Why don't you buy one of those electric ones ？ they don't cost $20.
Besides coffee beans, I use it to crush nuts.
I don't think there are any places that only pull beans for service. If there were, I would probably tip 10 or 20.
Costco's are for people who buy beans at the store. I don't think it's a good idea to bring in your own beans too.

PS: If any of your friends have one, you could talk to them and ask them to lend it to you.
They would probably lend it to you at least once. You could give them some sweets in return.
(If the candy is going to be $20 or something, I'll buy a mill )

Thank you.
I just recently gave away my coffee machine when I was organizing my kitchen, and I didn't want to add another kitchen appliance.
Borrowing from a friend is one way to go ！.

I would love to learn this for my 4 year old. He can put on underwater glasses and put his face in the water. He can also float on a floatation device and flap his legs like a flapjack.

We do not have a pool at home.

Thank you for your reply ！

It will be a little while before I start personal swimming, but I plan to go to Hawaii at least once a year to prepare for that. ！

If you are interested, please email me personally ！.

Let's see, are you sure you want to make koji itself by yourself ？
If so, you have to prepare seed koji (koji mold) first. I believe it is sold on Amazon.
And you can make koji by following the instructions on the Internet, as there are many people who have this job.
There are not so many steps, so I think it is not difficult to make it.
If it is ready-made koji, I think it is easy to get it because it is sold at donkey shops.

I often use ready-made salted koji to marinate meat and fish. The meat becomes tender and
has a mild salty taste, so it tastes good.
I also make pickles with the ingredients for sango-hachi pickles sold at Marukai.
It is a local food of Fukushima, but it makes sweet pickles.

If you are not a good cook and have poor health, you should not choose to do something

difficult and time consuming, and buy koji.

Even though I like cooking, I have never made koji. Koji miso is sold everywhere. You can get koji from miso soup.

You can find various health tips on Youtube.

Start right away with what you can do.

To make the 麴, a large factory would be needed.

It requires a huge amount of money and human resources

PS Strictly speaking the process is not that hard, I have made it.
But it takes 3 days and I've bought it since then because it's a hassle to wait.

I have been enjoying making miso, salt koji, soy sauce koji, onion koji, etc. using ready-made rice koji, but this weekend I am trying to make rice koji for the first time. It takes 3 days to complete the process, and it is a bit difficult to control the temperature （. I try to check every hour except when I'm sleeping ）. If your health is not so good and you want to take advantage of the benefits of koji quickly, I recommend using Cold Mountain's rice koji, which is sold at Donki, Nijiya, and other stores. Donki also has a Japanese product （ that I think is imported from Japan ）, but my impression after using about 10 bags of this product is that the power of the koji is inferior to that of Cold Mountain. I used about 10 bags of this one, and my impression is that its koji is less powerful than Cold Mountain's. Perhaps the fungus is weakened, but the soy sauce koji and miso are not as strong as those made by Cold Mountain. Incidentally, Cold Mountain's koji was slightly cheaper at Nijiya than at Donki （ as of early October ）. I don't have a very strong stomach, but I feel better after taking a little fermented food with each meal, I hope KJ's health improves too.

A friend of mine did the same thing and returned to Hawaii over a year after leaving her belongings in Kaimuki storage and her car with someone. When he returned, he couldn't find a place to live
He was in Hawaii for a few weeks on a shared basis and ended up leaving, throwing away more than half of the clothes and other things he left in storage. I was also crying because I had more miles on my car than I needed to drive it around where I left it.
It cost us TOTAL thousands of dollars.
Bottom line is, it's easier to sell off your stuff at Vivinavi, throw away what you can't sell, sell your car at Vivinavi, and become one body for the next life.

I rented a storage unit in Kakaako, not because I was moving
but because my house was too small.
However, I was informed that the business was closing while I was back home for 2 months, so I rented another place on short notice, but it was very difficult to move my stuff after returning to Hawaii. I just want you to know that it happens. The place we are renting is air-conditioned, so pests and such are not a problem.

We had to leave our car at Honolulu Auto (car rental agency), but
it is not cheap because of parking fee + management fee.
However, we live in a house with an uncovered garage, so if the car is parked all the time, we know we are not home, and we have to worry about the battery, so it was good to leave the car with them.

Thank you for sharing your friend's story. It is true that if the return trip is prolonged, the cost may be unnecessarily high. I will think that over again before making a decision. Thank you very much.

＃ 4 min Mr.
I am glad to hear a review from someone who has actually used it.
I am relieved to hear that the pest control seems to be in place if the storage is well managed.
However, I had not thought about the possibility of closing the business, so I will have to reconsider. It must have been very hard to move the storage in a limited time, thank you very much. Thank you for the details regarding the car as well. I am also worried about theft and batteries, so I would like to leave my car in a safe place even if it is a little more expensive.
Thank you very much for your help. Thank you very much.

If you search the Exchange Plaza by entering "contact" in the search box, you will find past topics on contact, which may be helpful.

I buy mine at Sam's.

The receptionist is English, but the medical interview asks if you take any medications, but you can fill out the form online in advance.
The pre-test is in simple English, such as "chin up".

The optometrist is a Japanese American and understands simple Japanese.
No.1 and No.2 are only words like which is easier to see ？ or
Read this character ～, so I always ask for Sams.

Optometry fees are covered if you have insurance.
I am about $ 60 because of my age and I get glaucoma, cataracts, intraocular pressure, etc. seen together I order my contacts from the glasses section next door, but
they give me a prescription and I can also buy them by mail order.

If you have insurance, your contact purchase will be covered.

I have also purchased from other ophthalmologists,
the prices are very different.

If so, then the insurance coverage varies from policy to policy, but it does not mean that you have to pay the full amount of your own insurance.
Full co-pay is for people who do not have insurance, for example.
There are usually three types of insurance, （ a doctor ） who is like the first clinic you see when you decide on a family doctor,
ophthalmology, and dentistry, so if you are living here, which one is the insurance you want to buy?
And by insurance that you can get in Japan, do you mean travel insurance or something like that ？
（ Travel insurance had a duration or something, right? ）
I don't know what you want to use the insurance for, so I think it is difficult to answer your question
if you don't have a clear idea of what you intend to use the insurance for.

You say "enrolled in the US," but the insurance situation is quite different between Hawaii and the mainland US, so I don't think we can have a blanket discussion about the US.
I have HMSA's Medicare Advantage ™ (PPO ™) insurance here in Hawaii, but usually a family doctor, specialist, or even a dentist will see you first and send you a bill afterwards that takes your insurance coverage into consideration. Lab tests （ X － Ray or blood tests ） also get billed later. As far as I know, the only people who have to pay the full amount out-of-pocket at the time of the medical exam are those who do not have insurance here, as Halo mentioned.
For travelers from Japan who have travel insurance when they leave Japan, I think it is common for them to pay the full amount here at one time and receive payment for the portion covered by their insurance after they return home. However, there are some travel abroad insurance policies that sell "cashless ・ medical services," so in the case of such policies, you will not have to pay the co-payment.

＞ Halo and SJDummy

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I understand now. I am relieved to know that my employer will provide HMSA insurance and I will be charged the amount after the insurance coverage.
I was suddenly concerned when I heard someone say that even if you have HMSA or other insurance provided by the company, you have to pay the full amount once you get it. If that is not the case, I am relieved. Thank you for your response.

It depends on whether it is short term or long term, as well as negotiations with the real estate company, but I think 10% ～ 20% of the monthly rent is typical if you ask for property management. Ours is 10% for a lease of six months or more, but I think 20% is more common for vaqueroan management. In Hawaii, if you live out of state （ including returning to Japan ）, you need to manage your property with a management company in Hawaii, but if you manage it yourself, you do not need to pay monthly property management fees. If you manage your own property, you do not need to pay monthly property management fees. When you add tenants, you will need to pay a one-time tenant introduction fee, but in many cases, you do not need to go through a real estate agency if you manage your own property. If you manage the property yourself, you will be responsible for any eviction, so there is a higher risk involved. Also, if you rent the property, the tax rate will change, GET will be charged, and HOA will also affect your profit margin.

I think the Braun Oral-B is the only choice.
The last few versions are compatible with foreign voltages and have many attachments.
I plan to replace mine next year, but it is a great series.
