Note: This episode was recorded outdoors. Birds, wind, and nature sounds throughout.Today, I softly reflect from a hammock in Rishikesh, India during a lunch break from yoga teacher training, surrounded by birds and trees and a sky full of interesting clouds.Also, the kind of moment that probably won't stay as a memory, but feels very good right now.This one might be better for a nap than bedtime.🇮🇳 Want more India?

Tonight, I softly reflect on a day when I just wasn't quite 100%. Not sick, just a little off.I talk about running a bath at 4 in the afternoon, Japan's oidaki feature that keeps your bathwater warm for later, and somehow ending up on the topic of Kūkai, the Buddhist monk from my hometown in Kagawa who seems to be everywhere.No particular destination tonight. Just warmth, old stories, and the feeling of a day well rested.Relax with slow, soft Japanese as you drift into sleep. Perfect for winding down, easing insomnia, and enjoying peaceful nights. 🌙✨💌 Send a message to うとうとtime https://www.sayurisaying.com/message-to-utoutotime/📝 ご感想や、話してほしいテーマがあれば、ウトウトしながらでも大丈夫なので、送ってくださいね。🩷 Support this podcast https://sayurisaying.com/support

In this cozy episode of うとうとtime, I talk about finally getting a drum washing machine — warm, fluffy laundry straight from the dryer, and spending two and a half hours working just to keep up with it.Also, a robot vacuum that announces it's "returning to base" like it completed something very important in Japanese.Slow, soft Japanese for a quiet night.Relax and drift off with gentle Japanese as you fall asleep. Perfect for winding down, easing insomnia, and quiet nights. 🌙✨💌 Send a message to うとうとtime https://www.sayurisaying.com/message-to-utoutotime/📝 ご感想や、話してほしいテーマがあれば、ウトウトしながらでも大丈夫なので、送ってくださいね。🩷 Support this podcast https://sayurisaying.com/support

Tonight, I quietly talk about stepping out into the rain when you didn't really need to, a canelé shop that's only open on weekends, and a canelé worth walking in the rain for.Somewhere along the way, I end up thinking about Anpanman — a very cool bread character, and a bakery owner from my childhood who looked a little too much like someone from a cartoon.Slow, soft Japanese for a rainy kind of evening.Relax and drift off with gentle Japanese as you fall asleep.

In this cozy episode of うとうとtime, I share a winter day trip to the countryside with a friend — a plastic greenhouse by the sea full of oysters, an old couple at the next table who gave us candy on the way out, and a hot spring that sends a car to pick you up from the station.Somewhere in there, a yoga towel, a wooden plate, and milk after a bath even though I wanted something else.Slow, soft Japanese for a quiet night.Relax and drift off with gentle Japanese as you fall asleep.

Tonight on うとうとtime, I talk softly about a gentle day — climbing a small nearby mountain, breathing in fresh forest air, listening to birds, and enjoying a peaceful view of the beach from above.I also share a quiet evening at home, cooking miso-glazed eggplant, organizing my kitchen, and finding comfort in simple, everyday moments.Relax with slow, soft Japanese as you drift into sleep 🌙✨💌 Send a message to うとうとtime https://www.sayurisaying.com/message-to-utoutotime/📝 ご感想や、話してほしいテーマがあれば、ウトウトしながらでも大丈夫なので、送ってくださいね。🩷 Support this podcast https://sayurisaying.com/support
