I hope you know that your presentation is priceless and demonstrates your amazing prowess of teaching and being considerate of other cultures yet explain so clearly the aspects of the uniqueness and complexity of Japanese culture. For a man of your age you possess tremendous potential as an educator and your writing skill is balanced and thoughtful to your audience. This short program is a perfect example of what all American children and adults could benefit tremendously from. Thank you so very much for your tireless effort. I pray your rewards will be commensurate with your work.
Enjoyed learning about the history of Japanese cuisine. I noticed that my grandmother originally from Japan but an American citizen, would arrange the food on the plate artistically which made it more appealing to eat. Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to write and say how much this video is helping my in my culinary career, I was born and raised in the U.S, but ever since I started cooking I just have loved the presentations of Japanese foods and this video helped me understand why that is as long as what they mean when they're presented. Thank you for the video and the other videos you continue to put out.
Love your videos! I am Japanese, born in the US. I thought I was somewhat knowledgeable in Japanese cuisine, but ALWAYS learn new things in your videos. Thank you!
This is the type of content on Japanese food (and most food, honestly) that should be around more. More books, more videos. I love the graphic at 12:30 too, that is a perfect representation. Great job 😁
This is quiet possibly my favourite video on TH-cam. The efficiency of the way you present the information is priceless. I lived in Japan for three years and one thing that effected me the most was the Japanese food culture. I want to learn everything about Japanese food and I really try to re-create that spirit here in my country. Not just by making Japanese meals, but by adapting the whole philosophy of Japanese food culture into ingredients from my country. Your video is priceless to me, thanks a lot! Please keep making videos about the Japanese food culture and philosophies. For example, I'm very interested in the 24 seasons and how ppl cook foods according to season. I hope you can share more details on that. hontoni arigato gozaimasu!!!
Thank you for the video, it was very informative and easy to understand. I especially appreciate the way you explained traditional vs semi-modern vs modern, as it was very helpfull! I also appreciate the reasoning behind the health aspects of the food, it really put in perspective how this cuisine differs from my own native cuisine. Even though traditional danish cuisine has a lot of similarities to traditional japanese (lots of fish and seafood, rye, oat and barley over wheat, lots of fermented foods), I feel like we've lost this way of eating in our modern times. I definitely will be implementing more of our own traditional dishes as well as implementing a lot of these japanese dishes and ways of serving food, in my own household, since I find it just makes a lot of sence. I will also be making a lot more japanese foods, since we do enjoy this cuisine at home as well. Thank you so much for making these kinds of videos, and helping us all to cook better! Bless you! From Denmark
wow, such a compliment! i am exactly not making my video to impose japanese food/way, but to remember the importance of each own tradition/lineage. so you just nailed it!!
Taiji, thank you so much for creating fantastic videos such as this one, with its rich historical and 和食/cuisine details. As a Japanese language and culture instructor, I have been incorporating your wonderful videos in my lessons, to further enhance my students' understanding and appreciation of Japan. Keep up the great insight! ありがとうございます。本当に感謝しています。
Fantastic presentation, thank you for the lesson. Fascinating. I never heard considered the melting temps of different proteins and how that may affect our bodies. I love Japanese cuisine but always found it daunting to attempt cooking any myself. Just discovered your channel last night and am inspired to try your recipes. Starting with the cucumber recipes today! Eggplant recipes will be next. Thank you for taking the time and the doing the work to share. A humble request if it’s something you make would be a video with agedashi tofu. Take care!
Thanks for the Japanese history lesson and how food related to it. I like how you mix cooking videos with videos like this one. Please continue to create great content like this video it’s very interesting.
Hi I am just back from a wonderful trip to Japan and started looking for simple, healthy recipes to cook..... your channel is perfect. Thank you for all your effort and sharing your culture and cuisine.
Wow ...really really good and awsome content !! So well researched and very informative..love the part by part explanation ...love the food history of Japan..i'm showing this to the kids to teach them about Japanese culture and food..wish this kind of content is available for other cultures as well..it will really help the kids..Thanks a lot 😃😃😃😃
Like your japanese culture and cooking. it is a great video. And I watch all your cooking, all healthy food. And thank for share. Waiting more your cooking recipes even simple but healthy , thats why I like japanese food. Also the portion is just small and delicious.
The first video i saw was ur 2 weeks down time. Im so hooked. I love the food housing & all around culture. I have a few more videos to go but was wondering if u might b showing us the new gadgets that r being put out and why can't we but them here now? Ty & keep going.
Thank you for this history of your country's culture. This is very much appreciated as I am learning how to cook Japanese food. Your explanations are priceless and provide great clarity for the Western mind. I love the segment on the teaching aspect for children. Cheers from British Columbia.
Thank you so much for this video. Really, very exciting and useful information. I so much agree with the philosophy of respecting the season and the nutritional balance. I am surprised that you learn about nourishment at school. I think every country should incorporate some kind of this in the education system. More videos like this, please! For example, I would love to learn more about Japanese tea culture. The occasion, the types of tea, the snacks. Also, I am very curious how the present global culture, the upcoming fast food consuming effects Japanese cooking. Keep on with these videos, I love every of them. Your Mille-feuille Hotpot recipe now is one of the favorite dishes and is so much on my top 10 list that started to make variations.
thanx!! will do! a video on tea is coming up soon, fast food consumption, will consider it, thanx! glad you liked the Mille-feuille Hotpot!! its also one of my favorite winter dish!!
Very informative channel. I've been following you for the past 4 days ive learned a lot about Japan amazing you're superb thanks for sharing abt your culture. More power.
Wow… I have just discovered your channel, and I loved it.. Will be following each episode.. You are very efficient and well informed, and fast and disciplined.. Thank you so much… I love oriental food…
I’ve been taught a lot of things about Japan and it’s culture, since moving here 8 years ago. But, I really enjoy watching your videos and re-learning because your English is fabulous. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Ta 🙇♀️
Taiji - thank you Chef for being so sweet and educational when you present your material - i feel your joy & passion for your culture. I hope someday we become so blended and we take on more and more of Japanese philosophy of life and respect - the kind of respect that the west lacks but for the most part we are all brothers & sisters . much love & blessings for 2024 x
A great video thank you. I love the way Japan teaches in the schools about food, cooking, and sewing which has been pretty much dropped from schools in America. I need to eat more sardines they are in my pantry!
Taiji, you videos are very informative. Thanks for sharing your culture. I love Japanese food but I even love it more after this information that you shared👍 Keep up the good work and hope to see more about Japanese travel info. Thanks 🙏
Very interesting and impressively dense in content. Thank you for the clear and approachable manner, and for using appealing posters and visuals to reinforce the information. I also loved your video where you showed us features of Japanese homes. It is all so unfamiliar, and I appreciate the pragmatic and graceful aspects of Japanese culture. I really like hearing about Japan on your channel.
Hi! I'm a dietetic student from the UK and one of our coursework projects is to learn all about the Japanese culture and the cuisine. Just wanted to say how helpful this video was. Contained so much useful and really interesting information. Thank you for taking the time to create it!
this morning i learned from yours ancestors how to take care the varieties of foods on Japanese foods it's all remained the organic healthy life style thanks for sharing today i know how important the originality of taste from your Home to mine thanks crossing on multi media from Philippines
Thank you for this video. I fell in love with modern Japanese foods like ramen, okonomiyaki and nabe when we lived in Hawai'i. Over the last 8 months I've started eating traditional Japanese breakfast (even natto!) nearly everyday. I love how Japanese cuisine leaves me sated but never full or bloated. Americans have a very capitalistic view of food, and I've been adopting Japanese practices of Washoku like the 5 colors and 5 cooking methods at each meal when possible. What got me started down this path is the prevalence of fermented foods in Japanese cuisine; as you mention in your video, it is essential for healthy gut, but there is also a gut-brain relationship that helps improve functions like sleep and may have a direct impact on neuropathologies. I'm a recent subscriber to your channel, and enjoy your insights into your culture.
thank you so much for this video, it was reakky helpful, i love cooking japanese but i have a billion things to learn so i really love your channel. I apreciate the work you put in and also the amount of research and information. Thank you c: keep up the good work :)
first of all thank you for the wonderful clips of yours, from which i'm really learning a lot about the japanese culture as well as its cooking. thank you. as a minor note, tempura comes from "tempora" which was a christian fasting time at the beginning of each season. please keep the good work !
I just started watching your videos and I am LOVING the in depth videos about these specific parts of Japanese culture! I would love to learn more about 家庭科 and what those classes include or are like! I'm from America (Texas) and we don't have anything like that. Closest would be Home Economics but those were taken out of most schools in the 90s, and now at most you're offered an optional cooking class. I'm currently studying japanese and will be studying in osaka in 2023 (and hopeuflly 2024)!
Hi Taiji. Thanks once again for the deeper background and explanation. I have been watching for years the show, “Dining with the Chef” on NHK, especially with the hostess Yu Hayami and Chef Saito. My choice there is that, like you, they work hard to communicate a deeper appreciation for Washoku and with a focus on good cooking techniques. Please keep up the excellent work and for sharing your rich heritage.
I was born in Japan from both Filipino parents, where my father had served in the US Navy and he was stationed in Japan at that time. One of the things to do thst is in my "bucket list" is to visit my place of birth. (Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan). I heared all good things from most people that I spoke with who had visited Japan, and I am excited to experience the culture and see the country as well. Sushi is by far my favorite food. If anyone asks me where do I want to eat, everyone in my circle of family and friends kmow that my answer would be Japanese food. There is no food here in the US that I can remotely compare to Japanese food (that is of course my personal opinion). Listening to this vlog made me want to go to Japan more and hopefully soon.. Thank you for posting such an informative video.. i absilutely enjoyed it!!
So informative. In the States we have Home Economics, at least my generation did (I am 47 so I am not sure if they still do). These are basic cooking, sewing, mechanical drawing, wood working, art etc classes. I think I would absolutely love eating traditional Japanese food regularly as I prefer a more clean way of eating (most of the time). Such good information. I hope one day I am blessed with the opportunity to visit Japan.
I like how you incorporated the various aspects of health, history, culture, cuisine... priceless! Thank you for producing educational & inspiring content.
I love these types of videos Taiji! Your cooking videos are always great as well, but these are different and always interesting to watch and learn more about Japan and Japanese culture. Thank you. :)
This is well put together and so interesting to be able to discuss these origins. I’ve had questions about how if the Japanese really uphold the virtue of life in all… how the have so much meat in the restaurants… and with their/your ability to live by the seasons… that the flour products came to be. Noodle making art is fantastic… but so much work for a refined food product in the end. Gratitude and respect to you.
Just found your channel today and I love your videos. Only thing is could you pronounce the words slower so I had hear the pronunciation??? That would be awesome. Keep up the good work
I fell in love with Japan since I was a junior highschooler. But back then information were hard to find as I lived in remote area of Thailand. Growing up I have traveled to Japan a few times and love the country and the culture even more. You storytellings are extremely informative and enjoyable especially for me who always want to learn more about Japan. Thanks so much Taiji!
I am enchanted by your exuberance , knowledge & delivery of your culture . Thank you from a French woman living in Australia . Well done with appreciation . Anne-Marie in Sydney 😊
I found all of this fascinating! I never knew Curry was considered a Western food, but it makes total sense XD Thank you very much for sharing and all your wonderful videos. I have learned so much from them, and can't wait to see what's next :)
Wow… this video is fantastic. This 20 Minutes was so intelligent filled with informations that I learned a lot of culture, food and the historical background for the food involving. You have done a great job with this video for me. 🤩

日本人ですが、ここまで論理的で分かりやすい紹介は初めて見ました🎉
仕事上、外国人に文化を紹介する事もあるので助かります😊
👏👏👏👏very informative and educational..thank you for explaining the Japanese culture and food category….very interesting 👍👍
Thank you for this video. I fell in love with modern Japanese foods like ramen, okonomiyaki and nabe when we lived in Hawai'i.

thanx so much for your compliment!! glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much!
Very interesting video. The health aspects of Japanese food brought me to your channel, so having this information was quite helpful.
glad you like it!!
...This is a beautiful presentation! And I thought I couldn't appreciate Japanese food and culture more!
first of all thank you for the wonderful clips of yours, from which i'm really learning a lot about the japanese culture as well as its cooking. thank you.
as a minor note, tempura comes from "tempora" which was a christian fasting time at the beginning of each season.
please keep the good work !
enjoyable and educational as always! i learn so much from this, taiji!
thanx so much!!
I just started watching your videos and I am LOVING the in depth videos about these specific parts of Japanese culture! I would love to learn more about 家庭科 and what those classes include or are like! I'm from America (Texas) and we don't have anything like that. Closest would be Home Economics but those were taken out of most schools in the 90s, and now at most you're offered an optional cooking class. I'm currently studying japanese and will be studying in osaka in 2023 (and hopeuflly 2024)!
Hi Taiji.
Thanks once again for the deeper background and explanation. I have been watching for years the show, “Dining with the Chef” on NHK, especially with the hostess Yu Hayami and Chef Saito.
My choice there is that, like you, they work hard to communicate a deeper appreciation for Washoku and with a focus on good cooking techniques.
Please keep up the excellent work and for sharing your rich heritage.
thanx for your comment!!
I need to check that show too!
Thank you for this informative video. One of the things i really enjoy about Japanese food is the focus on the natural flavor of the ingredients.
I was born in Japan from both Filipino parents, where my father had served in the US Navy and he was stationed in Japan at that time. One of the things to do thst is in my "bucket list" is to visit my place of birth. (Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan). I heared all good things from most people that I spoke with who had visited Japan, and I am excited to experience the culture and see the country as well. Sushi is by far my favorite food.

Thank you for posting such an informative video.. i absilutely enjoyed it!!
Excellent presentation Taiji. Looking forward to the next one ❤
This was a really great and easy to understand presentation. I was able to learn alot in a short amount of time. Thank you
So informative. In the States we have Home Economics, at least my generation did (I am 47 so I am not sure if they still do). These are basic cooking, sewing, mechanical drawing, wood working, art etc classes. I think I would absolutely love eating traditional Japanese food regularly as I prefer a more clean way of eating (most of the time). Such good information. I hope one day I am blessed with the opportunity to visit Japan.
I like how you incorporated the various aspects of health, history, culture, cuisine... priceless!
Thank you for producing educational & inspiring content.
Standing ovation 👏
Very informative and interesting video. I got a lot more out of it than I thought I would. Thanks for making these videos. 😊
Damn… I was thinking about learning more about washoku earlier today. Good timing.
wow, perfect timing!
Just got back from visiting Japan and I miss it so much already. Thank you for the content!!
Really enjoyed this video, very insightful.
OMG ! It was a wonderful presentation on Japanese culture, food and history. A-MA-ZING! Arigato.
I love these types of videos Taiji! Your cooking videos are always great as well, but these are different and always interesting to watch and learn more about Japan and Japanese culture. Thank you. :)
glad you like these videos too!!
i will keep making these then! let me know if you have any requests on what topics I should talk about!
Excellent advice, your teaching style is exceptional. Thank you 🙏
This is well put together and so interesting to be able to discuss these origins. I’ve had questions about how if the Japanese really uphold the virtue of life in all… how the have so much meat in the restaurants… and with their/your ability to live by the seasons… that the flour products came to be. Noodle making art is fantastic… but so much work for a refined food product in the end. Gratitude and respect to you.
Thanks for this very informative video. Really enjoyed the visual summary
~ Great video, Taiji! Love learning from you, about our
Japanese culture/history. Thank you! ⛩
