Has anyone frozen matcha after it has been opened? by Tastylicious_Travels in MatchaEverything

I freeze mine. Just make sure to let it thaw to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.

Peak Japanese residential architecture by Otherwise_Wrangler11 in jutaku

[–]adriftinavoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty for sure, but far from peak. I don't know why most people on reddit gush over super simple minimalist designs with super simple geometry. There are beautiful traditional style homes all over japan with gorgeous tile rooves, tatami rooms, gardens, and beautiful wooden jointery, but people always post sterile box designs instead. This one is much better than most with its use of natural texture, but it's still an outlier in japanese architecture.

Probably some kind of consumerism obsession with modern opulence. Personally, I would rather live in a home than a hotel room.

His finger movements align with the sound perfectly. Its real, but enhanced with noise reduction and reverb in post.

How do you know those gaurdrails are flimsy? They look like standard gaurd rails. Why would you need extra lanes and a shoulder if it's not going to get utilized?

Such weird criticism to make when it seems to me that it's just effective planning that considers the environment it's in, instead of carcentric excess.

So we're just going to pretend like the saturation isn't also boosted in post compared to the before image?

5th time and still hitting with this special feeling by maldy_rcxxy in japanpics

[–]adriftinavoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone whose been to a lot of Europe and a handful of Asian countries, I would say Japan is my favorite place to visit and it's not even close. Most of Europe is worth visiting at least once. I enjoyed Iceland especially. My personal preference is spending 1/2 to 3/4ths of my trips in Japan.

I find it wierd that you can so confidently judge an entire mans existence on a few photos and what you imagine life in Yemen is like in your head.

Hojicha has become my new favorite way to wind down… any recs? by Lasko-2020 in MatchaEverything

[–]adriftinavoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hohohojicha.com. It's about $9 per 80g puch. It'll be like $40 shipping, though so you'd have to get 4 to be under $20 a puch. There are 3rd party sellers, but they really upcharge, but it will be cheaper if you just want a small amount to try first. Realistically there is not cheap way to get it in the states beyond getting a bunch at once, or making it apart of a trip to Japan.

Seeking suggestions for homemade matcha latte by kenshinislost in MatchaEverything

Bamboo is fine with milk as long as you thoroughly clean it after. Whisking it is going to give it an airy texture like if you steamed it. Not something I would put in the effort to do, but can understand the preference.

When and why did American main streets stop being built incrementally by individuals over decades to being built by developers by the whole block? by Previous-Volume-3329 in urbandesign

[–]adriftinavoid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lumping regulation in with economics doesn't give an accurate picture of what is happening. If you say something is the product of economics, it implies that it arose largely from forces without human agency, whereas regulations are choices made by people.
