I thought that uncle lives alone because he never got married but hearing that his wife passed this year makes me so sad 😭 Luckily he still has his/your family that spends time with him
i love how they always show respect to the loved ones that passed away.

"So it's not me?" *Greg looks away* HAHAHAHA I nearly fainted 🤣 Not gonna lie, I really love and am super jealous of how the Japanese traditionally have many dishes at the same time. I wish I had that.
It's taken me almost an hour to watch this video because I keep pausing and googling the names of dishes to find recipes. Thanks for the great video, Greg!
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 :-)
Wait. Akko has 3 kids, works and still makes dinner for her family? 👏👏👏 Also, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you in Japan and elsewhere. ❄⛄🎄🎁🎅
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!
Imperial Japanese navy sinks Russian Pacific fleet for the fourth time! Banzai! Spirit of Yamato! Japan sizes Northern Islands, Kamchatka, and Shlakalin. Japan borders with USA Alaska! Godzilla has awaken!
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.
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).
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
All the food looked great! I wish I could have some of those dishes sometime. Your niece is so cute, complaining about everything but at least she is eating it. You know it's good if the children eat it! Your sister-in-law, even though she doesn't like to cook her food looks great also. I hope she was not getting intoxicated. Love the ending, big smiles...
I've always been terrified of finding bones in fish after watching my grandfather choke on some (he was fine, spat them up like a pro 😂). But in my last hospital stay, I was served cod, and really liked it.
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
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!
Thanks for another great video. I've enjoyed the whole series. Your sister in law has a great sense of humour 🤣😂. I'm the main cook in our home. My husband works long days whilst I'm at home. We share chores when he's off work and he also cooks on his off days.
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.
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!
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.
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.
You should do one on what Japanese eat for Christmas. I think I saw that it's KFC, and there's some interesting story about that. Wishing you and your family the best for Christmas, and hopefully we'll all be over this Covid thing next year once and for all. So draining... Thanks for your videos keeping my spirts up through the year. Hope it works for you as well.
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! 😊
Very educational. I thought it was weird every restaurant I ate at in Tokyo seemed to have small portions of vegetables compared to what I am used to in North America
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 😊
I mean as a Chinese myself, I can tell you that when you translate it in English, it is called sticky rice, even jf it isn't what most South East Asians think. Because if you cook jasmine rice with a little bit more water, it is stickier, which many people prefer.
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
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.
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.
I love all these videos so much! Your sister in law is such a lovely lady! I wish I could know her in real life. I have been incorporating Japanese food into my home and my children and husband are so happy.
My spouse has no cooking skill, so that is one of my chores (since I enjoy it!). He'd be happy eating a frozen dinner every night. I love seeing what you eat in an average day - so interesting and informative. Tonight I am making rice and a red lentil curry. Easy and delicious.
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?)
@@organizedchaos4559 I would say it's mainly cultural diffusion. Korean culture and their cuisines really spreaded around the globe for the past couple of years
@@per698 there’s a lot of Japanese inspired dishes in Korea too but some won’t admit it. There’s a guy I know that will not admit kimbap came from maki sushi or taiyaki is not Korean but Japanese. 😐
Greg was born to be a filmmaker. He could take the most boring topic and make it enthrallingly interesting. Search for his documentary of the guy that owns the Ramen shop.
My most-wished to eat menu was Akko-San’s Obasan/Aunt’s! And, secretly, tuna sashimi is my least-favorite! (Somehow, I really prefer tuna cooked! I think it’s strange when you compare how much I like other fish with a “raw” sushi preparation.) the table she set just looked delicious, and I want to try relaxing near that heater and eating roasted sweet potatoes, too! 🍠✨☺️ she gives a real “true pro of home-cooking/meals feeling!” Thanks to everyone for sharing their meals. And to Greg and Akko-San for their work as well. I enjoyed it a lot!!!
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.
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! I was a little surprised when I learned how "famous" you are, I have never payed attention to your subscribership or the amount of views you get on your videos. You've always made you channel so welcoming and are often interactive in the comments. I never knew that I was talking to a famous person ;) haha! Keep up the good work creating excellent content, telling a story, and making breathtaking, fun, and interesting videos. And no, we aren't "just being nice" ;) You are an artist and we are here for it!
I've enjoyed these videos. Thank you. My family is just me and my husband. He is still,working, but I'm retired. We do a lot of take-out for dinner. Simple meals might be sandwiches (he makes really good grilled cheese) or a stew. I've been learning to cook Japanese food since we visited in 2019. I like to cook yakiudon, gyudon, okonomiyaki, and teriyaki salmon best. I've tried to make tempura, but I don't do it well. Sushi, I leave to the professionals (but I wish it was better).
Our household is like Akko's. My husband since 2020 Covid helps with grocery shopping & cooking dinner but not the prepping or cleaning. My husband & eldest son eat the same dishes. I have red meat & veges, sometimes with rice. Youngest son is a picky eater so he gets a different meal. It's tiresome but at least I have help now. I love Akko's red jumper.
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.
I’m doing Keto right up to my trip to Japan, but it’s often hard here to make a variety of meals without carbs, so seeing that dinner made with sashimi and veggies is a wonderful idea!
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.
Oh my goodness, I love this channel and always look forward to new videos.. I aim to go back to Japan and continuing my studies of Japanese, hopefully within the next yr or two.. In the meantime, I’m gonna keep living vicariously through wonderful channels like this one ❤️ ! みなさん、こんにちは! がんばりましょうね〜♪♪!!
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.
The circle is complete, we have a breakfast, lunch, and now what Japanese really eat for dinner video.

First to comment from Nigeria
Fix the description, it mentions Lunch not Dinner! Great series.
@@fpsColton Thanks, done!
I have enjoyed this series so much, Greg 🧡
More Akko. Love your sister-in-law. She's so sweet and has a lovely stealthy humour.
Right?? I was like... daaaaayyyyyyyyyym
Yesssss!!! More Akko-san
Salt of the Earth. Not sure if that translates into Japanese. 🤷♂️
Akko is the real life version of Kobayashi-san 😄🍺
"A lovely stealthy humour" - you hit the nail on the head! Akko is great!
I thought that uncle lives alone because he never got married but hearing that his wife passed this year makes me so sad 😭 Luckily he still has his/your family that spends time with him
This whole series is great. I'd like to also see folks eat for holiday meals, and not just a bucket of KFC.
We're going to film over New Year's, so yes, we'll have that.
Like a certain someone
But a Christmas tradition is a bucket of kfc
KFC is delicious though 🙂
@Epic Arwarawrawrawr A lot of Japanese do lol. There's so many that you have to prebook your KFC feast in Japan to get some
i love how they always show respect to the loved ones that passed away.
"So it's not me?" *Greg looks away* HAHAHAHA I nearly fainted 🤣
Not gonna lie, I really love and am super jealous of how the Japanese traditionally have many dishes at the same time. I wish I had that.
Those fishing for compliments must be put in their place! :DDDD
But seriously Akko is great in her own way
It's a pretty good call and response joke
It's taken me almost an hour to watch this video because I keep pausing and googling the names of dishes to find recipes. Thanks for the great video, Greg!

As a Japanese, my favorite Japanese food is gyoza. It has a lot of nutrition.
I'm not Japanese, but I absolutely love gyoza.
Imperial Japanese navy sinks Russian Pacific fleet for the fourth time! Banzai! Spirit of Yamato! Japan sizes Northern Islands, Kamchatka, and Shlakalin. Japan borders with USA Alaska! Godzilla has awaken!
hey is it true that people eat like that everyday as a normal meals?!

Wow Shin has grown up so much. I feel so old now.
It didn’t even strike my mind that the boy was Shin at first!
He’s really grown a lot!
When Greg deadpanned and looked down when SIL shaded her own cooking 😂 sense of humor
I love the grandpa's segment. Whenever he appears on camera, I just think it's so cute
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).

07:32 Obasan says they eat simple dinners. Then proceeds to plate delicious fresh tuna sashimi beautifully for dinner.
Doesn't have to be complicated to be beautiful.
I love this look into the meals people eat. As someone with celiac, traveling and eating traditional foods can be difficult.
This is so lovely! I love the care that they put in every meal.

The tempura at the beginning looks amazing! I bought a tempura pan as well so I can try out recipes during my holiday 🥰
Whoa, when Shin was looking down I thought it was Greg. The kids have grown so much!
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?
13:41 Zojirushi rice maker, always a good gift to folks outside of Japan

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

Wow!! This whole video was very interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing sooo many family's different dinners! I appreciate the variety.
Akko's really funny! Looking forward to see her in videos more often!
Very educational. I thought it was weird every restaurant I ate at in Tokyo seemed to have small portions of vegetables compared to what I am used to in North America
The Akko videos are my very favorites! I hope you keep making them with her.
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 😊
Someone needs to tell your niece that is not sticky rice. She was eating normal rice. I love your sister-in-law, Akko!
I mean as a Chinese myself, I can tell you that when you translate it in English, it is called sticky rice, even jf it isn't what most South East Asians think. Because if you cook jasmine rice with a little bit more water, it is stickier, which many people prefer.
I'm a white Australian. To Westerners, there are two kinds of rice. Fried rice and boiled rice.
What a fun video! I learned some new things and it was extremely well produced. Keep up the great work! 😁
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 !
Your SIL is great! Thanks for all the wonderful looking food!
Thank you for your awesome content! See you next year 🥰
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 👏🏻
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
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.

I love this series please keep going!
Your son looks like he’s turning into a fine young man! I noticed quite a few families added Korean dishes. Are they common/popular?
I mean Japan has a decent size Korean population and from Japan’s colonization of Korea, I will say they absorb some of the culture.
check out the map. they are literally one strait apart from each other.
@@organizedchaos4559 I would say it's mainly cultural diffusion. Korean culture and their cuisines really spreaded around the globe for the past couple of years
Well, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Japanese home that doesn’t have kimchi in the fridge. (We certainly do!)
@@per698 there’s a lot of Japanese inspired dishes in Korea too but some won’t admit it. There’s a guy I know that will not admit kimbap came from maki sushi or taiyaki is not Korean but Japanese. 😐

Wow the foods looks so good. I never try authentic Japanese food before. It's to expensive in my country. But I can imagine how the taste.
I've enjoyed these videos. Thank you. My family is just me and my husband. He is still,working, but I'm retired. We do a lot of take-out for dinner. Simple meals might be sandwiches (he makes really good grilled cheese) or a stew. I've been learning to cook Japanese food since we visited in 2019. I like to cook yakiudon, gyudon, okonomiyaki, and teriyaki salmon best. I've tried to make tempura, but I don't do it well. Sushi, I leave to the professionals (but I wish it was better).
Our household is like Akko's. My husband since 2020 Covid helps with grocery shopping & cooking dinner but not the prepping or cleaning. My husband & eldest son eat the same dishes. I have red meat & veges, sometimes with rice. Youngest son is a picky eater so he gets a different meal. It's tiresome but at least I have help now. I love Akko's red jumper.
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.
Damn, shin really grew
Big thanks to you and Akko for making another great video!
Awesome! This gives me great ideas, thanks for this video.
If you make ramen, make a big batch of stock to store.
Thank you, I enjoyed watching and learning about Japanese culture.
I’m doing Keto right up to my trip to Japan, but it’s often hard here to make a variety of meals without carbs, so seeing that dinner made with sashimi and veggies is a wonderful idea!
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.
Oh my goodness, I love this channel and always look forward to new videos.. I aim to go back to Japan and continuing my studies of Japanese, hopefully within the next yr or two.. In the meantime, I’m gonna keep living vicariously through wonderful channels like this one ❤️ !
みなさん、こんにちは! がんばりましょうね〜♪♪!!
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.
Beautiful warm hearted lovely people.
