For some strange reason you really seem to have the ability/talent to convey the feeling like you are really talking to every single viewer personally. Not like a moderator who talks to a broad audience. Hard too explain but quite amazing. Best regards from Germany.

[@lonikaneki4122]

How are you such a positive person, good God, it radiates through the video. Lovee watching your videos.

[@scoshi6592]

Your life is goals 😭😂 No seriously that's how I want to start my life in Japan, MY tiny cute apartment, my money, my everything, no one to bother me 💕

[@BMTHLMAO]

Umm I've been binge watching your videos for 3 days and I'm obsessed I can't stop watching 😂😂😂😂

[@storieswithori]

I love watching you. so relaxing and drama free

[@laarisluc]

it's a fact, I've became addicted to your channel! rethinking all my life choices about cutting and peeling pumpkin, and also craving soup/puree. will definitely try this tomorrow also, love these type of videos along with the day in your life ones. you're so chill and calming and just so cute

[@TokidokiTraveller]

omggggg you are so nice! pumpkin puree/soup whatever it is is so good, i hope you enjoy it! Haha hooray for calm and chill! Thanks so much for watching ^^

[@denisegarcia8790]

How odd is it for me to just pretend we're friends and you're talking to me while cooking? 😂

[@seffay6875]

Hahaha! xD

[@ichumyi]

I tried your pumpkin soup recipe it's nice !!!! ✌🏻️✌🏻

[@TokidokiTraveller]

aw man thanks for giving it a go!! ^^

[@lifeasiknowit5688]

Tokidoki Traveller I tried it to and it was lovely !! I added chorizo :)

[@noojv]

@@lifeasiknowit5688 I'll have to try that.

[@stephanienarvaez5774]

Normally I would get annoyed that you keep repeating the part about the chopping board being your counter space, but you're so nice I actually find it charming! Love your videos! I have a tiny apartment too. Maybe I'll film it soon!

[@ellenchapman2896]

You are just so natural on your videos, love your channel.

[@llaurenx]

"Let's add a little bit of salt." *pours in whole container*

[@bref13]

that wasnt too much of salt actually

[@llaurenx]

bref13 sarcasm....

[@bref13]

Mr. Anime Well i dont see any sarcasm in there. If there was sarcasm, you would actually mean she uses a lot more than just a little as she said. Thats why i said it wasnt too much. If you didnt mean that there was no sense in that comment at all :D

[@Cristeepi]

haha, that was more than I'm used to eat too, but if that's little for her, so what😆?! that was a big portion and its okay. My family uses more than that for every single meal 😑 I'm glad I cut it down, now my taste buds changed and I can feel other tastes too, amazing✌😉

[@eunnikins]

It looked about right for that portion. Starchy veggies can take a lot of salt.

[@Glglgl2]

Yasss!! Make this a serie! I dont know what it is but your channel is love lovely&relaxing! 💕

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Yay! Thanks for letting me know ^^ I think it would be fun to have a series!

[@KristinaMarie96]

Where I come from that is called acorn squash and pumpkins are large orange gourds.

[@petalk95]

It's actually not an acorn squash. It's a Japanese variety of pumpkin squash.

[@toddbod94]

IvoryHermioneWeasley generally you can eat pumpkin so they wouldn't be considered gourds. Though gourds and squash all come from the same family cucurbitacae

[@oliviasophia8214]

i wash thinking the same thing

[@christy-anne-jones]

To be fair, that is a very cute soup dish. Also, I love how tiny your apartment is - it's so eccentric and adorable. And you make it so lovely with the flowers!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

yes!! I love cute anything, and i love soup, so i couldnt resist :') and thank you so much! Always trying to find new ways to make the space feel more homely ^^

[@allisefountain]

you're so sincere, happy, and endearing, I just started watching your videos and I love your attitude and choice to be a minimalist. You are inspiring in attitude and your simplicity of lifestyle. Even with a super small apartment I am jealous that you get to live in Japan, that's my dream. Keep being the beautiful you!

[@Marylovesfashion]

I love the videos where you make food in your tiny kitchen!!

[@youpippo81]

8:10 a volcano erupted and the goddess of volcanos said: "shush"

[@ChristianLieb]

Cooking and talking, I enjoyed listening. It's comforting. Like pumpkin soup. Thank you.

[@KendrysDraws]

you can cook the pumpkin first, then peel it. it comes off almost by itself

[@lolad7779]

Yep I always boil the pumpkin pieces first then peel off the skin like a banana. Haha works every time

[@ej3016]

Lola D idiot - you dont boil the whole squash you roast or bake it in the oven or cut it in half and roast or bake it in the toaster oven THEN you scoop out the flesh the part you eat with a spoon

[@elio_fay]

Elizabeth Johnston There's no need to call someone an idiot for doing something differently.

[@Grymbaldknight]

Your videos are just so sweet and simple. They're great to relax to, but without subtracting from the interest value of the content. They're just amazing!

[@nihongoheta]

I'm obsessed with rewatching your older videos in preparation for my move to Saga in a few months. Thank you for easing my fears about the transition your stuff makes me feel so calm ❤

[@AilsaLipscombe]

I just discovered your KZbin channel and can't stop watching! I'm a New Zealander studying in the U.S. and it's so comforting to follow the journey of someone else from my neck of the woods as they navigate life abroad!

[@brittany8305]

Yes!! Please make a series of videos with your cooking and chatting. I love seeing how you adapt recipes and cook in a tiny space :)

[@gracewilliams5521]

I love all of your videos , I like watching them before going to bed because they put me in such a happy and serene mood! Thank you so much for including us in your day to day routine! :-)

[@FiatVentusCreations]

I was so proud of myself because o read the little hiragana characters!! I've spent the last two weeks trying learn them. Thank you for the video!

[@mattmcclure912]

Like your video. Your apartment reminds me of driving a 18 wheeler and living for weeks at a time in the sleeper. Cooking and all in a very small space. Eating at a Truck-stop is risky. Just keep it together. You are doing a Great job.

[@GuacamoleKun]

That looks amazing and so easy!! I'll try it. Including the thickness of the soup and the burntness of the toast, because they look PERFECT.

[@catstale9522]

More videos like this please! I'm so impressed at how well you deal with your tiny kitchen, I would never have been able to get anything done there. Kudos! ^^

[@teardropsrnng]

your videos are so relaxing, positive, and enjoyable. keep doing what you're doing!

[@Nerdymondays]

I've been like marathoning your videos lately and so love your tiny apartment. It is so cool to see how quickly you've reached 2,000 subscribers since your 1,000 mark. It's been lovely getting to know you. (:

[@TokidokiTraveller]

haha omg thank you so much!! it's been a fun journey ^^ thanks so much for watching :) you're so sweet!

[@Darkyuki13]

I love seeing how you get creative, cooking in your tiny kitchen. I enjoy these types of videos. ^^

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Yay! Glad you enjoy them ^^ thanks for watching!

[@aikotobe4271]

yum! pls make more videos of you cooking in your kawaii kitchen. Also, a day in my life is just so interseting. love all your videos!

[@lianc3557]

These kitchen chat videos are so relaxing.

[@Cristeepi]

i just paused to tell you this😂 you can peel the pumpkin first and then cut it, that way you don't waste that much😉 I wanna see how it turns out now, haha

[@Cristeepi]

I have so much to say, think I'll just say a little, haha I'm so glad I found your channel, everything about you is awesome, great, amazing ( i need to find other adjectives xD) you're so funny and optimistic and I like how you insert those life quotes, that are really motivational for me, hihi, can't wait to binge watch other videos with you in your little apartment, yayy. I don't always comment in yt videos, lol. And I need to try a pumpkin soup ASAP, I'd also add some garlic or onions, with garlic bread, yumm. Your soup is what I call mashed potatoes/pumpkin, haha, where I live our soups are simply like some veggies cooked in veggie broth in a water like consistency. okay I'll stop right now😳 have a good day, Emma✌😄

[@alexandrapoole7124]

I'm really craving pumpkin soup now, that looked so good and this video was so cute and calming, keep doing chatty kitchen videos please! i feel like we're friends and you're having a chat to me whilst cooking awhh

[@MaryMaryMary.]

I bet a sweet potato in the soup as well would be great!

[@amorgan78]

In america we call those blenders immersion blenders or stick blenders. I love your channel! I am not sure why but your channel always makes me so happy😊

[@TheCuriosetta]

"Don't let society's standards for blending stick hold you back" such wisdom, needed this.

[@silverstitch28]

its inspirational to see you settling in and dealing with such confined space.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Thanks so much!!! Sometimes it can be a challenge, but if i do my best I can always find a way around things! ^^

[@bananaLOVE11]

Your videos are so wonderful and relaxing! I love how sweet and calm and funny you are : ) you should definitely do more of these. Also, now I have to try pumpkin soup! Thanks for that!

[@animecats77]

That pouring action! I love it so much, it's so gloopy!

[@KellyMorita]

Can't wait to see you today!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Yay! I'm so excited ^^

[@valdepulchrapuella]

Try adding some apple and onion. Nice flavor with pumpkin/squashes.

[@raemondrose3349]

Hhhhh I need to write this down that sounds so yum

[@moniaomar1548]

I love these kinda videos! cause I actually use these recipes to learn how to cook!

[@christinefunk9743]

Just loooove your videos! You have such a nice personality that is simply nice to watch as it brights up my day 😊 Thank you! Looking forward to new videos. Defenitely going to make pumpkin soup today 😀

[@kimnorris9445]

Here in Canada we call them "immersion blenders". Also, I use butternut squash for soup as well because they are easier to peel with a potato peeler before chopping. Some cinnamon, curry, salt, pepper. yum. Thank you for the videos. You are very honest and open.

[@susaaria]

I love watching people cook and you are so soothing to listen to xD

[@JennarsLuv]

I made non-dairy creamy potatoe soup for the first time a few weeks ago! (I'm lactose intolerant) it's great to see a channel with the same diet as me! Almond milk is saving grace haha. I didn't have the blendy stick thing so I transported the softened potatoes into the blender and then back into the pot. I ran out of vegetable broth so it was REALLY thick. but I like thick soups too! Although next time I'll add more vegetable broth

[@nia232]

You made pumpkin and potato mash.

[@darrenjohnnie6324]

Definitely do more food making videos! It's super interesting seeing what you can make with that kitchen :p

[@iiRiceDino]

I love these types of vids, I'd love to see more! :-) You're super charming and fun to watch

[@chaos3461]

I love these videos, please make more 😭❤️

[@kawaiikowai08]

Get yourself a bowl or square bucket that fits in your sink and as you peel you can just sweep it off the cutting board into the sink bowl and empty it later :)

[@ReBeckyFernandez]

Your videos are great, greetings from Florida. You have such a great energy .. keep it up! Looking forward to many more videos!!

[@kiki-kundeliveryservice1918]

Girl you are the cutest j youtuber and that goofy sense of humour, luv it. Best of luck with your channel 🍀

[@mctube90]

Great chef conquering a small kitchen. Made me laugh a lot

[@christinajoanne8177]

I love your videos! You are just so down to earth, and I'll probably make your recipe for pumpkin soup, it seems so simple, and something I can eat for breakfast! Thank you!

[@karolxdennisse]

I keep watching this video because I always forget the recipe and is the best soup ever!!

[@Lily12345-j]

you are great. i feel so relaxed when watching your videos.

[@Alicia_W413]

Just subscribed. Love your tiny apartment, love these videos. Felt like I was chatting with a friend.

I love ur videos; they're so cute and relaxing! Reminds me of the time when I lived in Japan! ^^

[@kenichidc]

Loving your channel Love this tiny kitchen series

[@HellowWorldHailey]

I love your little pot. Melt my heart too.

[@kartoonisWorld]

Think that was more of a pumpkin mash potato lol Looked really good anyway! Love this video and your others documenting your life in Japan!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Yeah I think it is definitely no longer a soup! and thanks so much for watching! ^^

[@thedaintypancake]

You are a delight :) I just found you, but man, wish i found you a way long time ago!!! I find your vids crazy interesting and could just binge watch them all day :)

[@shihiro]

I watch a few J-vloggers but you are my favourite (: I grow two types of Japanese pumpkins here in Canada i love them! so yummy.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

AW!!! thank you so much :D man i'd love to grow some vegetables, i wonder if i will ever have the space to grow pumpkins? hrmmm maybe if i use a community garden! Jealous of your pumpkin growing ability!

[@jpwhataboutit]

I eat my oatmeal scooped on my toast . Yum! Going to give this soup recipe a try for New Years Eve. Love from Michigan USA! God bless!

[@soulful_living_asmr6405]

I bumped into your channel one day, since then I am your huge fan! I love your apartment, and your vlog! Keep going girl! Regards from India!

[@raemondrose3349]

Gosh this was such a cute and nice video I know it's like super old but it was in my suggestions bar I really like your food videos and hope to see more, the 7-11 video with your friend was great I had zero idea how to make a pumpkin soup from scratch and this looked really delicious, I want to try it

[@sidratauqeer1408]

you remind me of my days when I use to live by myself all alone in canada my appartment wasn't tiny though....but I use to live by myself I was sponsoring my husband at that time that was a hard time I spent without my husband but now he's here 😊😊 u go girl !.... like ur videos 😊

[@sweetcanada17]

If you have an oven you could bake/roast the pumpkin to make it nice and soft so you're able to just scoop it out of the shell with a spoon. And that way you waste way less pumpkin.

[@madicccccc123]

I LOVE YOUR TINY KITCHEN COOKING VIDEOS!

[@mayab0000]

hahahahaha ❤❤❤❤ "and this bubble went BRLLL" 😂😂😂😂 i love how she recreats those sounds

[@Phoelfman]

this made me really happy, i'm searching for a house too and i guess it doesn't matter how big an apartment is, it's how 'yours' you make it. And i love how you did arrange everything! you need more subs xx

[@Em-sf6sr]

these cooking videos and your day in the life videos are my total favorites right now! could you at some point possibly take us along to a 100 yen shop? that would be interesting!

[@daisyrainbow9972]

You can take the seeds out of the "pumpkin" (just squash here in Canada) roughly cut it . oil it a bit then throw it in your toaster oven. It adds even more flavour and the skin just slides off when it is soft. Truthfully though I always just throw squash like that in the microwave for like 10 minutes whole then seed and peel when it is cooked. To thin out root veggie soups if you don't do dairy than use chicken broth. Even a Raman flavour pack and some hot water. In a later video you make mashed potatoes -a cool thing I do is make the mash with the water barely covering the potatoes OVERCOOK them then use that stick blender (immersion blender) to mash/ blend with some butter and milk(chicken stock) and TADA! Potato soup! Miraculously simple and so tasty. Feel free to throw in bits of bacon or ham and any veggies you like (frozen corn is a hit here) and enjoy!

[@nanamarie5792]

Mine is 1 little pumpkin 2 potato 3 carrots A little butter 1 cup of milk or until creamy A table spoon of cream fraiche And som salt

[@BrainMusicCenter]

You got an immersion blender! That is what I call mine, probably one of my favorite kitchen tools as I also make soups quite often. Also pumpkin soup looks delicious and I wish pumpkins were available more often in America. It seems here they only come out for Halloween.

[@maryfoos2445]

Really enjoying your channel. You should do a cooking segment on a regular basis, your a great cook.

[@RavenReisinger]

I do butternut squash soup. it's a seasonal fall dish. I do basically the same thing you do with the kabucha but with butternut squash. add some salt, pepper, cumin, and a DASH of cinnamon.

[@lichtausbienean6128]

I add onion, garlic, carrot and sometimes apple to the soup which gives it a different flavor, especially butternut goes great with carrots and apples

[@thezionzion]

ur soup turned out to look just like mashed sweet potatoes!

[@xxxtamachanxxx]

Your videos always put a huge smile on my face! I'm always so happy to see one appear on my subscription box :D

[@TokidokiTraveller]

[@Simply.Owanda]

OMG just found your channel! I'm obsessed with "tiny house" videos atm an Aussie and studied Japanese all through high school! Perfect channel for me 😊 I don't know how those toaster ovens work I wonder if you could roast the pumpkin then scoop the purée ???

[@lscsophia8529]

The pumpkin soup looks really nice and yummy! I also love the thickness, but adding some soy milk might be nice too. Regarding the pumpkin, my mom told me to use microwave if the Kabocha (the Japanese pumpkin) is too hard to cut in raw.

[@PinkFrecklWavez]

Hi Emma, I love your style, great editing, very chilled vibe and general adorableness ;)

[@raemondrose3349]

I came here looking for this comment after four years

[@PinkFrecklWavez]

​@@raemondrose3349amazing 😊 Did you add curry powder to your pumpkin soup? 😅

[@raemondrose3349]

@@PinkFrecklWavez I haven't made the soup yet because I've had a lot going on but I'm getting there! Would curry powder and apple work together?

[@noojv]

@Tokidoki Traveller You have quickly become one of my favorite youtubers recently. I started watching Chris Broad, then TC, then you, then the rest of the gang little by little. I really enjoy these kitchen chats. I get to try delicious new recipes (made Yakisoba today) and the videos feel like catching up with an old friend. Take care and thanks for all the videos 😉 EDIT: "proboblem" killed me

[@emiable]

Rilakkuma in a party hat is so cute! I have never had Pumpkin soup, but now I want to try some

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Give it a go sometime! i love it so much it's my go to comfort food ^^

Looks good, I'd call that pumpkin mash though 😋

[@mochichi3571]

I love chatty videos so much. I also love tiny spaces, your kitchen is super cute. But if you don't make anymore of these I wouldn't have a proboblem ;)

[@GuacamoleKun]

Thank you for this nice simple cozy recipe! I made it and it turned out pretty well!! I'll have to perfect my technique. For one thing I used an acorn squash because I have no idea what kind of pumpkin you've got there.

[@criminallyinsanecaterpilla6749]

Ingenious....if it doesn't fit, crush it until it does. Just made me giggle.

[@mckennab1338]

I don't have a recipe for pumpkin soup but I have one for vegetarian (maybe vegan) pumpkin chili. I'll go find it & post it for you. Love the apartment too. Obsessed with micro spaces!

[@jayel1471]

I would say you could gather up the pumpkin offcuts, coat in oil/spices/salt and roast in the oven but you don't have an oven. It could possibly work in the grill.

[@GhostsOfThings]

Oh my goodness I have the thing where I get sentences and such stuck in my head in the mornings and I haven't run into anyone else who does. That's so funny!

[@Aussiemumm]

I put Thai red (or green) curry paste in my pumpkin soup :) it needs to be cooked off first, before you put the water in :) I love pumpkin soup! I call that contraption a 'stab blender' :)
