Homemade Japanese Dumplings (Dango)
Thank you so much for watching! It's been 10 years since I made this channel. I wanted to cook in my own kitchen in the future and finally it's happening! It's all thanks to you guys!
This time I'm making traditional Japanese dumplings called sanshoku-dango & mitarashi-dango. They're pretty easy to make and tasty. If you get a chance, please give it a try!

I love you :3333
i remember the first day you made this channel! so weird it still feels brand new??? congratulations! がんばって!!
Thank you for your amazing content and sweet persona. The energy, pacing and shots are just so peaceful and fun to watch. So happy for you guys with your new house. It must be amazing for the cats too
Congrats and look forward to what's in store! These take a lot of steps, but they do look enjoyable! (; (=
Jun: **no longer has to crouch because his kitchen is finally taller** Haku: **wanting to ride on Jun's shoulders* Not on my watch
Haku just reminding Jun who is really the boss in the kitchen.
I think it the name of channel should be Haku Kitchen XD
me; writing a very similar comment just as i start watching the video, then scroll down and find yours XD
I was thinking the same thing!
know your place puny human
Jun attempting to cook with a cat on his back makes me smile.
me too, its so cute
Haku = Yoda
He wanted a kitchen where he wouldn't have to bend over to cook and this happens xD
Reminds me of Pettson and Findus
Mmm Honestly just, the amount of love for the cat, and the fact that the cat trusts him enough to do this *Or even considering that he coulda trained his cat to do that*
“As soft as cat beans” I completely understand the instructions thank you
Adorable!
This intro clip looks like a fairytale 🌸💗
Omgg I remember watching you when I was 7 😭💞
Welcome to Japan.
🌸🪷🌺🍡🐱
And that’s why I’m going to move to japan😂
so ture
Jun before: Crouches because regular japanese kitchens are too small for him Jun now: Finally has a custom kitchen especially made for his own height, still crouches cuz Haku wants to sit on his back
@John Doe We wish you weren't here.
Haha yeah !
Sooooo trueeeeee hahahaha
Priorities. First and foremost, lol.
@@youbetterwakeup2449 damn what did bro do? He deleted his comment
Nagi was so close to convincing Jun and us that he's a human by sitting like a gentleman next to the counter, but then his cover blew off the moment Jun waved the Yomogi branch around, exposing the fact that Nagi is indeed a cat.
nagi exposed 😱
2:54 I wonder how they raised their cats to be so loving. Haku walks alongside Jun when walking, then he just lays on his back all comfortable :)
Training, lots of training. Cats can be trained, but you can’t train them like dogs and the motivation is a little harder to nail down.
I still don't appreciate the declawing and they had Haku since he was 3 months old. I first thought he was adopted and someone else did it.
@@MacCheekz1990 Haku isn't declawed though? He climbs stuff and uses cat scratchers just like any other healthy cat.
I think he literally sees his cats different than most pet owners do. Giving them a LIFETIME of constant interaction and experiences. They’re sooo safe and nurtured. It affects the way these precious beings interact. I wish ALL humans treated animals with such respect!
@@MacCheekz1990 None of their cats are declawed though??? You can literally see Haku's claws at 5:17...
Seeing Jun "review" cat beans was exactly what I needed in my life today. Adorable lol
It's amazing to have you back! I'm looking forward to delicious new recipes from your new kitchen!
Thank you!
If you miss him, visit their vlog channels ;)
Agreed! I've been curious what this dango was. Its been referenced in the latest game Genshin Impact as well!. Thank you for sharing! I don't think we have yamogi (?) In USA but maybe I can substitute it with mint or our loose leaf green tea version? And maybe rose to replace the sakura/cherry blossom.
@@usagi8 if you would live anywhere near a larger city that you might have some specialty shops where they do cell.
It’s a time traveler! :)
Jun: Builds a customized house with a customized kitchen so he does not have to crouch while cooking. Haku: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career...
I want the life this guy has. I mean, he's got cats, a nice kitchen, and knows how to cook delicious treats. What could go wrong?
AND hes happily married. talk about a blessed life
Jun always takes his time to upload videos, but when he does it, they are magickal, exquisite, divine, peaceful, gorgeous, and full of kitties.
The bond Jun has with Haku is so heartwarming compared to the other cats. They're basically father and son.
Seriously! 😭🤩
Back rides too… haku looks so cute
Congratulations on your GORGEOUS KITCHEN Chef JUN~ or should I say…Congratulations on your new kitchen Cat Clan, and for allowing the hoomans to grace your presence 🐈
I really love the moment when the fluffy ginger cat climbs on Jun's back. Hi's, the cat (and Jun's, btw, too), equanimity ... Its simply beautiful
That orange cat’s name is Haku, he’s the big boy. Also very friendly it seems.
@@itsmxtwist oh, yes! exactly. Haku is really cute big boy xdxd ^v^
Haku chilling on Jun's shoulder even though there are so many other places for him to hang out on gives me life. It's awesome that you finally get to cook in your own kitchen and it looks fantastic. I am so excited to see all the videos you get to make in this place.
Jun indulging it for the length of time he did is even more wholesome.
Happy to Haku still enjoying the intro walks and being fluffy as always, even after all this time; thank you for sharing these peaceful vids with us still!
wait i thought that was nagi.
@@nicoprayoga6660 the one on walks is Haku. He's the big boy 😉
@@nicoprayoga6660 nagi has lighter orange than haku
@@hhhhh-gx1dc i got distracted by his fluffy tail XD
I dont think you guys will ever lose your following no matter how long you take a break. The overall quality and thought that goes into your content is just amazing! I will always love your channels and I'm so happy to see you two developing your new life in your new home!
I love how regal Nagi looks when walking on the wheel, like he's the most important and determined cat ever. 😂😍
Jun's back!!!! I've always wondered what this snack was called. Had no idea it was so simple!!
Everybody be like: "JUN'S BACK!" Haku: "JUN'S BACK!!!"
@@Mirro18 oh man that took me a few seconds to understand. a good one indeed
he doesn't upload much but when he does the quality is top tier and his cats always make my day
That's an understatement. Jesus I feel like it's been 6 months since his last video.
Ahh I agree! Any JunsKitchen upload makes me smile ;-;
I love how you made the house cat friendly. One day I would love to own such a house.
*Jun just casually bending down to get mixing bowls* Haku: I see, this hooman wants me on his back again. Wish granted hooman. I love how Jun just continued to work with Haku on his shoulders for a while. By the way, congratulations Jun!
Jun: puts a lot of energy into making sure he doesn’t have to bend over so much in his dream kitchen Also Jun: spends a portion of the video bending over anyways because his cat wanted to sit on him
I had to test the cat bean softness when it was mentioned, luckily I have a ready supply next to me on the couch as I watch this video. Happy to have JunsKitchen on the screen again!
must perform quality check at least once a day
Omg! I didn't realize we would get to see the kitchen by the thumbnail. The house is even better than I imagined! Even though people might say the cats fit into the aesthetic, we all know the aesthetics were made specifically FOR the cats!
Glad to see Nagi is a healthy cat who enjoys the big wheel for cats
It’s so great to see Jun using the BBQ they built! I was wondering when we’d see Jun cooking with the outdoor BBQ. It’s also adorable that you made the BLUE 🍡 ones for your wife because it’s her favorite color!! So sweet. I hope she’s doing well, and would love to see her in more videos again. Her laughter and smiles are always a treat to watch. And so funny to see the cats using the exercise wheel! Thank you for posting, Jun!
You can head over to their vlog channel Rachel&Jun's Adventures, there's plenty of Rachel there😉
The bond you and haku share is actually amazing. Like that cat LOVES you, I’m glad you and Rachel treat all your cats well, they seem to have a fantastic life with you
There's some interesting similarities between hanami dango and Vietnamese "banh bo hap". Both are pink, green, and white sweets made with rice flour. But banh bo is steamed with yeast to make it spongy, and is optionally served with coconut milk and peanut pieces. It's my favorite dessert to get with Vietnamese sandwiches!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I was born in Japan and my parents and I left when I was 6. My most vivid memory is when my dad used to come home from work and bring me hot mitarashi dango that he picked up on his way. I have not been able to find in Toronto it since I moved here, and was not able to find a good recipe. This recipe brought back my childhood memories! THANK YOU!
I remember when my daughter was a toddler she wanted to try dango after seeing it on an anime. I tried to read up on how to make it but felt a bit overwhelmed and didn't know where to get most of the ingredients. But now that there are more stores near us that sell all of the ingredients I might have to give it a try. Your video makes it seems way less over complicated and it's so peaceful to watch. It keeps my anxiety at ease. Thank you for your beautiful videos! I love those cats too! So cute!!!
They also sell them frozen in Chinese food stores. I think it's the same thing, though after simmering Chinese serve it in a sweet broth rather than grilling.
@@recoil53 it's not the same actually, the ones you get at the chinese store are called tangyuan,. while they use the same rice flour dough, tangyuan are a thin skin of dough surrounding a (typically oozy) filling. completely unskewer-able, unless you want to get super hot filling all over your hands.
Seeing Haku ride around on Jun's shoulders the exact same way the cat my family had when I was growing up makes me extremely happy.
Shoulder cats are the best cats.
Such a lovely kitchen. Big windows, light walls, and natural lighting filling the house. It relaxes me so...
i always wondered what this 🍡 emoji was of!
Me: Tell me you're an anime protagonist without telling me you're an anime protagonist. Jun: Wandering through the fields with Haku riding on his shoulder, catching Sakura petals drifting in the summer breeze...
That’s actually pretty impressive considering Haku’s size
Cats’ shelving are awesome. Jun carrying 1 cat on his back while cooking .... is so relatable and this proves the point to which he is a cat-person. And, the petals -such a delicate image.
I don't know about the others, but I would SO buy a cookbook of Jun's recipes. His food looks amazing and the way his does it makes it feel like, as long as you have the space necessary, anyone can make these recipes, even with little technical knowhow or cooking background.
この動画に全ての幸せが詰まってる
Jun's videos always have this nice comforting vibe, its like watching a ghibli movie during rain with a hot cup of tea 💕💕
I thought that in the intro!
TEN years?! You're kidding, it doesn't feel that long at all! Congrats on finally getting your kitchen- it's beautiful! So glad the boys are all doing good. Maybe one day Pichi will make a surprise debut too-
Haku is enjoying riding on his daddy’s back while he’s cooking and it’s really cute ❤️❤️❤️🐈😎
Please everyone remember that he most probably used glutinous rice flour! A friend and I tried to do the sanshoku dango but the texture was very off since our stores only sold regular rice flour Otherwise, I wish everyone who reads this good luck recreating them and thanks for the lovely video!
You and Rachel have done so well over the years. Congrats on the new house and the kitchen is beautiful and so open. I hope we get to see a full house tour at some point. And every time I see or hear Dango, I think of Clannad and that song.
let the heart-shattering commence
@@marcusskovran6491 why what happened??
@@danhayabusa They were referring to the anime. It's very sad, but also very good.
The beginning segment with the walk was soo peaceful. It'd be nice if we had a walking series with jun and his cat going around beautiful areas like that with calm music.
Jun I just have to say, your cooking videos bring me so much peace and happiness. It helps me escape from my mundane everyday life. How lucky are we as humans to see another's life on the other side of the world. Truly blessed!
Beautiful kitchen, food, and cats. Thank you Jun for making my day instantly better, I missed your videos a lot and I'm so glad you finally have your house!
I love the comparison of cat beans to dango paste that will actually make it a lot easier to remake them myself! Glad to see you back and to see the finished kitchen it’s been awesome to watch it all come together
日当たりが良い家ですね。ハクもポキも料理も美しく映ってこれからの映像も楽しみです。☺️
Love your vids! You should collab with Jun sometime :)
ご視聴、コメント、ありがとうございます!ウチも、夏の間だけでも猫たちの毛を少しカットしようかなと思いました。笑)こちらこそ、素敵な動画を楽しみにしています😊
hi claire!
love to see 2 of my favourite creators making their dreams, love u both!
Hi Claire!
It's great to see you accomplish your dreams!! I've been following you since before I was in middle school and you've always been a great inspiration for me! Thank you for taking us with you in this journey ♥️
Omg the new kitchen is perfect!! Lots of space and bright, plus has many spots for the kitties to relax and watch Jun cooking ♥︎
i had such a bad day i literally teared up at the sight of haku on jun’s back 😭😭 these videos are my therapy
they make me emotional too, i watch them to go to sleep!
The bond you share with your cats is incredible, i want to have that too someday
Haku is so sweet when he goes on his back 🥰🥰
This video is so healing
So happy to see you back and with your new kitchen!! I love seeing all the little thoughtful designs that you included to keep your cats happy and healthy💜
This video is sooo beautiful and calming…but I lost it at 3:00 😂🐈
Me to.. It have always amazed me just how clear Juns love for his cats are.. Like he always let them inspect what he is making before using them. All those little actions just shows his love for those lovely and sweet Fuzzbutts.
RETURN OF THE KING
Yes indeed crumb
The kitchen is so beautiful! I’m so happy for you both the house is coming together 🥰
This has literally been my favorite KZhead channel for years. Thank you so much for the amazing content
the opening segment you do where you gather ingredients is always so idyllic and peaceful. it really sets the mood for the whole video. so glad you get to cook in your dream kitchen after ten years! gosh, it really doesn't seem like that long. here's to many happy years making delicious food for the people you love.
I showed my mum the beginning of the video when your cat went on your shoulders, and she immediately recognised you and told me to play it on the TV. So I was sat with my family watching your videos. I actually really needed your video today, it boosted my energy a lot for what comes tomorrow, thank you! (We are still watching your videos as of writing this)
Your whole channel is an inspiration for me Jun! Someday I want to travel to Japan and experience the cherry blossom season. I love watching your videos and how peaceful they are, it feels very calm and refreshing. The kind nature you bring everywhere you go is something I will incorporate in my own life. Arigato gozaimasu!
These videos are so calming and full of happy and chill vibes, I love you and your cats! Keep up the amazing work that you've been making for the last 10 years!
The dedication and love this man has for his cats is amazing to see especially with Haku catching a ride halfway through the prep
Jun is a Gundam for haku
yea
Glad to see that Nagi is loving the catwheel!
8:00 the setting fire technique, wow
Yay ! I've been a fan for years, and this is the stuff I love - picturesque Japan, pretty kitties, and Jun walking me through a recipe. Can't wait for more !
This video has everything that is wholesome and more. Haku riding on your back, Nagi being a good, healty boi, Poki taming his urges and being allowed into kitchen on regular basis, Japan just being the most gorgeous place on earth, and that is all without me starting on the food. Also, I'm so envious of your kitchen, it looks incredible
新しい家に、変わらない猫の可愛さと素晴らしい料理に動画…最高です
ひとえに皆様のお陰です。ご視聴ありがとうございます!^^
This is such a happy video it fills my heart with joy. I'm so glad you guys got to build a beautiful house with a gorgeous kitchen and I can't wait to see the kind of videos and memories you make out of it.
It is good to see Jun's Kitchen back in action and more Jun than ever before, haha~ Glad I could help you guys, even a little bit! Thanks for the great merch too.
I’ve never clicked someone’s video this fast. Congrats on your JUNSKITCHEN (real one)! As a long-time follower, I’m really happy for you!
Thank you so much!!!
Hey Jun, i’m also long-time follower, I love your videos so much. Can i get “ thank you so much” also? I rarely comment on youtube but notice me, senpai! No homo
Hello everyone, I wanted to write here how grateful I am for today. Here in Brazil it's exactly 8:00 am and when I checked my phone I realized I had Jun's notification! My birthday has improved by 100%! I'm completely happy and grateful for your video Jun! Thank you so much, your videos are amazing! Hugs :D
Happy birthday! Have a great day!
@@JunsKitchen It's been great, thanks for replying :D
I love how your kitchen and new home have come together, and that the cats are still such a central feature! I'm so happy for you both!
Congratulations on the new kitchen! It looks amazing! You've really come a long way!
It's so amazing to have seen the gradual progression of your house on the other channel and to finally have you doing a JunsKitchen episode in your new custom kitchen in a house that the two of you actually own. I'm so happy for you both! This dumpling recipe looks amazing too!
Thank you so much! ^^
Look at Nagi! That cat wheel was worth every penny! 😍
I love watching your videos they’re so relaxing. I love how calm your cats are and how much you trust them in the kitchen❤️
It makes me so happy to see Poki so well trained and is now able to be in the kitchen without full supervision! I missed all three boys and seeing them so fluffy and sweet makes my poor heart melt ❤
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You easily have the best content on KZhead! No other KZheadr uploading makes me as excited. Your videos give me such a ”cozy” feeling, as to say, that I’ve never experienced on anyone else’s channel, and the quality of your content is unmatched. I can’t wait for the next video!
Can you imagine an animated version of Jun’s videos in the style of Miyazaki? I can picture it in my head and if it truly happened I think I would cry. The cuteness and coziness would just be overwhelming
Your new kitchen is so beautiful!!! I look forward to all the delicious meals you make here!
Im so happy for you and Rachel!!! This is amazing!!!
love your content, your so calm and at the same time is super relaxing to watch your vids
*Jun:* 😎Finally has a tall enough kitchen and doesn’t have to crouch down😎 *Haku:* 😤I won’t allow this foolery 😤
2:53 Haku is just helping Jun practice his old man walk for when he gets older.
ahhh i love these types of videos, it is so relaxing and warming. thanks for sharing as always
This was such a great video! I have been trying to work on a good Sanshoku-dango recipe for a bit and this did the trick. I love the personality in the video as well. Thanks for sharing!
The new kitchen looks much more open and inviting! Such a great fit for your style of content!
Ah, finally more chill vibes and Jun hanging with Haku! Glad to have you back
I'm so glad you're back. I was very happy to see the video. Your videos are awesome
So happy that you finally have your own kitchen. Thank you for sharing your life with us!!
I get great amusement and memories when your cats want to smell everything you are cooking. I had 2 cats that way years back. They had to sniff and approve of what I was cooking or eating. It was very entertaining. You bring back good memories of them. Thank You
I legit gasped when seeing this pop up in my subscription box, and seeing Haku walk through the sakura in the intro made my heart swell. Welcome back Jun - your new kitchen looks awesome!!
Your videos are always so peaceful, thank you
I love this channel so much and Im so happy you finally finished your dream kitchen!!!
Almost 11 minutes of Jun's peaceful vibes. We've missed you, welcome back!
Jun : I am going to build a new kitchen so I don't have to stand in strange ways and hunch over Haku : I have another plan!! Wonderful!
Congratulations on your new kitchen!! So happy for you
I’ve been waiting for so long just to watch your video. It is always so tranquil that i can watch it throughout the day. Hope you’ll release more videos like this. Love u🥰
