0:15 Wow, all that trash on the beach, so sad!!! In America, lots of people volunteer to clean up beaches, do you also have volunteers cleaning up beaches too? (Thank you for the new video! It helps me sleep. Then I go back to rewatch it, because I’m asleep😂)❤

We have volunteers to clean up beaches. But it is the pretty small beach in the countryside of Japan. There might be no volunteers. And it was just after summer, in October.

I am Japanese and live in this area. In the winter, the sea gets rough with high waves, and garbage tends to accumulate here. Also, there was a tsunami recently due to the earthquake. That may be why there is more garbage than usual.

​@@slisae Thank you for describing.

Is sake to be drunk hot or cold? I always thought you warmed it up. I would buy a small bottle every Winter to use with my sake set I bought in an Asian store here in America. Then I saw videos where people sampled sake and drank it cold. Which is best?

[@off-to-japan]

It depends on which types and grades sake you are drinking. There are many kinds of sake. Cold sake is characterized by its refreshing taste. This makes it an ideal drink for sake with a refreshing flavor, such as ginjo-shu (aromatic sake) and nama-shu (unpasteurized sake). Sake with a robust flavor, such as junmai or honjozo sake, is best suited for heating. Sake with a strong aroma, such as daiginjo-shu, may lose its aroma when heated, making it unsuitable for warming up. Check out the website! www.diffordsguide.com/bws/1183/sake/types-and-grades
