Sakuraco (Hokkaido Summer box is only available until June 30th!) sakura.co/?rfsn=5730841.fb6c9d Welcome to my vlog channel! And I’m sorry for the long wait! I’ve been working on building a house/kitchen and I’m almost done with planning. It’s finally happening! It’s all thanks to you guys and thank you so much! Also, Rachel liked it a lot, especially the donuts! Thank you for watching!

[@Scottsgamerlounge]

No need to apologize! So happy you’re house is underway in the planning stage! Great video Jun!

[@ndrpspsty1215]

I wish you’ll make more dishes using sakuraco’s stuff.. those desserts look wonderful ✨✨✨

[@ChurchOfThought]

This looked great but isn't it going to be too sweet? Most of the food you make seems pretty healthy. Are japanese snacks usually low in sugar, or made from fruit rather than cane sugar?

[@m.thompson3919]

Aww. I was hoping to see her reaction! Thanks for the updating us on her reaction in the comments, though. ☺️ This looked really fun to make! 😁

[@patrikhjorth3291]

All of this looks absolutely fantastic. My cat used to _love_ melons. No joke, she would literally fight me for it. I wouldn't even have had time to put ham on it. Also, now I'm _even more_ certain that if I ever move to Japan, however unlikely, I will want to live in (on?) Hokkaido.

[@ZetsubouJohnny]

Remember when poki wasn't allowed in the kitchen? I'm so proud of him. I await the future videos where both poki and pechi are in audience.

[@ChurchOfThought]

Poki is pretty well behaved, did you see the bell ringing video? Smart kot

But also, he enjoys cooking, and doing things for her. So it's not like he is doing it and not feeling good after. It's all so sweet :) They really are a match.

Its pretty much how Japanese people are. They don't talk "I love you" over and over. They do nice things to you so you feel loved. Which honestly, speaks volumes. Words are just words.

[@Niriixa]

There's people who sprinkle salt on their melons to enhance the sweetness, I think the ham works well in that way, too!!

[@ChurchOfThought]

People do that with grapefruit too. Seems strange to me. 🐈

[@Niriixa]

@@ChurchOfThought It's only a little! Have you ever had chocolate covered pretzels? It's the same principle, sweet and salty work well together :)

@@Niriixa Ah yeah, but I like dark chocolate pretzels, I think the less sugar the better. But true, a salty hot cinnamon sugar pretzel from a baker is very good...!

[@burglornguyen2123]

Bruh ham is already salted

[@Niriixa]

@@burglornguyen2123 I wasn't talking about salting the ham on top of the melon😂 Some people put a very light sprinkle of salt on their melon to enhance the sweetness. The ham Jun uses in the video does the same with its saltiness. The combination of flavors works well.

[@reekhadol]

Raw ham and melon is the most common way to eat melon in the summer in Italy! IT IS ONLY DONE IN ITALY AND NO OTHER COUNTRIES AT ALL DON'T LOOK AT THE COMMENTS

[@BrittleScarMusic]

I must try this at some point ti sounds more delicious the more i hear about it

[@neccosan]

Jun I dunno if you know this but, your English got so good that you have a Midwestern accent mixed in with a Japanese accent and it's so cool 😂

@sweet mint maybeits the mixture of Canadian and japanese that makes it sound midwestern, I have a mexican accent but have been practicing a lot and I've been asked if I'm irish???

[@InvdrDana]

I haven't been to Japan, but one ramen restaurant I went to had a melon-soda honeydew float and it was soooo good. I tried to find the soda online afterward, but I guess it's just not commercially available in the U.S. Not even in the local international stores (and they have everything @_@).

My friends always tease me because I put salt on my melons (watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe) which amplifies the sweetness.

I love the diversity of treats he can whip up in an afternoon with only a few ingredients. Thanks for sharing this fun and inspiring video!

This is amazing!!!! But we wish to see Rachel's reaction to the desserts too 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@CeCe1066]

Rachel’s said in a few of their videos that she’s made it a point to only be on camera when she feels comfortable. Not sure if that’s the case here, but they’re busy building a house and living their lives so I don’t think we should push them to do anything they don’t feel comfortable doing ☺️ There’s a video of Jun making presents for Rachel where he includes a clip of her reaction, and the comment section was brutal. Comments were calling Rachel out for not reacting “correctly” or appreciating the gift, and it was just so unnecessary and rude. As much as I adore Rachel and Jun and the community they’ve built, some commentors can be pretty insensitive and it sucks to know they both have to read comments like that.

[@itsmejt9283]

@@CeCe1066 thank you for saying that. I didn’t forget their circumstances and what happened in the past. Of course I don’t want to pressure them or anything🥺 I just want to see Rachel happy 😊
