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.

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!

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

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. ❤

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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

Mother's food always good ❤

She is AMAZING

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. I would also like to see how she pickles and firments. I love her explanations as to how and why she does things. That was very helpful. Please tell her thank you from me. ❤❤❤

I'd like to see a pickle video, too!

Wow, your mom works so hard. That was great to watch. Thank you Aki.

Mothers or grandmother's recips are the best😉

Moms are the most under- appreciated people in the world. Thanks for featuring her.

So nice to see someone appreciating their mother.

You are right. Food cooked by mom tastes the best! Thank you for sharing with us Aki. Greetings for your mother!

How well your mother cooks, everything is so artisan, she cooks with love, thank you, good afternoon.

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.

As someone who loves cooking and is currently learning Japanese, hearing your mom talk and having the subtitles was really enjoyable and relaxing for me! She seems lovely 😊

We love u Samurai-matcha-San, konichiwa from Amsterdam Oranda, domo arigato goy za mas for your great video's!! and lovely mother 💞💫

Yes, please make more videos of your mom cooking or cleaning house, gardening, whatever. It's very calming to watch.

Your mums a fabulous cook, beautiful meals. Blessings to you and uour family.

Wow, just wow! Your mom made it look easy to put together that fabulous meal! My thanks to you both! 🎉

Your mom is a great cook and she shows her family that she loves them with her food! You are lucky to have her as your mom

Love it that your mom's a good teacher and very meticulously thoughtful in how she prepared the food, even with quality ingredients - such love! We could imagine it tasted soooo delicious! Bless your mom!

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 !!!

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!

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

More of mama’s cooking in the future please.. good job Aki’s mama! 🥰

お母さん最高🎉

Mother’s cooking is always the best! I enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing!

She is AMAZING and the dishes are so beautiful and presented 🎁 well ❤ blessings to your mother for long life and happiness!

OMG! Loved this video!!! SO GREAT! You can feel the love and warmth from her kitchen through the video! Wow Japanese culture has it all - mindfulness, healthy approach to food, elegance!! Thanks for sharing!! 👌🏻🙌🏻☺️

Awesome idea for content

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

Every mother with a son enjoys the moment when he sits down and takes the first bite. The happiness on your face is heart warming.

oh my goodness, your mother is an amazing teacher! She is so lovely, and I don't remember the last time I was so engaged in a cooking video. I learned so much from her. Please thank her and ask her to share more!

We need cute lid holders like this 😊

I love this video because it is regular family food. More please!

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! ❤️🌹

The beginning was delicious

The food looks great. I love using Togi-jiru for my plants about once a week.

It's so nice to see your mom cooking her recipes. Thank you so much and tell her thank you also!

I absolutely love these kind of videos. It is always so remarkable for me to see how healthy the japanese diet is compared to the standard diets in most countries. I am german and live in france for over a decade and in both countries people way overconsume saturated fats (butter, cheese, cream, meat etc) and white flour products (bread, pasta etc. ) and eat too much overall. On the other hand they do not consume nearly enough fruit and veg. The saying "overfed and undernourished" is what comes to mind. I would love to transition towards japanese meals for my family (even including breakfasts), but from where i am now i find it very overwhelming and i do not know where and how to start. I would be grateful if anyone would have any suggestions. Thank you for this lovely video❤

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

Wonderful! So enjoyable and informative. Your mother needs her own youtube! I was touched by her attention to detail in both cooking and presentation. Delightful!

Please make more videos from your mother's kitchen. Watching this added some happy to my morning. Thank you!

OH !!! Thank you! thank you! thank you ! This video help me a lot and stimulate me to cook Japanese styles, your mother explained very well, and now i can go to the Japanese's grocery store and i have an idea what i buy to cook. Please, could you show us more delicious plates, and for breakfast? 😍

I enjoyed watching your mother cook. I would like to see more videos like this. It is so nice that you appreciate your mother's cooking!

How wonderful to watch your mom in her kitchen. Please share more!

Thank you Mother and Samurai!

Thank your Mom for showing how to make these dishes. Very interesting. Thank you for bringing these to us!

How wonderful to share your mother’s cooking with us! It reminds me of when my mother would show me her favorite recipes. Please tell her thank you!!

This is really wonderful. You should make a book with your mum. You could teach the world how to cook Japanese. It’s so healthy. Thank you I really enjoyed it. Your mum explains it so well 😍😍

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.

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!

I LOVED watching your mother prepare a meal for you. SO entertaining and your appreciation was so sincere! ❤ Enjoy your channel so much!

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

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

Yes, please make more of these videos! And send my thank you to your Mom for sharing her home cooking wisdom. Never thought about soaking the bonito and konbu overnight - but I totally will start now. Thank you 🙏🏼.

She is so sweet and an amazing cook! Thank you for sharing this and thanks to her for taking the time to show us her recipes. Homecooking is such a valuable thing!

I finally got around to making these pickled soy sauce eggs you ate in one video-oh my gosh!! Heaven on earth!! It was SO good. This video was also super cozy! 😌

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!

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.

Please more Japanese home cooking with Mom videos!! They are very delicious.

Love your moms cooking. More pleease!

I love this so much!

I loved watching this! She made it look so easy!

Great video, we appreciate your mothers wisdom and would love to see more like this. Nutritious meals + minimizing waste is a winning combination.

Yes, please more videos of your mom making Japanese dishes. I miss my mom’s cooking so would love to be able to make them myself

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

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. :)

Looks marvellous! 🤗

This video was great, really enjoyed it. It made Japanese cooking seem very approachable and your mom explains very well.

It's nice to see the range of Japanese food, beautiful and thoughtful, the techniques, the colors... I would love to watch more =) Your mom is the cutest!

I love this! I hope to see more like it. Thank your mom from me for showing us how to prepare such delicious food!

Thank you so much, Aki-san! This is, in my very humble opinion, your best video to date. I LOVED watching your Mother cook so many amazing dishes. I wish you could make more videos like this with her. Maybe you could have her make a dish of food and then do a kitchen tour, talk about the fish grill (sadly, in US, we don't have that here, but we do have larger counter-top ovens), the utensils she has like the little round miso scoop-whisk, and the mesh bowl for the rice and the mesh tray. I am always on the look out for practical kitchen items like that (also not readily found here in US). I bet you could do dozens of these little combo videos with her. I really enjoyed watching you eat her food too. Truly, a wonderful meal made from our Mothers are always the very best. 🙏💖🙏 Again, thank you so much for the video and for all that you do! Take care and be safe! 😊💖🙏

Would be great to see more of her daily home cooking dishes. Maybe start with the family favourites

omg I enjoyed this so much! It is so nice to "meet" your mother! I cannot wait to see more of her cooking/homemaking! In the meantime I will make my best to make these recipes at my home :) Thank you!!

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.

Yes please! Make more videos of your mom cooking!!!!!

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?

半年前に日本へ参りました。日本の新しい生活慣れてきました。和食大好きです。アキさんのお母さんが作り料理は美味しそうです😋後て自分て作ってみます。

I have traveled all over the world and there's nothing that compares to any mom's cooking!!!!

Beautiful meal! Thank you for sharing your mother and her cooking with us.

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!

This is wonderfula

Yes, I would love to see more videos of your mother cooking! Maybe seasonal foods? Honestly this video made me so hungry I had to go to the kitchen to make instant miso soup (it's really late and I didn't want to make too much noise!)

Over 40 years of homemaking experience is wonderful!

Fantastic! I learned things! Cool the veg to get more flavor! How did I not know this? And the foam skimmer! And more! Thank you and thank you, Mom!

There's nothing like a nice home cooked meal from mom. It looked beautiful and delicious. Love you mom!

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.

Wow 😍

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

You've a wonderful mom cooking everything with lots of love ❤😊 You're very lucky 😊

Love the interaction between you and your mom. More videos like this please! It would also be nice to see a video introducing common spices and sauces in a typical Japanese pantry.

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

Your mother is lovely! Thank you for sharing her with us. I hope you do have more lessons on cooking. I am a chef and always interested in broadening my horizons.

Your mother is adorable, more videos, please! 😁

We need more versions. Lunch as well as breakfast. ❤ 😊

Yes please for more recipes, I love your mum!

I would love to see more cooking and recipes from Japan. I love Japanese food but there seems to be so many steps! It’s nice to see it in the videos and makes me hungry! Thank you for your wonderful channel.

This was so fun to watch! Your Mother explained everything so well - she inspired me to try some of these ingredients and techniques.
