    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.

    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

    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 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.

    @@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.

Thank you.

    “Simplicity is an advanced course.” - Chinese proverb (if I remember correctly) You have mastered it. Drinking matcha in the igloo looks super cool and cozy. Everything looks delicious except for the first dish with raw egg. But that’s just my preference. I’ll try to shake my matcha in the way you showed it in the second option. 😊

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    Do you have diebeties already?? Carbs plus carbs+ coffee+carbs for fast bad fat production, and some potato carbs. 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.

    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)

My smoothie has banana, strawberry, mango, and some healthy supplements and seeds, blended with orange juice. That’s my favourite right now, but I switch it up a lot. I usually have black tea with oat milk, but I do enjoy matcha some days. Black tea is just quicker.

    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.
