Man this might not sound insanely "fancy and cool" to you, but to me, a high school student in America, all of this food is really awesome, and I cannot wait to try matcha myself, as I love tea but have never tried it.
It’s sooooo good. I like to add milk and sugar/honey so then it’s like a latte that tastes like green tea ice cream:) I like plain tea too but it’s extra delicious when you add milk and honey
I've always gotten the Matcha latte at Starbucks, if you like it a little more bitter and coffee taste, add an extra shot of espresso. I like matcha iced latte, but you can also order it hot.
@@larsonfamilyhouse Whoa addin honey and milk to it sounds so good! Maybe I should try it!
Fast food establishments and portion size is what makes us all fat and sick. I eat a hamburger every now and then. But I buy the ingredients and make it at home. Healthier.
Even grocery stores sell tea. I grew up drinking tea as a child. My father brought home Jasmine loose leaf in a canister from Hong Kong in the 70s.
I learned about matcha benefits many years ago. If you have Ecoideas brand, they have culinary grade that's been tested for heavy metals. Their matcha is organic coming from Japan. Ceremonial tends to be more expensive so, start with culinary grade. Buying matcha drinks outside is expensive so, save that for special occasions. Also, dairy milk hinders the nutrients in matcha so, it's better to avoid that and sugar. Many diseases today are traced back to our diet and lifestyle over the years. It's harder to reverse ingrained habits as an adult than when you're younger. Good luck in starting your tea journey.
"I'm sorry it's not very fancy and cool"
Dude it's so COOOOOOOL
As a Brazilian living in France, my breakfast is two slices of bread with brie cheese + sliced banana with oats and honey (I like to eat in the morning it makes me feel strong)
In the lunch, I usually have rice/mashed potatoes/chicken with onions and soy sauce, with a tangerine on the side.
For dinner, it's either crêpes (with cheese ham and eggs) or couscous with eggs, and yogurt on the side. If it's too late I won't drink tea but I love it!
I incorporated many french elements in my daily meal routine, but some north-eastern Brazilian roots are still here, such as liking a strong breakfast
Thank you soooo much!!!!
OMG a brazilian here too. We are everywhere 😆
Caraca manow, n tem tapioca ae nãum? kkkkk Maneeeero, vc consegue manter uma dieta parecida com a daqui de casa, por exemplo... Irado
You have to eat a diet that your ancestors has eaten and survived harsh environmental conditions.
Hope that helps!
Ae me deu uma ideia boa do que comer amanhã de manhã hahahaah
The most difficult part of the routine for me is, "I wake up and clean my room" 😁😁😆😆
And at 5 am!
You can clean your room in the afternoon instead, makes no difference.
In my opinion, this lifestyle shows so much appreciation and gratitude for everything in his life. I am so grateful for this channel. ❤
ive started eating rice for breakfast (usually with green onions, a medium fried egg and soy sauce on top) and i gotta say it is a freaking amazing way to start the day. Since i make the rice in advance the whole thing only takes 3 min and it fills me up for hours.
That sounds good Katelyn! I will cook some Wild Rice beforehand and have it for breakfast tomorrow.
I don't know if you know about leftover rice syndrome...but be careful to not leave it out at room temperature.
@@richardvass1462 i would never
Do you ever save leftover rice? If so what is the best way to safely store it after it's cooked?
@@mirandamarquette1438 i don't do anything fancy, just seal it in tupperware and throw it in the fridge
Nah, this allegedly not-fancy and not-cool video is a lot better than the unrealistic "what I ear in a day" we often see out there. Love the good vibes.
Your students are lucky to have you! Your simple meals reflect your simple life. Your home is clean and peaceful, not cluttered and noisy. Many of us are trying to learn again how to live our lives with fewer and simpler things. Your channel shows how peaceful a life not focused on consumerism can be.
Most Japanese eat like that, including his students and their families.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo
I absolutely love his minimalist lifestyle. He has really inspired me to eat healthier and to discard all of the clutter in my apartment. I am going to subscribe to this channel right now.❤❤
Amen!
Aki: "I'm sorry that's not very fancy and cool.."
Also Aki: *records an entertaining process of healthy traditional meal preparation with RPG alchemist vibes*
No, this is beyond cool.
Watching your videos always warms my heart. I don't know if it is just me but watching you relaxes me. Thank you for the great content!
The same feeling here ^^
Same here
I can keep doing my best thanks to you guys!!
me too! It's probably the samurai spirit
Likewise!!
Japanese vloggers get up so early and clean so perfectly. I must be very lazy, but you inspire me to be better. Thank you 😊
As a mother that homeschools her children, I love videos like this that offer a window into other cultures and ways of life. Thank you for sharing with us ❤
I love the simplicity of the meals and the ritualistic part of it. Thank you for sharing this with us. I am a vegetarian so no meat, poultry, or fish for me! But I am inspired now to make simple and easy meals for myself! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
Wow that udon looks so good. The fact that you can eat it everyday and not get tired of it really speaks for itself.
I couldn't eat that, too unhealthy. I avoid processed carbs and carbs in general. It's a garbage source of energy, keto is healthy. I eat healthy fats instead of junk like carbs.
I feel healthy already just by looking at this.
I am an Asian-American (although not Japanese). I love to eat miso soup, rice with kimchi or nori and oily fish for breakfast every day. I never get tired of it. I am going to try it with egg. It sounds delicious. I live with Americans, so the evening meal is often Western food. I always cook plenty of clear soups to start the meal and they love it.
I appreciate japanese culture for so many things. The spirituality, the gratitude, the affirmation you have, that's really amazing. Thank you for your videos. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇯🇵 by the way, have you noticed the similarity between our flags? 😊😊
I’m from the US but I’ve never really liked western breakfast food. About a year and a half ago I started eating Japanese style breakfast. とてもおいしいです！^ - ^
I felt so much better and stayed full for a very long time.
Now almost every day starts with miso soup, rice, various pickles or veggies, tofu/egg/fish. 😊
I love this
I appreciate how well mannered you are.
For breakfast here in England I usually drink black coffee and eat nothing till lunch time.
That's the way mate.
@@cycloneranger5354 This is the way.
Not typical to your country. Coffee? 🙄 You'll get ulcers from this unhealthy behaviour.
I admire the Japanese attitudes to diet. The small portions ensure that we don't overeat and we can actually finish the food on the plate without any waste. It also allows us to have variety of foods so that we include as many nutrients which we require on a daily basis and it also looks better, more beautiful and pleasing. I try to be aware of my portions and exercise control so I get the right amount of food that my body needs. This can be different depending on age, height, gender and level of activity during the day. The more active you are the more food you might require to get more energy.
I've had some experience of drinking matcha tea but it wasn't the traditional ceremonial matcha tea powder. I have had a matcha tea KitKat a few times. I enjoy the taste!
The way that people eat in certain countries in Europe are actually quite healthy and promote longer life span. For example, the Mediterranean diet in countries like Italy and Greece are associated with lower rates for heart disease and cancer. People cook more and prepare meals with fresh locally sourced ingredients. France has a reputation for high quality and fresh ingredients in home cooking and keeps people slim. People in these countries consume less processed foods and snacks. That's why they're healthier. Britain's obesity rate is higher than most other countries in Europe.
I admire the Japanese attitudes just about everything!!!!
Yes in most countries increase in obesity is almost always correlated to increase in eating highly processed foods.🤔
Germany's pretty bad at this point, too. People eat way too much junk and fast food, starting from a very young age.
excellent English, interesting content, minimalist approach to food is a must nowadays. I love Japanese food, I stopped struggling with my weight when I used this way of thinking ten years ago.
love how exited he is to show us how to make perfect matcha xd
Because of the sponsor, doh 😂
I am from Andalucía, in Spain. We use to drink a cold drink that I love: gazpacho. (I drink it in all the seasons). The recipe is tomatoes, green pepper, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. You can do enough for a big bottle. Then, in your lunch, dinner, etc, you only have to serve it in a glass, with two glasses you have enough. I use to drink it in all my meals till is finished. It is very healthy and it hydrates you very much. The field workers in the past used to drink eat to recover the forces. You can find it in the supermarket abroad but that is totally different, that is only tomato juice. It is better if you do it at home.
You made me want to gazpacho!! thank you for telling me the recipe.
Hi, may I ask, with green pepper do you mean a bell pepper or the spice? Either way sounds delicious, I want to give it a try! 😊
@@hybridmems Bell pepper!
Isnt Gazpatcho like a cold soup? is that a drink the way you make it?
@@robinmp8300 My understanding is that traditionally gazpacho is served as a drink, and most of the recipes I've seen (including the one I use) involve blending the vegetables quite fine so it's more of a thick juice. But I've eaten very tasty, more souplike gazpacho in restaurants in the U.S. where the vegetables are just chopped up and kind of floating in a seasoned tomato juice. So I guess these days it depends on which you prefer.
You might think your meals are not fancy or anything, but they're absolutely wonderful for people looking to discover new staple meals that are easy to cook and easier to love. I'm also so hungry after watching. The smoothie + warm matcha is such a good combo.
I really appreciate this video for being realistic. Having good dishes without needing a lot of preparation time is crucial to me.
I can’t believe that u said daily routine wasn’t cool. It absolutely WAS! I subscribed and liked immediately after watching it!! I love Japan. Can’t wait to visit!👍🏾
“Simplicity is an advanced course.” - Chinese proverb (if I remember correctly) You have mastered it. Drinking matcha in the igloo looks super cool and cozy. Everything looks delicious except for the first dish with raw egg. But that’s just my preference. I’ll try to shake my matcha in the way you showed it in the second option. 😊
I'm happy to see a more down-to-earth example of what Japanese eat! The effort i see some other youtubers put into their food, plus having several different and (for my standard) complicated to prepare ingredients is so far from my own style 😂 I'm way closer to yours!
In the Philippines we eat Tuyo (Sun-Dried Salted Fish) Sunny Side-up Eggs, Fried Rice and Black Coffee.
I’ve improved my diet to drop some weight. For the last month for breakfast I have a 2 egg omelette with onion and a little hard cheese. Sometimes mushroom is included. I also pick a dozen different green leaves from my garden and make a green smoothie. I add freshly grown ginger, turmeric and citrus juice. It tastes a bit like lawn but has fresh life and good bacteria. It’s my direct connection to my garden and the natural world. I also have chickens and make my own eggs. For lunch I have unsweetened Greek yoghurt with cinnamon and raspberries. I eat avocado often. For dinner, a roasted fillet of salmon with cauliflower rice, other veggies or a green salad. I will use a rich sauce like mayonnaise or butter based and I add cheese often. I don’t eat bulk carbohydrates or added sugar anymore but I may eat a little rice in the future. I often fast and won’t eat for a day to heal my body from a lifetime of a western diet.
The built in fish grill is really cool. Thanks for helping us learn about minimalism in Japan. Where you live has much natural beauty.
Japan is not minimal, just handful of people are. Love this guy!
I love how you have specified exactly how many seconds you should take to stir or cook something. That is real precision!
Hello Samurai Matcha! I'm from the Czech republic. I've just found out your channel and I'm really impressed. Watching this videos is a great opportunity to improve my english in an interesting way (because I'm a selflearner). I'll realize something new about Japanese culture as well. Thanks 😉
I love this ! Very inspired ! And I love always getting information on how to cook the food I love traditionally or better ! I love the simple and down to earth style it’s so nice and your voiceover is so soothing for the morning !
Great vid!
In our Swedish household we usually eat the following:
Breakfast - Oat porridge or bread with butter and cheese with a cup of fresh brewed coffee
Lunch - A quick pasta
Fika - More coffee with some sweet bread or cookies
Dinner - Fish or vegetarian meatballs with potatoes and sauce
Oat porridge sounds nice!!
Fika! WIsh we have such a tradition in my country..
Hopefully you will get to add greens to your meals.
@Demon Slayer Sell, let the cool kids suffer!
Do you have diebeties already?? Carbs plus carbs+ coffee+carbs for fast bad fat production, and some potato carbs. You know human can function in perfect health eating 0 carbs & eating 1 meal a day right? You basically attack your pancreas & liver & gut 4 times or more a day. You also replaced healthy meat with artificial plastic substitute. You think its natural for body & healthy? Only butter, cheese(i Hope real not processed substitute) & fish saves you from dying of starving body away from real nutrition. If you also use plant oil for frying God save you. If you live 65 & without any transplantation it will be a miracle. And it common for majority of Europeans. That's the only reason so many ppl died in last year's. They earned half-dead state.
I truly like the simplicity of this lifestyle, thank you for sharing your daily life with us. Suggestion, would you please incorporate Japanese wordings in your videos so we can learn along how to say, understand and apply certain Japanese words in daily conversation with Japanese friends. Thank you.
Hi Aki, thank you for sharing little pieces of your life with us. It's very brave of you because I can tell that you don't do it for the attention, but simply to share. That is, to me an important part of the minimalist lifestyle. To be able to give away something that you might be tempted to keep all for yourself. You show us that it is healthier to open one's place of "hoarding", literally or figuratively, and melt into the fabric of presence and community. Your videos show that you have built a life that allows you to do this very well. I'm a mixed media artist, a gardener, an ecologist, moves a lot, and in general someone that wears many hats. It is a constant and everyday practice to remain minimal by questioning my priorities and how they change. I enjoy the movement and flow of meaningful items coming in and going out of my life, much like food being prepared, and then disappearing to become a part of us, and also in part returning back to the earth in another form. Look at how you've made me think deeply. Have you started a virtual minimalist dojo? Count me in!
Yay a new video :)
I drink matcha every day now because of you and I really feel better! I completely dropped drinking coffee
thank you for your inspiring videos
Thanks!!!
This is deff pretty cool! Would love to see more Japanese meal preparation, rituals, sayings, unusual foods and how to cook them. I feel like it'd be a great thing to try out myself here in the UK
My Canadian meals are not fancy or cool either:
Breakfast: Peanut butter and banana sandwich with a bit of honey. Side of fruit.
Lunch: Salad, vegan “chicken” nuggets, fruit.
Dinner: Spaghetti with vegan “meatballs,” side of veggies.
That’s it. 😅
Love your simplistic way of life. Simple and so zen, so healthy and inspiring. Thx Aki
Cheers to you my friend, I don't need "fancy" when I see this simple, healthy, authentic Japanese lifestyle! 😍
I recently started including Japanese style dishes in my Mediterranean diet and I love it, I think they are the healthiest cuisines 😀❤️
I found your videos a few days ago and love all of them! I bought and tasted matcha today. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. It wasn't as bitter as I thought it would be, and it had a very slight taste of seaweed, which was a nice surprise! I don't have the special wisp, so I used a small balloon-shaped one that worked okay for now. Thank you for being inspiring :)
Thank you for watching my videos!😁🙌
The simplicity has an elegance about it that makes it extremely appealing. Thanks for sharing.
This way of life looks so peaceful. Thank you for a beautiful video ♥️
Another great video Aki. I eat brown rice as well, I have done for many years. And miso soup. Yesterday I bought “the blue zone kitchen” by Dan Buettner, it’s a recipe book full of recipes from Okinawa, and other blue zone regions. I bought it because I want to live a VERY long, happy, healthy life! I think you want this too so maybe you will find the book interesting as well. Soon I will have a go making matcha tea. I need to buy the thing you stir with first. The igloo looked fun!
Thanks always for sharing me great comments! I'm curious about Okinawa's food too;-D
I can honestly say i would like to try and live like this.
Wish i had the courage, knowledge and money to do something like this. Looks peaceful and awesome.
Great to not be tied to useless gadgets and fancy spendings... Very inspiring.
I drink cold macha.
I put the macha into a shaker, fill it with half a coffee cup water, shake hard, pour into glass cup, fill it with ice until the macha nearly pours out - Drink and enjoy!
As an American woman I eat:
Breakfast: glass of almond milk
Lunch: a slice of cheddar sourdough with scallions cream cheese and peach black tea(iced of course)
Dinner: cranberry juice mixed with lime seltzer and salad with Parmesan cheese, croutons, honey mustard, and sliced breaded fake chicken(vegan)
2am 2nd Dinner: a collection of very random tiny portions of things I am craving. For example, five blueberries, a spoonful of almond butter, toasted slice of bread, cup of herbal tea with honey, one slice of pickle, a small bowl of mash potatoes made with almond milk and sage, and five blue corn tortilla chips baked with pepper jack cheese.
You must weigh like 90 lbs
I want to be minimalist now! It’s easy to get a ton of stuff in America but I feel like it just weights you down after awhile.
Absolutely 💯 ❤
That is incredible & awesome recipe too. Thank you for sharing my friend, Cheers!!😍😋👍👍
🙌
I love these videos. This guy seems like he’d be a really nice person to be around. Plus the food looks great.
A teacher true to the heart
Your food looks so healthy and delicious!
I'm a Ukrainian living in the US, and my food varies by season, but in the winter, it is the following:
Breakfast: Rye bread with eggs or other topping, like peanut butter. Sometimes spinach pie with tofu (I promise it is delicious) with black tea (I like to eat a lot of protein in the morning, so I don't get hungry before lunch)
Lunch: I like to eat borscht with beans, split pea soup, or some other kind of hearty stew
Dinner: sometimes I make just a hearty salad with bean and sweet potatoes, sometimes I have noodles, and sometimes I make a nice complete dinner with my SO (that usually includes beer as well)!
I also drink more tea throughout the day and after every meal, and sometimes snack on carrots and fruit (in the winter, it is mainly apples)
Eastern Europeans have one of the unhealthiest diets of tons of carbs. I'm half Ukrainian and half Polish Jew, had to move away from the horrible diet I was raised around and switch to keto. Lost all unwanted body fat and got a six pack.
Right now I'm stuck in quarantine and when I discovered your channel, I started binge watching your videos
Your videos are quite relaxing and it's to watch them during the evenings!
I kinda want to try out matcha, but I don't think they sell it at my country
Regarding raw eggs in a smoothie - Our chemistry teacher told us that aeration of eggs causes them to undergo a structural change just like cooking.
I love how healthy and simple this routine is!!
I only discover your channel today but you just radiate simple goodness as a human being. I feel more calm and at peace watching your minimalistic lifestyle but doing everything to the best of your ability. You are inspiring. Thank you
Your dinner looks amazing! A fish grill built in to your oven? how cool! Is that a common japanese accessory? I can't say I have ever seen one here on the U.S. west coast.
I highly reccomend cast iron cooking. Slightly more difficult but much more delicious. Similar to the clay rice pot it is an excellent tradeoff and unlike teflon it is also gauranteed to last a lifetime with care.
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with us, I find it to be poetic and powerful in its simplicity, and I love that you surround yourself with meaning rather than matter.
They're quite common at least in Japanese and Korean households where full ovens are very rare due to lack of space
Thank you for your great comment!!
I used a Baking tray with a little bit of water, and on top of it the grill tray then fish to resemble that. Than Put it in the Higher Region of the oven and use the left over space for cooking your Side dishes.
I recently started cooking with a cast iron skillet and love it. The trick is to use it a lot. Clean with hot water while the pan is hot. Heat it before adding oil or cooking. I use it for everyday cooking except for tomato or other acidic foods like sauerkraut. Teflon bad for health and environment.
I absolutely love your videos. Very simple and incredible at the same time. Thank you for sharing your world with us. 🎉
Thank you so much for the mason jar version of how to make matcha! It'll make adding matcha to my life so much easier!
Thank you for finally showing us how to prepare the Matcha tea 🍵 I was waiting for this from so long! I love the aesthetic feel your videos have! I always get insights from your videos! Keep up the great work Aki-san! 👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah!Thank you!!
Creo que el respeto de los Japoneses hacia si mismos y la gratitud por lo que tienen es digno de imitar 💕💕
Loved seeing how you live and eat for a day! Thank you for sharing it with us.
I truly love learning about the diet and matcha. So beautiful to be able to learn your healthy rituals. Thank you
Wow I've never seen that detailed recipe for Matcha tea before! Just love it! Also your videos make me feel relaxed and calm! Thanks for making these awesome videos! Hope you're doing great! 😃
Thank you ;-)
I love this video. My breakfast is usually smoothie and tea same as you, just different kinds! My smoothie has banana, strawberry, mango, and some healthy supplements and seeds, blended with orange juice. That’s my favourite right now, but I switch it up a lot. I usually have black tea with oat milk, but I do enjoy matcha some days. Black tea is just quicker.
I love watching you and your lifestyle, I find it very calming.
I love learning about Japanese culture. Thank you so much for providing the knowledge and entertainment! 🇯🇵🇺🇸
It´s so different, in Argentina we drink mate which has its own "ceremony" were you prepare and depending how you serve it it reveals your felling to the other person. If it´s cold it means you want them to go away, if it´s too sweet it means you loves them and if you give them the first one it means you are not a good friend. You should read about it
Interesting!! Thank you for telling me!
@@SamuraiMatcha You are welcome, keep on with the amazing content!!!
Mate! Or the classical Chimarrão as known in the Brazilian side. Have a good one hermano! (Pelé>Maradona btw)
I hope someday I will be able to experience living a minimalist lifestyle like yours.
Less stress, simple and fun life.
😊👍
I thuroughly enjoyed watching your vlog. Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments with you.
Good day☺ I discovered your video only today and am so happy to have done so. Thank you for your care and consideration in producing this; it simple and straight from the heart. I have enjoyed it very much and I hope you are continuing to be well and enjoying your minimalist life.
Nice video as always. Everyday food doesn't need to be fancy. Mine certainly isn't... It could be raw oat meal with milk for breakfast, and rye bread for lunch. That's also not very fancy.
In Denmark most people think of sushi when they think of Japanese food.
But recently we tried to cook a Vegetarian Ramen, and it was absolutely delicious. The only problem if you want to try to make Japanese food is getting hold of some of the more special ingredients.
😄🙌Vegetarian Ramen sounds awasome!
yeah some things are def harder to find to make more traditonal stuff. i really wanna try natto but i cant find it anywhrere
@@Hi-bd9vb you could try to find natto with the frozen foods section in an Asian supermarket.
@@louiseroxanne7005 oo ill try that! the asian markets around me arent always super stocked though
Cannot overstate the usefulness of even a decent enameled cast iron dutch oven. They are incredible for searing, slow simmering, and even good for deep-fat frying. You can even bake in them! Staub and Le Creuset are considered among the best, but the prices are prohibitive. In the US, a 4.5 to 6 quart dutch oven made by a reputable, but less expensive manufacturer (Lodge) will cost about 70-80 USD or about 8100-9300 Yen. If you can find something available in that price range or less it would probably be a decent deal.
あきさん thank you for making videos. I love watching!
Calmness built into everything
Normalmente pela manhã aqui no Brasil é muito tradicional comer pão com manteiga e café com leite (aqui costumamos chamar de pingado).
Usually in the morning here in Brazil it is very traditional to eat bread with butter and coffee with milk (here we usually call it pingado).
Thank you for making such interesting videos. I recently found your channel and I am enjoying your videos very much. I live in the US and also eat simply. I eat plants and would be interested in future videos that focus on: what kind of produce is grown/eaten in Japan, if there is a farmer's market and what it looks like, how fruits/vegetables are prepared in Japan, etc. I appreciate your work and efforts in sharing Japanese culture and minimalism.
😄👍
I'll make that kind of video!!
Your life is awesome. Thank you for making this. You did inspire me.
Fascinating! I thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts on Japanese culture. Your life is very beautiful.
Loved this video! I have to try the udon recipe now! And I love the mason jar matcha mixing method. I really like having my matcha in the morning but sometimes I have to get to work quickly on a moment's notice. If I can shake it up on my way to the car, that's a game changer.
Thank you so much!!!
Great video again! Only recently I realized how much more enjoyable my diet has become since I more often embrace minimalism when it comes to food. Many times I enjoy simple dishes over the elaborate creations that keep me in the kitchen longer. It is nice to actually taste the individual components instead of having a dish crammed with ingrediences. Gives you more intentionality when buying groceries as well, because this way you realize more directly when something you purchase is of bad quality.
Thanks for the insight into your routine!
いただきます!
🙌
I totally agree! For me, the simplicity is also in not having to make side dishes out of habit. For example I used to eat a salad for appetizer, then rice and beans for dinner but this week had salad one meal, and just the garbanzos a different meal. Sometimes it’s nice to make all the components but sometimes it’s nice to just eat simply :)
Love how detailed and well researched video this is ❤
Such a great video. First of all, your English is very fluent. Your way of life is so inspiring. I used to be an interpreter in a steel making cooperation. Since mid of 2017 I quit my job and I have been planting trees to make my own Tiny Forest. I also plant fruits and vegetables. I have 4 chickens so I can have fresh eggs everyday. I also have a pond where I put thousand of various kinds of baby fish in. Now they have grown big enough for cooking. You can imagine how I live my life. The only one problem is that I am not a good cook and I still have so many things to do in my garden.
After watching your videos, I am thinking of trying my best to live a healthy life like you. Thank you so much for taking time to make such an inspiring video. ขอบพระคุณค่ะ
hello! this is a lovely relaxing video. i used to work in a tea shop where i learned about matcha for the first time. i've loved it since then though have never prepared it at home. also love this way of preparing rice in the ceramic pot! i want to do this instead od using the rice cooker. also one of my favorite meals is rice with a bowl of miso soup. it makes me so happy 🙂 thank you for sharing your day with us.
All peasonne stand who in good lunch i fest matsha tae very importante naturaly tks.
Just as i needed another video! Currently my favorite breakfast food is johny cakes. They are pancakes but with cornmeal. All it is is cornmeal, egg, water, and i love to drizzle honey or peanut butter (only ingredient being peanuts) Great video!
Thank you😄👍
I think your food is the the purest food I ever seen. And no wonder you start your day at 5am, takes time to eat like you. Awesome channel!
Such an inspiring video. Thank you for sharing your unique lifestyle with me
Always keep tradition strong. Never lose ones simple value that many followed to build a wonderful civilization. It’s discipline for you, respect for yourself ancestors and a connection to them, and a deep appreciation for a way of life
I love Japanese food!It seems so healthy and is fit for people who live alone.
You don't have to be single to change your nutrition or eat different from other family members, dear. What lame excuse is that? I'm married and have a teen kid. As if I'd let my husband or son dictate what I PUT in MY mouth. It's only MY business, and I'm not even working (due to disability). I make my needs communicated and will not take no for an answer. It's my body, my health and my decision. My husband was born in North America and eats complete garbage! No way I'd eat that, ever! Yes, you're the only person controlling what you eat. Nobody else.
Thank you for this amazing video ! It's very simple but soooo great to watch ! It's a good change from fancy videos where people need tons of ingredients ! Thanks again, it made me so happy !
I love your videos, simple, clean and educational
Thanks for the video! I've been making more and more rice for breakfast and lunch. I add a raw egg into the piping hot rice, mix it with chopsticks, and then microwave it for 30-45 seconds just to be safe. Then I add Furikake (usually the salmon nori flavor) and some gochujang paste (or miso). Sriracha is also a good topping as well.
I need to get back in habit of making smoothies every morning. My wife and daughter love em! (Apple, banana, orange, oats, spinach, milk, and some vanilla whey (for protein)).
😄👍 Furikake！
Как всегда прекрасное видео! Еда, хоть и простая, но очень аппетитная, спасибо за подробный и наглядный видеоотчёт! Успехов Вам Аки!
P.S. У нас тоже много снега, надо сделать иглу!)))
Спасибо, что всегда смотрите
@@dxsperada I bet he knows every language that a translator also knows.
i love simple food as well. great tips. truly appreciate it
Thank you for sharing this. I find what you eat and drink actually very cool!
I am an American Japanese. I think your breakfast is VERY COOL. I grew up eating the typical American breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast & milk. It was once the recommended diet for healthy eating years ago in the U.S. That has idea has changed as bacon is not really healthy at all & is really bad for people with high cholesterol like me. As an adult I have changed my way of eating. I believe your diet is much healthier & is a real inspiration to me. I love your videos. Thank you! ❤️☺️🌺
Thank you so much!!
No surprise the "American" diet is called SAD. It makes people obese before killing them.
This was so interesting and relaxing to watch
I live in America and I had advocado toast for breakfast, vegetarian hot dog with coleslaw for lunch and I had a cashew cheese pasta dish for dinner.
Advocado toast sounds awesome, but in Japan they are so expensive...
What a beautiful day!
Again, I feel inspired. Thank you.
You taste the food with your eyes first. The simple meals and the presentation are beautiful. One thing I noticed is that when you first get up you sweep your room. It looks spotless before you weep it. Can you comment on why this ritual is important share the meaning of this activity?
