Cooking with Japanese mother: A typical healthy homemade dinner 🇯🇵

[@ironlion45]

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.

[@NatManzano]

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.

[@faithds5155]

Mine too🥰

[@NatManzano]

@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.

[@bellegold2303]

I need more videos like this I love it! It feels like a mom teaching her kids how to cook.

[@bruscifer]

Japanese home cooked meals are simply TO DIE FOR! 😍

[@Manawald]

It's pretty incredible that the lotus flower stew is pretty much the same as an Estonian stew... Just some different root vegetables.

[@etherealecstasy]

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.

[@hedaheda1609]

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.

[@okuu5091]

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.

[@etherealecstasy]

@@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.

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

​@@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

[@carolynnorton9552]

America has a money-making culture. If you stay home, you're not making money. That is why "housewife" carries such a stigma.

[@sarabaldeschwieler7763]

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. ❤

[@disornt]

I am from Thailand. Thanks your mom for sharing the cooking secrets. I love Japanese food. I will try to make it.

[@praptitimilsina376]

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!

[@nonnynu]

Really love to see a real Japanese cook! Absolutely cooked with lots of love. Thank you for sharing your mom with us! She’s so cute!

[@coffeesali]

She is AMAZING

[@tanmay7951]

Mother's food always good ❤

[@marylee2809]

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.

[@juliantibaalham4587]

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.

[@EWats-gz6mk]

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.

[@tkyap2524]

Nothing like a home-cooked meal with love and care from Mum (a very important member of the household).

[@welma943]

loved the way she incorporated the kombu and the other ingredient for the broth, definitely trying the miso recipe over the weekend.

[@dominoplay3712]

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

[@SherrisPlace]

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 !

[@4_4_4..]

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🇵🇸💚

[@altchang]

So nice to see someone appreciating their mother.

[@teresatsai8753]

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?

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.

[@yas-bkrt]

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!

[@majordudette]

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!

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.

[@sullivx]

I love miso soup. Does your mom also make instant ones like most Japanese moms do? Would love to learn more from your mom. She is lovely

[@lishienlim]

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. :)

[@Lisa-jm3nk]

This was a beautiful video. We all need to see more of this on KZbin 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!

[@rantwrite7178]

Thank you so much for inviting us, your viewers, to your lovely mother's kitchen. I learned so much. I would love to see more videos like this one.

[@bocskailucia159]

This is so nice and interesting !!! Being a Japanese , you are a genuine source of information about what means this country with its people, nature, traditions, food and so many...Europe and other places are so overused by bloggers !!!

[@tia7432]

That looks so delicious! Your mother is a treasure. I would like more of her cooking lessons.

[@LifeForGodP]

Thank you for this wonderful video Aki! I'm a Filipina but we've adapted this lifestyle for years now after my husband was diagnosed with fatty liver and my sugar was near prediabetic. But now, thanks God that our medical reports are now saying that all is well. We've also managed to lose weight quickly by just adapting this healthy Japanese lifestyle. Thank you Aki for inspiring us. God bless also to you Mom! ❤️🌹

[@cosettelewallen4281]

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.

[@estherkinzelmann4875]

This is the very best video you ever did. Love it love it.

[@viktoriyalyubeznik3255]

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!
