turn red,

Self storage

I am planning to return to Japan temporarily.
I am not sure when I will be back in Hawaii next and I don't want to waste money on rent, so
I am considering cancelling my apartment contract and storing my belongings in a storage unit before returning to Japan.
I have no experience with self storage and would like to hear from those who have used it.
Please let me know if you recommend this storage facility in Honolulu, or if you recommend not to use this facility, or if you have any stories of mistakes that happened when you left your belongings at this facility.
Since we are in Hawaii, we are especially concerned about sanitation.
Also, please let me know if you have stored your car in this way or if you know of a service that can safely store your car while you are back home for an extended period of time.
Thank you very much.

A friend of mine did the same thing and returned to Hawaii over a year after leaving her belongings in Kaimuki storage and her car with someone. When he returned, he couldn't find a place to live
He was in Hawaii for a few weeks on a shared basis and ended up leaving, throwing away more than half of the clothes and other things he left in storage. I was also crying because I had more miles on my car than I needed to drive it around where I left it.
It cost us TOTAL thousands of dollars.
Bottom line is, it's easier to sell off your stuff at Vivinavi, throw away what you can't sell, sell your car at Vivinavi, and become one body for the next life.

# 4 min Mr.
I am glad to hear a review from someone who has actually used it.
I am relieved to hear that the pest control seems to be in place if the storage is well managed.
However, I had not thought about the possibility of closing the business, so I will have to reconsider. It must have been very hard to move the storage in a limited time, thank you very much. Thank you for the details regarding the car as well. I am also worried about theft and batteries, so I would like to leave my car in a safe place even if it is a little more expensive.
Thank you very much for your help. Thank you very much.

Hello, I have been an expatriate since June and arrived in our area before my family.
I am thinking about living in Irvine, but I wanted to start a topic to let you know where I should live.

We have two children, ages 4 and 2.
My wife is not good at English and would like to join a Japanese community if possible.
We have not decided on a kindergarten yet.


We have heard that West Park and Woodbridge are usually good places to live, and we were going to look in those areas, but there are not many apartments ( and even if there are, they are over our budget ). So the following areas came up.

Northwood
Cypress Village
Oak Creek
Great Park

I have a boss who told me that the area above Route 5 has few expats and many Chinese people. I have heard that the area above Route 5 has fewer expatriates and more Chinese people.
I am hoping to live in an area with a certain amount of expatriates, but I wonder what the actual situation is like ?

I would like to hear various opinions from people who live in each area or are familiar with the area.
Thank you very much.

Hi, I live in West Park, Irvine.
I am a long time US resident and not an expat, but I am a mom with an elementary school aged child. There are many Japanese expatriates and other Japanese people in West Park. I have lived in the US for a long time and am not an expatriate, but I know many Japanese expatriates and other Japanese people who live in Westpark. If your wife can drive a car right away, I don't think you have to worry. The West Park area is very livable and beautiful with many parks, and is close to Costco, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Korean supermarkets, Target, etc. It is very comfortable for housewives. Many people live a normal life even if they don't speak English. Our family also rents a condo. The West Park area is very popular and townhouses, condos and apartments are going up $200-$400 a month a year. Even if you try to buy a house, there are very few properties available and the price is usually $ $1,500,000 for a normal 4 room house.
Prices have gone up so much that it is hard to keep up. Prices have gone up so much that they can't keep up with it. There are people living in the Irvine Spectrum, but if you want to raise your children in a park, I wouldn't recommend the Spectrum.
In the Great Park area, new houses are being built all the time and there are many new families. But of course renting a house or condo is also expensive because they are new. It is the same in all areas, but I have known several people who had to move out of their apartments when their children were young because of complaints of noise from the people below them. I know that you are going through a lot of hardship since your wife and children are coming to the U.S., but at first it will be like you are on vacation and it will be fun, but when you live in the U.S., there are many things that will be different from Japan and you may get homesick, but please do your best.

Dear Latte

Thank you for your comments and useful information.
( I am very sorry for the delay in replying )
In the end, we looked at a lot of places and finally decided on the Great Park area. West Park never came up with any properties in the first place. I also liked Cypress Village and Oak Creek, but they already had several applications, and as a foreigner with no FICO, there was no way I could win. In the end it took over 3 months and a lot of hard work, but we found a good owner, the place of residence was confirmed, and my wife arrived in our area recently.
We still have a lot of work to do in the future, such as finding a license for my wife, finding a community for our children, finding a kindergarten, etc. We are floundering to start up our lives, but as Latte said, we will be homesick when we get settled. Thank you for sharing the information, including your support.
