Old Enough to Travel Alone? | SEATTLE | First Challenge

Have you ever been abroad alone? This is my first big challenge. Will it be okay to be away from 4 years old for a week, is it okay as a mother to leave all the housework to my husband? It takes courage to take on challenges that are outside of my comfort zone. Somewhere along the way I realized that I was still under the spell that I should stay home as a mother. So instead of making various excuses to stop trying, I'm setting off on my own. And here I am in Seattle...!! Thank you for all your support Kimonoko!

Thank you for watching Kimonoko!🥰Today's video is a very big challenge for me, who was a stay-at-home mom. It was work, but for some reason I felt guilty about leaving the kids and all the household chores with my husband for a week and going out. Of course my husband has given me the greatest support and I realized it was me who was stopping myself. I want to express my gratitude to all those who made this trip possible!!❤‍🔥 🌏Get NordVPN Birthday deal + 4 months extra and a gift for a friend here ➼ nordvpn.com/kimonom/ It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee! ✈ANA www.ana.co.jp/en/us/ ANA, we always use, will make your air travel comfortable with the best hospitality.

[@niraakara]

Great to see you’re expanding the production of Umami sauce! Thank you Moe-San! All the best for your business trip! Just one suggestion… Would you please also consider a sugar-free option since many are trying to reduce sugar intake which comes in all products? If sweetness is important perhaps a small amount of monk fruit sweetener could be considered? Loved this video and how Moto San and Sutan chan are getting along independently! ❤️❤️❤️ Great job both!! I loved Moto San’s visual menu! His artistic touch shows in everything!

[@heartoflotus]

Thank you for that suggestion. I do not eat sugar either. I would appreciate a sugar-free option too! @@niraakara

[@heartoflotus]

Congratulations on expanding your manufacturing of your Umami sauce to the US! Wishing you safe travels! 🙏💖😊

This is where we see how well Kimono Mom has raised Sutan and how she and Moto have set up a household that's a true partnership. Sutan is just so adorable - when a child is at that age we know it's a dilemma to be away from your child for a week.

[@DianeMatlock]

I'm so PROUD OF YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY'S SUCCESS...🫠 Best wishes, for your success. Hi SUTAN AND MOTO... TOGETHER YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB🤗.

[@mottokittokatto]

Sutan calling "Mama!" and waving bye-bye at the airport really touched my heart! 💗🥲 Moto and Sutan did a wonderful job keeping their spirits up and making all the lovely messages for Moe! (and I loved the big menu board they drew! 🤩)

[@KimonoMom]

Thank you so much for supporting us, Motto! I cried while editing!🥹❤️The bravest person on this trip is Sutan!😊

[@ChrisPage68]

@@KimonoMom Sometimes I forget she's just a little girl when she comes out with her wise statements. Moments like this are a gentle reminder. She's such a sweetheart - just like Mommy. ❤️

[@yummibooks]

"Is mommy there? I can't see. Bye bye!" Why is Sutan SO cute 😭🩷

[@CKPeppi]

You are actually setting the best example as a Mom. Showing Sutan by example to be a strong and inspiring woman, living her true self, having wishes and hopes and dreams for yourself only and pushing through. I am speaking by experience. When my daughter was the age of Sutan, I had the same doubts and felt the same pressure. And now my daughter is 16 years old and thanked me, knowing for sure that me too I will support her with her wishes and dreams one day and that no pressure on her will come from me.

[@loyeetiennmoe]

Moe’s english has improved! And Sutan and her parents are just like me and my family, so cute🥺 Im gonna cry

[@xWabbli]

I noticed, too! So nice to hear her English improving.

[@ed10523]

Hello Kimono Mom..I cried when Sutan Called for you and Said Good luck. She is the Sweetest Assistant. You are Very Blessed.

I just want to say you and Moto are both such wonderful parents. Sutan is a very lucky girl to have you both and is so sweet and loving because of your example.

it has been almost 4 years that i've been watching Kimono mom and Sutan, it feels like i started to watch you a few weeks ago. I love your channel!

Moe, you and Sutan are the sweetest! I cried watching this video, thank you for sharing these beautiful family moments. Please cherish every moment! Also be kind to yourself and gentle! You are doing an amazing job, I know it’s not easy, but you make it seem so beautiful 😍 love you!!!

[@pallaviraina2449]

Dear Moe, Sutan and Moto, thank you so much for everything! Thank you especially for teaching us not only cooking and parenting. You are also teaching us some good ways of living - facing things calmly, treasuring our selves, being brave, and being elegant and courteous. It's a very real and very wonderful way to be human. KimonoMom is our wonderful hero mom, whom we aspire to be more like in so many ways.

[@wheretracygoes]

aww their video messages are so precious 🥰 traveling alone is always a bit scary but getting videos like that really help! Have fun in New York!

[@VincciWincci]

From the title I thought you were putting Sutan on a plane by herself! This video is so cute!

[@ylsflv]

Lol I read it this way toooo

[@Simplicity4711]

Yeah I thought Sutan travels 😂

[@elmin82]

I thought the same eh eh

[@joboyhertez2533]

That’s what i thought, too….😊

[@debbijay]

SUTAN and MOTO-SAN...You both did a great job together to make it easy for MOE / MUMMY to go and do this quick trip which will bring so much happiness to you all and to the company. SUTAN...you are so cute. Good job! And MOE...As a mother myself, I know the heartstrings that are being pulled in going on a small business trip...but faith in your family is so strong. You and Moto have built a beautiful family. What a great foundation to leap into your future from. May God bless you all so much that you have much to give away to those in need.

[@teresar6348]

From the thumbnail and intro I thought SUTAN was flying alone as an unaccompanied minor lol. And on that note, you are still a great parent even taking time away. Good parenting is not measured on spending every hour or every bit of money on them, but your effort, planning, and learning.

[@Sequoia4132]

I think that was the intent of the thumbnail... i.e- clickbait. 😉

[@ValiantVicuna]

Welcome to Seattle! I hope you have a nice trip! I also love how your hubby turned his lunch break into a promotion for your sauce! Love a supportive husband!

[@Rimlay0823]

Moe-San ❤❤. My daughter is same age as Sutan-chan and I would cry like a baby if I had to leave her! Bless your strength!! I have the same green sweater too Moe-San!! ❤❤❤

Otsukaresama!! Awesome trip! And fantastic to have such success with the Seattle umami factory! Thats huge!! Great work at home also, Moto seems to put a t lot of love to the daily planning, cooking, cleaning etc haha I should make a weekly cooking schedule also!

[@chibimarie5420]

I’ve gotten used to flying alone but when I did my first international flight alone, I was a bit nervous. Once you do it more, it’ll get easier and become second nature just like any other flight. But leaving behind your spouse and child, I imagine will never be easy. My last international trip, I was away for a month. No kids but I have a dog which is pretty much my child and she’s a mama’s girl so I was a little worried. But the reunion after an international trip is always the best!

[@patrickb6775]

I'm so in love with the way your husband went out of his way to do extra cleaning and organization to make a surprise for you.

[@doubletalkwithme]

I'm from Seattle! I love your videos and your family is so cute. Good luck with everything!❤

Glad you had a good time in our city! 😄 Moto and Sutan are doing well but I'm sure they miss you too. Enjoy New York!

[@keithhudson1358]

Moe, I loved this video and your trip to Seattle with your Usami sauce. Your husband and your daughter Sutan did an excellent job while you were gone, and that was a nice touch to the video. That is what made this video extra special, seeing your husband and daughter saying goodbye at the airport and giving you lots of love through the phone on what they did while you were gone so you would not have to worry about them. Glad you had a safe trip to Seattle and hopefully will have safe trip to NYC.

[@blackgirlyellowsunvibes]

Hope/Hoped you enjoyed Seattle! Honestly there's a lot to see in the whole of WA state and specifically the PNW. It's a great place!!

[@spliffwizard420]

What a lovely family! Moto is such a good father, and teacher.

[@grm773]

Sutan and her dad still doing videos while you’re away it was fun, watching their interactions together

[@21BJBBVIP]

Whenever Sutan joins a cooking video she looks as if she’s grown a lot bigger but in this video it reminds me she’s still such a small cute little girl ❤

[@SunFlowersCutie]

Always looking forward to new vids from this family. Just heartwarming and so happy they can work within the same business together as a family.

[@AP-qt4mt]

I found that travelling to a foreign place alone can lead to a lot of *self-discovery.* Without the influence of other people, you'll be surprised on how much more you can get to know yourself better. Your judgements, tendencies and ways of coping with unfamiliar situations can reveal your true nature. When you are forced to adapt you learn, and you change. That's why it's an experience anybody should try and not be afraid of.

[@SeattleSeaDragon]

Been watching since your tonkatsu video. And your journey has been just amazing. And im so excited to be able to try your cooking sauce. Thank you.

[@edwardwong3074]

Have fun in Seattle stay safe …. Hope your stress melts away. 😊

[@MISSYGful]

Can we just give a shout out to Moto! What a fantastic husband and father. That's how you do it guys!

[@CeritaFandaVancouver]

Both of you are working so hard on a daily basis to make a living, growing your business, and raising Sutan. Yet both of you really know how practice life balance and always make time for each other to keep nurturing a happy contented relationship. By doing that, you are also teaching Sutan how to live a life. Big kudo of taking this first challenge!

[@WritingandFighting]

Most of the time the obstacles in front of us are the ones we imagine indeed. And it's now been around three years since I first saw Sutan. She's soaring. So thoughtful.
