have you ever thought about making udon with rachel? I think it might be a fun idea to work together to challenge who can make the best bowl of udon!

[@Ashley-xu1lk]

Jun finally gets his snacks

[@POTATOEMPN]

I just bought a big thing of Umeboshi, the salty ones. And I bought some apricots fresh too, just a few days ago, and now I am here. Perfect.

[@Alteusgirl]

Hakku: chews plastic, Nagi: steals a donut, Poki: perfectly behaved! :o

[@WespectRamen]

Poki's behavioural evolution has turned him from the disrupter, to the disciplined! Haha, I'm happy he has chilled out over time because he lives with a good family

[@TheMimiSard]

@@WespectRamen It says a lot about the soothing effect of having a safe home and regular food has had on him. He's really settled down because his life is settled.

[@oniman123]

that little vacuum became the perfect best boy. That's some great character growth.

[@carolinaa.4407]

Poki variant?😂😂

[@FlusteredBushStudios]

guess today is opposite day lmao

[@Sibunamember101]

Nagi stealing one of the donuts was something I did not expect but I when I realized I started immediately rooting for him to get away with it haha

[@1stAshaMan]

When I was a kid one of our cats stole a powdered sugar donut off the table and ran down the hall with it. There was a little white trail of evidence to follow.

[@hunnykun101]

I wonder if Poki is teaching him XD

[@dreamynights]

He did it so politely too!

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I think Nagi wanted to play with it since it was the perfect sized ball. Poki was being so good but then he saw that Nagi had it and wanted to play too.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

@@1stAshaMan That's hilarious! lol

[@_melon_chan]

I can't explain the amazing feeling of being able to witness the beautiful transitions of your kitchens. As someone who has watched you 2 apartments ago, it feels like I'm growing up with you guys 😅 I was in high school, now I'm applying for my first job. Thank you always for putting out great content and being a motivation for many of us. Looking forward to more cooking videos with your new kitchen!

[@JustSaralius]

Good luck with the job hunting! Don't be discouraged if it takes some time. You'll get there! Ganbatte! ^^

[@Lara-vo6rp]

good luck!

[@serenabeanwho]

I can't believe Nagi was the donut thief and not Poki haha!!

[@YamaguchiEtsuko]

Jun's cats are all so polite! Nagi: *steals a donut* Ah... an exception to the norm

[@_Fizel_]

The fact it wasn't Poki...

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Poki has really become so patient. Guess he sees that there is no risk of starving now.

[@Alimeozilla]

Jun and his cats are living the Harvest Moon life

[@SAmaryllis]

I thought the same thing! The music Jun picked made me really want to play Harvest Moon haha

[@Alimeozilla]

@@SAmaryllis yeah i literally pulled out my stardew valley after this haha

[@usagiicat]

ahh you're right TvT i love how cozy it is

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I was thinking that too. I love Harvest Moon!

[@KougaJ7]

Absolutely agree

[@konbu1231]

Haku battling with the plastic made me laugh so much 😂😂 Edit: 7:17 for those who wanna see it on repeat

[@Clownbunnycosplay]

Oh cats, I forget that haku loves certain things

[@Greymetaphor]

Jun's concerned "Haku! Haku!" is too good!

[@FlusteredBushStudios]

@@Greymetaphor that made it so much funnier yess XDD

[@Im-fq1mn]

You made me laugh five times in a row. 😹

[@Im-fq1mn]

Cats' ideas and behavior are beyond human understanding. Honestly, cats are funnier and smarter than comedians.

[@Antifearn]

Both 7:18 and 11:34 made my night! I never thought an intelligent and majestic cat like Haku would try to eat plastic, or a reserved and mindful kitty like Nagi would attempt to steal human food that doesn't even contain meat!

[@tiller3777]

Nothing makes me happier then seeing Jun cooking in his Dream kitchen 😊

[@WespectRamen]

Nagi is getting bigger, and braver! Who would've thought that out of all the kitties, Nagi would be the one to try to steal a doughnut haha! Its always nice to see another chill cooking video from you Jun! Edit: typo

[@loverlei79]

It's just so wholesome that you admit defeat to the snack box. I swear, it's every home pastry chefs dream to beat the box. You will one day!

[@erruhh]

Jun gives off the most calming and gentle vibes. I enjoy being here.

[@dank4863]

Yes Nagi, yes. Finally he took one. I have been rooting for him for years 😅.

[@l.1020]

I remember years ago in a video Jun said “I let my cats smell everything I do because it keeps them interested” and ever since then I let my dog smell new things I buy or make in the kitchen and he loves it and feels involved

[@jensatow]

The plum syrup with shiso is a great idea! my obaachan made shiso syrup last summer before the plant dried out and it was really yummy!

[@Razzlewolfflight]

Cats can’t even taste sweets. You must’ve made some amazing donuts for Nagi to steal one.

[@deathberriru]

but my cats like to steal my cake :(

[@aeong_bread]

that's the funny thing, cats don't care about logic. one of my cats goes literally insane for sugar cookies. doesn't matter what kind of sugar cookie, any brand, it doesn't matter. she doesn't like any other type of cookie or sweet, she only likes sugar cookies. she will fight me for them. we caught her tearing open the package for those lofthouse sugar cookies at 3am, she growled and bit and hissed when we took them away. none of my other cats like them, i can't find anything online about cats liking sugar cookies. i have a real weirdo here and she's a menace. can't figure out what ingredient sets her off. sorry for the essay, i just think it's so hilarious how crazy she goes for sugar cookies even though she really shouldn't like them lmao

[@smapa1185]

@@aeong_bread probably the butter

[@aeong_bread]

@@smapa1185 that's what i thought, but she doesn't like other things that have lots of butter in them. i've done experiments with different types of cookies including butter cookies, croissants, buns, etc. it's only sugar cookies, even the most dry ones. my cat is an enigma.

[@lilkitten545]

@@aeong_bread That's interesting lol, my cat won't go for cookies or cakes unless she smells cream or whipping cream on them, she likes cream, whipping cream, and butter, doesn't care about cookies or sugar stuff though

[@DavidNightjet]

Every day starting with one of Jun's videos is gonna be a good day

[@rchen3]

Nagi is quite possibly the fluffiest boy.

[@thecatherd]

Those donuts are similar to something we enjoy in Denmark called aebleskiver! They're round, cinnamon (and sometimes apple) flavored donuts that are traditionally eaten with icing sugar and jam. :) These would remind me of home.

[@izzytemple5369]

I have had those before here in the US and it was so delicious!

[@atlasllm]

haku with the plastic and nagi stealing a donut the cats have gone wild, and somehow poki is still innocent

[@heavenlykitty22]

I love that the kitties all join you when you cook. It always makes me smile watching your cooking videos plus i learn some new things as well. It also reminds me of the fun of cooking with my own sweet kitties, though my oldest kitty has no interest in that anymore and prefers quiet naps away from the younger kitties and my puppy. I would love to see how to make more recipes that you enjoy as they motivate me to try new foods and dishes I had not tried before. Thank you for the amazing videos each time too.

[@samapollosadiegreen2357]

I LOVE that you and Rachel and your neighbors take care of the local cats💗💗💗💗💗 Thank you for the video Jun🤗🤗

[@randomnumbersequence]

That looks good! I can only imagine how flavorful the syrup would be in a month's time. I'd love to taste it. Surprised Nagi wanted a donut! Must be good!

[@luciascanlan-bloor2567]

The kitchen looks amazing, well done Jun and Rachel!

[@CM-ss5pe]

The captions were obviously challenged with 'sata andagi' but my personal favourite interpretation they had is definitely 'satan texts'.

[@willowpiano24]

I was actually thinking about you guys before, and then you uploaded! The kitchen looks so lovely! Glad you could make the kitchen exactly how you dreamed! The plums remind me of when I used to take green plums places and nobody would know what they were! The cats are so cute as well! I couldn't help laughing along when you opened up the carbonated water, and when Nagi sneakily snatched a donut from the plate! And of course, Haku rides the 'Jun's shoulder express' once again!

[@jaidadraco]

Nagi finally said enough is enough. He wants to try.

[@LelouchxSuzakufan]

The cup is so cute. I love how Nagi took the doughnut and was like ‘this 1 is mine.’

[@nefeli617]

Love the ways you cook with your kitties around and always bringing Haku out, your kitties so well behaved and cute ☺️

[@Historian212]

Wow, Nagi moved fast! Jun stayed composed and loving, what a nice guy. I loved Haku’s yawn: not impressed! Thanks again for a gentle, relaxing video that’s also so entertaining.

[@Twisted_Rose96]

NAGI IS SO FLUFFY I CAAAANT 😭😭❤️

[@estefaniabsa8908]

I want to take a moment to appreciate your content, both Jun and Rachel. It's so nice, no BS, no politics. Even if you guys swear or talk about depression, it's real life and completely safe and has a meaning. You are good people! Thank you so so much!

[@BlondeDGamer]

I never was taught to cook so having the gift of watching and learning from a culture whose food treats me wonderfully is so appreciated. Thank you for bringing us along! I hope you might do a kitchen basics for people with smaller hands or perhaps share safety tips. No matter what you all create, it is always a fun experience that I am grateful for. Be well, be safe!

[@helenemelon]

These cooking/cat love videos are so wholesome and cozy, always make me happy

[@DragonnAlpha]

I love nagi took a piece of a donut. So cute!!! Lol 😆 🥰

[@reynairu8741]

your cooking videos are always so relaxing because of your soft voice, i hear them over and over to calm down ^^

[@apostatelizzy6836]

I totally agree! Jun has such a calming presence 🥰

[@rcollinge5818]

His voice would sound alot better if he quit yelling at the camera and used a label mike.

[@pepeng-corp]

"ta daa.."

[@Ghost-Garage]

I don't know if I will be noticed but, thank you Jun for being an inspiration and I am proud of you and your wife Rachel I have been watching you guys since the old jun's kitchen videos like the edible sakura trees and とんかつ. I am glad you are back in the swing of things and the house looks beautiful and can't wait for he tour even though I remember the video of you and Rachel talking about it and showing the 3d model

[@darong21]

The new kitchen looks amazing! I've been binging a lot of your videos lately across all of your channels, great stuff! Keep it up

[@yuji17854]

なんて幸せな世界なんや……癒ししかない。 肝心の梅の話が入ってこないww

[@siouxgerowsays]

I grow that kind of shiso and I cannot believe how much you use, it seems so strong in flavor. It grows like crazy, I let one huge plant go to seed last year and it was the first thing sprouting after winter. Now it is all over the yard. I never knew the vinegar was what makes it redder. I chop and cook it in many things, that usually have an acid so I thought it was just what the plant did when you cook it. Now I know that trick - Thanks for sharing!

[@1Thunderfire]

This is such a wonderful-looking kitchen!

[@bertveldscholte1012]

Everybody has his own taste in kitchens i suppose! I think it looks very American-ish. With all the appliences in seperate cabinets. Doesnt look appealing to me. I like it more integrated as one

[@cryptid_ginger]

i usually never comment on videos, but i've been following both you and rachel for at least 5 years, on all of your channels, and i just want to say thank you. as someone who's battling with new discovered ADD, which at times gives me depressive and anxiety episodes, your cooking videos is like therapy for me

[@hellothere4764]

it's always a good day when Jun uploads!

your channel is such a comfort to me (yours and rachel's main channel too); i was saving this video for a day when i needed it, and that day was today anxiety decided to come knocking. it's not completely gone, but the way your videos are so calm (and have your wonderful kitties !) really helps. and it has been such an exciting journey to see you finally move into your dream kitchen !

[@horseshoesandspam7330]

Watching any video you make is always able to pull me out of any negative thoughts or emotions and makes me feel like there is no evil in the world, thank you.

[@hinachansansensei]

I was pleasantly surprised to see this on my feed, I wasn't expecting Jun-san to feature Okinawan anything! Just commenting to let y'all know, if there's anyone here who'd like to try making these from scratch, try searching for recipes online with the keywords "Hawaii andagi recipe" or something to that effect. In the Aloha State these doughnuts are usually just known as "andagi" and are a popular item at the annual Okinawan Festival, which this year (2022) is being held on September 3-4 if you're on Oahu. If not, try looking up the Hawaii United Okinawa Association, they have a channel on this platform if you're interested in Okinawan culture. Fair warning that most recipes I've seen for andagi don't use pancake mix and have a bit of a learning curve because they're deep-fried. They're delicious made fresh though so I encourage you to give it a try if you can! Thanks again to Jun-san for the happy coincidence of having andagi on the brain 🍽️

[@deleijon3415]

Nagi has fluffed up so much! he's adorable

[@Ai.sa.a]

Jun you and your cats make me happy to be alive that’s how much I love you and your videos

[@minuet2794]

Awww they're usually so patient. Let him have some donut dad. Poki being the bestest boi is the shocker of the whole video.

[@staceybrown5310]

Jun, I love watching yours and Rachel’s videos for years. Love your kitties, too. Today I took on fostering a very special cat. He was found in San Jose’s Japan town district. I thought he needed a Japanese name to honor that, so I am naming him Jun. my goal is to find this very special cat as loving a home as you and Rachel have given your babies. I wish you all the best.

[@dianaellul9345]

Your kitchen is lovely, it must be nice to have it how you like, so spacious. That's the first time I've seen one of your cats actually take some of the food you prepared.

[@judith8654]

I really love it that the chairs are still there! The cats are to cute watching you!

[@Lyrak]

Thanks to you and Rachel I finally caved and got my first Sakuraco box this month. I think the Okinawa treats made a good first box, though shipping all the way to America the donuts were somewhat less moist (I live completely opposite Japan so for that to be the only snack that suffered even a little bit on the trip is pretty impressive I think!). I have NEVER seen Nagi go after the food in one of your cooking videos so I guess he approves of your version. So strange that Poki was the well behaved one this time. 😂 I also continue to be amazed at how rich the yolks look on the eggs you get. Even the yolks from my uncle's chickens weren't so bright. In any case I've followed your channel through several kitchens now and it's amazing to see you finally with the kitchen you want with all that space and bright light.

[@GothMusicLatinAmerica]

So glad I watched to the end. Nagi has always been my favorite for a reason 🤣

[@rikkicrowder7134]

Nagi being a naughty boy at the end was too cute!! 😍

[@ingal7415]

There’s something healing about his videos 😭🙏🏻

[@silverserpent420]

So adorable when the bubbles tickled Nagi's nose when smelling the drink. What a fun video. We also have a, "cat community". Neighbors pitch in to have them fixed. They can roam free from home to home like trick or treaters getting treats!! What you are doing for the cats is amazing. It's a thankless job but very rewarding. So, Thank you.

[@yvettejaimes538]

I was feeling down, but I after I watched this lovely video, I feel relaxed and loving the cats. Thank you Jun!

[@midnightroads4180]

I was stationed in Okinawa for 2 years from 2010 to 2012. I miss the food there and just the overall environment. The sushi I would get from the local gas station was always so good. I can't wait to go back and visit someday.

[@MikeJF85]

Oh gosh Poki's back-and-forth eyes at 11:40 as he's tempted to steal one now that Nagi has done it.

[@missjoshemmett]

See? Even Nagi is glad you are back on! Following you from Kitchen to kitchen has been interesting. It always looked a little cramped for you but just right for me. Poki was doing so well. I think it started when he suddenly took an interest in Peci. Sharing, grooming, showing the ropes. Maybe Poki just grew up!

[@samsr2887]

in english we generally refer to ume as plums but they're actually apricots

[@rcollinge5818]

Jun, your cats are better behaved than most of the kids I see in the stores. You are a great example of the kind of Gentleman a dad would hope his daughter would marry.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Nagi and Poki switched roles at some point, lol! Adorable and brave that he flat out just stole the doughnut 😂
