I really enjoyed your video! Thank you! I am going to incorporate these habits into my daily eating. I really enjoyed the way you explained everything. 😊
Thank you so much for this video! Me and my wife came back from tokyo and the small portions actually helped us big time. Now coming back to the states we are eating smaller and enjoying not being so full all the time 🫶🏼
Healthy snacks that are good: Prepared cooked sweet potato Cut up honeydew melon/cantalope Pumpkin seeds/almonds/ walnuts Dried seaweed (high in b12) Berries can serve with unsweetened yogurt and top with honey and hemp seeds (can find at Trader Joe’s and Costco) Smoothie made of coconut milk or yogurt, berries, 1-2 handfuls of leafy baby greens, hemp seeds, honey I also love to just have cold brew or iced americano, can add milk or no milk. This may be considered a meal or can be a snack in between meals but white rice with sardines and a bit of soy sauce is very good and quick if you have prepared rice.
Thank you. I have just been told I have type 2 diabetes. I eat very little fast food and meat but I love sweet. I will try and make ´japanes´ breakfast from your ideas.
Thanks for your comment! Along with Japanese cuisine, traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi) are almost fat-free, so they might help you improve your health without adding any stress :)✨🍡
Never mind, I just found it on your channel! I loooooooooooveeee soy eggs! ua-cam.com/users/shortsGLbLMxt-kFY?si=fL7Anqi4PTWaWv5j PS for anyone interested, when im in a hurry, I just cut my boiled eggs open, and drop a splash of soy sauce right in the yolk. It gives you that same marinated soy sauce taste!
@@Akane_Kato I just made them, didn't have spring onion but just used soy, rice vinegar and some (preboiled) water with sesame seeds. Delish and so convenient when you crave a snack. Making another one right now for tomorrow!
Hi, I loved your video!! What would you recommend to a person who doesn't eat fish at all? I've been to Tokyo last week but couldn't enjoy any fish. I wasn't raised eating them.. Is there any other good substance? Thank you. Keep it up❤
Thank you for your lovely comment❤ In Japan, many dishes use soybeans similarly to fish. Tofu, edamame, and natto are excellent sources of protein. You might try incorporating these into your diet😊
Can I ask how long you keep your steamed sweet potatoes in the fridge? After I saw your video I got super enthusiastic about a rice cooker and bought one, haha, because I have major issues eating properly. The second 'recipe' I made was steamed sweet potato (because I saw you do it and I love sweet potatoes but hardly ever make them), which I then let cool off and wrapped them like I saw you do in the video and put them in the fridge. Now I realized it would be wise for me to check for how long they can be refrigerated and people tend to say for maximum 2 days. But since you say you make a lot of them at once I can't imagine they only last for 2 days with you. Do they? I made them yesterday morning (Tuesday morning for me) and was hoping to use the remaining ones for lunch on Friday and Saturday, which would make 4 days. Or should I make them every other day? Do you? I hope you can help, if you have time:) Thank you so much for this video by the way, my eating habits have already changed a lot in only a week time (I ordered the rice cooker last week). Funny though, I was looking at some matcha videos last week and bought some, and apparently UA-cam was like 'oh look, I have more videos for you on Japanese habits!' Haha. I was happy UA-cam thought so! Oh and by the way, in the video you mention a pdf with rice cooker recipes. I can't seem to find it. I've downloaded your several pdf's (thank you for those!) and don't see them. Am I missing something? Have a lovely day! 🩷
I wonder if you could make a video about what women in japan typically or are recommended to eat while pregnant or trying to conceive. Is sushi really ok? Thank you!!! ❤
Sorry for the delay! Here’s the recipe for you. Hope you enjoy making it😊 1. Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp cooking sake, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 tsp grated garlic in the rice cooker bowl. 2. Add one chicken breast (frozen is okay) skin-side down. 3. Cover with aluminum foil and start the regular rice cooking cycle. Optional: Add boiled eggs and keep on warm for 10 min after cooking✨
I don't pre-cut my vegetables cause I cut them in different sizes and shapes depending on the type of dish I'm cooking. So, I just wash them and put them in different containers. As for meat, I would wrap them up in parchment paper instead of cellophane wrap to reduce plastic waste, and store them in containers too. Thanks for the healthy eating tips!
I'd add optional hack - adding protein shake helps to control hunger and also can increases metabolism. Moreover, it prevents muscle loss on lower caloric diet. Muscle loss decreases BMR which basically means your body will burn less calories during day. You can find even whole food sources of protein powders like chlorella and spirulina (though it tastes pretty bad). Other options are pea protein, maybe soy protein isolate. You can just add it to fruit/vegetable smoothie. Serving of protein powder (usually scoop added in package) provides around 20-25g of additional protein.
@@Akane_Kato There's this theory in dietary science that hunger hormone will be elevated in the body until you satisfy adequate protein intake. So, in other words, body will not feel satisfied and seek for more food until it gets enough proteins. Adding 20-25g of protein to diet in form of protein shake might be like difference between day and night for people who are trying to control calories and lose weight. By the way, parchment paper and microwave is good hack. Lots of calories in diet can come from kitchen oils. 1 tablespoon of kitchen oil has 120kcal. If you use 2-3 tablespoons for frying, you're adding 360kcal to your meal. It's huge. Avoiding frying can be key factor to maintain or lose weight.
@Akane_Kato my mom who wrote that earlier fell asleep, this is her son talking at the moment! Thanks so much for responding to my mom, she really did enjoy your video!! Talked to me about it!
May I know where is the pdf for more healthy recipes? I only see a link and that leads me to a form to fill in my email. That makes me wonder if you are trying to sell any thing or membership? I do not want to subscribe to any more things as I'm trying to declutter my email lists and life!
Thank you for your comment, and sorry for the confusion. I’m currently updating the FREE PDF, GIFT and a new version will be available by the weekend! :)
@@Akane_Kato It's safe for humans but it drains the food of its nutritions as other studies were able to prove. Thank you for the video though, we just came back from Japan =)

Healthy snacks that are good:
Prepared cooked sweet potato
Cut up honeydew melon/cantalope
Pumpkin seeds/almonds/ walnuts
Dried seaweed (high in b12)
Berries can serve with unsweetened yogurt and top with honey and hemp seeds (can find at Trader Joe’s and Costco)
Smoothie made of coconut milk or yogurt, berries, 1-2 handfuls of leafy baby greens, hemp seeds, honey
I also love to just have cold brew or iced americano, can add milk or no milk.
This may be considered a meal or can be a snack in between meals but white rice with sardines and a bit of soy sauce is very good and quick if you have prepared rice.
Thank you for sharing the healthy eating habits of the Japanese culture. We Americans can certainly learn a thing or two from you all.
