This time, I made shiogama-yaki (salt-baked seabream). It is said that this dish originated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he wanted to gift freshly caught seabream to his mother, so he wrapped it in salt to keep the fish moist and flavorful. By wrapping the fish with salt, it steams the fish evenly and keeps it very juicy. This type of dish is often served at a ceremonial events in Japan. The cooking process is actually pretty simple, so if you get a chance, please give it a try! ご視聴、ありがとうございます。今回は鯛の塩釜焼きです。日本における塩釜焼きは、豊臣秀吉が九州の玄界灘で獲れた鯛を塩で包み、母に贈ったのが始まりと言われているそうです。九州に住んでいるのに、最近になって知りました。塩で包み、水分を外へ逃さず蒸し焼きにする事ができので、身がとてもジューシーに仕上がります。祝いの席などでしかあまり見かけませんが、調理は意外とシンプルです。塩も安い粗塩（1kgで100円弱）を使いましたが、とても美味しくできました。ウロコがない魚を使う場合は、昆布を多めに使い、塩に触れる部分を減らしてください (それでも、長時間放置すると塩辛くなるのではやり出来立てが1番美味しいです)。
I only ever tried salt baking chiken, it turned out delicious. Going to try with local fish as well. I love how as soon as the fish appeared Poki went "yup, it's time to move closer to the food." As for the egg cracking, I always crack them on a smooth surface, on their side. Less broken pieces in the egg. Poki took that piece of fish with fingers instead of finger limes. 😅
I'm always amazed how calmly the cats watch you cook. Even Poki lets you keep the fresh fish in front of him! Meanwhile my little guy won't even let me eat a sandwich in peace.
They know they'll get to scent sample during the process and that they'll get a taste at the end (if appropriate). They know they're welcome to observe from those chairs. Having routines like this helps a lot. They know they don't need to press Jun to share the experience with them. I do the same with my cat. He used to be a lot more anxious and demanding but now that he knows I'll give him a taste at the end (again if appropriate for cats) he can chill 😺
I still remember how they first got poki 😂. That was so long ago. I moved 5 times since then. Never think that 1 day my job going to move me closer to them.
The best part is, if you know how cats usually display affection, you can really tell how safe and cherished they feel from being included like that! Cats absolutely love to be a part of what their human is doing, so letting them watch so closely and allowing them to sniff/inspect everything is a great way to bond with them
you can tell how trusting the cats are of Jun. He hammers the fish open in front of Poki and Poki doesn't even flinch despite it being pretty loud. My cat flinches if I sneeze near her XD
Looking at cats, attending an outdoor market, action (praying mantis battle), and watching jun cook all under a comfortable atmosphere…this is my favorite type of content
新社会人として上京してから早数ヶ月。まさかこの動画で地元の風景を見れるなんて思いもしませんでした…すごく懐かしく感じます。じゅんさん、ありがとう！ It has passed some months since I left my hometown to work in Tokyo.And then I am so surprised to watch the scenery of my place(0:44) I spent a lot of time at in this video. That makes me being moved so much, thank you, Jun!
I never really had a role model to look up to, or even just a person who I feel like I would want to grow to be like, but you have become of of the first people ive started to look up to. Even just the way you present your self and how the stuff around you is, it almost feels like a dream that I had as a kid. It amazing to watch all the stuff you have put out and it makes me feel like I want to do something to, so thank you.
I still remember watching the videos of the garden, as well as the house being made and I absolutely love how the layout of the garden and kitchen looks! You've come so far! Definitely something I'd love to have- maybe one day I'll have enough patience 🌱
You’ve given your cats such an amazing life. It’s one of the reasons I still watch after so many years. There’s something uniquely genuine and kind abt you and your videos. Seeing your cats watch you so peacefully validates that feeling. I wish you and Rachel nothing but the best, thank you for sharing such beautiful videos with the world ♥️
I haven't seen this channel in years and I'm glad to see a new face and a new (to me) kitchen. Your channel is the reason I love to let my cats become somewhat involved in things like cooking.
This is my cat’s fav channel. We hang out on the couch together and watch 2 or 3 in a row. She’ll get up every now and again to get really close and boop the screen, but mostly sits with me purring and watching
I love watching the cats watch you cook. Seeing their reactions when you show them you've got and then what you do with it. Seeing how curious they are. Its a very real and strong connection between you and your cats, just in how you interact with them.
My grandma has been in the hospital since November 2022. She loves cats a lot, so I occasionally would show her your cooking videos as it was an opportunity for her and I to bond. Thanks for providing content everyone could enjoy❤ Keep up the good work, Jun. :)
this video brings me so much nostalgia. i’ve never had sea bream, but in the game cooking mama, the salt baked sea bream recipe was one of my favorites to make as a kid!
Your videos are the most calming, peaceful, enjoyable, cozy, genuine, and love filled videos I have ever watched. Thank you for all the time and care you put into each video. You are extremely talented, well spoken, kind, real, and humble person I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching! I’m sure I sound like a real weirdo now but I just really want to thank you for these. As a single first time mom of a 11 month old, the complete lack of chaos, anxiety, and stress in your videos really helps me unwind during nap times on tough days especially! So thank you again for all you do for your viewers! We love all you guys!❤
The photography, the cats, the music, your skill and respect for your ingredients: Lovely! Thank you for bringing us into the beautiful life you and Rachel have created!
I think he still does it since they still turn the trash and recycle bins to face each other at night (it was in one of their vlogs in the house) so he can't get into the recycle (still so amused by how he always went to the wrong one lol)
I don't want to assume what your real life is like just from your TH-cam videos, but it seems magical. Thank you for sharing a small piece of it with us.
I've always wanted to try salt baking a fish but thought it was too hard. This video showed how easy it actually was! Now I might just have to give it a try ❤
I cannot even return home from work with my hands smelling like fish or seafood, that my cat will instantly meow and nibble at my fingers, while your cats are so well-composes even when a fresh fish is in front of their face!
this was a wonderful video Jun, thanks. I loved the work you put into sculpting the salt crust, the new way of cracking eggs, the predawn trip to the fish market, and I especially enjoyed the time in the garden with butterfly, and the mantis siblings. It was all very good. I appreciate your thoughtful work.
Wow, that is so much dedication to get up at 3.30 am! I'm more likely to stay UP till that time of night LOL I have grown rosemary and basil in small pots on my back deck, and lemme tell ya, it is IMPRESSIVE how big Jun's plants are! That takes a LOT of trimming and care to keep them that neat and accessible for trimming. For basil alone, you have to trim off the tops every time it tries to flower, so that it doesn't get "distracted" from growing more leaves. I've never heard of Finger Limes before, but I love them! :D
I never thought I would have rosemary envy, but seeing that lovely big bush and then looking over at the puny little plant in a pot that I have definitely made me a little envious.
I've been watching your videos for a few years now on all your channels and you guys have been one of my all time favourite creators You and Rachel are adorable, your cats are lovely, your cooking and other chores are so pleasing to watch. I've been going through a lot of stress lately, and now I find myself crying because of how calm and at peace in all this chaos your video made me feel. Just really felt like saying this, thank you. I love you guys.
i really like this channel a lot. when covid happened, being stuck at home sucked. i made a lot of instant ramen, but i had learned to make soft boiled eggs from watching these videos. it also just helped make times feel less down. idk! i really appreciate this channel :)
Wow! Just look at those cute and well disciplined lovely cats, they just sit and watching Jun's cooking, even they didn't fight for the fresh fish. It's so adorable to watch.❤️

Nagi's review sold me.
I remember watching Julia Child make fish this way. So cool!!
So glad you guys are doing ok I hope all your cats have been healthy, you guys are the best TH-cam cooks
Oh wow!! I love it when people from very different places come up with the same recipe!!
I'm always amazed how calmly the cats watch you cook. Even Poki lets you keep the fresh fish in front of him! Meanwhile my little guy won't even let me eat a sandwich in peace.
I'm especially amazed at Poki. I'd have thought he'd jump at that fish, but he was such a good boy.
The days when Pokki got trapped in the trash on a regular basis tho 🤣
Smh when Jun cooks Pokki was always pretty restrained tho.
They know they'll get to scent sample during the process and that they'll get a taste at the end (if appropriate). They know they're welcome to observe from those chairs. Having routines like this helps a lot. They know they don't need to press Jun to share the experience with them. I do the same with my cat. He used to be a lot more anxious and demanding but now that he knows I'll give him a taste at the end (again if appropriate for cats) he can chill 😺
Poki has come such a long way. It seems he finally figured out that he doesn't need to fight for his food anymore.
They’re well trained!
JUNSKITCHEN JUST UPLOADED, THE WORLD TRULY IS HEALING
His other channel uploads more than this one.. Jun Yoshizuki
OK, EVERYONE SHUT UP. JUNSKITCHEN NEW VIDEO IS UP.
HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!
They only upload when they need income for the house 😂
TFW a comment gets nearly as many likes as the video itself, lol.
Something about Jun videos is so comfy + cat cuteness and me squealing at how adorable Haku was in the garden
Jun is the main character in a slice of life anime.
@@zlozlozlo It also is a very common Japanese family name.
this is my favorite cooking channel on youtube, as far as i've seen nothing but wholesome quality content.
Love ur mysta pfp
mysta TT
There was a time Poki wouldn't have been able to sit just like that while Jun was cooking. And see how far he has come. So cute!🥰
I still remember how they first got poki 😂. That was so long ago. I moved 5 times since then. Never think that 1 day my job going to move me closer to them.
nothing better than Haku, Nagi and Poki watching Jun cook, hope someday Pichi feels confortable enough to join :3
Yeah😊
With the way Pichi has been developing, I believe she'll be joining soon. As long as Poki is around, she has all the emotional support she needs!

I think they might be used to loud sounds by now since they seem to be used to the DIY that happens around the house too 😂

Even in the crack of dawn, Haku always brightens up a day!
it`s always so stunning to me how behaved these cats are.
Fresh fish and they not fighting over it. DAMN
Usually a good indicator that they are well fed and well cared for. Really good to see
Aww! He was using one of the plates Rachel got for his birthday 😊
日本人のファンです！junさんの動画とても大好きで何回も見てます！！日本語字幕ほんとに助かります😭可能なら他のまだ字幕のない動画にも今後つけてくれると嬉しいです🙏
Sculpting the salt with the fish design was very cute! I have not seen this dish before so it was cool to see how it is prepared.

Those mantis were fascinating.
This was so much fun to watch. I love how you let the cats smell everything

ハーブ🌿が元気に育つ明るい庭とキッチン
新鮮な魚も素敵😊
Poki looking like he was waving bye too at the end was just too cute
Love your videos, Jun! They are perfect combination of cooking and cats
My favorite notification to get on my phone is to see that Jun posted 😩😩
The photography, the cats, the music, your skill and respect for your ingredients: Lovely! Thank you for bringing us into the beautiful life you and Rachel have created!
Loved seeing the little mantises!
Haha! Your comment just brought back memories of Poki’s fluffy butt poking out of the trash can! Such a funny video 😂
I think he still does it since they still turn the trash and recycle bins to face each other at night (it was in one of their vlogs in the house) so he can't get into the recycle (still so amused by how he always went to the wrong one lol)
I don't want to assume what your real life is like just from your TH-cam videos, but it seems magical. Thank you for sharing a small piece of it with us.
These videos always feel like the warm hug of a loved one, had several bad days that were made better by one of your videos, thank you.
I can't believe how good those cats are. Especially Poki. I'd have thought he'd jump at that fish like there's no tomorrow.
I'm always impressed with how efficiently and cleanly you prep your meals. You really have the touch of an expert. Even your camera work is on point
The little mantis fight was adorable! And your food always looks delicious.
I love how calm Jun's voice is it's so relaxing to just write to and enjoy
God I love Juns cooking and kind of like harvesting videos, it’s so calming and I love it. The cats are adorable too
Amazing calming video with cooking and cats 🐈🐈
7:45 This moment with the black cat with the paw is sooo cute.😊
I've always wanted to try salt baking a fish but thought it was too hard. This video showed how easy it actually was! Now I might just have to give it a try ❤
It's really calming and relaxing to see your cats sitting on the chair in front of you and watching the cooking process without touching anything.
It's always a good day when Jun uploads
Love to see how Poki is all chill now and he knows he’s going to get something good too!
Poki always seems on his best behaviour for the cooking show, he must really love it! ❤
7:45 Poki's paw! I just cannot
WoW. The kitties are precious angels and your culinary skills, astonishing. I smiled the entire video. You're a complete treasure, Jun.
I cannot even return home from work with my hands smelling like fish or seafood, that my cat will instantly meow and nibble at my fingers, while your cats are so well-composes even when a fresh fish is in front of their face!
I had a salt baked steak exactly once in my life and I still dream about it! So I'm sure this is amazing too!
this was a wonderful video Jun, thanks. I loved the work you put into sculpting the salt crust, the new way of cracking eggs, the predawn trip to the fish market, and I especially enjoyed the time in the garden with butterfly, and the mantis siblings.

Perfect way to start my Sunday, with Haku, Nagi and Poki 💕
What’s Jun, chopped liver?
@@aWomanFreed lol maybe 😂
@@aWomanFreed, Jun allows the cats to be the stars in the show no matter the subject of the video. ☺️
Jun drops those eggs like a street magician 😂, also Haku vs Butterfly need a rematch!
I always get so excited for every upload!
いい「塩」梅というのは洒落が効いてていいですねえ。
Look at Poki just sitting there, going to his chair, sniffing fresh fish and watching calmly. He wanted that cracked egg though!
Wow. Your rosemary is gorgeous!
いつも楽しく見てます！
猫ちゃんたちかわいい❤️
There's a thunderstorm outside right now and it's very comforting to watch jun cook
I love watching these videos anytime I'm stressed or homesick or sad, thank you jun for creating such a comfortable space !
Wow, that is so much dedication to get up at 3.30 am! I'm more likely to stay UP till that time of night LOL

Your videos give me the ultimate comfort and having an upload on a quiet sunday morning is just absolutely perfect
The cats watching Jun is just precious!
im always so impressed by how polite and well-mannered poki has become!!!
It’s always a good day when Jun’s Kitchen uploads~
your vegetable garden is growing so nicely I love ur veggie garden keep up the hard work!
Poki seems to have really mellowed out! I can’g believe he’s the same cat. What a cutie.
My cat and I love watching your videos! Amazing job as always
Your videos comfort me so much. I was so worried because you weren‘t posting
I'm waiting for Jun's video to upload everyday, and it finally happened. Truly worth it
Everything about this video is serene and aesthetically beautiful!
いつも素敵な動画をありがとうございます😊
Great recipe Jun! God bless you and Rachel!
Slicing the lemon was so satisfying
Poki is so quiet when watching you cook!! Thank you for sharing Jun
Love how Jun was cooking as much for the cats as the video ❤
I never thought I would have rosemary envy, but seeing that lovely big bush and then looking over at the puny little plant in a pot that I have definitely made me a little envious.
Jun is a wizard.
I've been watching your videos for a few years now on all your channels and you guys have been one of my all time favourite creators

Cooking and cats - back to the roots of JunsKitchen and it's a good way to start my day. Thank you for the lovely video.

Same here. I can tell just from looking at it that it's gotta be amazing.
I love the addition of the insect footage! ❤
Great recipe but gotta say always here for the cats. Poki’s manners are so improved.
Love the high quality videos Jun!
