This is how my Japanese wife eats super cheap in a day, less $2 per meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Before I showed what My Japanese wife eats typically eats in a day, but this time I wanted share how she is able to do it on a budget for an entire day. This is a day in a Japanese woman's life in Japan when eating all alone when trying to save money. As a Japanese mother it is sometimes difficult to eat these meals as she has to consider what the rest of the family wants to eat, but when she is by herself, sometimes she can in Japan inexpensively. My Japanese wife, Maiko, born and raised in Japan, and the mother of our 2 and half year old son. First she cooks rice, as it’s one of the best ways in Japan to save, while also satisfying her stomach, as one bowl costs only about 20-30 cents. Luckily, Japanese are so passionate about their rice, including my wife, that many rice cookers can uniquely adapt to 40 different rice brands and can also be programmed for the desired result such as moistness and firmness, which allow her to eat a satisfying dish at a great price.

Naw you doin too much. You just tryna see her cheeks
I love her smile as she sits quietly with your whispered commentary. It's fun to watch because Maiko is not usually this quiet in a normal video. It feels like you two are making a lighthearted commentary.
It’s so different to the way I cook as a westerner. I can not imagine cooking such tiny and delicate dishes. Even for my family of 5, I usually cook way too much. I’ve always unintentionally been a bulk cooker, but our freezer is so tiny I’m trying to change and cook more reasonable portions that people will actually eat. But I like the idea of bulk cooking and not having to cook every single individual meal! Especially when you’re busy and have a family.
I love how she can make the meal looks so fancy yet it’s so cheap 💗
Cooking cheap and yet tasty meal is already a super skill, but being able to arrange it so nicely? I can only dream about that level of cooking. Big respect
Can you do an updated video on what Wolfe eats in a day or throughout the week? I loved seeing how she prepped his food in the beginning. Now that I have my own 1 year old, it would be nice to be inspired for new cooking ideas.
I love the way she cooks, simple and fast. She washed the dishes right way, amazing.
Paolo you are a lucky man to have a such smart and ingenious wife. It is not easy making a tasty meal at such an inexpensive price. I remember my own mother (she is in heaven now) who used to cook white rice and eat it with sardines and kimchi*. I myself will make 7 or 8 soy sauce eggs (like the ones used in ramen) and my wife will eat one of those with her breakfast. This was a great episode Paolo!

Thanks for sharing your wife meals… it’s amazing to see how many variations of the rice dish that was made.
Maiko must have lots of fun helping with these food-centric videos because she gets to eat :) Great video!
I was confused for a second when "breakfast" icon came on for the dinner part. Minor detail in a very awesome video. Maybe next time we can also have what Paolo eats in a day!
Another great video! Thank you for letting us follow you around in your kitchen! I would watch 100 more of these videos!
Go, Maiko! 😃😃😃😃You are a true food artist! The meals are so incredibly prepared and interesting!
I would LOVE to see how she grocery shops for the week to get an idea of how she meal-preps!
I want this to become a series. ❤❤❤
Hi Palolo I love watching your day in the life. Also watching your family trips. Keep up the great work!!
This video was so chill. Love it. 💯🤙🏾
I imagine David Attenborough is like this when he is at home observing and narrating himself doing daily things 😄❤ Love it none the less. I will have to try more Japanese recipes, the Tarako Spaghetti meal looks simple but delicious (I love Roe).
The first seconds after the intro I felt like watching a national geographic documentary, like, here you see a wild Maiko in its natural habitat.😂 But loved the video, thanks for the insight!
Awesome video as always Paolo. The food you show on your channel looks so delicious it makes me hungry just watching your videos.
I have always loves your mom day in the life videos and anything with your wife... I have always loved the idea of you doing different types of family day in the lives like maybe dads and mums and working parents or single mom's and dads ect. I just love the idea of seeing how many different japanese families operate
Love this video! Now, I want to make her dishes at home. Now, we need a Maiko cooking show!!! I would love to learn how to make quick and easy and yet delicious Japanese meals. Thanks.
