【Ingredients I used*】 *Please do research on which ingredients are okay and not okay to use, how much and how often to feed when you make one for your cats. Sea bream Salmon Chicken tender (or chicken breast) Yellow Fin Tuna Bonito Stock Soup Catnip powder 1. Boil all the meat and fish for about a minute or two until they’re cooked. 2. Put them in a cold water and cool them down. 3. Chop them into tiny pieces. 4. Put the paste in a round mold (or a cup if you don't have a mold!) 5. Add bonito stock soup and sprinkle some catnip powder. [Note] ・Do not use fatty part of fish and/or chicken since it’ll have too many calories. ・Try giving a tiny piece of cooked fish or chicken to your cat to see if he/she will like it and won’t have problems digesting before making an actual meal. ・Again, please do research on your own.

Sharpening stones come in grits, and these two grits would be enough for a normal household knife. I used grits 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 8,000, and 12,000 in this video. The higher the number, the finer the sanding and the sharper the knife will be.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2-3) －Tofu－ 300g soybean 2800ml soft water* 15 -20ml nigari (or lemon juice) + 50ml water** * If you're not sure if your tap water is hard or soft, you can just use distilled water.

Here'are the ones I used this time green onion Chinese cabbage shiitake mushroom carrot thread konjac very thin, marbled beef slices INSTRUCTIONS -Tofu- 1. Soak the soybeans in water(1200ml). The soaking time depends on the water temperature. Summer: 25°C/77°F 10 hours Spring, Autumn: 15°C/59°F 20 hours Winter: 5°C/41°F 30 hours 2. Blend the soybeans and water in a mixer to make namago. (Namago is the Japanese word for that specific blended mixture of soybeans and water). 3. Boil 1600ml water in a large pan or pot and add the namago and stir for about 10 minutes. Make sure not to burn the namago at the bottom of the pan. 4. Turn off the heat and strain the namago with a filter cloth to get soy milk. The leftover is called okara and it's very healthy. I normally use it for making cookies. 5. Mix 20ml nigari (or lemon juice) and 50ml water together to make the coagulant for the soy milk. ("Your coagulant is a substance that will curdle the soy milk. You can use acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, or salt. Nigari, which is magnesium chloride, is popular in Japan, and calcium chloride is popular in North America." -huffingtonpost) 6. Heat up the soy milk and keep the temperature at 75°C. Add the nigari-water and stir gently. Do NOT mix too much. Turn off the heat and leave it for about 10 minutes. 7. While resting the soy milk, prepare a container for shaping the tofu. You can make holes in the bottom of a paper drink carton or tupperware, or y

I tried looking up products for preserving flowers that are similar to the ones I used, but unfortunately I couldn't find any. All the results I got were like drying flowers, using glycerin, or using silica gel. But the way I preserve and dye flowers using a single liquid is really convenient. If anyone knows a product similar to the one I used then please let me know!

I wanted to make a cat tree to complete my cooking room and decided to try making one out of driftwood! I've never built anything before so this was a new experience for me but I'm happy with how it turned out, and more importantly so are my cats!

- In Japan this is the season for mikan so I wanted to make a dinner meal with them. Orange sauce goes very well with white fish (I use isaki, aka chicken grunt). Any mildly flavored white fish will do! The flavors combine together very well so I hope you enjoy it. :)

- I tried to make a traditional-style Japanese meal for my cats! It's a set menu (miso soup, rice with furikake, and fish) except the food is all made out of cat-safe ingredients.

- I decided to try teaching my cats how to ring a bell!

- I've been wanting to do aquaponics (growing vegetables on a fish tank) for my kitchen. I'm making a cooking video with the veggies I grew for the next video!
