I am a retired chef. I am classically trained in traditional French cooking, which I learned from culinary school followed by an apprenticeship. And I have to say, your Mother's mastery of cooking techniques, and attention even to very fine details would put her on par with a professional chef's cooking skills. I was expecting her to be good, but even with my high expectations I was impressed.
I think that watching Japanese people cooking is one of my favourite things in the world. I love how she cares about nutrition and the origin of the ingredients but also about colour and composition. It is well-ballanced, beautiful and meaningful. Arigatou gozaimasu.
@nadew.02 that must be delicious. I have never tried Tunisian food, but I once met really nice Tunisian women and we showed each other how we dance. I did a bit of flamenco from Spain and they did their dance and it was really cool how it was similar at times.
Your mum was very good at explaining what she was doing and why. I really learned somethings I want to try. Please thank her for taking part in your videos! I hope we get more like this. ❤
How respectful you are when you say forty years of homemaking experience! I have never noticed somebody saying years of experience on housemaking job. So, people say, I have this much experience in blah blah blah field but not housemaking. This gentleman totally changed the concept of stereotypical housemaking. I also love the tradition of Japanese people praying before eating. It felt so good to see this topic this way. More power to you and your mom!
I am your new subsciber from the Philippines. Your mom cooks the best ! Love it😋So love the food its so healthy❤️I like how the salmon was cooked. Nutritionally balanced.👍🏼
Yes, I would enjoy watching your mother cook again. Hopefully simple dishes as I am in the US and may find getting some of the ingredients difficult to find. I would also like to see how she pickles and firments. I love her explanations as to how and why she does things. That was very helpful. Please tell her thank you from me. ❤❤❤
That is such a respectful and beautiful way to address a homemaker... 40 years experience in homemaking! In my country, homemakers are casually refereed to as housewives. As if they do nothing. Their entire life, maintaining a home, ensuring everyone is fed, is healthy, things are organized, means nothing.
In our language the concept of housewife would literally sound like mistress, less often also - mother of the house. In our language these words include both work and motherly care.
What is bad about the word "housewife"? It's work around the house performed by the wife. Nowhere in the word is anything about doing nothing, I suspect you might've connected it to the term "lazing around the house" but that's got nothing to do with the word. It has no negative connotations.
@@okuu5091 Do you belong to the same country as me? Have you met and talked to the same people as I did? Did you see all the couples I observed since childhood? Have you been a part of all discussions around gender roles that I've had with friends, relatives, colleagues over the years? I clearly stated 'in my country'. I didn't say I find this a negative or degrading word.
@@etherealecstasygo work and let your husband be stay at home dad, then you'll see what it means to have a real work. I'm a woman and I can confirm that working 9-5 is more difficult than being a housewife
OH !!! Thank you! thank you! thank you ! This video help me a lot and stimulate me to cook Japanese styles, your mother explained very well, and now i can go to the Japanese's grocery store and i have an idea what i buy to cook. Please, could you show us more delicious plates, and for breakfast? 😍
Please thank you your mother for taking time, energy and love to shared with us all global fans. Loved her kitchen - big and so clean. Bravo! She lives in Japan or in US?
A beautifully presented cooking vlog with your mums experience ❤️. It was interesting learning at the same time 😀. Thanks for sharing 👍 and greetings from England 🇬🇧 Simon and Beth ❤🙋
I’m soooo obsessed with your videos 🤩 it’s the best thing I’ve found to watch every day and all day long. Never get tired of watching (even the same ones I watched already) such joy and renovating vibe 😌🥰. Thank you so MACHAAA! 🙏🏻😌🇯🇵
I’m from Croatia. My mom taught me how to cook traditionally but she also taught me Japanese way and macrobiotic cooking. Even though she never left Croatia, she took real effort to learn how to cook Japanese cuisine, and mind you, back in the 80s, 90s, when the information wasn’t so accessible. I was lucky to visit Japan two times, and each time I must admit, I prefer to eat at my friends homes because their mothers cooked soooo good! This was a lovely masterclass, I think I’m gonna browse all of your channel for more and more authentic tips. Thank you and your mom 💜 とても感謝しています
In my culture housewife is called (Rabbat Bayt =ربة بيت) meaning literally goddess or the owner. Love to see the most difficult job being cherished in your culture as well. Love and Peace🇵🇸💚
Your mother is lovely! Thank you for sharing her with us. I hope you do have more lessons on cooking. I am a chef and always interested in broadening my horizons.
I just came across your video watched it for the first time And I’m a subscriber instantly I really love the way your mother explains things and that you leave the English subtitles on the bottom of the screen long enough so that I can read what is going on and I can also see in the picture what she’s doing So many times these type of videos throw the words up on the screen so fast that you don’t get a chance to read what’s going on and look at the video at the same time So thank you for that I look forward to seeing all the videos you can possibly produce Your mother looks like a fantastic cook And thank you so much for those beautiful recipes Please don’t stop !
I would love to see more cooking and recipes from Japan. I love Japanese food but there seems to be so many steps! It’s nice to see it in the videos and makes me hungry! Thank you for your wonderful channel.
Wow, I could watch you and your mom cooking all day! I love japanese food so much (cooking and eating :3) but there is nothing like mamas way to do it. I would really love to see more from your moms kitchen stories
Thank you for sharing your mother’s cooking with us. I don’t have any request, but I’d love to learn more. I’ve been trying to use cook books and recipes, but I never can quite get it right. Thank you again for sharing!
Love, love, love this!! Thank you so much for sharing 💕💕 I love the simplicity of your lifestyle, your mindset, and your daily cooking videos so much, thank you for your time & effort.
Love it that your mom's a good teacher and very meticulously thoughtful in how she prepared the food, even with quality ingredients - such love! We could imagine it tasted soooo delicious! Bless your mom!
oh my goodness, your mother is an amazing teacher! She is so lovely, and I don't remember the last time I was so engaged in a cooking video. I learned so much from her. Please thank her and ask her to share more!
Wonderful! So enjoyable and informative. Your mother needs her own youtube! I was touched by her attention to detail in both cooking and presentation. Delightful!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful mom’s loving cooking. I love good home cooking by a loving heart w/ hard working experience. I love it that she uses a lot of vegetables.
It was beautiful watching your Mom creating those amazing dishes with so much love! Obviously love was the most important ingredient she used. Please make more videos with your sweet Mother.
I have learned so many things from this video, thank you so much! I am a chef and I am really interested in traditional Japanese cooking. So I am really looking forward to see more videos with your mother's cooking!
This is really wonderful. You should make a book with your mum. You could teach the world how to cook Japanese. It’s so healthy. Thank you I really enjoyed it. Your mum explains it so well 😍😍
OMG! Loved this video!!! SO GREAT! You can feel the love and warmth from her kitchen through the video! Wow Japanese culture has it all - mindfulness, healthy approach to food, elegance!! Thanks for sharing!! 👌🏻🙌🏻☺️
I’ve watched many Japanese cooking videos - and this one is top-notch! Very well done! I appreciate the recipes, the details of the ingredients with brands and names, the technique descriptions - everything. Please do more of these from time to time. Great job!
Oh merci 🥰 Ta maman explique très bien les recettes. Serait-il possible d’avoir d’autres vidéos de ce type (Dashi, curry, soupe miso, soba ? 😍) Bigs kisses from PARIS
Thank you for showing a real homemade Japanese mom dishes. As I was born in Ukraine and lived in America for 30 and being a mom for many years my culinary basics are more like European and American. I also experiment with cuisine from other cultures. Japanese cuisine was a big passion for me for a few years. I learned a lot but still I wasn't sure if the recipes that I learned are really as authentic as Japanese moms cooking for families. I am so glad you decided to film your moms recipes. Please, make more of these videos!
This particular video is so inspiring for a young homemaker like me! Coz your mother not just demonstrated how to prepare simple and delicate homemade Japanese food, she also presenting Japanese spirit and value as a whole too. I respect for her seriousness towards the precious ingredients. And I hope you can make this in a series. :)
Thank you so much, Aki-san! This is, in my very humble opinion, your best video to date. I LOVED watching your Mother cook so many amazing dishes. I wish you could make more videos like this with her. Maybe you could have her make a dish of food and then do a kitchen tour, talk about the fish grill (sadly, in US, we don't have that here, but we do have larger counter-top ovens), the utensils she has like the little round miso scoop-whisk, and the mesh bowl for the rice and the mesh tray. I am always on the look out for practical kitchen items like that (also not readily found here in US). I bet you could do dozens of these little combo videos with her. I really enjoyed watching you eat her food too. Truly, a wonderful meal made from our Mothers are always the very best. 🙏💖🙏 Again, thank you so much for the video and for all that you do! Take care and be safe! 😊💖🙏
Hi Aki, great video. It's great when the older generation can teach the junger generation and there are so many ways do to it. I see you wear different Japanese clothing (sometimes in combination with modern clothing). I like to ask what japanese clothing you wear over the seasons. I got a Jinbei for summer and it's was really nice. But now the weather is changing. Have a nice day, I'm looking forward for videos. 😁
Thankyou for allowing us into your kitchen, Mama-san 😃 I learnt some recipes which I'm gonna try make Also I didn't know that you can keep the waste rice water for other purposes, that's a very useful tip
This was a beautiful video. We all need to see more of this on TH-cam and remember to enjoy the simple pleasure of cooking at home, and, if we are lucky to have family to cook for, cooking at home for those we love!
I love learning about Japanese life ways and cooking. I really like the no waste lifeways so I would really like to learn more about that as it pertains to all areas of Japanese life including cooking.
Delightful and delicious, thanks Aki's mum! I really like Japanese food that I've tasted, but I don't have many of the things around to cook it myself, so I'd love to see more cooking here.
She is so sweet and an amazing cook! Thank you for sharing this and thanks to her for taking the time to show us her recipes. Homecooking is such a valuable thing!

It's pretty incredible that the lotus flower stew is pretty much the same as an Estonian stew... Just some different root vegetables.
Yes, I would enjoy watching your mother cook again. Hopefully simple dishes as I am in the US and may find getting some of the ingredients difficult to find. I would also like to see how she pickles and firments.
I love her explanations as to how and why she does things. That was very helpful.

I'd like to see a pickle video, too!
She is AMAZING
So nice to see someone appreciating their mother.

America has a money-making culture. If you stay home, you're not making money. That is why "housewife" carries such a stigma.
Nothing like a home-cooked meal with love and care from Mum (a very important member of the household).
Wow, your mom works so hard. That was great to watch. Thank you Aki.
Japanese home cooked meals are simply TO DIE FOR! 😍
Yes, please make more videos of your mom cooking or cleaning house, gardening, whatever. It's very calming to watch.
OH !!! Thank you! thank you! thank you ! This video help me a lot and stimulate me to cook Japanese styles, your mother explained very well, and now i can go to the Japanese's grocery store and i have an idea what i buy to cook. Please, could you show us more delicious plates, and for breakfast? 😍
I am from Thailand. Thanks your mom for sharing the cooking secrets. I love Japanese food. I will try to make it.
Mothers or grandmother's recips are the best😉
Please thank you your mother for taking time, energy and love to shared with us all global fans. Loved her kitchen - big and so clean. Bravo! She lives in Japan or in US?

Fantastic! I learned things! Cool the veg to get more flavor! How did I not know this? And the foam skimmer! And more! Thank you and thank you, Mom!
You are right. Food cooked by mom tastes the best! Thank you for sharing with us Aki. Greetings for your mother!

I really enjoyed watching your mum's cooking and 'urawaza'. Please do more of this kind of videos as we can learn more about healthy home cooking.

Wow. I learned so much more from your mom than from any professional chefs.
You've a wonderful mom cooking everything with lots of love ❤😊 You're very lucky 😊
Yes please! Make more videos of your mom cooking!!!!!
Can you try to make a video of your mom showing her day? A day in a life?I find her very nteresting. Her recipes all look so good!
In my culture housewife is called (Rabbat Bayt =ربة بيت) meaning literally goddess or the owner. Love to see the most difficult job being cherished in your culture as well. Love and Peace🇵🇸💚
Your mother is lovely! Thank you for sharing her with us. I hope you do have more lessons on cooking. I am a chef and always interested in broadening my horizons.
I just came across your video watched it for the first time
And I’m a subscriber instantly
I really love the way your mother explains things and that you leave the English subtitles on the bottom of the screen long enough so that I can read what is going on and I can also see in the picture what she’s doing
So many times these type of videos throw the words up on the screen so fast that you don’t get a chance to read what’s going on and look at the video at the same time
So thank you for that
I look forward to seeing all the videos you can possibly produce
Your mother looks like a fantastic cook
And thank you so much for those beautiful recipes
Please don’t stop !
Your mums a fabulous cook, beautiful meals. Blessings to you and uour family.
Wow, just wow! Your mom made it look easy to put together that fabulous meal! My thanks to you both! 🎉
This video was great, really enjoyed it. It made Japanese cooking seem very approachable and your mom explains very well.
loved the way she incorporated the kombu and the other ingredient for the broth, definitely trying the miso recipe over the weekend.
I would love to see more cooking and recipes from Japan. I love Japanese food but there seems to be so many steps! It’s nice to see it in the videos and makes me hungry! Thank you for your wonderful channel.

Mom’s cooking is always the best. I am going to try the broth next time I make miso soup.
Moms are the most under- appreciated people in the world. Thanks for featuring her.
She may also grows a banana tree. Used it’s leave to do all kind of baking. Go green! And decomposed naturally. No baking papers.
Love you mother for making such a delicious food!!!
Love, love, love this!! Thank you so much for sharing 💕💕 I love the simplicity of your lifestyle, your mindset, and your daily cooking videos so much, thank you for your time & effort.
