I hope you know that your presentation is priceless and demonstrates your amazing prowess of teaching and being considerate of other cultures yet explain so clearly the aspects of the uniqueness and complexity of Japanese culture. For a man of your age you possess tremendous potential as an educator and your writing skill is balanced and thoughtful to your audience. This short program is a perfect example of what all American children and adults could benefit tremendously from. Thank you so very much for your tireless effort. I pray your rewards will be commensurate with your work.

Enjoyed learning about the history of Japanese cuisine. I noticed that my grandmother originally from Japan but an American citizen, would arrange the food on the plate artistically which made it more appealing to eat. Thanks for sharing!

you are welcome! glad you like it!!

The one thing I love about Japanese cuisine is that they have this amazing ability to embrace both tradition and innovation. When they encountered a new ingredient, they embraced the novelty and uniqueness of it yet at the same time found ways to absorb it into their traditional preparations.

Japanese seafood cooking is also minimalistic.. Raw, grilled... No oil... 😋🤤🤤🤤👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just wanted to write and say how much this video is helping my in my culinary career, I was born and raised in the U.S, but ever since I started cooking I just have loved the presentations of Japanese foods and this video helped me understand why that is as long as what they mean when they're presented. Thank you for the video and the other videos you continue to put out.

Thank you for the video, it was very informative and easy to understand. I especially appreciate the way you explained traditional vs semi-modern vs modern, as it was very helpfull! I also appreciate the reasoning behind the health aspects of the food, it really put in perspective how this cuisine differs from my own native cuisine. Even though traditional danish cuisine has a lot of similarities to traditional japanese (lots of fish and seafood, rye, oat and barley over wheat, lots of fermented foods), I feel like we've lost this way of eating in our modern times. I definitely will be implementing more of our own traditional dishes as well as implementing a lot of these japanese dishes and ways of serving food, in my own household, since I find it just makes a lot of sence. I will also be making a lot more japanese foods, since we do enjoy this cuisine at home as well. Thank you so much for making these kinds of videos, and helping us all to cook better! Bless you! From Denmark

wow, such a compliment! i am exactly not making my video to impose japanese food/way, but to remember the importance of each own tradition/lineage. so you just nailed it!!

This is quiet possibly my favourite video on KZread. The efficiency of the way you present the information is priceless. I lived in Japan for three years and one thing that effected me the most was the Japanese food culture. I want to learn everything about Japanese food and I really try to re-create that spirit here in my country. Not just by making Japanese meals, but by adapting the whole philosophy of Japanese food culture into ingredients from my country. Your video is priceless to me, thanks a lot! Please keep making videos about the Japanese food culture and philosophies. For example, I'm very interested in the 24 seasons and how ppl cook foods according to season. I hope you can share more details on that. hontoni arigato gozaimasu!!!

Thanks for the Japanese history lesson and how food related to it. I like how you mix cooking videos with videos like this one. Please continue to create great content like this video it’s very interesting.

thanx! I try to do, what other people don't do!

Just watched again today since I was missing my Japanese girlfriend in Hawaii. We talked on the phone again as if we haven't since each other in a week. It's been 4 years. She used to send me care packages of food. I now keep the packages and shop here in Florida. Your food is VERY HEALTHY AND TASTES OSISHI. I loved the video. And you are cute

Love your videos! I am Japanese, born in the US. I thought I was somewhat knowledgeable in Japanese cuisine, but ALWAYS learn new things in your videos. Thank you!

glad my video contained something new for you! surely you know something I don't! thats how we grow together, by sharing!!

This is the type of content on Japanese food (and most food, honestly) that should be around more. More books, more videos. I love the graphic at 12:30 too, that is a perfect representation. Great job 😁

Fantastic presentation, thank you for the lesson. Fascinating. I never heard considered the melting temps of different proteins and how that may affect our bodies. I love Japanese cuisine but always found it daunting to attempt cooking any myself. Just discovered your channel last night and am inspired to try your recipes. Starting with the cucumber recipes today! Eggplant recipes will be next. Thank you for taking the time and the doing the work to share. A humble request if it’s something you make would be a video with agedashi tofu. Take care!

Japanese food ,one of the best and most healthy food. I m enjoying every week in Hawaii islands 🏝

Taiji - thank you Chef for being so sweet and educational when you present your material - i feel your joy & passion for your culture. I hope someday we become so blended and we take on more and more of Japanese philosophy of life and respect - the kind of respect that the west lacks but for the most part we are all brothers & sisters . much love & blessings for 2024 x

Thank you for sharing this very informative history of Japanese food! Your video is also valuable for those who need to be enlightened as well as be reminded again about the nutritional value and food preferences for healthier and longer life!

BEST video I've seen on teaching me. Very, very good. Thank you

thank you. your videos are always enlightening.

As someone who like to know how to write things in japanese, thanks to put all of these word with their japanese writting. It help me to remenber these one easier. As a french, food are always been an important part of my life (generaly the best part of each day), so it's not wonder that i'm digging into Japanese cuisine that much. Each region of Japan, like in France, have their own dish. And each time i will visit Japan, i will not miss the opportunity to eat local dishes.

I was born in Japan from both Filipino parents, where my father had served in the US Navy and he was stationed in Japan at that time. One of the things to do thst is in my "bucket list" is to visit my place of birth. (Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan). I heared all good things from most people that I spoke with who had visited Japan, and I am excited to experience the culture and see the country as well. Sushi is by far my favorite food. If anyone asks me where do I want to eat, everyone in my circle of family and friends kmow that my answer would be Japanese food. There is no food here in the US that I can remotely compare to Japanese food (that is of course my personal opinion). Listening to this vlog made me want to go to Japan more and hopefully soon.. Thank you for posting such an informative video.. i absilutely enjoyed it!!

Taiji, thank you so much for creating fantastic videos such as this one, with its rich historical and 和食/cuisine details. As a Japanese language and culture instructor, I have been incorporating your wonderful videos in my lessons, to further enhance my students' understanding and appreciation of Japan. Keep up the great insight! ありがとうございます。本当に感謝しています。

Hi! I'm a dietetic student from the UK and one of our coursework projects is to learn all about the Japanese culture and the cuisine. Just wanted to say how helpful this video was. Contained so much useful and really interesting information. Thank you for taking the time to create it!

Wow ...really really good and awsome content !! So well researched and very informative..love the part by part explanation ...love the food history of Japan..i'm showing this to the kids to teach them about Japanese culture and food..wish this kind of content is available for other cultures as well..it will really help the kids..Thanks a lot 😃😃😃😃

I love you Taiji! All the knowledge within this video was so soul-fulfilling that it almost made me cry. Thank you for giving us a chance to discover authentic Japanese culture and cuisine!!! Amazing work you're doing! Lots of love from Romania.

Thank you for this depth explanation. I was recently in Japan and was amazed at the quality of the food Japan has to offer with simple ingredients that are gathered from Japan. This is a gem and needs to be taken care of because it could be easily destroyed by the influence of westerns' bad habits and overuse of meat and fat/oil.

A great video thank you. I love the way Japan teaches in the schools about food, cooking, and sewing which has been pretty much dropped from schools in America. I need to eat more sardines they are in my pantry!

Great teacher. I bow to you!

Like your japanese culture and cooking. it is a great video. And I watch all your cooking, all healthy food. And thank for share. Waiting more your cooking recipes even simple but healthy , thats why I like japanese food. Also the portion is just small and delicious.

Thank you so much for this video. Really, very exciting and useful information. I so much agree with the philosophy of respecting the season and the nutritional balance. I am surprised that you learn about nourishment at school. I think every country should incorporate some kind of this in the education system. More videos like this, please! For example, I would love to learn more about Japanese tea culture. The occasion, the types of tea, the snacks. Also, I am very curious how the present global culture, the upcoming fast food consuming effects Japanese cooking. Keep on with these videos, I love every of them. Your Mille-feuille Hotpot recipe now is one of the favorite dishes and is so much on my top 10 list that started to make variations.

So informative. In the States we have Home Economics, at least my generation did (I am 47 so I am not sure if they still do). These are basic cooking, sewing, mechanical drawing, wood working, art etc classes. I think I would absolutely love eating traditional Japanese food regularly as I prefer a more clean way of eating (most of the time). Such good information. I hope one day I am blessed with the opportunity to visit Japan.

Thank you for the video brother

This was amazing, thank you very much ❤
