living in Japan has taught me to keep
things clean as much as possible and
every week if you live in Japan you'll
see that Japanese apartments become
quite dusty very quickly and you have to
dust almost every day but because of our
busy schedules it's very difficult so I
try to clean at least once a week
although I know that's not enough
[Music]
japanese apartments are small ours is a
bit larger than most but storage space
is lacking right now
[Music]
Kate we got this I put it all on the
floor
because I wanted to see what I've had
going on here
although these apartments have honed a
negative stereotype in the past with
Murray condos help people around the
world have realized how important
minimalistic living is especially in
Tokyo all right so I attempted to
organize this as much as possible
[Music]
we have some rice here's some of the
things that I have in here
I got this organic bread on Amazon it's
literally has five ingredients it's
supposed to be eaten within 10 days but
it's rye bread and I got pumpernickel
bread and it's really good it tastes
kind of like a cake I got like three
different kinds of rice I have wild rice
I have jasmine rice from Amazon and I
got some Brian brown rice at the
supermarket so this is my rice section I
have some sweet potato sort of chocolate
snack it's not an allergenic so I can
eat this and then I have my biscuits
almond biscuits granola bars have some
vinegar and cooking stuff so apple cider
vinegars we have beans pinto beans and
black beans coconut oil lots of healthy
things which is good I have coconut
water in the back that I want to try
some of my kombucha that I ordered on
Amazon this is like complete natural
kombucha so yeah that's all I could
really fit into this okay this is the
last time I'm ordering overeats I swear
to God so I have the app in Japan I'm
gonna order this I view my cart and this
is my delivery so I'm gonna order this
my uber eats has arrived so I'm gonna
take a little break and then I'm gonna
continue cleaning today look at this
it's so funny it's not carbonated or
anything this is legit green tea or
green tea oolong tea I think it might be
green tea actually I'm not sure but it's
tea and it's in a can this is my kebab
it's just literally chicken lettuce in
like a yogurt spicy sauce and then it
came with like a tiny thing of fries and
70 so this is a big lunch but I'm
excited there's so much regret going on
in my head right now you have no literal
idea of how bad I feel about eating bad
kebab anyway I'm probably not gonna eat
dinner today cuz I'm so full let's
continue cleaning
[Music]
okay so this is the cool thing this is
our shower room / bathroom so basically
I am going to heat up this room so it's
the same thing as if you were to put it
in a dryer but it takes much longer so
we're gonna close this just a little bit
just to see if it kicks on I'm gonna
turn this on so I'm going to turn this
on and this is how many hours it can go
so we're gonna put it for like five
hours so this is the heater and then you
can hear it - like the heat kicking on
so this is gonna get warm
starting to turn on and then the whole
room is gonna get hot and then this is
gonna dry pretty fast kind of fast I
managed to kind of organize the
cupboards a little bit
not exactly but um it was a lot Messier
before sorry I didn't show up before and
after but yeah I put things in bags just
to kind of keep things together and I
have my benthos and like containers over
here we need some shelves clearly the
next thing that I'm gonna do is I'm
going to clean down the counters and I
have something called simple green I
found it online actually you can get
this into any or most Japanese
supermarkets but lately I haven't seen
it so we I bought it online and it comes
because this and then you put water in
this container and then mix it with this
and you have a lot that will last you
for a long time and I love the smell of
this just cuz everything smells super
clean with simple simple clean green
well I can't talk I feel like this does
the job more than like a Japanese brand
cleaner
[Music]
this is one of the best things ever
because it cleans a really really strong
stains off of anything including glasses
or cups or plates but also like on their
walls and everything so they look like
English lunches and it has this cute
little angry character on it it looks
like he's about to attack those tough
stains maybe just kind of clean the
toner a little bit over here
[Music]
so we have this little thingy that you
can get at the dollar store and it
cleans out your little sink hole so I'm
gonna throw in one of these babies down
the drain and I'm gonna put in this and
it's supposed to bubble up and kill all
the germs in your sink
[Music]
Duty is cooking Iman all don't know what
it is but okay you like Lincoln what is
this
that is quando CV Oh can't you put that
in there when you make like shabu shabu
yeah it's to make the broth the Congo
has remaining it what is that this is
the potato more
no told me they have oh wait I have had
that it's really good where'd you get
this delicious looking for Bo Josh oh
diet yeah oh my goodness
this looks so healthy
[Music]
okay this is the bathroom situation here
we go how is the clothes so warm in here
getting there
I've actually never had a very organized
home in Japan with job changes bad
relationships health problems moving
five times money has been tight but I
have so much hope for this place as we
plan to settle down here for a couple
years organizing despite the lack of
furniture still helps me declutter my
mind and makes me feel refreshed and
makes me appreciate the things that I
have it's like therapy be sure to throw
things away you aren't using or give
things away to people who may need it
one thing I found in Japan is that a lot
of people here don't want to waste
anything so things get cluttered fast
even though the item or product isn't
used also not gonna lie sorting garbage
in Japan is such a pain
[Music]
okay
