sponsored by squarespace these are the
latest japanese home appliances
[Music]
so i was recently looking at japanese
home appliances and discovered that
there's just so many cool products today
that i wanted to make a video and share
with you so i contacted one of the
largest electronic stores here in japan
nojima and they agreed to show me around
today i'm so excited to do this video
because i love electronics and the fact
that i get to share it all with you
in a real deal electronics store makes
it even
better without further ado let me show
you the latest and greatest in japanese
home technology
[Music]
so to start this video off i had to
start with one of the home appliances
that i love the most because i have it
in my own house one of the things about
japan is that they have all in one
washer and dryer and this guy
is like at the cream of the crop because
one does that but it has a bunch of
other features
so for example it has its own built-in
detergent
and softener tank you can flip up the
lid and you can put
in your detergent you can put your
softener all in advance so that when you
start the machine
it does it all automatically and based
on the load
it'll sense how much laundry you have
inside of the drum and it will adjust
the detergent
accordingly also japanese washer dryer
machines usually take about two to three
hours to finish the laundry but this one
is a lot faster
and only takes about one and a half
hours it's been such a lifesaver with
our new baby allowing us to easily do
multiple loads per day so those are just
some of my favorite features but maybe
ryota can explain
some more features that he also likes
about this
[Music]
iron is supposed to go deep into the
fabric and wash away bacteria
odors and even pollen all without using
detergent or even water
in fact many japanese struggle with
pollen allergy so it's a highly sought
after feature
another dope feature is that it creates
a very fine rich foam from the liquid
detergent before mixing with water which
is supposed to better remove
oils and dirt stains so that's it for
this washing machine
i really do love it so i had to share it
with you but you can't stay here all day
so let's move on to the next one now
let's move on to the refrigerator so
i've been doing a lot of research these
days because my current fridge is older
than 10 years
and this new one really caught my eye so
this is mitsubishi's
newest model the mr mxd50g
upper refrigerated section has two lower
sliding trays the upper tray is chilled
at about 0 degrees celsius
32 degrees fahrenheit to store processed
food and dairy products while the lower
tray is set from minus 3 to 0 degrees
celsius for your raw proteins
it also has an ai quick freezer drawer
ice machine
giant vegetable compartment in the
middle and a freezer at the bottom
oh and it's got a basic touch panel so i
had to introduce
this next refrigerator because it has
some pretty cool features that i found
one of my favorite features is a quick
freeze ai which uses ai to rapidly
freeze items to minus seven degrees
celsius about 29 degrees fahrenheit
which reduces the leaking of umami
and nutrition as you can see here long
freezing processes cause more damage to
cells in the food
so basically this freezing tray just
behind me
allows you to freeze all of your goods
and make it so it doesn't freeze into
one block
it's actually on at the moment all of
the frozen components makes it kind of
like frozen
but it doesn't actually freeze it also
with your meat
if you touch it it's still easy it's not
like a super hard block so you can cut
it really easily
the ai is also supposed to predict how
the food will be used
and freeze accordingly funny because
sometimes i don't even know how i'm
going to use the food
in the refrigerator section it has a raw
meat
section this raw meat section keeps
freezing air
passing through it it never really
freezes the raw meat it says that like
with meat usually it'll last
four to five days but with this system
it lasts up to 10
days and then with raw fish you usually
last one to two days but in this case it
lasts
up to three days so this is like one of
the features that michael
really wants because he likes to cook
but sometimes she doesn't have the time
to cook and
with meat it goes bad really quickly so
that you know if you can have
your steaks or whatever lasts an extra
five days longer than what it would
usually last and you can still
eat it like you're fresh it's pretty
awesome and another feature
that i really love is the vegetable tray
here
if you pull it out like this you can see
there's separate compartments
it's designed to sort different size
vegetables but even better
is that it maintains moisture in the
compartment to keep vegetables fresh
plus it uses a special led light to
simulate photosynthesis
claiming that increases vitamin c by 23
which reinforces the greening as well a
feature that i've never heard of before
so yeah so those are the features
that i love about this refrigerator now
let me show you the microwaves so it's
still not common in japanese households
to have a built-in oven
so people often purchase microwaves with
oven features
and this new helsio water oven from
sharp really caught my attention
so this microwave oven i really wanted
to introduce because it has some cool ai
features
it has a sensor built in where you're
able to put in
food of different temperatures so you
can put something that's frozen
something that is refrigerated and
something that's room temperature
all in one tray and it'll cook it so
that it all cooks
all at once the sensor is so sensitive
that you can even cook
foods with all different temperatures on
two separate trays
and it will cook everything evenly when
i was growing up i never had something
like this
so it just really really caught my
attention
[Music]
steam to cook like you would use oil to
grill or fry
but with just using water different than
steaming food
apparently the heating system creates a
superheated seam that generates over 100
degrees celsius 212 degrees fahrenheit
cooking temperature a heating power
eight times more than the average home
oven allowing it to quickly penetrate
and heat food from the inside so using
the ai sensor and steam cooking
technology you can cook
frozen rice room temperature curry in a
metal pouch and a raw egg
all at the same time and nothing will
explode better yet
it cooks it all evenly also because it
can use water to cook it can help remove
excess oil and salt without losing all
of that umami so that is why i chose
this microwave oven because there's just
so many cool features so that's it
let's move on to the next one before we
continue on i want to give a quick shout

or website that all said let's continue
on with some japanese appliances
now let's shuffle over to the rice
cookers if you didn't know it
japanese love their rice and to go along
with that they've developed some of the
most
technologically advanced rice cookers in
the world some even costing
more than a thousand dollars a great
departure from the big floral printed
pot style rice cooker i had back in the
states the rice cookers here can not
only cook rice perfectly to suit the
meal but
also have advanced features to rapidly
cook rice adjust depending on the grain
of rice and
even keep rice warm and delicious for up
to 40 hours after being cooked
so this video wouldn't be complete if i
didn't include a rice cooker
in the mix and this rice cooker is a
super special
it uses a bowl that's made out of
charcoal and two
it has a way of cooking 50 different
types of rice which is kind of
interesting because a lot of people
don't know that there's
50 different kinds of rice but this rice
cooker does and it knows how to cook
all of them on top of that you can
choose from 15 different preferences
based on what meal you're cooking that
day whether it be for curry
donburi or even sushi damn growing up i
thought there was only one type of rice
so the average thickness of ordinary
pots are three to five millimeters
but the bottom of this pot is 10
millimeters thick which creates a higher
thermal conductivity
to make this charcoal pot it takes the
craftsman 100 days
it's more time consuming compared to
other materials but the payoff is that
it generates heat quicker
and it can heat up the center of the pot
40 times more efficiently
you can see that it's not just flat and
because it's not just flat
when the water bubbles they can actually
cook not only the size but the center of
all of the rice so everything just cooks
evenly also most rice cookers use
pressure to cook while this one doesn't
when you cook without pressure it
creates a veil of water around each
grain of rice
locking in the umami inside and giving
the rice a shiny look
this is why rice made by kamado is
supposed to be tasty
even when it's cold if you're looking to
collect a curry if you're looking to
cook
donburi or even looking to cook sushi
this guy can do it all time for the air
purifiers
one of the most popular selling items
this year interestingly since japan is a
very small country with minimal space in
homes
these appliances are often combined with
a humidifier feature
also one of the characteristics of japan
made air purifiers is that it comes with
ion generators like the panasonic nano 8
or sharp plasma cluster the one i'm
showing you today
so with everything going on with the
world today
we had to definitely include an air
filter and
these things are so popular here in
japan and this is one of the top
air filters it has some super super
duper features so first of all
this sharp uses plasma cluster so it's
like a special
technology to clean the air so viruses
and smelly bacteria in the air are all
made up of a chemical compound
the plasma cluster technology is able to
remove the hydrogen from the compounds
to eliminate odors
such as body odor pet smell cigarette
smells
cooking odors and even that damp laundry
smell common in japanese homes
during rainy seasons
the newest model plasma cluster next can
produce a high concentration of ion
particles and disperse it throughout the
room which is supposed to create a
relaxing condition like you're in the
forest
their tests show that people have
reduced stress levels after
five minutes being in the room and
apparently people could continue to
focus and solve math problems
after 10 minutes this air purifier is
supposed to be able to clean a room the
size of 43 tatami mats
yes that's how it's advertised in japan
which is about 71 square meters or 765
square feet but
sharp recommends spaces half the size as
that's where the plasma cluster feature
maxes out oh and speed wise it can clean
about 13 square meters or 142 square
feet in about six minutes
if you look in the back it has several
different
filter systems one it has the front
filter system
what's cool about this one is that it
has an automatic
cleaner it rolls and it will clean and
wipe off
all of the dust that gets caught in the
initial filter so you don't have to do
it because if you've ever had
a regular filter then you'll notice that
the dust piles up and then you either
have to like wipe it off or vacuum it
off
whereas this one will clean it off for
you and it will collect it all
in the bottom tray which is super useful
this guy
right here is is a showroom model so
it's not the actual one
but in fact if you open it up there
should be two filters right here
it's usually a hepa filter so it's kind
of one of like standard grade filters
that's good for
10 years it not only cleans the air but
during dry season you can add water to
this water tank and it will humidify
the entire room so basically it's kind
of like here all in one it'll clean
air plus it'll humidify it has a sensor
here to kind of gauge
what's happening inside of the room so
if people stop moving or it turns dark
it will also adjust depending on like
the movements inside of the room which
is pretty cool
so that concludes the video let me know
