Man this might not sound insanely "fancy and cool" to you, but to me, a high school student in America, all of this food is really awesome, and I cannot wait to try matcha myself, as I love tea but have never tried it.

@larsonfamilyhouse 2 роки тому

It’s sooooo good. I like to add milk and sugar/honey so then it’s like a latte that tastes like green tea ice cream:) I like plain tea too but it’s extra delicious when you add milk and honey

I've always gotten the Matcha latte at Starbucks, if you like it a little more bitter and coffee taste, add an extra shot of espresso. I like matcha iced latte, but you can also order it hot.

Even grocery stores sell tea. I grew up drinking tea as a child. My father brought home Jasmine loose leaf in a canister from Hong Kong in the 70s. I learned about matcha benefits many years ago. If you have Ecoideas brand, they have culinary grade that's been tested for heavy metals. Their matcha is organic coming from Japan. Ceremonial tends to be more expensive so, start with culinary grade. Buying matcha drinks outside is expensive so, save that for special occasions. Also, dairy milk hinders the nutrients in matcha so, it's better to avoid that and sugar. Many diseases today are traced back to our diet and lifestyle over the years. It's harder to reverse ingrained habits as an adult than when you're younger. Good luck in starting your tea journey.

"I'm sorry it's not very fancy and cool" Dude it's so COOOOOOOL As a Brazilian living in France, my breakfast is two slices of bread with brie cheese + sliced banana with oats and honey (I like to eat in the morning it makes me feel strong) In the lunch, I usually have rice/mashed potatoes/chicken with onions and soy sauce, with a tangerine on the side. For dinner, it's either crêpes (with cheese ham and eggs) or couscous with eggs, and yogurt on the side. If it's too late I won't drink tea but I love it! I incorporated many french elements in my daily meal routine, but some north-eastern Brazilian roots are still here, such as liking a strong breakfast

I am from Andalucía, in Spain. We use to drink a cold drink that I love: gazpacho. (I drink it in all the seasons). The recipe is tomatoes, green pepper, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. You can do enough for a big bottle. Then, in your lunch, dinner, etc, you only have to serve it in a glass, with two glasses you have enough. I use to drink it in all my meals till is finished. It is very healthy and it hydrates you very much. The field workers in the past used to drink eat to recover the forces. You can find it in the supermarket abroad but that is totally different, that is only tomato juice. It is better if you do it at home.

@SamuraiMatcha 2 роки тому

Isnt Gazpatcho like a cold soup? is that a drink the way you make it?

@Ikwigsjoyful Рік тому

@@robinmp8300 My understanding is that traditionally gazpacho is served as a drink, and most of the recipes I've seen (including the one I use) involve blending the vegetables quite fine so it's more of a thick juice. But I've eaten very tasty, more souplike gazpacho in restaurants in the U.S. where the vegetables are just chopped up and kind of floating in a seasoned tomato juice. So I guess these days it depends on which you prefer.

@ianavodenicharova4167 Рік тому

I admire the Japanese attitudes to diet. The small portions ensure that we don't overeat and we can actually finish the food on the plate without any waste. It also allows us to have variety of foods so that we include as many nutrients which we require on a daily basis and it also looks better, more beautiful and pleasing. I try to be aware of my portions and exercise control so I get the right amount of food that my body needs. This can be different depending on age, height, gender and level of activity during the day. The more active you are the more food you might require to get more energy. I've had some experience of drinking matcha tea but it wasn't the traditional ceremonial matcha tea powder. I have had a matcha tea KitKat a few times. I enjoy the taste! The way that people eat in certain countries in Europe are actually quite healthy and promote longer life span. For example, the Mediterranean diet in countries like Italy and Greece are associated with lower rates for heart disease and cancer. People cook more and prepare meals with fresh locally sourced ingredients. France has a reputation for high quality and fresh ingredients in home cooking and keeps people slim. People in these countries consume less processed foods and snacks. That's why they're healthier. Britain's obesity rate is higher than most other countries in Europe.

Similar to the clay rice pot it is an excellent tradeoff and unlike teflon it is also gauranteed to last a lifetime with care.

I recently started cooking with a cast iron skillet and love it. The trick is to use it a lot. Clean with hot water while the pan is hot. Heat it before adding oil or cooking. I use it for everyday cooking except for tomato or other acidic foods like sauerkraut. Teflon bad for health and environment.

You know human can function in perfect health eating 0 carbs & eating 1 meal a day right? You basically attack your pancreas & liver & gut 4 times or more a day. You also replaced healthy meat with artificial plastic substitute. You think its natural for body & healthy? Only butter, cheese(i Hope real not processed substitute) & fish saves you from dying of starving body away from real nutrition. If you also use plant oil for frying God save you. If you live 65 & without any transplantation it will be a miracle. And it common for majority of Europeans. That's the only reason so many ppl died in last year's. They earned half-dead state.

Hi Aki, thank you for sharing little pieces of your life with us. It's very brave of you because I can tell that you don't do it for the attention, but simply to share. That is, to me an important part of the minimalist lifestyle. To be able to give away something that you might be tempted to keep all for yourself. You show us that it is healthier to open one's place of "hoarding", literally or figuratively, and melt into the fabric of presence and community. Your videos show that you have built a life that allows you to do this very well. I'm a mixed media artist, a gardener, an ecologist, moves a lot, and in general someone that wears many hats. It is a constant and everyday practice to remain minimal by questioning my priorities and how they change. I enjoy the movement and flow of meaningful items coming in and going out of my life, much like food being prepared, and then disappearing to become a part of us, and also in part returning back to the earth in another form. Look at how you've made me think deeply. Have you started a virtual minimalist dojo? Count me in!

I’ve improved my diet to drop some weight. For the last month for breakfast I have a 2 egg omelette with onion and a little hard cheese. Sometimes mushroom is included. I also pick a dozen different green leaves from my garden and make a green smoothie. I add freshly grown ginger, turmeric and citrus juice. It tastes a bit like lawn but has fresh life and good bacteria. It’s my direct connection to my garden and the natural world. I also have chickens and make my own eggs. For lunch I have unsweetened Greek yoghurt with cinnamon and raspberries. I eat avocado often. For dinner, a roasted fillet of salmon with cauliflower rice, other veggies or a green salad. I will use a rich sauce like mayonnaise or butter based and I add cheese often. I don’t eat bulk carbohydrates or added sugar anymore but I may eat a little rice in the future. I often fast and won’t eat for a day to heal my body from a lifetime of a western diet.

I think your food is the the purest food I ever seen. And no wonder you start your day at 5am, takes time to eat like you. Awesome channel!

This was very interesting, and I am very grateful that you explained your process of how to make Matcha and the different dishes you cooked. Wonderful video.

@lamoinette23 Рік тому

hello! this is a lovely relaxing video. i used to work in a tea shop where i learned about matcha for the first time. i've loved it since then though have never prepared it at home. also love this way of preparing rice in the ceramic pot! i want to do this instead od using the rice cooker. also one of my favorite meals is rice with a bowl of miso soup. it makes me so happy 🙂 thank you for sharing your day with us.

Your food looks so healthy and delicious! I'm a Ukrainian living in the US, and my food varies by season, but in the winter, it is the following: Breakfast: Rye bread with eggs or other topping, like peanut butter. Sometimes spinach pie with tofu (I promise it is delicious) with black tea (I like to eat a lot of protein in the morning, so I don't get hungry before lunch) Lunch: I like to eat borscht with beans, split pea soup, or some other kind of hearty stew Dinner: sometimes I make just a hearty salad with bean and sweet potatoes, sometimes I have noodles, and sometimes I make a nice complete dinner with my SO (that usually includes beer as well)! I also drink more tea throughout the day and after every meal, and sometimes snack on carrots and fruit (in the winter, it is mainly apples)

Eastern Europeans have one of the unhealthiest diets of tons of carbs. I'm half Ukrainian and half Polish Jew, had to move away from the horrible diet I was raised around and switch to keto. Lost all unwanted body fat and got a six pack.

Great video again! Only recently I realized how much more enjoyable my diet has become since I more often embrace minimalism when it comes to food. Many times I enjoy simple dishes over the elaborate creations that keep me in the kitchen longer. It is nice to actually taste the individual components instead of having a dish crammed with ingrediences. Gives you more intentionality when buying groceries as well, because this way you realize more directly when something you purchase is of bad quality. Thanks for the insight into your routine! いただきます!

@massages_for_world_peace8909 Рік тому

I totally agree! For me, the simplicity is also in not having to make side dishes out of habit. For example I used to eat a salad for appetizer, then rice and beans for dinner but this week had salad one meal, and just the garbanzos a different meal. Sometimes it’s nice to make all the components but sometimes it’s nice to just eat simply :)

It´s so different, in Argentina we drink mate which has its own "ceremony" were you prepare and depending how you serve it it reveals your felling to the other person. If it´s cold it means you want them to go away, if it´s too sweet it means you loves them and if you give them the first one it means you are not a good friend. You should read about it

This was so interesting and relaxing to watch I live in America and I had advocado toast for breakfast, vegetarian hot dog with coleslaw for lunch and I had a cashew cheese pasta dish for dinner.

Advocado toast sounds awesome, but in Japan they are so expensive...

Thanks for the video! I've been making more and more rice for breakfast and lunch. I add a raw egg into the piping hot rice, mix it with chopsticks, and then microwave it for 30-45 seconds just to be safe. Then I add Furikake (usually the salmon nori flavor) and some gochujang paste (or miso). Sriracha is also a good topping as well. I need to get back in habit of making smoothies every morning. My wife and daughter love em! (Apple, banana, orange, oats, spinach, milk, and some vanilla whey (for protein)).

You don't have to be single to change your nutrition or eat different from other family members, dear. What lame excuse is that? I'm married and have a teen kid. As if I'd let my husband or son dictate what I PUT in MY mouth. It's only MY business, and I'm not even working (due to disability). I make my needs communicated and will not take no for an answer. It's my body, my health and my decision. My husband was born in North America and eats complete garbage! No way I'd eat that, ever! Yes, you're the only person controlling what you eat. Nobody else.

Hello from Alberta, Canada. I usually eat dinner left overs during the week for breakfast. Easy to heat up fast and there is less food waste from leftovers going bad. I have been watching your channel, Nami's and Choki's channels as well to get exposed to japanese esthetics, cooking and lifestyle. I went out and bought a ceramic rice pot, cast iron square pan at my local japanese lifestyle shop.
