I just discovered this channel and its amazing, it makes me teary eyed. My nephew is half Japanese living in the USA and doesn't often get to see his Japanese grandma and grandpa, only talk on the phone (they don't have internet so they can't see him either). I often go to Japan for work, and if I am somewhat close to where they live I have been very lucky to go visit his grandparents so that I can bring them updated photos, video call him, and give them updates. They love my brother so much as he takes good care of their daughter (wife) and son, but I feel lucky to be able to bridge this gap and they show me the same amount of love. Whenever I go to their house grandma cooks me a feast of her favorite dishes and some of them she even says she hasn't had a reason to make it in years! The reason for this long comment is from all of these visits to them, I understand the importance of learning about their food, their stories, and their ways of life and sharing it with the younger generations. Japan is one of the only societies still around where the old culture is still very much alive, however with the most recent generations, that is finally starting to fade away. Many of my friends, and even my nephew dont understand the importance of keeping this beautiful and rich historic culture; its manors, its food, its daily style alive. When I explain to them how I am just a "mut" white american with not much culture, and how i really respect and appreciate Japans history and food they kind of open their eyes and have a moment of change, and realize they were taking what was "normal" for granted. One of my friends even quit his city job to live in the countryside and maintain a farm that was slowly dying due to the lack of young people. By making these videos you're helping to maintain and promote the beautiful culture that Japan offers, and on be half of someone who experiences my own "Japanese grandma" i appreciate this!
Such a lovely tribute. Her husband died young. It’s difficult to address that type of grief, but what an amazing lived experience. I can’t think of anything more important: living fully in the wisdom of our elders.
Im so happy i found your channel. This is heartwarming and puts a smile on my face. Please continue to make more videos. All the love for grandmas out there :)
Makes me remember my grandma...she spent all her good years,happily taking care of her kids,then grandkids ... As a young army wife's officer,she used to travel a lot too.. but in later years,when she has us grandkids and we would meet her year for summer holidays ,she would make us all our favourite treats and even make extra so that we can take back ... Women such as these beautiful ladies in the video are no more made...They are the true hustlers ,even when food was less,responsibilities were more and when life was just life in their times...They cherished everything that they had ,even if it was a just being in kitchen and cooking for family and friends
I went to search a Japanese recipe . I found so much more. Thank you for sharing with us this moment of the life of those womens. This is profoundly moving and beautiful . Thank you
I really love this series of videos. My grandmother and mother have passed away and it is precious that you are saving these recipes for future generations.
What a remarkable woman! So full of spirit and yet gentle and kind. I hope her family doesn’t take her for granted and will learn to eat and prepare the traditional foods eventually. When she’s gone, they will regret not connecting more fully with their heritage. At least this video series captures these gracious ladies’ giving hearts.
I thought this was beautiful. I love this line of videos. When my grandmother cooked, I spent the time watching her , and yapping about nonsense. She was so willing to listen. It never occurred to me then that she wouldn’t be around for me to ask how she did this or that, I took for granted I would always remember.
It's not sad. It's beautiful that she does it & is gracious that they should eat it if they want or not. They may regret not eating it more one day tho.
Aim in love with everything that is Japanse! And see this is so amazing to show how it was and how hard these amazing woman work at this age!!! Makes me love them even more,i wish that one day I can visit Japan my biggest dream!!!!!!
Every now and then I think about your videos and appreciate the hard working women that they depict. Such beautiful culture. It inspires me to keep traditions alive.
I love this channel so much! We need more content like this in the world... just simple appreciation and time spent with someone blessed to have experienced a different lifetime and be able to share it!!!! 💗💗💗💗
Ｉ am fluent in japanese, lived 25 years in japan, graduated from Japanese medical university, and i can understand only about 70% of what this lady says. But her Hogen is so incredibly beautiful.
I would change "pizza" with fast food or canned food, frozen food....Pizza doesnt have to be a travesty, it also can be a traditional dish that some grandmothers would make with love.
I know in my family, all of my siblings participate in in Osechi, we all made efforts to get home at least for New Years, and some of us learned how to cook our family's traditional dishes for that day. However, the next generation was raised more liberally, did not have to go to family gatherings but could go off with friends, and now that those kids are grown, many of them live too far away to come back for holidays. They have other families now too. The ones that live close enough do still come to Osechi because my mother, their grandmother, is now 93 and it means a lot to her to see her grand kids and great grandkids. But once she dies, I doubt the family will make the effort. As it is, both my sisters find cooking as these obasans have just too much work and they order osechi from their Japanese food stores instead since neither of them learned how to cook most of these foods. I have mixed feelings. We're losing those old world traditions but we're also blending with other cultures and races. Just as so many of the rich Japanese arts and crafts are disappearing as the older generations pass on, so are these types of traditions, and the youngsters are mixing all the cultures they are influenced by into their lives instead. I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't know if the youngsters will ever even miss things like osechi.
Actually one of the grandmas in this series admitted she was uninterested in learning her mother's pickling method. So even that generation didn't always get things passed. I guess she thought she knew or could figure it out but didn't. Now her mother is gone of course.
My late grandmothers and mother's cooking is still the tastiest food I've eaten, that's why it is sad to hear that they would choose pizza over her cooking. Most of us has grown up to home cooked meals and many of those food we eat have beautiful memories with them. Thank you for all these videos. I've been watching it many times since I found this channel.
As an American it would be such an honor to learn to cook traditional foods from these Grandmothers. I try to mimic my own Irish grandmother's cooking from scratch - like breads and other dishes. But, I really have started to love the time it takes to make something wonderful. I love a good bread recipe or pastry recipe that takes days to cook. Even pizza dough that takes a full 24 hours to cook a 10 minute pizza with sauce and herbs from my garden, and cheeses straight from a farm. The lengthy process of cooking from scratch is actually what makes foods taste so great. Do you ever invite outsiders to learn with you on your excursions?
My type of content i love these grandmas and their openness , by the way does anyone know where i can find those piano pieces they're so beautiful and peaceful thanks in advance
I am Japanese, but could barely understand what this grandma was saying due to her strong dialect. The English sub came in quite handy for me too, thanks, lol.
@@jenm2251 I kindly disagree, you can't have both.....you can have pizza anytime anywhere but when your mother in law makes these amazing and rare dishes, you sit and eat it and appreciate the love thats put into it. Due to the kids or daughter in law wanting pizza these delicious and healthy dishes are slowly being forgotten, and young people don't understand the value in the dish. Just my thought :D
Desde criança admirei os mais velhos, por entender que eles eram sábios. Essas senhoras são admiráveis. Pena não entender o que dizem.Se fosse dublado em inglês, seria maravilhoso. Mesmo assim obrigado por tê-las na Internet. Todo meu respeito e admiração, senhoras sábias. 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇💋💋💋💋👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
こんな綺麗で素敵な動画で、ネイティブすぎる山形弁をきけるなんて…
同郷なのでとても感動しました。どこのばーちゃんも同じ喋り方なんだなぁって（笑）実家に帰ったらばーちゃんとかーちゃんのお節料理、伝授してもらいます。
Women like this hold our world together. No complaints, they just keep on going.
今更かもしれないけど日本語訳しますね。一部聞き取れなかったけど。
貰われたのでお寺に(嫁に)来ました。いやでしたね。おとうさんが、子どもたちが誰もお寺に嫁にいかないから来てくれと。お寺ほど難儀なものはない。
28年前だから、48か？数えで49の時に亡くなりました。そのとき、子どもたちは全然一丁前じゃなかったから、みんな小学校と中学校だったから、どうしようかと思ったけどもね。〜聞き取れない〜さんのおかげでここまで来れました
出身地を気にせずにみていたのですが、おばあちゃんの訛りを聞いて鳥肌が立ち、思わず場所を確認して納得。１３年前に亡くなった母が、自分の実家で兄弟や親戚達と話していた言葉だったので、すぐに分かりました。方言って美しいですね。昔は、恥ずかしくて使わないようにしていましたが、その響きの美しさ、その土地で使われ、伝えられてきた言葉を残すことの大切さを改めて思い知らされ、最後は感動で胸がいっぱいになり自然に涙があふれました。
ありがとうございました。
大好きだったおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんを思い出して涙がでました。
明日の夜ご飯はおばあちゃんが教えてくれた料理を自分の子供たちと一緒に作ろうと思います。
こんな素敵な動画を見れて嬉しいです。
本当にありがとうございます。
いい動画です。私自身、海外に住んでて亡くなったおばあちゃんの料理を今でも思い出しますが当時は教えてもらうとか教わりたいとも思わなかった。今だから、思えるけど人生ってそんなもんなのかな。今、それが食べたくても手に入れられない貴重で愛情がたっぷりつまった数々。。。今度、帰ったら母の料理をいっぱい盗んでこようと思いました。

東北出身のあたしにとっては懐かしい訛りでした。もう私のばあちゃんはいないけど昔作ってくれた料理は今もおもいだすとすごく食べたくなります。
わたしのおばあちゃん見てるのかと思うくらい。大好きな方言久々に聞いて地元に帰りたくなりました。
I can’t believe I haven’t found this channel before. This video is so beautiful!
Glad that I found this channel. Brilliant idea of passing on legacies with amazing video contents!
素敵なテーマですね❤
方言もお料理もレシピも、とても貴重で素晴らしいです。こんなすごいお料理、私には作れませんが、観ているだけで、楽しくなります😊
こういうアイディア素晴らしい、本当に感動させられた

食が人や文化と密接な関係があるのが感じられる。こういう素朴で自然に逆らわない料理が忍耐強さとか慎ましさとかを育んできたんだろう。
インスタントや冷凍食品やしばしばの外食なら、また未来はずっと変わって行くんだろう。。
Im so happy i found your channel. This is heartwarming and puts a smile on my face. Please continue to make more videos. All the love for grandmas out there :)
方言が強すぎて面白くなってきちゃう笑笑

Thank you for such lovely stories of strong women. It brought tears to my eyes thinking of my own obachan when she was still with us.
本当に人生の中でばあちゃん先生に巡り会えて嬉しかったです
大好き
あ～、美味しそう。美しい映像。
きよこおばあちゃん、みなさん、ありがとう。
ごちそうさまでした。
こういう動画をつくろうというセンスが素晴らしい。

でてくるお料理全部食したいです。絶対全部おいしい！
That's so sad. I would love it if my mother or grandmother cooked such beautiful meals for me. I would take that over pizza any day.
It's not sad. It's beautiful that she does it & is gracious that they should eat it if they want or not. They may regret not eating it more one day tho.

A beautiful story, lovely.
やっぱり故郷のお母さんの味はいいですね🎵もう一度食べてみたいです😃
Thank you for gathering all the wisdoms from these beautiful grandmas. They brought life to the simple ingredients and drool to my mouth.
山形探していました！
感激です。。。
Thank you for sharing such real stories teaching us the depth of simplicity, beauty, perfection, endurance and appreciation of life!
I love this series. These grandmas are so amazing.
I love these videos :) makes me feel warm and peaceful inside!
I love this channel so much! We need more content like this in the world... just simple appreciation and time spent with someone blessed to have experienced a different lifetime and be able to share it!!!! 💗💗💗💗
Grandmas are precious, I love my grandmas❤️
I would love to drink tea and eat pickles with you, Oba-san!
It made me miss my grandmothers but was grateful to hear of this one.
That's such a cool job, interviewing those grandmas to tell their own history..
And, at the end of the interview, they eat together...
Loving each of your videos. Please make the writing on a dark background so we can read it. I will watch all your videos!
i really love this vibe, almost made me cry
It's been a pleasure watching all these marvellous films. Thank you very much for your excellent work!
Ｉ am fluent in japanese, lived 25 years in japan, graduated from Japanese medical university, and i can understand only about 70% of what this lady says.
But her Hogen is so incredibly beautiful.
Love the series!! It is beautifully produced, it transmit all the confy and peaceful feelings. Otsukaree
同じ東北でもほとんどわからないけど😅暖かいですね🎵料理の勉強になります✨
This is a wonderful idea for a series! What an honor to see these women and hear their words.
Thank you for all these videos in your channel. Hope to see more of these 😊
I was sad how little interest the next generation had in these recipes. To replace these with pizza is a travesty. Why not pizza another day?
Heathen Hearth I would never ask my grandma not to Cook as she is used to; actually, I am trying to learn her recipes, in order to keep them alive

I hope 🙏 that we NEVER lost this opportunity to learn and continue to learn from our grandparents .thank you!!
とっても美味しそうなおばあちゃんの料理。醤油の量が東北だなー。
I so wish there were more of these. Thoroughly enjoyed them.

Such a peaceful channel..simply beautiful
大石田で興奮！新庄、大石田の人はにゃーって方言があるのよね(*´-`*)新庄に帰りたい

Your mother in law cooks all this delicacy and you go get some pizza??!! How dare you!!!? 😡😢🙄
True huhuhu
maybe because they are used to it. Doesnt mean they dont like or appreciate it. :)
Bc pizza is good. Can't we have both!? We're so lucky to live in this time of experiencing so much.

@@SeanRabbittChannel some people cannot help not likeing certain flavors. Being together & loving family is much more important.
I would prefer this 7:12 over pizza at any time.
