Peaceful Cuisine Q&A #1

[@yw5647]

-"Why do you use organic ingredients?" -"Because I want to." Ahaha I cracked

[@yw5647]

***** He indeed explained about his choice. But his very first reaction gave me a good laugh.

[@jennifers2555]

How do you handle family meals and social gatherings where the food provided isn't vegan (weddings, holidays, etc)? Is your family supportive of your veganism? Love your channel SO much!

[@mungga86]

yea..hope you reply to this question as well.

[@loveb1790]

Jennifer Selzer This is my favorite question because a lot of people struggle to be vegetarian because of their family. So I'm wondering the same question.

[@cluelesscrispy]

Jennifer Selzer you can check his Q&A 2. He answered a question very similar to yours.

[@kimannye]

When he spoke English in the beginning I fangirl so hard 😭😍

[@iwyalllbifithtwaso]

Damn! Im too late now I've gotta start at the back of the line

[@hannah-nn7wo]

I've been in this line for as long as I can remember

[@Jennifrlim]

Do you think you lead a different lifestyle than most people in Japan? Because it seems like you are living a kind of "westernized" life in Japan and if yes, what is the challenges you have in leading that lifestyle? Arigato!

[@OnlyIInfinite]

really good question. would be great to get this answered.

[@fiiooonnnna]

Jennifer Lim I agree hope he answers this

[@Dakota-Rose]

Great question! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@yw5647]

Why do you think his lifestyle is westernized though?

[@kitsune_sun6371]

probably because he can speak good English lol I didn't see anything particularly westernized in his video, I mean how could you tell that his lifestyle is westernized from cooking tutorials.

[@Thevietvegan]

How do you keep your kitchen from getting dusty when everything is out like that? Also, do you have interest in finding a girlfriend?

[@Adhimaska]

vacuum cleaner

[@gladitsnotme]

omg i know! i have wall-to-wall carpet in my apartment and everything gets dusty, no matter how often i vacuum the duct or change the air filter.

[@WeekendsWithG]

I just found his channel 30 minutes ago and have to comment now that I noticed your comment; lol'd at the combination of great questions ;-)

[@Thevietvegan]

Hahah how have you not found his channel before?! His videos are so calming and beautiful :) Plus he's vegan! Also yeah totally random combo of questions XD

[@jjwtcs9451]

Plot twist to second question: In the closet :P

[@quadreye]

For some reason, I want this guy to cook with Jun... They're both quite methodical. Jun isn't vegan though...

[@gwomenazai4486]

[@chinajennaalys14]

Lovely video. Thanks for doing it in English, I felt more connected with you this time! Question: have you joined any local vegan group or vegan society? And what are some of the names of the stores you use to buy your ingredients from? I live in Osaka and it's a challenge. Thank you!

[@peacefulcuisine]

in which part of Osaka(or nearest station) do you live in?

[@Wooplot]

Yes i kind of felt like, i saw more of his personality since he spoke in English?

[@chinajennaalys14]

***** I live near Senri Chuo (monorail line). A bit away from downtown. :)

Woah! Thank you sooooo much! This is very kind of you. I really appreciate all of your help. Have a lovely day (even though it's raining-it's still beautiful out).

[@MNJGaGa]

after following him for quite some time, I knew his answer to a question around 7:24 would definitely be - "I don't hate people". ***Such a lovely guy.***

[@hwajeongjeong8761]

LOL he read the longest comment like he was rapping.

[@dianaocando8676]

YES! XDDDDD

[@elleofhearts8471]

question for ryoya: can you rap?

[@laloasaelrios7239]

Gotta love how the man doesn't listen music, yet he plays Guitar, Ukelele and Cello.

[@ZoomZoomBoom24]

Plus he does have videos where there is classical music playing gently in the background.

[@epicfly4319]

Maybe he meant "songs"

[@hounamao7140]

"when do you feel happiness ?" "when I do what I want to do, it means, everyday, every minute" hell yeah, how many people can say that

[@EineTasseKaffe]

Hi! Of all the places you have visited, where was it the most difficult to find vegan food?

[@Madelope]

EineTasseKaffe I am interested as well

[@EineTasseKaffe]

Yay! :)

[@creedencecr3706]

haha if he picks this comment he'll probably have some difficulty pronouncing your name- if you see this Ryoya: it means literally "aCupOfCoffee" :D

[@EineTasseKaffe]

Creedence CR "A cup of coffee" works as well. :)

[@creedencecr3706]

EineTasseKaffee lol yeah idk why i had the need to write it without any space ^^

[@brid8923]

Can I just marry this guy, please?

[@sokunthealy7619]

Bri D can we just share this perfect creation.

[@BeauPeople]

Great english! :) Where did you learn it? Thanks for the video, best from Canada

[@kenllacer]

Probably during his time in California and Australia.

[@HannahWalters]

Definitely more American in that accent than Aussie (not that its a bad thing!) so probably predominately from Cali

[@jsep_8367]

Omg he's so attractive

[@SophieInSeattle]

Thank you for doing the video in both English and Japanese! I am currently self teaching myself the language, and this was actually really good listening practice :)

[@gruzin6714]

not a vegan but i love your videos

Pleasantly surprised by your articulation of the English language.

[@cynanpramis1539]

I just have to say you have a bunch of admirers and their comments made me laugh! You mentioned you dont listen to music but arent you learning how to play the cello? You dont have to answer! Happy to note you're a well balanced happy person in a day to day basis.

[@hs_7683]

20歳のときにオーストラリアにいた理由はなんですか？ そして、りょうやさんの英語の会話力はやはり、勉強したというよりも、実際に話して身についたのでしょうか？

[@NinaNina-rt2ju]

you're the coolest person ever. literally

[@YINGYC]

Who eats the dishes you make in your recipe videos? (Especially the videos where you make one giant dessert hahaha.) What is your favorite vegan dish of all time?

[@16safetydance]

You're so adorable ^_^ how tall are you? And do you have a skin and face routine? You have very nice skin :)

[@overlyexcitedvegan]

Generally a plant-based diet gives you nicer skin! I know my skin got more clear and smooth after cutting out animal products

[@Tessoura]

mine didn't.

[@tjunglince]

yeah, mine didn't either 😢

[@overlyexcitedvegan]

+Tessoura aw really? D: I have a couple of friends that got rid of their acne after going vegan. Guess that's not the case for everyone.

[@Tessoura]

I do care a lot about my diet so I don't think my acne is caused by the food I eat. I really think it's also genetical...

[@erikarie1121]

Hello, getting from Texas, I was wondering if your upbringing inspired you in any way to learn to cook? And if so, what dish best represents you. Keep up your great skills!

[@jeandubois9726]

Hi ! Can you show us before/after photos of your physical transformation (thanks to workouts) ? It would be great to set an example and show that we don't need to eat meat to gain muscles.

Hi Ryoya! Do you have tips for vegetarians/vegans for traveling to Japan? Are there vegetarian/vegan food options aplenty? :)

[@danlam1869]

when he said " I don't really listen to music at all," the music stopped. I thought it was on purpose ...

[@kathleenannmodina-angue4540]

Not to pry, but I would like to ask what is Ryoya's occupation. He owns such high quality, expensive stuff and a lovely home to boot.

[@MrRdlv]

he did answer this question a year ago. he held a cooking class before went full time on youtube, and now his view numbers are enormous that translated into money. Hope it would answer your question lol
