Akko is a real star! I hope you will continue to collaborate with her as she adds a great deal of depth to videos like this, Greg! In our household (2), I do almost all of the cooking and food shopping whilst my wife does the other chores. We walk with our dog together for about an hour a day, which gives us a chance to converse and plan our trip to Japan, whenever it opens up again. I hope it doesn't take 3 more black ships to make that happen :-)

My Mom grew up in an era where it was abnormal for a woman to have a job, instead they were the homemaker. She ended up cooking for 4 brothers and her Dad, that led to her paying her way through college with jobs in restaurants and cooking for a fraternity which is how she met my Dad. She continues to cook every meal except for a few dishes my Dad likes to make. We eat out 1 or 2 days a week.

The cute little girl got gregs eyes, she is definitely from gregs side of the family. She has a lot to learn about asian food specially rice and it always goes with another dish be it meat fish or vegetables. Im sure she will grow to love asian cuisines as they are delicious. Pointers > chopsticks are not required but are fun to use if you know how. You can drink the soup from the bowl after eating the solid parts. Also i heart japanese grilled fishes and sushi. oh and as okasan said supermarket sushi is very different from sushi from the fish market, much much fresher ^_^ thats why it always sold out

chijimi --> as a South Korean, I never knew there are Korean pancake powders sold in Japan! However, "chijimi"(찌지미) sounds like my hometown dialect(Busan). In fact, in Seoul it is called "jeon"(전).

I love watching what you prepare to eat in the morning and the evening, what restaurants to go to and how to order. The hot water springs little shops to go to on the side for desserts just hidden gems everywhere it's so fascinating I have always been intrigued with Japanese. I need to get back on studying my Japanese and for anyone out there who wants to learn another language Rosetta Stone is amazing! And hey thanks for sharing your family with us threw out the years. I've been watching ever since the what's Japanese eat for breakfast. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, and Happy New Year!

I love the grandpa's segment. Whenever he appears on camera, I just think it's so cute

My wife and I are a dual income, no kids family and we split the chores somewhere around 50/50. She cooks, I wash dishes. I clean the cats' litterboxes, she dusts.

It's very interesting to see what other people in different countries have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Where I live people usually only have bread with different toppings for dinner, could be leftover meat, cheese, sausage (big ones you cut in to slices like salami), fresh or pickled vegetables and sometimes egg. And if you eat with family they're placed on a cutting board with some forks so everyone can take some on their plate.

I had one, smaller. Unfortunately, a stint in the hospital caused it to be damaged inside beyond rescue (there was ... Food in it). My friends did not know what it was, or how it worked, so they ignored it. I've sinced bought an el cheapo rice cooker. It's fine but I miss my fancy one.

Greg, I have always been fascinated with Japan ( thanks to all the Anime i grew up watching) your channel acts as a portal to transport myself to those lovely childhood memories. Never stop showing Japan in your own unique way. Big love from India!

Wow!! This whole video was very interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing sooo many family's different dinners! I appreciate the variety.

Damn, shin really grew

14:01 OMG SHIN JUST LOOKS LIKE GREG! So cool

Hi Greg, thank you for these videos on Japanese home life. They are so interesting and neat. All that food looked delicious! My husband and I wondered if you’d do a video on the organization of Japanese kitchens. That fish roaster drawer was something we’d never seen before, for example, and it made us really curious! Thank you, and thanks to your family and friends for sharing their cooking with us! 😊

Another wonderful video. One of our early favourites was where you visited Obachan and Ojichan’s home and made Nabe (the little clip of Ojichan roasting the mackerel was from that I think). That had such a lovely warmth and happy atmosphere. We ordered a Nabe pot from Japan and now Nabe is one of our winter favourites here in Scotland. Your family have invited us into their homes and it’s a very personal look at Japanese culture that we wouldn’t otherwise get. Please pass on our appreciation. And that was Shin….good heavens….I mean I know that kids grow up….but suddenly so manly!

Thank you for including the question about the fate of the food after being placed in the shrine. I have always been curious, but not wanted to ask when I see it. Condolences to your sister-in-law’s aunt

From USA, just wanted to comment regarding household chores and cooking. The majority of women I know (who work full time outside the home) do the majority of household chores and cooking. I also think this is why convenience food and eating out is very popular.

Thank you for this wonderful series!

Enjoyed this series so much! Would u be able to show how they plan meals and grocery shop and what a typical day is like?

Your videos are always so well put together! Just love the insight - I am getting hungry now! 😋

Love these series! 😃 thank you so much for making them, I've enjoyed these videos a lot! Such a great way to get insights about the Japanese culture !

Always good to see you Greg!

Awesome video. I really enjoyed seeing the various meals and presentation as well as the preparation.

What a fun video! I learned some new things and it was extremely well produced. Keep up the great work! 😁

My husband is 65 , I am 60 my husband does 90% of the cooking. I only cook holiday meals and special dishes. We split the chores but he probably does more than I do.

I love this series please keep going!

The tempura at the beginning looks amazing! I bought a tempura pan as well so I can try out recipes during my holiday 🥰

Big thanks to you and Akko for making another great video!

Great vid. I really like the relaxed and intimate tone of this video. Very wholesome

I know how your sister feels. Also work part-time and took care of the kids, cook, clean the dishes, some house cleaning (do not like to do that much.) I often feel like because my husband works more, most of the "house" jobs fell to me. And, no, it doesn't feel "fair." From the USA

I could watch this for hours!!!! AMAZING VIDEO!! Thankyou!!

This video was really a feast to watch. So much insight into the japanese household and culture. All meals felt very refreshing and healthy. We would really appreciate some japanese food recipes to try at home. Thanks again Greg.

The quality of meat, seafood and especially produce in Japan never ceases to amaze me, and I think it contributes greatly to their overall health 👏🏻

Greg, seeing glimpses of your family life like this is so interesting for me since we have a lot in common (Canadian-Japanese culturally blended families) but of course differences as well. For one thing, your mother-in-law’s tempura looks a lot like mine’s. (Love those crunchy lotus root slices!) But in my family, I do the cooking because my wife works late, so we don’t usually eat proper Japanese food at home. (Wait…is ‘taco rice’ Japanese?)

I'm the one who cooks in my family. My wife can't cook without burning something or herself, plus my entire family on my father's side have been in the food industry their entire lives. I don't try to cater to everyone's specific likes, as I view being able to eat is in itself a blessing, so my kids are taught to finish whatever they are served and learn to like it. They still don't enjoy some types of food/ingredients, of course, but they know better than to waste it or kick up a fuss about it.

Akko's really funny! Looking forward to see her in videos more often!

Love your collaboration with your sister-in-law 👍

Wow, Greg, I just watched the interview you did with Compounding Curiosity and I found it fascinating. I really enjoyed hearing you talk about your creative process, it was really inspiring!

Low-key jealous of the niece 😂❤️ I was so enthralled with the pictures I kept forgetting to read the sub titles 😂. I'm in Canada as well, but there is no Asian market within 100km of where I live, and that makes it tough to cook Japanese dishes. Yes, I live in the northern boonies 😂. Thank you for this video! It was great to watch!

Thanks Greg, really great series! Akko is wonderful addition to your work, I'm totally crushing on her. 💕

The older uncle - nice you eat out with him . People like him worked very very hard in postwar Japan . Hope he is enjoying his retirement years.

These dinners look elaborate to me. Very nicely presented.

I’ve been waiting for this one!!! Turn it UP!!!

Its just me and my dad so I usually cook, but on my dad’s day off, he cooks. Saturdays we eat out or do takeout, which we’ve been doing a lot of since the beginning of the pandemic. I cook based on what meats I feel like having for dinner and build it from there. I try to make dinner healthy for the both of us.

I love this series! ❤️❤️❤️ Have you talked about what kinds of pets Japanese have?

Your SIL is great! Thanks for all the wonderful looking food!

For the Uncle that has trouble with cooking, I wonder if there are any free/low cost pre-made meal(Not garbage food generally) services that could help him. Stateside we have different versions. Some for low income, some for the disabled, some for specific health issues like cancer, older people, etc. Meals On Wheels is a big one. Many of the Jewish centers do this too and will also grocery shop for you. Just a thought to make his life easier. They also offer other services like a companion to stop by for a while and hang out, and more :) There must be something like this in Japan for him.

This is amazing! Love your videos 📹

I could eat tempura every day, yum! Ojichan is so adorable 🥺 I reckon cooking it’s troublesome for him as you said, I’m glad he had you guys to eat out 😊
