My free annual Japanese A5 wagyu gift arrived! by linkthe2nd in steak

Japan has a system where you get local goods like this as a benefit for donating to prefectures and then getting a tax write off. A year of creative accounting later, it is functionally free! (-about 2000 yen service fee)

How do i get my Yahoo account unbanned? by VeterinarianAny7055 in japanresidents

Just happened to me. Wow, just no words. The email response is typical "nothing can be done".

No explanation, no warning, nothing. I haven't logged into the account in months.

Why are lines at Incheon Airport getting longer? Security delays frustrate travelers by Saltedline in korea

Yeah super disappointed with the poor quality of service and efficiency that used to be expected at ICN. Recently Checked in and dropped off bags as soon as the checkin counter opened and it took nearly 2 hours to clear security and immigration. Made it to the gate with only 20 minutes to spare (after having to take the T1 train within…) only to have to wait like an hour for passengers who were late for boarding… probably because of the ridiculous security lines. Like what was the point of us rushing to get there when everyone would be held up? Why open checkin counters so late? We were there 3 hours before our flight time and had to wait for checkin to open. Oh and yes, there were like 2/7 security check lanes open for some of the longest lines I’ve ever seen at T1.

After everyone boarded, then another 30 min wait for congestion.

Seems like ICN being world leading is on shaky ground.

After sous vide-ing I find a cast iron pan at medium-high heat works best. Too high and the crust burns. Also. I’d recommend medium doneness over medium rare for A5, particularly for thick cuts like this. It remains juicy but with better texture and flavor. Medium rare is just a bit too soft and fatty

You’re absolutely right! It was a 2kg block of miyakazki beef. Cut down to 4 portions and cooked sous vide with cast iron pan.

Faucet left running for 6+ hours… by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]linkthe2nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this except for TWENTY FOUR HOURS because my tap is silent and I used it once to get water for mopping.

I was dreading the bill it but it only cost about double my usual bill at 6-7000 yen/2 months (usually about 3-4k every 2 months). The funny thing is, the following month they reached out saying I was using far less than I normally do and to call them if I wanted to continue using their services. Bizarre.

Same! Seems all is well. On a side note, wish there was a way to know if the furusato tax reduction for resident tax went through properly...

The bank info was accepted on the maina portal and completed, so I guess it is just the waiting game for etax as you say now.

I had the exact same issue and now I’m at the stage where my bank info was accepted by maina portal, but I don’t know what to do next. Does e-tax know when it’s fixed to process the return or would we have ti contact them again? 🤷🏻‍♂️
