I can say with confidence, that things the content we have all been salivating for. 😋 I will probably watch this every morning this week while I prepare my own breakfast. DITL videos are the BEST!
This has been refreshing and its wholesome. After what feels like a long week of getting pelted and not feeling like I’m doing anything right. I just feel super happy to seeing you do some awesome breakfast food. Will be trying some next week. As my week is gonna began by stressful conflict at work. Wish me luck.
You're right Martina, sesame oil should totally be included in the taste pyramid, nothing else is like it. Just one drop and it completely transforms the dish.
it indeed makes it instantly bitter and less appetizing for me %-) . sesame in all it's forms is an spikey kind of bitter, i must be genetically burdened as not many people know what i mean with it. i generally taste more bitters then others. (i'm also on the side of tasting soap in coriander) despite my tasting, i love tasting new things and combinations. i have tasted a whole range of things with sesame in it, they were all bitter in a disappointing way and i still haven't managed to appreciate it, like i have for coffee, brocolli, brussel sprouts, beer, and many many vegetables,...
Hi Martina, I've been watching your videos since 2009 when you taught me a ton about Korea so I was confident when I travelled there myself in the past. I'm also a pretty frequent traveller to Japan so I enjoyed your videos about both. Because of covid I couldn't travel anymore so I really miss Japan a lot i was able to spend a lot of time there in the past and watching your videos makes me miss it even more LOL, You're really good at showing the small charms of Japan which is what I like about it as well. I hope your health is doing okay. Love the videos and can't wait for more :)
How cool is that! I wonder if it's available in the US.... Hmmm.... I'll have to look. Even though I don't need another tamagoyaki pan, Martina's looks amazing.
I love the way you instantly create a fun, comfortable and judgement free space when you're cooking, exploring, or sharing things you've seen or found. Your videos have given me so much confidence over the years, and most recently, through the chill atmosphere you create with King Kogi, I've been putting your videos on my phone in the kitchen and using them to motivate myself to clean up, or prepare simple meals - something that has always been a struggle for me. thank you!
I've seen so many people make this spinach side dish and every single one of them they put ice cubes in the chill out water and use some sort of fancy cheese cloth to squeeze out the water from the cooked spinach. Who has time for that??? Thank you Martina for keeping it super easy for us
Martina, I share your love and passion for the store that starts with “D” and ends with “aiso”! Those kitchen gadgets are amazingly useful (and so cute)! If I ever get to visit Japan, I’ll need all three of those (rice drain guard, sugar de-clumper, and onion drain container). This video was a dose of relatability when it comes to “English-ing” in the morning (I just can’t do it). And I jive with your humour so much! Arnold’s “just chill” and your description of the umeboshi really got me hahaha. Thanks for the awesome video; the food is drool-worthy!
As a huge sesame fan (my favorite ice cream is black sesame ice cream) I fully support adding it to the list of tastes. It has that nutty aspect but there's a roasty element too, almost like coffee.
I actually went to my local asian grocers and saw that they had a variety of miso pastes! Never noticed it before, so I grabbed a similar coloured one to yours and can't wait to make miso soup and try that spinach and miso sauce! Loved the video
You probably don't read comments anymore, but I've watched EYK for years and years, and had a long break to come back and find this new journey. I love it for you. Also, 2 weeks ago I started learning Japanese, so when you put the words on screen and I can recognize at least some of the Hiragana, I get so excited. Thank you!
Of course I still read comments you silly duck 😊 The whole point of making videos is for the community, so thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I enjoy reading them. I’m so happy you’ve found me again! I’m off on a new life journey (well, it’s been a few years now so it’s a different kind of journey) but I’m doing well. Hope you’ll subscribe and “hit that bell” haha as the TH-camrs say now and days 💕
I really love how you explain flavours, textures and the overall experience of eating the different dishes and ingredients. You do it in a super kind and non-condescending way. I know all these dishes and always took it for granted- but you don’t and by that you’re making it accessible to a lot of viewers who might not know it and/or are maybe worried about trying it.
I just made some toast and eggs for breakfast. :3 Now I get to enjoy my orange juice and let my food start digesting while enjoying a long video, thank you Martina!
I'm in America and I've never seen spinach with the root attached, even in our Asian markets. Seems very handy. I have a garden, so I might try growing some spinach this fall just for this purpose.
Breakfast: Maximum Efffort Edition! Everything looks delicious and I loved the longer video. How about a video showing more cool kitchen items? What am I missing out on?! I NEED to know!
@@KingKogi I’m genuinely surprised for a reply! Appreciate it a lot tho! I’ve been a fan of yours for close to 10 years! I wish you nothing but the best and hopefully more cooking videos 😁😁😁
I’m so happy to have you in my internet life, Martina. I have thought of you as a loving older sister and I’ve said this before but idk how you always post when I’m on the brink of a breakdown, brightening my mood like the sun coming out on a stormy day ⛅️ ☀️ 🌺🌷💐
Martina: I don’t want to embarrass myself by making bad Tamagoyaki Also Martina: *proceeds to make the cutest fluffiest Tamagoyaki I’ve only ever seen in anime like Gourmet Girl Graffiti* 🍳 Me, who doesn’t even like eating eggs that much: 👁 👄 👁✨✨ I might actually make this now
Hi Wizard of Quesadilla~ thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment! Welcome to the community, and to the King Kogi Airship. Hope to see you around the comment section again ✨
i wanna thank you martina! That sesame miso dressing you used on your spinach was the damn dressing i've been looking for!! there's a kbbq place down my street that made the only broccoli i'll ever eat but could never figure out what the sauce they used on it was. now i don't have to go to an expensive dinner just for when i'm fixing for good broccoli :D
That moment when Martins posts a new video but I have to hold off to watch it when I’m fully ready to enjoy and savor the video after waiting FULLY knowing I’m going to end up watching it now and then rewatching it on loop until there’s a new upload love your channel and your videos !! ❤️
You’re loved Martina. Keep being you and we’ll support you. You’re such a strong woman with such a quirky personality that’s captivating when you help us live vicariously through you. Keep up the hard work girlie!
Im so excited to watch a long King Kogi vid! I’m so proud of Martina, she really has created such a wholesome and wonderful relationship with her community!
I come back to this video every now and then cuz I like having you around cooking your breakfast in the background 😂🥰 you remind me so much of one of my best friends who lives far from me so it feels wholesome on levels 🥰
I just realized I have a deep need for a sticker (or some kind of merch) of King Kogi building a ladder @0:28. That image is so cute and motivational, I’d buy like 10 stickers to put up all around the house! Please make that happen someday Martina!!!
That is the cutest lil tofu block! I have a friend who didn’t realize miso was a paste, not the soup, was warmed it up & drank from the container. Oops. Took her too long to be able to be near it. Your tamagoyaki looks good to me. Those pans are also amazing for grilled cheese sandwiches if you have wider bread. I had to buy a new pan once children found out as they had too hot.
I’ve been struggling with my depression a lot more so recently and your videos truly help ground me and bring me back to a better headspace. Please never stop making videos, they are truly are my safe space.❤️
"If you dont make time for your body to rest, your body will set that time for you." And boy that happened to me today, but it was actually a lucky break, i finally had some time to watch all your videos i missed and I love them!! This is the fantastic fun chill video i have been missing in my life
love that i stumbled upon you and this video! i feel like we're actually hanging out in your kitchen together :) and i cannot wait to try these recipes oh lordy.
I saw this video from Vox about how most north americans eat dessert for breakfast and the narrator decided he wanted to have healthy breakfast and I remember he used one or two japanese breakfast sides and they looked so tasty I wanted to try myself. Your video came right on time as just today I ventured with miso paste and miso ramen for breakfast. Thank you!!
Yes!!! Isn’t it amazing? Honestly it isn’t a super common kitchen item in Japan or anything, I sent a few of them to my Japanese friends and they were like WHAAAAAAAT!? 😂
@@KingKogi I fully expected to see them lying around in Daiso but nope 🤷 Sometimes that store is a bigger motivation to get back to Japan than all the rest. 🙈
@@KingKogi May I ask where you found yours ? My brother will be going back to Japan soon, and he never saw those too, so I asked him to investigate and send me one if he found some 😂
Please do more cooking videos, love your munchies series !!! Your videos has inspired me to cook more korean and japanese dishes and love how you teach us your recipes :)
Had an almost identical breakfast this morning. I did two tamagoyaki, one was beautiful the other not so much. It was fun to watch this while eating my breakfast.☺️
I love seeing you cooking, for all the reasons people have said before, but especially because of all the amazing little gadgets and things I didn't know existed. That sugar spoon is amazing. Also the idea of doing something to get you through the rough parts of waking up is something I love, because I have a lot of morning brain fog to get through and I like to do soothing things to gently coax that away.
I just got up and waking up is rough on my body. This video is perfect to watch while I wait for my body to get with the program. I love Martina's cooking videos.
I'm so glad you're doing more cooking videos! I really love your videos, they are such a joy to watch. I've been viewing for such a long time, and I love the relaxed yet upbeat vibe at King Kogi that really shows the magic and joy in daily life. I've really taken your philosophy of looking for daily adventures and treating what's around you as magic and special to heart. Thanks for continuing to make videos and sharing your light with all of us
Was having a really bad pain day or well days lately and so seeing you pop on my feed made me so happy I was able to enjoy you and drool over your food for a bit instead of stressing and the other.
18:16 i store pre chopped green onion with open so it does get soggy even though it dries out after a week. Then it becomes the dry form but can still be used in soup.
I love everything about this video - watching you happily chat away is the best thing ever. It's like being at a friends house. Thank you! I learned a lot!
Welcome to King Kogi, Martina here~ 👩🏻🦳✨ so happy you stumbled upon this video, and thanks for the lovely comment. I hope to see you around in the comment section again.
Hi, Martina! There’s no vinegar in umeboshi. They are naturally sour. It’s a long process to pickle them, but it’s usually only the plums and salt. Sometimes honey, shiso or katsuo flakes.
I find the video so unexpectedly relaxing & comforting, even more so than those asmr silent cooking. Martina, thanks for all the effort you’ve put in to creating & sharing your little haven with us 💕
OMG, this is a fantastic beginners video on how to use/cook key Japanese ingredients. Just FFFF-ING bloody fantastic. Great job 👍 Martina, informative, fun, funny, n looks delicious!! Love u much my dear.....many MUCH. Hahahaha 🤣🤣😂🤣
Oh wow Martina this meal looks amazing. When I was a child and dad was in the Australian Army, we got posted to Malaya (that’s what it was called in the 1960’s). I spent most of my days with our housekeeper who was Chinese and she cooked her meals in her living space. I would eat my meals with her because they appealed more to me. Since then I have tried and loved many Asian cuisines and Japanese and Chinese are my all time favourites. I love all the salty, savoury flavours the most and often eat Japanese for breakfast. Although I’ll eat it anytime lol. Since Covid, ingredients are hard to order online now and that’s the only way for me to get them as we live in a small country village 567 people lol. I cannot wait for it all to come back online cause I’m feeling like my tastebuds are screaming out for goodness lol. I’m thrilled to see you living life in Japan again Martina. Michelle
Love Daiso! I use their microwavable containers to make instant ramen, cook spaghetti--no pot needed. FYI my Costco sells jars of anko spread with butter. It's wonderful on toast, ice cream or just straight out of the jar lol!
I just woke up and starting to make strawberry green tea, and heard Martina reference "Batman & Robin" with Arnie as Mr. Freeze and nearly spewed my tea. LOL. Thanks Martina, I am not morning person either, but your video helped with that today.
GURL You Embrace the Morning More than I do. Making Coffee is my Supreme Effort after a couple of cups and an hour or more, I can finally get up and start my day. Usually in front of the screen watching Youtey. Bigg Huggs !! Doing is a Rung On The Ladder, it doesn't matter what, Just DO. There One Rung Up. !!
This whole video gives me joy. I love your style, your cooking, your editing, your personality. I feel so happy and inspired watching. I will have to get that rice catcher contraption!!
Martina - causing pain and suffering to me by showcasing delicious food that I cannot eat since 2009. This seriously looks so delicious, I want it sooooo baaaaaaaad!
i ABSOLUTELY have to try that spinach dish! i have been branching out to a lot of different veggie dishes and as soon as you started making that side dish i just felt the craving grow lmao! will need to keep that in mind the next time i have hot pot, would be nice to have that with rice while waiting on other things to cook
I cant eat and ramen without some sesame oil. It literally makes any ramen taste 1000% better. I also have an insane spice tolerance so i always add chili oil into my ramen to make it spicy.
You inspire me so much💕! I have a very hard time with breakfast, but hope that when I'm done with my re-decorating my apartment, it will be more fun to cook and do stuff at home instead of just living.
Tuck in for a long video 👩🏻🦳💕 and I hope this encourages you to try some Japanese cooking
I can say with confidence, that things the content we have all been salivating for. 😋 I will probably watch this every morning this week while I prepare my own breakfast. DITL videos are the BEST!
I've been relying on the conbini microwave food packs for a while, this makes me want to start cooking again esp with the fresh spring veggies!!
This has been refreshing and its wholesome. After what feels like a long week of getting pelted and not feeling like I’m doing anything right. I just feel super happy to seeing you do some awesome breakfast food. Will be trying some next week. As my week is gonna began by stressful conflict at work. Wish me luck.
Loved it!
You're right Martina, sesame oil should totally be included in the taste pyramid, nothing else is like it. Just one drop and it completely transforms the dish.
I cant live without it. Its a staple in my asian cooking like garlic.
it indeed makes it instantly bitter and less appetizing for me %-) . sesame in all it's forms is an spikey kind of bitter, i must be genetically burdened as not many people know what i mean with it. i generally taste more bitters then others. (i'm also on the side of tasting soap in coriander) despite my tasting, i love tasting new things and combinations. i have tasted a whole range of things with sesame in it, they were all bitter in a disappointing way and i still haven't managed to appreciate it, like i have for coffee, brocolli, brussel sprouts, beer, and many many vegetables,...
Omg I see you on drag race videos and other stuff too lol - nice to see you here
Bruh, I'm obsessed with it.
I'm an absolute whore for sesame oil. It can rescue so many dishes.
I love seeing people in their element and it feels like yours is cooking 🍳❤️☺️

Thanks for such a lovely, detailed comment. I’m sure Japan will open up and it will be even more special to visit ❤️
I am fascinated by the kitchen gadgets designed specifically for Japanese cooking and storing of food items.
Same! I come for the Daiso gear. 😆
Fun fact: the pan you used for the eggs says "Lycka" which means happiness in swedish 😁
That's so awesome!! So accurate! 😄
How cool is that! I wonder if it's available in the US.... Hmmm.... I'll have to look. Even though I don't need another tamagoyaki pan, Martina's looks amazing.
Must've gotten it from ikea then!

Thank you for reminding this old rusty brain 😂 I felt like I didn’t recall seeing roots
It still works with unrooted leaves too, it just means they’ll be more floaty and you may have to squeeze more water out of then

Its my fave way to make eggs. If you add a dash of soy sauce to the beaten egg its oh my god. Something about the layers make it taste so good.
Hey, the 'Lycka' on your egg roll pan translates to Happiness in Swedish, so you have an egg pan for eggy happiness! Rejoice!

I love everything about this video - watching you happily chat away is the best thing ever. It's like being at a friends house. Thank you! I learned a lot!
Omg that's so smart to measure out the water with the bowls you're going to use! I always measure out either too much or not enough
Right? I always do too much or too little and finally I was like FERK IT. I did the same with the Royal Milk tea recipe too
Yes! My mind is blown! 🤯

Hi, Martina!
There’s no vinegar in umeboshi. They are naturally sour.
It’s a long process to pickle them, but it’s usually only the plums and salt. Sometimes honey, shiso or katsuo flakes.
It’s so good to see you back where you love being and doing the things you love. Cheering you on 🥰
I have a bowl specifically for washing my rice (from Japan, so it is meant for this) but I would love getting that clip on strainer instead!
that natto hack was genious!

You are so cool 😎 that was exactly what I was thinking too
I did the same thing! Long live The Count! 😁
OMG, this is a fantastic beginners video on how to use/cook key Japanese ingredients. Just FFFF-ING bloody fantastic. Great job 👍 Martina, informative, fun, funny, n looks delicious!! Love u much my dear.....many MUCH. Hahahaha 🤣🤣😂🤣
Thanks for going through the effort to show us how you make breakfast!
Honestly this is the content I’ve missed from you the most! Thank you for sharing!
I just want you to know that anytime I'm in the need for some comfort videos, I watch your cooking videos. You make me feel so welcome and happy 🫰🏼💜
I got Covid again this week and your videos have brought me back to life. Thank you Martina.
If you don't have dashi broth, you can just sprinkle in powdered dashi or katsuobushi with more soy sauce to achieve the same flavor.
Oh wow Martina this meal looks amazing. When I was a child and dad was in the Australian Army, we got posted to Malaya (that’s what it was called in the 1960’s). I spent most of my days with our housekeeper who was Chinese and she cooked her meals in her living space. I would eat my meals with her because they appealed more to me. Since then I have tried and loved many Asian cuisines and Japanese and Chinese are my all time favourites. I love all the salty, savoury flavours the most and often eat Japanese for breakfast. Although I’ll eat it anytime lol. Since Covid, ingredients are hard to order online now and that’s the only way for me to get them as we live in a small country village 567 people lol. I cannot wait for it all to come back online cause I’m feeling like my tastebuds are screaming out for goodness lol. I’m thrilled to see you living life in Japan again Martina. Michelle
I loved that videoooo
It was so nice and cosy but very smooth and interesting
Just great !
Oh wow, I need that rice cooker strainer thing, that is amazing!
i dont know why but the ducking cracks me up, and i just brought the water rice strainer ,,,you are a chef!
I'll def give the spinach a try! Been searching for different spinach dish recipes and this one looks amazing! Thank you, Martina❤️
8 minutes into the video and I already want to fly all the way over to japan just to go shopping at daiso
I know right!! It seems like a magical place 😆
If you live in the US they may actually have one in your area! There's a few located in the states
Your kitchen omg the plants make me so happy.
"yeah, maybe" 😂😂 Also love the sailor moon buns!
Love Daiso! I use their microwavable containers to make instant ramen, cook spaghetti--no pot needed. FYI my Costco sells jars of anko spread with butter. It's wonderful on toast, ice cream or just straight out of the jar lol!
Watching you enjoy cooking makes me happy! I’m a terrible cook and do not enjoy it so seeing you have fun is awesome. 🍳
I just woke up and starting to make strawberry green tea, and heard Martina reference "Batman & Robin" with Arnie as Mr. Freeze and nearly spewed my tea. LOL. Thanks Martina, I am not morning person either, but your video helped with that today.
GURL You Embrace the Morning More than I do. Making Coffee is my Supreme Effort after a couple of cups and an hour or more, I can finally get up and start my day. Usually in front of the screen watching Youtey. Bigg Huggs !! Doing is a Rung On The Ladder, it doesn't matter what, Just DO. There One Rung Up. !!
I really love these long form videos. Sometimes I just need something to listen to in the background
This whole video gives me joy. I love your style, your cooking, your editing, your personality. I feel so happy and inspired watching. I will have to get that rice catcher contraption!!
Martina - causing pain and suffering to me by showcasing delicious food that I cannot eat since 2009.
This seriously looks so delicious, I want it sooooo baaaaaaaad!
i ABSOLUTELY have to try that spinach dish! i have been branching out to a lot of different veggie dishes and as soon as you started making that side dish i just felt the craving grow lmao! will need to keep that in mind the next time i have hot pot, would be nice to have that with rice while waiting on other things to cook
ur honestly such a comfort watch for me !! im not even all that into food but ur content rly relieves my anxiety :3
I cant eat and ramen without some sesame oil. It literally makes any ramen taste 1000% better. I also have an insane spice tolerance so i always add chili oil into my ramen to make it spicy.
I would totally watch your cooking show...oh wait, I am!! This was great!
I've been sick with covid for the last five days and this really put a smile on my face. 😊
You inspire me so much💕!
I have a very hard time with breakfast, but hope that when I'm done with my re-decorating my apartment, it will be more fun to cook and do stuff at home instead of just living.
I tried the spinach in miso sauce for breakfast!!! Delicious!!! A new favorite to eat with my rice! Thank you for the recipe!!!
