After finishing this breakfast, I'd be done for the day. Straight to bed for me.

[@nybiggs]

I've seen similar breakfasts but with much smaller portion sizes of each. It's supposed to be light lol.

[@gregc1331]

This is a hoot! The precision, the cleanliness. If my wife saw me cooking like this she would think I’ve been replaced.

[@1DrBar]

@gregc1331 That is exactly what came to my mind as I watched this. ;)

[@n990]

Had this breakfast every morning (unless I was cooking) for years. Amazingly satisfying and healthy.

[@ystanjul88]

Breakfast made with so much love ❤. You make a very good husband and a good role model 👍🏻

[@arnonum7455]

Japanese breakfest is the best! Even in a lot of good budged hotels you get these things at the morning buffet. I loved it and I miss it very much. Greetings from Germany.

[@cheekygnome]

I feel the same way about Bavarian breakfast! I used to travel to Bamberg a lot for business.

[@ZeusCannonZK3]

Breathtaking video. You deserve more attention for the quality of your presentation.

[@HunterK]

Thank you!! I appreciate the comment and I hope this video comes off as helpful for everyone.

The radish pickles can be made in advance, they store well for a week or so and therefore an hour isn’t needed daily. Also, make fresh dashi by placing the kombu seaweed in the pot overnight, in the morning I simply heat the pot to near boiling then remove it. Then add the bonito flakes as done here. It only takes a few minutes (don’t over steep the bonito-once it settles in the pot the broth should be strained. Lastly, many instant dashi products are available. I’m not fond of the instant powder but find the sachets (like tea bags) fairly good. Dashi is best fresh & used immediately but I eat miso soup daily with breakfast and prefer homemade to the sachets and make enough dashi for several days. Stored tightly & kept in the fridge it looses something each day but I still find it superior to any of the instant products.

My only, one time, experience with mackerel was not good as it was so very fish tasting. Watching how you prep and cook the mackerel has given me courage to try again. All the rest will be enjoyable to prep & cook also. Thank you again for your postings. Your passion for your heritage shines through. Side note: I showed this video to my 90+ dad and it brought him to tears. Dad grew up in Steveston and he vividly remembers the day he last saw his best friend and his family taken away on a bus, never to see them again. Dad remembers having his friends mom make very simular breakfasts that he would enjoy with his friend. Dad asked me if I would cook this for him. I'm going to make it this Sunday, February 14th for dad and my wife. I hope you don't mind me sharing this? Thank you again so much 🙏🏻✌🏻

Mackarel is a fish with plenty of oils and dark meat which gives its natural robust fishy taste. Although it is difficult to completely remove the taste, there are methods I am familiar with which reduce the strong flavours of the fish. 1) Removal of the guts as soon as possible to prevent the transfer of taste onto the flesh. 2) Gently washing the filets in sake for a minute or two also works very well. Just make sure to pat the filets dry before the salting process. 🙂 I am truly sorry for your dad's loss. For your family, it must mean much more than just food. I cannot do much asides from cooking, but if there is any way I can be of any help, please let me know. You are welcome to share this video and thank you very much for sharing your story with me.

[@Panzerkita61]

@@HunterK my fathers loss goes back to when he was 12 years old, when his Japanese friend, and his family, were put on a Canadian military bus and sent to a Japanese internment camp. Dad was 12 when this happened and 78+ years later it still has a profound effect on him. 🙏🏻✌🏻

[@HunterK]

@@Panzerkita61 What a connection your dad has with this food. It is really unfortunate what happened during those times. I hope your 14th to be a wonderful and happy one!🙂

[@mirotzu99]

@@Panzerkita61 if your dad remembers his friends name, it's still possible to find the friend.

[@demijones7537]

I'm sorry for your dad's loss. I hope he's able to find his friend

[@1DrBar]

Mackerel is one of my favorite tastes - but here in the USA's South East, one can't find good fresh mackerel except if I drive two and a half hours to the coast. The fresh fish markets never have it, and flash frozen is also near impossible to find. My favorite way to have it is not cooked but brined the way Russians do it. If I tried cooking as this gentleman does - the breakfast would be ready at near dinner time. What a show of skill and the approach to the food seems to be full of some sort of deep reverence. Wonderful to see.

[@ScathednTorn]

This looks really good, I think I could cook this on the weekend when I have more time than usual before work 😊

[@kimatamuhammad5186]

Oh my goosha!

[@sunnysingh-mp1jx]

Sunday breakfast can take sometime

[@bannon315]

Wonderful!

[@BigboiiTone]

Definitely not for the beginner but that is ok. This looks like something I would make for the challenge to test my precision and timing

[@TanyaKatherine]

Delightful!

[@outdoorloser4340]

Absolutely love your video, the camera angles and music are wonderful. It's a perfect video to enjoy while eating my own breakfast in Washington state 🌲

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the video🙂 From your friendly neigbouring country 👊

Looks good but I didn’t know what you were doing when you made the miso soup

[@ChoicelessAwareness]

i will be forever later for my work if I cook this for breakfast every day.

[@eddieburrelli]

Not if you get up from bed earlier 😃

[@vincentwu3901]

Definitely doing this one

[@tommske]

i wish i had time for this

Watching this after years of throwing every mackerel that I’ve caught back into the ocean. lol

[@manithangavalu7885]

By the time i get to work, my boss will fire me for unreliable.

So you debone the fish after cooking? I never see any other saba no shioyaki debone. I’m going to try your method!

[@salbiahahmad8264]

Cooking is meditation

[@india1727]

i just get to have bread n butter

[@squintygreeneyes]

enjoyed your video. wanted to mention, at 2:30 did you mean to say: “particular” instead of “peculiar”? peculiar kind of means odd or strange where particular in this context means to be more careful or taking extra steps. :)

[@brandonlasvegas]

😋😎

[@Romerofast]

Saba always ahead of salmon to me

[@YashOcy]

Is there the rice in the second bowl? But what is the small piece soaked with soy sauce next to the mackerel?

[@seattlefoodcritic]

I believe it was grated daikon radish, a very common accompaniment to oily fish in Japanese cuisine

[@lasol2474]

Very nice but I'd rather sleep in and get a Mac meal than getting up early to prepare all that 😀. I would use that for my dinner menu

[@jokotri2186]

Is this why Japanese women prefer being single, can you imagine cooking this "breakfast" every morning.

[@ScathednTorn]

It’s a traditional breakfast they don’t eat this every morning. The British don’t eat their traditional breakfast every morning just like the Japanese don’t either. Japanese women prefer being single because they dont want to have children in the future or risk having them as it’s not a personal interest or goal of theirs.

Jesus's I only want to wash one bowl for breakfast, even better if I can get away of not washing it.

[@kristinesharp6286]

Thanks for the warning. LOL

[@StarrGod696]

LOL…

[@rogermoore27]

3:40 - why are we warning people about how graphic it is to clean fish?

[@funyun]

That's a really small serving for an adult, or maybe the plan was to eat light so when lunch time comes around, we would be starving.

[@joonfelix8696]

Let me guess, you are American…no portion is large enough for you people

[@huggybear441]

l don't understand why people eat such high carbs (unless you are menial workers) early in the morning, my day will be ruined if l had this.

[@summercucumber4964]

It's rice. Chill out. 😂

[@HunterK]

Although Western cuisine has its own benefits, Japanese cuisine is a little bit more about variety and in smaller quantities!

[@greenriver77]

[@anggorob.nugroho6606]

This is too complicated only for breakfast. You must be practical, fast but still mind the nutrition

[@sunartokasminah3628]

😅😅😅

[@duyquang3110]

But Japanese people, they eat like for a long time. The mother prepare food for family, they have breakfast together then go to work or study.

[@alexcantelou2469]

Then off you go... eat your breakfast cereal. 🙄
