Arigatō: miso, natto, shikowasa, matcha, umeboshi, amazake
Thank you!!
Don’t forget persimmon.
What I ilke about you is that your excitement never fades since day 1 you started this youtube channel. I'm not skipping ads for you, more content pleasseeeeee!!!
@@mubibidyoklipph6635 thank you so much 😊 I’m glad to hear that😉 I’ll make more videos that make you guys happy!!
@@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 so much😊❤
Totally! Always a pleasant watch!

Healthy food for gut: Miso paste, Matcha tea, Natto, Umeboshi plum, Amazake, Shikawasa lemon
Where to buy in USA. Thank u for the list
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).
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 : )
If you don’t like the taste of matcha. Put it in 00 Gelatin capsule Using a small capsule machine.
@@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.
@@bluelotus3750 Yeah I meant to say plant milk. I've edited my comment :)
@@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.
Wonderful information. I would love in-depth ways to make, prepare and consume each of these super foods. Maybe one video for each. ❤❤❤❤
I'm looking forward to your "Samurai Matcha" matcha! 👀
How I make amasake at Home … outside Japan too.
It is possible to make Natto at Home with soyabeans? Could you explain it by your next Video?
Another Point: Not „only“ Japanese people also Japanese pets in case of dogs Grönland Order Thanks in another Country. Please find out the reasons?😊
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!
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 🎉
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
Thank you Aki! Looking forward to trying these Superfoods, especially your matcha brand. ❤️
I think that every country has its own superfoods but we forget how to use it 😢
I'm afraid that you are right .🙄🇩🇰
@@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..."
I don’t think America has anything healthy 😅 🇺🇸 even our vegetables are genetically modified
Very true!!!, especially those countries which were colonised tend to be forced to adapt foreign foods as best!! Sad
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.
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. 🙏
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 👏🏻
Very clear pronunciation and explanation👏I learned much from this video. Thanks a lot
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.
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.
Arigatou gozaimasu! I love the healthy tips!
🤗 AKI you give me Life! 🌞You Light up my world!
🧡I am so grateful we met you!🙏
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!
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
Shiquaza is great. But if you visit Okinawa, don’t forget to try Sanpincha tea. It is oolong tea scented with jasmin. Super delicious.
Great video 🎉thanks 🙏🏽 Please make more informative videos like this about the great food that Japan has 😊yay!
Yeah!!
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! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank u sir...empowering the goodwill of Japan good life and healthy life...✌️
V informative and clear presentation. Thanks so much, Mr Matcha!
I had fun watching you and all those benefits you mention keep goin, hope to visit one day..God bless
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🍵
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
Love Iced Matcha! Had a top-notch iced Matcha coffee combo in SF yesterday! 🍵🔥💫
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”!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for always being real and human. You make my day! I love to laugh with you😂🤗❤️
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！
😀😀😀❤❤❤
@@WinnyChi hey winny!
Great 👍🏽 information. I will try to add these food in my diet. Thanks Aki. Will you do video on how to make Amazake?
Brilliant! Thank you! Yes for me regarding Samurai Matcha!
😊Matcha is the best…woohoo! Thanks for sharing and sharing the organic brands too.
I just want to say thank you for your time and information
Thank you for the professional video and thank you because I love your accent
Thank you so much✌🏼 😊✌🏼🇩🇰Looking for amazake recipie right away
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.
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.
Great information! Unfortunately many of these are expensive to get where I am, but I will do what I can.
I really enjoyed learning about Japan's superfoods! Many thanks for all your research! 🙂
Awesome video. A lot to think about and try!!
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
Great Video and content! Thank you🙂
Thank you for another great video! I appreciate the work you do for your channel. I always learn something new from you.
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!
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❤❤❤
This is super helpful! Not only do I love Japanese food but I so want to have a healthier body now that I’m getting older thanks🙂
thank you for always sharing this precious knowledge!
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.
Really lovely video! I enjoyed it so much!! Can you show us your mom's homemade cooking? :)
so excited for your tea!!
I begins to love matcha and waking up calmly instead of coffee 🍵
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.
LOVE this video. Many thanks for sharing!
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.
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.
I like all the food that you mentioned especially natto and matcha 😍
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.
Thanks for sharing this recipes
Thanku very much brother 👌🙏👍💐
Thanks Aki!
I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work and hope you get Samurai Matcha matcha out there soon.
Can you make a video of the best chopsticks you like? i love your content!! so inspiring!
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.
Love your videos
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
In my language natto is called as chembic, kinama, or akhoni the fermented soya bean. I like it's slippery texture and dominating flavour.
Make a video on how to prepare them at home
Great Video! Thank U sooo much for Sharing🎉❤🎉❤❤❤
Hi Aki, thank you for your incredible video! Can you recommend a Miso-Paste and/or do you have a Soup recipe? :-)
Greetings from Vienna, Austria Sabi
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!
Thanks, great video :) .
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.
miso, tofu, natto, green tea, seaweeds, daikon, fish,...are excellent, i looovvvve natto and miso and all !!!!!!
Let’s point one thing out here. The difference in life expectancy from the number one spot to the number eight spot is 15 months. The Italians are known for drinking wine and coffee, and eating lots of pizza and pasta with meat sauces. Honestly, and I am not joking one little bit, I will give up those 15 months of life and order to enjoy my entire life.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Japan it has a lot of good points. I’ve lived here for 35 years and have no intentions of going back to the United States even for a friggin visit in large part because of the political situation back there. But this thing in Japan of “It’s good for your healthy human life.’ gets old. I’ve made it to the age of 70. Given my paternal male lineage seems to die off before the age of 85, I don’t have long to live. So I don’t really care about these super foods. And I wouldn’t advise anybody to jump on that bandwagon in order to just live an extra 15 months. Enjoy life.
For me enjoying life playing golf. I just had major surgery on my shoulder so that I can continue to play golf. When I can no longer play golf and I have problems getting around Amazon sells helium and gas masks and you can set that up very easily for a euthanasia machine . Not going to be one of these old geezers hobbling around on a cane shitting in their pants.
That being said, I really like your channel.
me too.
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!
I enjoy u n your style. great vid. What is that furniture behind you? Japanese furniture is some of my fave.
I love miso, delicious and healthy❤
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
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.
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!

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.. 🤔
How are you so sweet and cute 😻 thanks for the video, great as always!
😂 myocardinal, the play with it - made me really wake up in the morning
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 🙏
Awesome video. I can’t wait to go to H Mart the next time I’m in Dallas and I live in West Texas.
Me too but one in Illinois.
Love H mart. Also, Check out KO MART. Next door to king spa near royal and 35!
I love natto, umeboshi and matcha! I would love to try Amazake!
Arigatou Gozaimashita for sharing🙇♀️💖😘
Thanks to you I started drinking matcha, it's delicious 🍵
Great video, I am excited to see more
I loved this video. I really care about elevating health. I was a little surprised konjac/ konnyaku was not on here. I heard years ago it was a Japanese anti-aging superfood.
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 have started to eat natto with my oatmeal porridge. First it tasted like sweaty socks but now I like it!
Love these suggestions - I hope to get to a shop in Oregon that carries natto - I've tried making it after watching some of the Ikigai Diet videos, using mint stalks for the natto-kin ....
(And just crotched a little Nebaaru-kun amigurumi 😊) .... I make my own yogurt using coconut milk and appreciate fermented foods.
米麹を仕込んで納豆、甘酒に。自慢の梅干しは庭で育てた梅と赤紫蘇。
抹茶だけは自家製出来ず市販品に頼っていましたがこちらのMatchaは
全く別物。そんな折chafinityで本物抹茶を購入。大満足です。
普段から意識せず只好きで食べ続けて来た日本の食は唯一無二。
That is so interesting to hear that people who were exposed to the atom bombs there would get through it better with their miso. Misco really is incredibly.
Too bad I found out soy bloats my body (I was eating it regularly for a while too). I tried nato once. I think it was pretty good. It would take some getting used to. I loved learning about a couple foods I never heard of before.
My maternal great-grandma and paternal great-grandfather lived to 90. They both gardened and believed in clean living and not owning much. I believe they didn't stress much. Also, my great-grandmother had 8 children, some in her 40s and it is stated that if women have babies in their 40s, they are more likely to live to 100. Pretty cool.
