Thank you!!

Thanks for the comment. I'm sure toasted sesame would go well too.

Ich danke Ihnen! ドイツから見てくれてありがとうございます。私もドイツ料理の料理が好きで、いつかドイツへ行って本場のドイツ料理を楽しみたいと思っています。 他にも簡単な日本の家庭料理をアップしているので、見てみてくださいね。

Thank you for your comment. And thank you for the advice. We’ll try to make the subtitles a little longer from the video editing now.

Thank you for your celebration! And thank you for watching and commenting on this channel since its beginning. We will do our best to make more Japanese home cooking known to people around the world!

Thank you for your celebration! It's always a pleasure to see you.

Thank you very much! We are glad you commented as well.

Thank you again for your comments. It is getting cooler in Hokkaido, so it is now the season for warm soups. In Tokyo, according to the weather forecast, it is going to be hot to about 35 degrees for the next few days. Tokyo is still hot during September.

Thank you for your comment! We hope you enjoy our video and make a delicious meal.

Thank you for your comment. I hadn't noticed before, but it looks like comments with URLs were separated from the rest of the comments and hidden. I'm sorry I went to the trouble of introducing you to the site. This onion soup looks delicious! Just the video we are editing right now also has us making onion soup. What a coincidence!

Thank you for your comment! We hope you enjoy Japan! And also hope you can buy some miso to take back home.

Thank you for your comment! Vegetables are common to all countries and regions, but fish is really different depending on the country or region where it is caught and eaten!

You are right, it really depends on the country concerning fish and seafood. For example, Switzerland is a landlocked country (and Japan is one of the biggest island nations of the world), so its totally different. We of course can also buy some saltwater fish/seafood here, but normally I prefer to buy freshwater fish. And indulge in seafood water fish/seafood, when I am in places like Japan or Thailand.

Thank you for your comment! Frying at home can be a bit of a challenge, but I hope you'll try making it!

Is it the same with cooking sake ?

Thank you for your question. The cooking sake we use in our videos is either inexpensive sake for drinking or inexpensive sake sold for cooking. If you look for cooking sake in Japanese supermarkets, you will find two main types. One is cooking sake with added salt and umami seasoning, and the other is the kind we use, which can also be drunk. Many Japanese households may be using cooking sake with added salt. It is convenient to use for seasoning. However, many restaurants and homes that are particular about their food use cooking sake that does not contain salt. Because they want to adjust the amount of sake and the amount of salt themselves.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Thank you for your answer, thats interesting to know.

I totally agree, and I have posted a message that said so, but for some strange reason, it was not posted.

@klawrencekiewhuo3811 Thank you for your comment! We are glad our video was informative for you!

@swissfoodie3542 I wonder why your comment was not posted. We don't put any restrictions on posting comments, so it could be an error on TH-cam's part.

Thank you for your comment. I started putting the list of ingredients at the beginning of the video a while ago, and I am glad you are pleased with it.

Thank you! We will do our best to increase the number of registrations even more!

Thank you for your comment. This video style omelette is great to make with leftover ingredients in the fridge. I also make it with potatoes and other ingredients.

Thank you. The acidity of the vinegar was perfect for the fried cod.

Even questions not related to food are welcome. You are right, in Japan we add “san” after the name. This is common for both men and women. There are few divisions in Japanese such as masculine or feminine forms. As an exception, boys often add “kun” after their names and girls often add “chan” after their names. Recently, however, some people call their children by “san” from childhood, without distinction between male and female. Another more respectful way to address a person is to add “sama” after his or her name, which is often used on formal occasions. (In English, it would be the equivalent of “Mr.” or “ Ms.”) But I know that in English we call people by their first name without any honorific title after it, and I don't feel at all uncomfortable with just their first name (in fact, I am happy to be called that in a friendly way), so you can continue to call me Sho. Please call me whatever you like.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Thanks a lot for the explenation, thats very interesting to know. I didnt know that there are few divisions for masculine or feminine forms. A ryokan I contacted added "sama" after my name, its good to know what it means.

I think when I am in Japan next March, I will buy a square pan to prepare tamagoyaki in it, because in a normal round pan, it just doesnt work.

Hi, thank you for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed the video! Izakaya menus are fun to make and eat. I too like yakitori tsukune. We hope that when you come to Hokkaido you will find a good izakaya and your favorite square pan!

Thank you! The key is to make sure that when you scrape off the corn kernels, you don't scrape the hard part near the core together. If you cook the hard part with the rice, it will remain in your mouth when you eat it and you won't be able to fully enjoy it.

Hello, thank you again for your comments. I am glad you like octopus, as I hear it is not a very popular food overseas. In Japan, octopus is a very popular ingredient, so you can find boiled octopus or raw octopus for sashimi at supermarkets for about 100g. Summers in Hokkaido are short, but hot days can reach around 33℃-35℃. Unlike Tokyo and Osaka, the humidity is low, so it is comfortable, but it is hot enough in the sun. The temperatures around Sapporo are about that high, but Hokkaido is a large place, so there are towns called Kushiro and Wakkanai, and those towns are cool enough not to exceed 25°C even in summer.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Thanks a lot for your reply about the summer in Hokkaido, thats interesting to know.

Thank you for your encouraging comments. We saw the wonderful paintings at the Otsuka Museum of Art and would love to see the real paintings as well. As you know, for many Japanese, traveling abroad is not an easy thing to do. However, we too would like to travel to wonderful foreign countries someday.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho I know that taking a vacation which is longer than 1 week is almost impossible for many Japanese, and that makes travelling abroad (especially to countries far away) really difficult. I am very lucky that I can take up to 8 weeks per year, and leave for 4 weeks at a time.

Thank you for watching the video. The Shikoku region consists of four prefectures, Tokushima, which we visited, as well as Kochi, Ehime, and Kagawa, each with its own tourist attractions and delicious food that you will probably like. We hope you will visit them on your next trip to Japan after your Tohoku trip.

This sounds really delicious, too!

@swissfoodie3542 Thank you again for sharing this delicious sounding dish with us. I see that you have been to Pakistan as well. I have never heard of a drink called raita before. I guess it is similar to the yogurt-based drink called lassi, which is a sweet drink served after a meal in Japanese curry restaurants.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Raita is not the same as Lassi. Raita is like a sauce, not a drink, its often served in Indian and Pakistan cuisine with spicy food. The classic version is made with cucumber, you could also do it with tomatoes, peppers, or a mix. You can compare it to Tzatziki from Greek cuisine. The drink Lassi can be sweet or salty. Personally, I like salty Lassi (as I dont really like sweet things).

I am curious, where are you planning to visit in Japan ? Are there any particular dishes that you look forward to try ? I was first in Japan in 2017, and since then, I am really "in love" with Japan, and I cant wait to be back there for the 4th time in March 2025.

@@swissfoodie3542 We'll be visiting Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagoya. And it's hard to pick what I want to try the most, but I really want to try mazemen or tsukemen, and just different types of miso, like barley miso, that's hard for me to find where I live in the US.

@Gelles22 Thank you for your comments. We hope your trip to Japan next month will be wonderful! We hope you will be able to eat a lot of delicious food and do a lot of sightseeing in Japan. If you have any questions about your trip to Japan, please feel free to ask me here in the comments section.

@@Gelles22 If you need any help with Tokyo or food in Japan, I will be happy to help. Have a great time in Japan !

@@swissfoodie3542Thank you, both of you!

Hokkaido also has a public transportation system, but it is not as developed as in Tokyo. However, public transportation is sufficient for travel in urban areas and tourist destinations such as Sapporo and Hakodate. While trains and buses are available for travel between cities, there are many tourist destinations that can only be reached by car. Depending on the places you wish to visit, you may be able to find out the train schedule in advance (some sections have very few trains per day) and travel according to that schedule, taking a cab only when necessary. May is a good month to travel, as you mentioned. However, early May is a major holiday in Japan called Golden Week, so if you are going to travel in May, I would recommend after the 10th. Also, September or October would be good. It is recommended because the summer vacation season is over and before the snow falls, and you can enjoy the autumn foliage, etc. But please note that even in October, it is already snowing in the higher elevations and it gets very cold in the mornings and evenings. If you have any additional questions about Hokkaido or Tohoku, please feel free to comment anytime. We hope your trip to Japan will be a wonderful one.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Hi Sho, thanks a lot for your very helpful and detailled answered, that is very much appreciated. I will copy it into my "Japan ideas folder " for the next trip (after Tohoku in March 2025).

Thank you for watching from Malaysia and subscribing to our channel! We hope our video will be helpful to you. We will continue to introduce Japanese cuisine in the future, so please watch out for them.

Thank you for your comment! We're glad you liked this dish. It was delicious and we hope you'll make it.

Hi, thank you again for your comments. Thank you for sharing another delicious sounding dish with us. I had never heard of panzanella salad but will make it when we have some old bread!

Sorry we didn't notice this comment until now, too! The combination of shrimp and egg is often found in Japanese Chinese restaurants. So I am not sure if it is actually eaten in China, but it is a rather popular combination in Japan.

Thank you for your comment. Welcome to Japan! It may be difficult at first because of the different living environment and foodstuffs, but I am sure you will have an enjoyable life. We would be happy if our videos are a reference for the food you make.

This is a style of lamb barbecue called Genghis Khan, commonly found in Hokkaido.

Thank you for your comment! We will do our best to optimize the video to fit our audience. And we will continue our research to reach more viewers.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho I actually think that your videos are very well done. They are not too long, and still detailed enough. You share the recipes in a very user friendly way. You are honest and give us a great insight into what "normal" Japanese people will cook and eat at home. I wish you would have more followers, because I think that your channel deserves it. But I guess, it might take some time to achieve that.

@swissfoodie3542 Thank you for all your supportive comments. We will continue to introduce "normal" Japanese meals so that the number of subscribers will increase little by little.

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho I understand you're already putting in effort to optimize your videos. That's great! However, have you considered the potential to significantly boost your viewership and engagement through professional TH-cam SEO services?

@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Thank you for your quick response! I see that you're already working hard to improve your videos. That's fantastic! But have you thought about how professional TH-cam SEO services could really increase your viewership and engagement organically?

Thank you for your comment. Corn is in season in Hokkaido. Your dish sounds very tasty and colorful!

コメントありがとうございます。ぜひ作ってみてください。

ありがとうございます。素敵なチャンネルと思っていただけて嬉しいです！

Thank you again for your comments. When fried tofu is baked, it becomes crispy and crunchy, but be careful, as it burns quickly. Roast beef is often seen at hotel buffets in Japan too. On this day, I found a good deal at the supermarket on meat that looked good for roast beef, so I made it. The sauce you gave me sounds delicious too!

Hello, thank you for your comment. I see that you also run a cooking channel. I would like to learn from your channel as well!

Thank you! It was delicious!

Thank you again for your comments. Pork belly has a lot of fat, so I actually get an upset stomach if I eat a lot of it. Thanks for enjoying my cabbage miso soup. Since the only ingredient is cabbage, the key is to add more cabbage to bring out the vegetable broth.

I totally agree - I also like this channel, as the dishes are simple to prepare and dont need 1000 different things ;-). Also, its relaxing to watch, with good instructions, and nice ideas for side dishes (I especially like the soups). Sometimes, getting some ingreditiens (vegetables, mushrooms, a special kind of ginger, shiso leaves) is not possible in Switzerland. But I can usually find something similar.

@haley-ys5fx Thank you for your kind comments. We will continue to improve the video to make it easier to understand. I'll think of a recipe for a dish made with burnt pork belly!

@swissfoodie3542 Thank you for everything. I usually prefer to keep the ingredients simple for cooking at home. I will continue to introduce lots of side dishes and soups!

Thank you for your comment. And thank you for finding our channel. There are many good Genghis Khan restaurants in Sapporo. I am glad you had a good memory.
