@@SamuraiMatcha 01:05. "Average lifespan" is an often misunderstood concept. It's an *average.* It means that you take everybody who died in one time period (let's say, a year), note their ages, add all the numbers, divide them for the amount of people who died, and get 37 - *because most of them died in infancy.* That's why most "average lifespans" from times past (without vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, etc. but plenty of diseases) was so short. *It does not mean* that at age 37 most people dropped dead or that someone who was 75 was seen as if he were Methuselah. Check the concepts of mode, median, and mean (aka average). You are taking the mean for the mode.
Thank you Aki, I'm going to buy the Matcha to hopefully replace the morning caffeine boost. Can you please do a short video on how to make Matcha for beginners? 🙏💚
Yes!! And please include water temperature, how to measure matcha powder accurately and the matcha powder to liquid. You know how US people like their lattes large. You can use 20 oz of plant milk to give as example : )
@@HolisticTake milk destroys the benefits of tea/matcha. Use only nondairy milk if you must make it into a latte to maintain the benefits. Matcha is best consumed plain. There are tons of YT videos on preparing matcha.
@@HolisticTake 👍 perfect! I don't want you to miss out on all it's benefits 💙 I use coconut milk or soy for matcha lattes when I have them on occasion. But I drink at least 1 cup of matcha plain in the morning, which is how I prefer it. I also drink 1-2 cups of green or white tea a day. As well as 2-3 cups of rooibas and herbal teas.
You are so positive! ☀️Sometimes, I watch your videos when I'm feeling down just to feel better! Thank you so much for your useful information and spreading positivity!
a s a brewer I am pleased that most foods mentioned are fermented. this is reason why we must consume more fermented foods. I make sour bread, natto and hot sauce.
Umoboshi I remember my mother ate those and shared with me sometimes 😃. Thank you for your Japanese super foods. I do drink miso but not yet nato. Keep well and happy. 🙏
I'm so happy to hear you will curate matcha and make your own brand. I trust that you will give us quality and affordable matcha. I gave you my contact but wanted to remind you. Don't forget to also make available the wisk, bowl (glass and ceramic), wisk, and stand. I can't wait 🎉
Absolutely well done video. I actually consume some of these aliments outside of Japan and I like it (Miso, natto and matcha), sadly I dont used to consume them every day. But umeboshi and amazake are a great discovery. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video! I love both misosoup and natto ! Two of my favourites. Can't live without it , it's superhealthy and yummy😊 My breakfast is usually rice with natto, soy sauce and ginger , and of course misosoup
good morning I adore you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ greetings from Italy ❤️❤️ ❤️ in Italy unfortunately we can't find any of these foods but when I find your Japanese delicacies in supermarkets such as salmon and nori seaweed and basmati rice I always cook them and I feel happier with your foods❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love you thanks for this beautiful channel
3:59 Yes! That's because since it's fermented, the bacteria did part of the digestion for us, so it's very easy to absorb. Fermented foods are amazing, not only very nutritive dense but also really good for our microbiota, I'm becoming more and more fascinated by the topic everyday. No wonder why japanese people are so healthy with the ammount of fermented foods they have
Looking forward to your own matcha brand😊 Always love to watch your vlog. You emit so much positivity just by the way you talk and there's always a thing to learn in your vlog 👏🏻
Great video! I love all 6 of them. I’m not Japanese but I eat natto and drink matcha every day. I swear they contribute to my good health and radiant skin! looking forward to “samurai matcha”!
Your pronunciation was great. Many native English speakers would have struggled with some of those words. I am learning Japanese cooking, so I will add even more of these foods🍵
9:40 That reverse bento looks absolutely delicious! I Love umeboshi!! I eat them straight out the jar. In onigiri. I even heat up water and make a tea. They are sour! Flavorful! I even eat the shisho leaves that they are picked with❤❤❤
You are such an inspiring person and you, your lifestyle changed my life already. Im going through every of your videos now and write the most important points down in the app/windows program called "Obsidian". Its like a second brain but with every Information that is useful to improve my life. And thats why I inclused a whole Samurai Matcha section. To be a better person and dont forget your lessons! Aki, you are awesome and I hope we meet one day in real life!
1. I love miso soup. 2. I tried and tried but natto is like eating stringy poop. 3. Shikuwasa is similar to the Caribbean naranja agria (sour orange), which I like as it is part of my culture. 4. Matcha is like swallowing liquid grass, not my favorite but maybe Aki's matcha will change my mind. 5. Umeboshi, love it. 6. Amazake, I had it before and liked it so i'll try again to find it. 7. Aki, handsome man.
Thank you Aki for sharing this great video. Really well done! Kudos to everyone out there who are continual learners and interested in the world. I wish our medical schools taught more about nutrition and health benefits gained from eating these superfoods but they don't and so it is on us to learn for ourselves.
Finally very happy to see your new video after the matcha event in California. Thank you very much. Very informative, nobody explains them so well. I am going to Japanese supermarket today！ 😀😀😀❤❤❤
Subscribed and LIKE, thanks for sharing I'm on my journey to try Natto from now on and also matcha I never drink it, but off we go thanks to you. Keep up the good work.
Sir, if I may add one healthy Japanese food and one drink from so many out there to your list, it is nukazuke. I personally have a (Swiss-style, that is with oat bran instead of rice bran, which is hard to find here) nukadoko that I am cultivating since 7 years in my kitchen, and I love my almost daily pickled veggies made in it... いただきます ! Also, now, in summertime, I love to "shinobicha" my "koridashi" (to ice-extract my iced green tea). Finally, thanks for your fine videos, they are a treat!
Umeboshi and other traditional foods are great. Thank you for sharing and educating too. Caution: Sadly many of the traditional products have been altered with chemicals and fake “natural” flavours and more. People need to read the labels. Umeboshi these days is especially challenging with many products having “aminosan”. We need to watch out for MSG as some people may get headaches , hives, mental focus issues and more without realising the source was their health food. Miso is so delicious and energising while also being soothing. Keeps doctor away with healthiness. It is versatile as we can have it with a variety of ingredients or simply as is. However, miso too may have issues with small packages containing added chemicals and preservatives. Natto is the best if you can eat it, like a smelly sticky cheese. In Japan it is usually is not GMO or heavily from crops that were heavily sprayed but sources from overseas seem more questionable. Natto is an excellent product but make sure it is not from chemically laden sources or the health food is not so healthy. Best way, make own, but few have the time. The alternative is to find organic without chemicals. Amazake can be delicious even for people who do not like sake and do not like sweets. Shikuwaza seems so healthful! 😊 Request Would love to know of a nearby place to find an affordable umeboshi that is organic, not with added chemicals. Alternatively a way to mail order affordable umeboshi that doesn’t have aminosan or such chemicals. Thanks
I am curious for those who are unable to consume soy products, what superfood alternatives there are we could include in our diets? For my chronic health issues, I'm gluten free/wheat free, soy free, caffeine free, and dairy free. It's not by choice either. For example in place of coffee, I drink fresh squeezed juice from a lemon in plain tap water. That gives me energy and keeps me regular without the caffeine. I'd love to learn more about alternatives to incorporate into my diet.
Yeah I’m in the same boat so most of these are a no go for me. But I’m not having troubles finding healthy things to eat, was just interested in the video
Could you maybe do another video on how to make Amazake at home? I have a rice cooker but would really love a chance to make my own. Thanks. Ume Plums are amazing and are great for preventing those monthly cramps and just easing a lot of PMS.
Amazake and umeboshi I found years ago… and are favorites. Although not necessarily readily available often. All good… and… also do the majority of the long life Japanese consume daily fresh fruits and vegetables. Those are equally superfoods to me. Thank you.
Brother!!! I’m SO EXCITED for your matcha brand!!! I will definitely buy all my matcha from you. Your channel is my favorite on YT, AND I trust fully that you care about the quality of your matcha and I know it will be awesome! 🎉🎉🎉
Very helpful video, thank you! I tried nato when I went to japan and really wanted to like it but it was the slimy texture that threw me off 😅 Guess I'll focus on miso and matcha!
Can do about 5 out of 6 one day in the near future, however being allergic to lemons, don't wanna chance anything lemon related but everything else I'd be able to try. Great content as always.
You have made a wonderful online family. I am one of the members. I always come back to your episodes. Not for information but just because it feels comforting like home.
Hi Aki, I have been watching your videos to prepare me for my visit to Japan! I am here now and am seeing all of the customs you talk about in your videos! Where are you at in Japan? I would love to visit you and meet you, if that’s a possibility! Arigatou gozaimasu! Eric Beekeeper from the United States
@@amsteensberg1653 we in polish cuisine have a lot of fermented food! It is delicious and very healthy! I was shocked when people went crazy about kimchi 😅 i thought "guys, we had it aready! Maybe not so spicy..."
Kimchi is overrated. Simply a product of PR 🤭 personally i'm not fond of korean food because almost everything is covered by color of chilies. unlike colorful japanese food.
thank you so much for sharing this valuable informations about japanese super foods. in germany is difficult to find natto. would really like to try it. i also love to drink matcha, but it is making me anxious and i find difficult to fall in sleep if i drink it every day. do you have some advice? when is the best time to drink matcha? i would like to enjoy all good qualities matcha has. ayurveda says that matcha makes your gut dry. what says japanese traditional medicine? thanks 😊
Wow thank you for your inciteful video.. I love Japan n one day I hope to visit or maybe live there I love miso n sushi n I want to try the others n stay healthy Iam a avid rice eater only Tku for sharing n I look forward to learning more
Watching from California 🙋Excellent video all your research is very impressive and convinced me. I need these foods. I've only had Matcha Tea.. Good luck on creating your own. Never tasted Miso soup but I know it's out there.
I really hope that Samurai Matcha will launch an affordable matcha product and make it available in Taiwan. Some Japanese brands of matcha, such as Matcha Gokoro, Hizoudenrai, or Itoen, are hard to find in Taiwan.
I have been visited Japan many times (8 times) in many different cities. I do really love Japanese food so much whenever when I go out or have a chance always take Japanese Restaurant which we have quite a lot in Thailand.From the list I assume I love almost all except Umeboshi. I like Japanese‘s life style. I also have a Japanese garden at home.
Oregato! It was very interesting. I'd really like to try Natto and Umeboshi. I also heard that Japanese sweet potato (the name starts with M, purple skin but white inside) is also considered a super food.. 🤔
I love natto. But unfortunately it is unavailable in the country I live in. btw, please enlighten me how the piece of clothing you're wearing is called?
My grandmother drank rhum coke every night, smoked tobacco (no filter), didn't need glasses (she played mahjong daily), and still had her orig teeth, all until she died at 99yo cos she fell and broke her hip. 😢 she would have lived till 100+ God rest her soul. She lived in northern Philippines where we eat pinakbet (local veggies) with fermented fish. 🇵🇭
Is Hizou Denrai Matcha available to buy online or outside of Japan. I cannot find information about it. online. Always love your positive energy! Thank you!
I am a Japanese born in America and loved all but one that I have not tried and natto. Sorry, I love ikanoshokara but can't stand natto - even though it has great health benefits that I was not aware of. I look forward to Samurai Matcha. Thank you for educating me!
You left out cup noodles 🤣 I've tried all of these apart from the Amazake and Shikawasa. I live in Europe and these days I can get all of these fairly easily with the exception of Shikawasa. Thank you for the video, Akisan 🙏
I visited Japan last autumn and try natto. I’m disappointed it was not bad how I hear about it, it was nice and I like natto. I like umeboshi, shirasu, dango and matcha of course ❤
I’ve been living in happy and I love omeboshi, is definitely one of my favorite superfood in Japan. Amakaze and natto are not my favorite one but I can eat them for my health
It is quite hard to find japanase ingredient here . But I do find some miso paste here and now I can make miso soup with it . I also really want to try natto . I have to ordered it online !
1 - Miso
2 - Natto
3 - Shikuwasa (original specie of mika orange).
4 - Matcha
5 - Umeboshi (Dried, salt-pickled ume plum).

Thank you for this video. I would love to see what is a healthy Japanese breakfast, and/or a typical day of meals in Japan.
It includes natto.
Very typical Japanese breakfast is natto, raw egg, miso soup, rice, small piece of salmon, and a small salad or set of pickles (tsukemono).
Wonderful information. I would love in-depth ways to make, prepare and consume each of these super foods. Maybe one video for each. ❤❤❤❤

Umeboshi and other traditional foods are great. Thank you for sharing and educating too.
Caution:
Sadly many of the traditional products have been altered with chemicals and fake “natural” flavours and more. People need to read the labels.
Umeboshi these days is especially challenging with many products having “aminosan”.
We need to watch out for MSG as some people may get headaches , hives, mental focus issues and more without realising the source was their health food.

Natto is an excellent product but make sure it is not from chemically laden sources or the health food is not so healthy.
Best way, make own, but few have the time. The alternative is to find organic without chemicals.
Amazake can be delicious even for people who do not like sake and do not like sweets.

In my language natto is called as chembic, kinama, or akhoni the fermented soya bean. I like it's slippery texture and dominating flavour.
Wow, this was really informative and nice video, thank you!
I want to try all of the things. Matcha I like aswell, but sadly I don’t consume it much.

She lived in northern Philippines where we eat pinakbet (local veggies) with fermented fish. 🇵🇭
Love your videos
Very nice video, and I am enjoying it.
Is Hizou Denrai Matcha available to buy online or outside of Japan. I cannot find information about it. online.
Always love your positive energy! Thank you!
I am a Japanese born in America and loved all but one that I have not tried and natto. Sorry, I love ikanoshokara but can't stand natto - even though it has great health benefits that I was not aware of. I look forward to Samurai Matcha. Thank you for educating me!
Thanku very much brother 👌🙏👍💐
You left out cup noodles 🤣 I've tried all of these apart from the Amazake and Shikawasa. I live in Europe and these days I can get all of these fairly easily with the exception of Shikawasa. Thank you for the video, Akisan 🙏
I visited Japan last autumn and try natto. I’m disappointed it was not bad how I hear about it, it was nice and I like natto. I like umeboshi, shirasu, dango and matcha of course ❤
I would like to learn your minimalist casual tea ceremony please ❤ please make a video to teach us 🙏
Thank you, brilliant video ❤ More reasons to go to Japan ❤❤❤❤
I’ve been living in happy and I love omeboshi, is definitely one of my favorite superfood in Japan. Amakaze and natto are not my favorite one but I can eat them for my health
It is quite hard to find japanase ingredient here . But I do find some miso paste here and now I can make miso soup with it . I also really want to try natto . I have to ordered it online !
I have started to eat natto with my oatmeal porridge. First it tasted like sweaty socks but now I like it!
Thanks for sharing this recipes
Thanks Aki!
I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work and hope you get Samurai Matcha matcha out there soon.
Not only they are healthy, they are tasty too! I wish I can get these ingredients easier
I was so suprised to see Umeboshi on this list, its one of my favorite Japanese plums 😊 I cam hardly ever find it at the asian market sadly.
Thanks to you I started drinking matcha, it's delicious 🍵
