    Him actually pronouncing "lohikeitto" perfectly caught me off guard. Like that was native level pronunciation. It's always incredibly cool to hear people pronounce Finnish stuff right, since this is a difficult language for most.

      The way my aunt used to make it is with a clear broth, no milk or cream. She was a trained line chef and was influenced by restaurant style food. My father learned from her and at our house the salmon soup was always clear. I don't mind either way but slightly prefer the clear version because the salmon taste comes through more clearly. Which ever way is fine.

    I have to say that there is some extraordinary beauty when traditional simple and humble Finnish food is served and enfused with such strong Japanese aesthetic and tradition.
    I can't explain it, but for some reason Finnish and Japanese cultures, traditions and even foods complement each other very nicely when mixed like this. One is so very humble and simple and the other is so polite and spiritual that there is almost no clash, or overlap, they just fuse together naturally.
    No wonder there's a certain kindrid spirit between our people despite the vast differences.

      The more I've made and tasted Japanese food, the more I'm convinced that there is some kind of shared base roots to make foods in both countries. Like Finnish Pulla (sweet bun) is made like Japanese Hokkaido Milk Bread, Finnish version is only more sweet. Also the use of pickled vegetables/fish dishes are so similar. The combination of dishes from both countries are just delicious.

      Also both are phonetic languages and languages are quite close to each other in general, at least in my opinion(not written one of course); meaning of the words may be vastly different, but there are some that sound exactly the same.
      Also some names, though I think genders are often swapped and in Finnish names most often don't mean anything, but have been around for some time and these days a lot of names have roots outside Finland's very own history, but have quite the Finnish twist to them, both in written and pronunciation, and of course it's because Finnish is Finnic and/or Finno-Ugric language.

      I prefer soup without carrots. Also the allspice should be whole in my opinion, it gives slighty mellowel taste. I also make own broth when cooking lohikeitto from leftovers from preparing fish (spine and head). If you want to tune up the traditional recipe, try adding little bit of fresh fennel. Fresh, not dried and ground, not the seeds. It gives very nice flavour. My little secret. 😎

      Salmon soup is one of those things where there no ”correct” recipe. It often depends on the area and the family where the recipe is coming from. Neither putting carrots or leaving them out is wrong. You can choose which way is to your liking. I personally enjoy the veri slight sweetness that the carrots add to the soup.

    Christmas rice porridge!
    Use round rice (sushi rice?), water, salt, milk. Serve with ground cinnamon and sugar and milk.
    For six servings (small) use 2,5 dl rice, 5 dl water and 1,5 - 2 tsp salt. Make in a big pot, make the water boil, and put on lowest temperature (dont rinse the rice, unless you really have too). Let simmer for 10 minutes under a lid. Then add 8-9 dl heavy milk, first on high for some bubbles, then the lowest setting again for 35-45 minutes under a lid. Maybe stir a couple of times while making. It should be thick.
    Then serve with traditional cinnamon and sugar, topped with milk, or milk on the side.

      Salmon wasn't big thing in Finland before the seventies when we started to get Norwegian salmon to our stores, it was mainly baltic herring/(strömming) we ate and common lake fishes iirc and I bet that was the case in Sweden, too, of course you guys were more well off back then, but I bet that Norwegian trade might have made that more possible for you guys also. For the likability of the dish in Japan, I'd say that Japanese have really good understanding of the ingredients. The food isn't "hot and spicy", it's more bringing about the flavours of different ingredients.

    When my grandma used to make lohikeitto, she would use Knorr Aromat instead of regular salt, and she put the salmon in with the skin. If you don't like the skin, it is easily peeled off of the cooked salmon. When my dad makes lohikeitto, he often puts in rutabaga as well. Also, it's common to use leeks instead of regular white onion. In Finland, you can just buy "keittojuurekset", which will include carrot, leek, rutabaga and parsnip. I find that the whole allspice peppercorns in the soup are nice, because biting into one adds a small but strong bit of spice to that spoonful of soup.
    You did a great job, and you picked a very good dish to make. Lohikeitto is just about as Finnish as it gets. It's simple, but tasty. It's a family meal, and it's great for cold weather.

    Nothing like hot salmon soup on a cold day as comfort food. Simplicity in seasonings gives room for veggies and salmon to bring in their own flavor.

    As a finn I loved this video!
    Finnish food is simple but tasty for a reason and its because Finland is one of the most northern countries. The whole history of Finland has been rough and there has been food shortages a lot so people have to get food somewhere so many foods are easy to make and doesnt need much of anything, and most of the ingedients are usually easy to grow or obtain like potatoes for example.
    Troughout modern finnish history the food culture has improved a lot.

    I normally use leek in stead of onion so I can bypass the whole sauteeing step! Just add chopped leek in the water and bring to a boil. In case someone wants to save themselves like... Two minutes 😂
    And I've never used allpice, just white pepper! So I learned something today, will try that next time we make lohikeitto!
    Overall, well done! 🙏

    Looks delicious.
    In a long version you first seperate meat and poach remains ot the fish (bones, skin, head, etc) few hours in the water to make a bouillon. Use more water than a recipe say.
    Strain off remains from the water before using the water to the soup.
    You can also poach the dry skin of the onion and other vegetable parts you don't want to eat with fish remains to get more flavour and nutrients.
    In Finland the allspice is usually whole berries, not crushed.

    I dont recall eating much salmon here in Finland until 1990's. One guy in neighbouring farm did have a stream and a pond where he grew salmon. After Norwegian salmon appeared into market it really drop the price levels of salmon and for me I have replaced "red meat" with salmon in my diet.
    I usually do the soup just boiling potatoes, carrots, turnips, onion, leek all chopped into rather small pieces like 1 cm cubes at max. Then I add milk and the fish. Cream I usually don't use as salmon is very oily and cream kills the taste. The soup is read when the salmon cubes change color and it bubbles couple of time. Salt I also use very sparingly as finnish habit of adding salt everywhere is not sensible, though we cannot argue about matters of taste.
    Same recipe goes with cod. But as cod is pretty dry fish for my taste, I have experienced using cream, and different vegetable oils. My older family members tends to do freswater fishing as hobby and we often use 'muikku' as it is also quite tasty and can used in many ways. Just remember to skin it to avoid gout like issues. Oishii!

    As a Finn: great work! I would have preferred fresh rye bread with the soup personally but I guess it's hard to find that in Japan. I think you could bake some "saaristolaisleipä" if you can find some rye flour, Valio seems to have a pretty simple receipe but it still takes 4 hours. That's not a small task so it might be a good idea to bake the bread one day and make the soup the next day. The "saaristolaisleipä" should be okay to keep in a fridge for a day or two.

    Nice simple way of making the soup. Two improvement ideas: the stems of the dill could be boiled with the veggies to have dill taste in the broth, and discarded before service. Also one could make a quick fish sock out of the skins. More taste, less waste.

    One thing you could definately make with the family is "karjalanpiirakka", karelian pastries. They have a rye crust and buttery rice pudding inside. They are served with egg butter (mixing hard boiled eggs and butter). There are many delicious, simple Finnish traditional foods, but I mention this because you have the child in the family, and I think making the pastries by hand would be a lovely family activity. They are also mild enough that children will love them, as long as you don't bake the crusts too hard for their teeth - though it's also fun for kids to fight past the hard crust to get to the soft inside 😂
    If you want a dish that looks a bit exotic but is also very delicious and traditional, I would recommend "mämmi". I don't know of a translated name for it, but it's kind of a malted, toasted rye pudding. It's made from rye flour, rye malt and water, and flavoured with a bit of salt and bitter orange peels, and sometimes with brown syrup. The finished mämmi is eaten with heavy cream, and sometimes with sugar if desired. It looks like, well, poop, but it has a delicious malty taste and a soft texture somewhere between porridge and pudding.

    FYI: I would not sautee the potatoes and carrots as they might get hard outer shell. Also I'd switch some of the onion with red onion, green onion, spring onion and/or leak, mainly just to add color.
    As for what next I'd suggest Karjalanpaisti (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelian_hot_pot) and serve it with smashed or boiled potatoes.
