I think steaming is why you are getting molding. Ninja probably would have eaten these like hardtack, by popping them in their mouth and letting them soak. Wet food adds weight, causes spoilage, and is difficult to carry.
How quietly can you eat one? (Btw, its said just one is meant to be a meal with water, 3 a day, max for a typical ninja, maybe four for someone 5'9" or taller). Also, at the very end, you reminded me of Anton Ego from Ratatouille - it would be so cool/fun if you did a Ninja foodie episode mimicking him n.n - Also, I wanted to suggest that you add pure cacao nibs from either Hawaii (preferred) or Brazil, finely grained and powdered. They add a little bitterness to counter the sweet, and much more importantly, are packed with magnesium which counters a lot of body odor produced in the intestine.
I've seen different versions of these, though they are sometimes smaller..maybe for ease of transport of more than a few. This is the first time I've seen them be of a larger more traditional size like ones I've read about. Another great video that's easy to understand.
Hey bro! Does this shit work?! Did you shred up while taking this? I'm watching a documentary about ninjas and it said that they would survive off of this food. I'm thinking I might try a month on this stuff. I'd liked to ask you a few more questions.
jj that's one big pill they look like donuts whole so how they teas in this day age you could make in brink form cut in little squires thumb up bro great video
Hi JJ mum. Sister or girl. Man don't fuck with ginsing. Its strong. And suger is to bond it. And no health issues back then. But yes. You did the right thing. With what you can get. Great video. And yes deb mash potato is to. Army style packaged mash. Is crashed junk food chips. (Crisps)
+Jacob Belanio Productions yes, they can go moldy like over night. You can freeze them and then thaw to eat, or I have dehydrated them and simply boil or steam them again to make them edible once more. But they are never like right out of the oven after all that.
+Robert Daigle : 2 or 3 a day. But that is like "rationing" I assume you could eat a few more, but I noticed that when I ate them, they did expand in the stomach and made a very "full" feeling. SO I assume too many would cause cramps.
+Luke Finlayson I uses sticky calrose rice so it would make nice rice balls, just got it from the common grocery store, its the other seeds that I had to mail order from china :P
kinda funny that you used fresh yam and powdered ginseng, while I did the opposite >.< I also didn't have the means to powder my rice, I did them solid and the boiling process softened them a little; something I want to change next time.
+Luke Finlayson Well instead of turning to brown sugar, there is a healthier alternative that is actually better and I think MEANT for this recipe, that is 'Japanese black sugar' I have no idea if honey would work as well, it might goo up the portions. ...
Its info/ a recipe direct from a 1600 Samurai text. Cant beat that and is FAR from the whole "fake " game. Nice try, and thanks. even with pure clean foods , there will ALWAYS be a body odor,,,,the true shinobi tricks were how they covered that up. ;)
I'd rather buy that ninja "cookbook", but does it have recipes for suikatsugan and kikatsugan as well?
I think steaming is why you are getting molding. Ninja probably would have eaten these like hardtack, by popping them in their mouth and letting them soak. Wet food adds weight, causes spoilage, and is difficult to carry.
They can be boiled on site to make a nicer meal for you OR horses . ;)
Many ways to quickly prep food on battle field.
I love it! I can visualize it really easy thanks to your video. Step one: I need a shopping list. Great work, JJ.

Yes they taste like cinnamon and sugar flavor. Just dry that's all. but overall they do taste good.
it seems like the info of the book was incepted and you cracked the code well done shinobi.
Thank you for your video! It really help me in order to cook my hyorogan.
he making enough for an army lol
the ninja's diet is not about being noticed it is about being thin enough to move faster than your opponent

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing JJ!
Hi I really like your video is easy to understand but wanted to know if you could pass the written prescription and in advance thank you very much
Next, make a version of Ninja Pemmican. Higher fat and protein content is just as important as carbohydrate!
WAY too much ginseng . trust your sources
+Roshi Neel I did end up reducing the ginseng, true that. (Y)
Excellent video John.

where can i buy the lotus seed and the jobs tears? im from mexico!!! thanks. And how many are needed to make a day?
he aint seen how much rice he gonna make hahahah . that lot of rice
Amazon .com its all there.
Do you think it would hurt to use saki instead of water?
Yes. Just water mate. With sake the shelf life would go down as well. Plus might not dehydrate well if that is intended also...
+John Johnson thank you very much!
Some recipes require horse blood. I wonder why?
Protein, iron, and vitamin A or E one of those two. Also heard fish blood was also used too.
How many calories do you get in each pill?
Hey these don't go bad or anything right? Does it need to be refrigerated or any thing? Please reply!
+Jacob Belanio Productions yes, they can go moldy like over night.
You can freeze them and then thaw to eat, or I have dehydrated them and simply boil or steam them again to make them edible once more.
But they are never like right out of the oven after all that.
+John Johnson thanks!
Hey you said i can freeze them, but can I just keep them in the fridge?
Dont know, never tried it.... try ,, give me feed back,,,
How many according to tradition did they eat a day ?
+Robert Daigle :
2 or 3 a day. But that is like "rationing" I assume you could eat a few more, but I noticed that when I ate them, they did expand in the stomach and made a very "full" feeling. SO I assume too many would cause cramps.
Is there a substitution for the glutinous rice? Im allergic to gluten :(
Just buy a fucking granola bar.
Yummy.
Where did you buy your rice from?
+Luke Finlayson I uses sticky calrose rice so it would make nice rice balls, just got it from the common grocery store, its the other seeds that I had to mail order from china :P
kinda funny that you used fresh yam and powdered ginseng, while I did the opposite >.<
I also didn't have the means to powder my rice, I did them solid and the boiling process softened them a little; something I want to change next time.
ill what this for now , but once i see something thats fails, won't say anything
what are the mames of the books?
THis particular rec. is From Antony Cummins's book 'In Search of the Ninja'
There are more found in the 'Book of Ninja' / Bansenshukai.
What's the ginseng for?
Added properties of improved circulation, keeping blood pressure at bay etc.
Many fine attributes Ginseng adds ;)
+John Johnson Thanks. I would lose to see more vids of this nature, as I have an interest in rations, and food preservation, from ancient times :) .
we make similar and its called "zoom balls"we also use raw dried ginsengmuch respect Ninja
Got milk?
Do you actually have to use suguar or could you use honey instead?
+Luke Finlayson Well instead of turning to brown sugar, there is a healthier alternative that is actually better and I think MEANT for this recipe, that is 'Japanese black sugar'
I have no idea if honey would work as well, it might goo up the portions. ...
Yuumm
when ninja made food they only made things without any scent so they can't be tracked, this is fake.
Its info/ a recipe direct from a 1600 Samurai text. Cant beat that and is FAR from the whole "fake " game.
Nice try, and thanks. even with pure clean foods , there will ALWAYS be a body odor,,,,the true shinobi tricks were how they covered that up. ;)
