[@emil7916]

I would love to see more vegan japanese recipes. These look so delicious❤️

[@valentiinasvideos]

Em Il yess please

[@lisa.kitahara]

WHEN UR GRANDMA HAS SUCH GOOD ENGLISH AND JAPANESE omg she’s so cute and hahaa I called my grandma baba 😂 that Japanese market thooooooo we legit need to go on a picnic ok with bento 🙈 this was so fun luv u ❤️

[@Veggiekins]

Lisa Kitahara I love you!!!!!!! Picnic one day!!!!

[@verdantis9960]

That Japanese market looks amazing! I wish we had something like that in the UK, other than in London.

[@himalayansalt32]

Baba is a short form of "babushka"! Oba-chan=babushka in Russia "Baba" is a colloquial term for a peasant woman! Japanese and Russian are so similar sometimes

[@marystestkitchen]

This is so adorable

[@Veggiekins]

Thanks Mary! ♡ Definitely felt like comfort food :)

[@nikoriko00]

This video makes me smile. I'm part japanese as well. My grandma passed away a little over a year ago and I miss cooking with her. Could never get her to make vegan food lol but I still miss it ❤️

[@Veggiekins]

Aw Niki, so sorry

[@natalie-sp6ib]

You should do vegan bento box ideas

[@Veggiekins]

Love that!!

[@Tofubraut]

@@Veggiekins Yes please!! 😍🌱❤

[@misa8905]

I love making onigiri with my grandma, too :) And I also have a nickname for my grandma, I call her baba-nee, lol! It doesn’t make sense i know but i’m actuallt half turkish/half japanese and grandma is called “nenee” in turkish so I did a mash-up of both terms as a kid :D multilingual fellas can relate, right?

[@Veggiekins]

That's so cute!!!! I totally relate haha. A friend of mine is part turkish and part japanese too!!

[@CarolynMarie1017]

Such a special video 💗 a couple christmases ago, my grandma (I call her me-me) made vegan versions of all her desserts! Buffalo cookies, Martha Washington balls (chocolate, coconut, and amazing! She even made her own condensed coconut milk), brownies! I was so happy to have all those nostalgic treats again! Since then she's even made vegan homemade buttermilk biscuits, Lima beans, mashed potatoes, all of her southern classics(we're in alabama)! I hope I can actually get in the kitchen and cook with her soon!

[@Veggiekins]

Reading this made me so happy! I imagined it in my head :') I'm so glad that my grandma came around and was open to cooking a few simple vegan things together. ♡

[@philipparm9700]

All of this looks so good! And your grandma is the cutest haha

[@Veggiekins]

Aww :) She's the bestt hehehe ♡

[@julienotactually]

this is SO wholesome

[@Veggiekins]

♡ hehe

[@jessikalyngarcia1]

I love this video. My mom used to pack onigiri for me when I would go on field trips and needed home lunch. Now that I’m married, I like sharing what I know about making onigiri (or Japanese food in general) with my Mexican husband.

[@Veggiekins]

Aww!! That is so sweet. Onigiri is so nostalgic for me (all japanese food really). So beautiful you can share your culture with him.

[@charlottestmn]

I am American but I love Japanese cuisine!!! I force my mom to shop at the international store in our area, this is just wonderful! I will be trying all of these out now. Thank you !!!

[@Veggiekins]

That's awesome Charlotte!!! :-) Hope you enjoy

[@Victoria-hs5bm]

This was so amazing!! Japanese food is my absolute favorite and i've been scouring the internet for vegan recipes. I'd LOVE to see more of these from you! Also, you're so pretty. lol

[@Veggiekins]

Aww thanks so much Victoria!! I just posted a ramen recipe on my blog if you're craving something Japanese! ♡

[@valeriavillacorta187]

Love this !!! I’m half Japanese too and sometimes I have a hard time finding vegan options , your videos are so helpful , thank u !💕

[@Veggiekins]

Aww so cool ! 👯‍♀️ the hardest part is all that dashi they use right 🤣

[@valeriavillacorta187]

Veggiekins hahaha yes , and also that aunt in family reunions that doesn’t think u can make delicious Japanese vegan dishes , but now I’m gonna show her this video to prove her she was wrong 🤣❤️

[@BeeBeeMacGee]

I really like your healthy recipes, but this one was my favorite. I love learning recipes from other countries ever since I began going to ethnic restaurants with my friend. I know More Korean recipes, but I have to travel over an hour to find certain ingredients in an Asian market up north.

[@Veggiekins]

My_Butt ohh I’m so glad you enjoyed! I’d be happy to share more in the future 😌💗

[@malna-malna]

I'm a little in love with your Grandma! ❤️

[@bunnyblue3082]

This looks so fantastic! I have to try all the recipes!

[@Veggiekins]

Enjoy!!

[@laurentaylor3515]

I’m so glad that I found this video! I’ve been trying to learn how to cook some new stuff and have been looking for some vegan Japanese recipes!☺️☺️

[@Veggiekins]

Awesome!! Hope you enjoy. Will be sharing another Japanese video soon

[@eddie9420]

I really want to try that lotus root dish. I never liked it that much but I'm always willing to try it again. I need more of a variety of food in my diet. 😅😅

[@Veggiekins]

Yes it's soo delish! And also beautiful in shape :)

Hey Remi, I am Brazilian and I am transitioning to be vegan and found your channel looking for some vegan Japanese recipes. Really liked the type of video and the whole content, thanks for sharing this amazing recipe and keep doing ya thing. You've got one more subscriber, your videos are crossing borders. Also regards to your kindly Obachan! Cheers!

[@Veggiekins]

Hi Joao! I just saw this comment now--so sorry! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have heard there's a big Japanese community in Brazil, right? Always wanted to visit! ♡☺️

[@elshoao]

@@Veggiekins Yes! The Liberdade neighborhood, located on the outskirts of downtown São Paulo, is the place in the world where there is the largest concentration of Japanese and their descendants outside their native country

[@winterbird471]

This is an amazing video !!! thank you for sharing it with us ^-^

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you for watching it!

[@DarkRoseCharm88]

Oh wow look amazing I wanna try it myself I am vegan, started it like last year April so almost a year! Yay! So I am always looking for different recipe for my family and myself and can’t wait to see all you video and try out a lot of vegan recipes take care much luv

[@catmomzoe]

Such a cute video! I'd love to try these recipes, I love lotus root but I've never made it at home!

[@Veggiekins]

It's super simple! (as you saw) :) Definitely don't be afraid to try it out! ♡

Glad you liked it!

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

I've been living in Japan for 3 years and this video gave me LIFE!! Kawaii desu ne! I hope to find a great Japanese store like this when I move back to the US :)

[@Veggiekins]

Aww so amazing! Havent been able to go back for a while due to covid but hope to soon ♥️

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

@@Veggiekins me too!! What part is your family from?

[@kai_86929]

Hi I’m Japanese, I love mitsua it is an amazing store. My friends were shook when I took them there for the first time!

[@Veggiekins]

Hi!! Omg yeah I love bringing friends there, it's like a whole new world to them hahahhaha

[@wagetarian6671]

great to see japanese vegan recipe in KZbin, arigato!

[@mimilovesfood123]

Just simple yet super delicious and delicate food :)

[@Veggiekins]

Thank u!!!

[@martycosplay]

That's such a cute video! Makes me wanna cook something with my grandma too! Also in Czech, we call grandma 'babi' which is pronounced the same as you pronounce bobby! And also, what rice:water ratio do you use for your rice? I'm never sure even though I have a rice cooker...

[@Veggiekins]

Oh that's so cool!!! I love that so much. I've also heard that there's a similar Jewish word for grandma that also sounds like bobby. For the rice/water, I would refer to the instructions your rice cooker provides, or the bag of rice you use :) Sometimes it varies a little

[@Beans0934]

Your bobby reminds me of my nana. I love you both!

[@DarkLadyPhoenix]

Ah! I love how I recognized what store you were at when the camera went in the door! I'm like, "I know where that is!" Yaaayyy! Time for Shichimi togarashi!

[@Veggiekins]

Haha aw love that!! Shichimi togarashi on EVERYTHING! 💕

[@atsukorichards1675]

Nice! I myself always find the Annko of any kind too sweet, too. But it might be the fact that Annko is to be served only a small potion at a time, not like a big piece of cake. So your bowls of Zennzai are perfectly potioned.

[@Veggiekins]

Totally! We also don't add very much sugar because we don't like things super sweet, which helps a lot :)

[@summerjoy1352]

"you vs the guy she told you not to worry about" lol I love your humor

[@Megan-of6ts]

Definitely trying the red bean dish since I LOVE boba

[@Veggiekins]

Omg yess!! the chewyness is amazinggggggggg ♡

[@rainepanda]

We have a mitsuwa here in Dallas and I love it so much!!!

[@Veggiekins]

That's amazing!! There actually isn't one in NYC (where I live) but the New Jersey one is close enough to go every once in a while :)

[@KristaNCBarril]

That lotus root recipe almost looks like the Korean one too! I made those a while back and I actually really like the texture of the root!

[@Veggiekins]

Yeah!! Super similar :) All about the flavours for the most part. I used to HATE it Lol but i actually love it now!

[@arielkalyan]

These all look so freaking good!

[@Veggiekins]

Ariel Kalyan hehe thanks Ariel!!!!

[@MegJosephson]

MY HEART

[@cicwang1]

I'd love to know where you go those blush trays from!

[@Veggiekins]

I picked them up in Asia at a home store!

[@Of.earthandether]

Would you be able to make Onigiri with brown rice instead ? ~ Loved the video 🧡

[@Veggiekins]

It won't really hold together as well unfortunately, but you could always make it misshapen if you don't care lol! :)

[@321qwzx123]

This was such a lovely video, I really enjoyed it and am definetly subscribing for more :D Your relationship with your grandma is so beautiful :) Also, "babi" is what most of us in Slovenia call our grandmas and it's shor for "babica" :D

[@Veggiekins]

Aww thanks! ♡ That is SO cool! The world feels so small haha :P

[@lovelynorae]

I love this - your bobby is so sweet! And I really want to try making zenzai, which seems similar to Korean patjuk (red bean porridge). Would love to see you cooking vegan Korean food with your dad as well!

[@Veggiekins]

Ohh yes!! It's definitely similar :) I think you'd love it. The mochi adds a great texture. Will definitely cook with my dad too!

[@lilybird5803]

I don't remember those from sailor moon but I do remember them from hamtaro lol As someone who is also part japanese, this was so cool to watch :-)

[@Veggiekins]

Omg hahaha hamtaro!!!

[@heartcaptorkitten705]

So is there meal recommendation for these two what to eat it with? ^^

[@verdantis9960]

Discovered you today. I adore Japanese food and would eat Japanese style everyday if I could. Your Obaasan is so sweet! Gonna sub and see what other cool stuff you have. Any chance you could do a demo of making homemade mochii sometime? Would love to see that!

[@Veggiekins]

Aw thanks so much!!! So grateful for the sub and my grandma is too ;) I will add it to my list for future ideas :)

[@kushig2932]

New Subbie came from Lisa Kitahara's Channel!! looks delicious!

[@TheEmmaVee]

Me and my nana have a little japanese blood in us. She passed this year. I got to cook with her one time so I cherish this memory. Your video was really cute, made me miss mine! ❤️ (edit) I also recognized Mitsuwa! I go to the one in San Diego, it's the only place I can buy asian cuisine. n.n

[@Veggiekins]

I'm so sorry for your loss, sending love and I had no idea mitsuwa was in CA!! How awesome.

For the mochi cubes are they the sweet ones or the non-flavored/not sweet ones??

[@Veggiekins]

Plain mochi, you could use sweet too I'm sure, but traditionally it's classic mochi

[@catherinewildblooms3341]

In my language ( slovak), babi literally means granny, so I think that's pretty awsome :)

[@Veggiekins]

That is really awesome! Love that so much :)

[@foxwithsocks47]

What kind of rice did you use?

You need to use short grain, asian white rice :)

[@jjjuuoo385]

I live mitsuwa:)))) have you been to marukai?

[@kimpeetang]

I'm half Japanese and grew up in Japan. Japanese people make onigiri with Onigiri maker and hand press it after and make it little funky. So you can fake it as handmade lol. Sorry if you don't understand what I'm saying.

[@Veggiekins]

Hahahaha that's so funny!! My grandma said she was always taught by her mum to hand press, but she only makes circular ones haha :)

[@atsukorichards1675]

I personally prefer the handmade onigiri. Like you said, they have the personality. And more - you can see someone (or yourself) made them for you (or someone). That's something makes you happy.
