Somehow this episode sounds like a national geographic documentary observing the subject in its natural environment :) the food she makes seems so healthy!
Cracked me out laughing when Paolo's like sneaking in the corner talking about this video sponsor while his wife Maiko's eating lunch! 🤣 He's really in a work mode in his own house featuring his lovely wife. 🤣
Don't feel bad about your 'massive plate'. If you combine all her small dishes/plates onto one plate, it would be a massive plate too. The breakfast bowl, particularly, had a lot of items in it. If you separately platted the eggs, rice, beans, seaweed, fruit and yogurt, on one plate, the plate would look massive as well. It's just organized very cute and more pleasing to the eyes, so people don't notice the actual amount of food being eaten. But you are correct, many cultures have one meat and 2 or 3 larger sides on one massive plate, while an Asian meal will consist of multiple meats and include 7 or 8 smaller sides put on different plates. It's the presentation that makes the difference; you may be eating the same amount or even a lesser amount of food.
@@phocian I get what you mean about the total amount of food, but different dishes provide different nutrients. We think about different colors of food to present and stuff, and one reason is for visual pleasure, but another reason is because we know that different colors tend to give different types of nutrients. (I'm talking about colors just as an example of variety in one meal)
@@etheladdams2562 I agree with you. The amount is not as important as it's nutrition. For me, her breakfast was huge. There's no way I could eat that much; however, it probably has less calories than a large coffee and muffin from Starbucks. She can afford to eat more health wise.
Raw or soft cooked egg with noodles is a total game changer. I'd love to see Maiko make a food diary showing a whole week of meals including family meals.
Why would anyone ever eat a raw egg if they can cook it? Unless the gas has been disconnected or you’re laying on the floor dying of hunger and the only thing you have within reach is a raw egg, then I understand
@@rowmagnvs cause raw eggs are better than cooked egg. That doesn’t mean you can eat raw egg anywhere in the world, Japan specifically has safety protocols for eggs so ppl can eat it raw.
@@rowmagnvs I think it might be a texture thing - in Japanese cuisine there are a lot of foods that have a kind of soft, slimy or sticky texture including natto, a lot of fermented foods, and of course raw egg.
I appreciate how she can consider not only flavor, but also nutritional value plus variation for every meal, bits of everything without any one thing overwhelming the other.
There's not much nutrition in those meals other than the eggs and the fishes. The rest are carbohydrates (noodles, rice) and vegetables (full of anti-nutrients).
@@titiung A Japanese meal can be healthier, but even what Maiko had in the video has more health values than you think. For breakfast, she had yogurt and natto, which are both fermented food that has a lot of probiotics. The vinegar juice is also healthy. Miso soup she had for dinner is made from fermented soybeans that have strong health value. The slimy mushrooms are also nutritious.
Thank you Paolo! This was very enjoyable. My own heritage is Korean and my parents, when they moved to the United States, if they did breakfast on their own, it would consist of hot steamed rice, kim chee, a hot soup or stew of some kind and sometimes, some other vegetables or cold fish cake. My brother and I, raised in the Western format, got 2 fried eggs, bacon and toast. But on some days we enjoyed our parents breakfast. Both have passed but the memories are there. Your family is young and growing so this is fun, watching your family's homelife. Thank you for letting us viewers into your home.
That is just amazing how Japanese women cook warm meals throughout the whole day! I'm used to eating warm meals only at dinner time. Maiko did a fantastic job with these meals because I got very hungry watching this!
I loved the simple presentation and choices in her meals. It's also really cool to see a little grill included with your kitchen setup. Everything about Japan is quite amusing.
Thank you, Paolo and Maiko for making and sharing this video with us. I am Canadian and prefer small meals too, and use as few dishes as possible. I clean up dishes, and cutlery during and after every meal. Best wishes to both of you for health, and happiness.
nah, tbh she looks very strict and tense, way too serious for my liking if I would be with a Japanese women, they are usually very joyful, love to laugh and smile
I respect Japanese and their diets. So healthy and much variety. Me as a Dutch guy: Morning: Bread with cheese Afternoon: Bread with cheese Evening: Boiled potatoes, gravy, spinach and chicken breast.
I love cheese and bread,would love living in the Netherlands. My mom said we have some Dutch blood but we're mostly Chinese so we eat chinese cuisine like 98% of the time and I get so bored.
I am very glad that Paolo keeps doing those videos. It's VERY Japanese, real, no faccade (usually the case for large media documentaries or TV productions), but also not "too cheap" cam corder-esque. It's right in the middle, perfect! Just what UA-cam is all about for me.
Cool! I'm in Aichi! My wife is from Kamakura. My wife also makes the omelet too. But I am the one who does all the clean-up after cooking. She will also have yogurt with fruit. We have either toast or cold breakfast cereal. That habit comes from me being from Canada. My wife will also make yakisoba on weekends, and we have that same red pan! And she also buys the same noodle brand! My wife also drinks a vinegar drink, usually in the evening. Ya, she doesn't like the taste too.
@@titiung very little nutrition? only the natto is full of protein and have all the types of vitamines. Also the miso has 20 per cent of proteins. Also alga has protein and a lot of nutrients, the mushrooms, etc.
Oh man thank you for posting this. brings me back to watching my grandma cook as a kid. She’d always get up early and start breakfast; so I’d get up early and watch her and try to help lol. Good memories. If I was good she would make me onigiri with a pickled plum in the middle nom nom nom
My Japanese husband likes natto, too, and eats it with mustard sauce, and other condiments, and by itself sometimes. To me, it's the epitome of 'eat it, it's good for you' so hold your nose, and close your eyes. I like to see him happy so I make sure he has it every once in a while at least. I saw on the internet how to make it using prepared natto as a fermentation 'starter'. When we were first married many decades ago, grocers place fresh tofu in the fresh produce section without refrigeration, and it was no wonder when a friend said she wasn't opposed to tofu, just because of its somewhat sour flavor. I used to make my husband fresh tofu to make abura age, rice pockets, using epsom salts for bean protein coagulation. And, no, I've never been able to eat natto. even though it's very nutritious especially for someone tending to blood clots.
I love how she preserves us and may influence us to eat healthy and that's quite common in Japan. I love Maiko so much!! She is very organized, healthy, and an easygoing person with a descent of boldness that she posses sometimes 😂 Keep it up Paolo and Maiko!! been here since 500k subs 😚
I would love if Maiko does some cooking videos of different meals she makes. I'm always trying to eat more Japanese food but struggle to make up a whole menu
The only healthy food she ate for breakfast was the eggs. The rest are carbs and sugar. The Natto, or fermented soybeans are also full of carbs and fiber (which is indigestable). Although the fermentation process reduced the amount of anti-nutrients, but they are still present in the food.
@@titiung carbs are good. fiber is also good. theres two types of fiber: solube and insoluble. You need both of them. Seaweed is also extremely nutritious. You clearly dont know much about nutrition
@@Novafan No, carbs are NOT essential, and are NOT good. You have been brainwashed, in fact everyone has been for the past decades. Fiber and indigestible and too much fiber can cause constipation. If you wanna talk about what food is truly nutrition, it's animal meat and animal fat.
@@Novafan natoo and miso has a lot of protein, and a lot of different vitamines. Natto is recommend in Europe to prevent osteoporosis, and also facilitate the digestion.
I’m obsessed with the organization and cleanliness. Everything seems right out of Marie Kondo’s playbook. Her portions are well-controlled and the ratios make perfect sense. OCD heaven 😍
Surprising how many packaging or industrial food is used for a day. Almost everything comes from a package, dressing, sauces, cheese, fish…. Even the morning coffee is not brewed, just a legion of bottles in the fridge. I prefer the mediterranean way of cook and buy the product.
Most of the food my wife cooks is from scratch, including all the vegetables which are from local farms, the miso she made , the fish is fresh etc. I lived on the Island of Crete for a year. While there is plenty of fresh food and ingredients it's not much different from Japanese in terms of fresh food.
@@gordonbgraham i am from the mediterranean area... i know how it is, but i dont talked about Freshness, what i mean is that we buy fish from local stores and it is raw and not "industrial" packaged, mostly wax-paper wrapping the food directly when you order and the same with vegetables or other foods, no precutting or already prepared. Here she is eating "fresh" but each small piece is packaged in individual portions (Natto, fish, vegetables already cutted, etc..), thats not usual in Greece, italy, spain...
@@cgmcgmcgmcgmcgm She’s in Tokyo. We’re surrounded by small farms that have produce stands. There is freshly made soba noodles, people make their own miso, and the fish is freshly caught etc.
Japan has the longest list of food additives out of any countries in the world,some of which are considered carcinogenic and generally unhealthy, why do you think the food looks so good?
I'm just shocked at the amount of plastic used. Especially single use plastic. It's amazing to see that Japan is still very much riddled with it. For some reason i thought it'd be a more environmentally friendly country. Is this common in most japanese households? When she opens the fridge the sea of plastic is really all I can focus on.
unfortunately yes, japan uses a hella ton of plastic in pretty much everything since they prioritize convenience in general, asian countries arent as concerned about eco friendliness as the west
@dot my dude, I am asian (chinese) and can confirm that china (makes up a large majority of asia) also thinks this way and if not, even worse. public trash cans are overflowing with plastic bags and bottles, shreds of plastic littering the sidewalks, you have to buy water in plastic jugs because the tap water is not safe to drink, etc. it’s pretty bad on a side note, i did develop constant coughing and got allergic to dairy for the few months when i stayed there, so thats something lmao
I had strong David Attenborough vibes hahaha! Especially when you had the shot behind the plant looking over your wife’s shoulder… and your nearly silent voice… we’re just watching your wife chilling in her natural environment. Really wonderful to see how your wife prepares and eats her food. Can we see one where we observe a typical day in Wolfie’s life?
I have a love hate relationship with Natto. I’d been trying it because it is supposed to be good for you and I have to be in the mood for it but I also haven’t found one that I like a ton either..
This was very fun and yet unique and different than the usual video which is so cool. A great video to see a slice of Maiko's daily routine~ You guys have a great weekend! :D
You could get luck or have a great personality. Or just be fit and have money and you're guaranteed to get one regardless of how attractive your face is.
@@Woeisme2 being rich as a man is like a girl being pretty. you might not marry a girl just because she's pretty but my goodness doesn't it help??? wouldn't you overlook a few flaws for a very pretty girl? and girls will overlook a lot of flaws for a very rich man. also this analogy is from a Marilyn Monroe movie I can't remember what it's called.
I appreciate the vid. I have a couple of those premade coffees that she started the video with in my fridge and realized I have no idea how to serve it. I've been meaning to try it soon so good thing I saw this!
This differs from your usual take, but this is SO good! My wive and I can’t help but laugh a lot watching this video, given Maiko is acting like one being observed. This is educating and yet very entertaining! Keep it up Paolo and Maiko!
Her meals are very well balanced and look very tasty! I am often guilty of relying on conbini meals for breakfast and lunch, especially on work days, and when I get home, the only thing I cook myself is dinner. Weekends are the only time I can cook each meal for myself, but sometimes I splurge and go out to eat!
OMG, i love how she put shirasu in the onigiri! We used to live in Kugenuma Kaigan (near Enoshima) where everyone eats shirasu. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find shirasu here on the east coast USA
I want to have dinner with Maiko!!!! Everything she prepared looks AMAZING and makes me hungry. UGH--Americans eat too much fat and carbohydrates. I admire so much about Japanese culture--I hope to visit Japan some day. Thank you, Maiko, for your lovely cooking and thank you, Paolo, for your wonderful videos! Love from America!
Yay! I was so looking forward to this video! My takeaways.... she puts care and thought into her meals even if it's just for her and she's at home. It's a far cry from eating a Lean Cuisine on the couch. I believe you said she lived in the USA at one point. I'm curious how her meals changed when living here. I imagine she had to do without many products she's used to being readily available in Japan. I'd love a video where she shows us how to make a few easy recipes with ingredients we can readily get here!
It really depends where in the US. Here in urban California, there are Japanese grocery stores. Plus 99 Ranch Market has Japanese food (altho not as much) and even Safeways in many areas will carry things I've only seen in Japan.
@@brittanyherm9942 I live in the UK and as I don't live in a big city Japanese ingredients are limited especially if you want to buy them in bulk! I get my mirin/soy/rice vinegar and rice from Amazon as I also have to deal with less packaging too
Nice she eats so good. I struggle with what to make and eat everyday. Would be nice to have a routine. This is inspiring. She is an amazing mom and wife. ♡
I couldn't help wonder what Paolo eats. Surely after all that time in Japan, he also eats at least some of the same food. Or when he's not making a video of Maiko eating, is he out going to some American based place like McD's or KFC? LOL!
I highly doubt this is what she eats everyday. She is being filmed so duh you gonna show you eat perfect healthy foods when in reality you skip meals or eat something quickly put together especially when you are a parent.
just so you know, Paolo, you should keep doing a day in a life videos, I enjoy them:) and they are good, maybe you should do a day in the life of a doctor, or something like that! edit: 100 likes
@@Bugge5001 Chill out. They've been having scheduling issues due to their son being sick. I'd rather have no videos at all than have their son not have adequate care from his parents lol.
@@mark030531 I am completely chill bro? I know they are a lot of effort and I know they have a son to take care of, but I wish it was his main type of video overall still.
@@Bugge5001 Of course it's their main type but what can you do? They probably had a lot of A Day in the Life filming scheduled that had to be cancelled. I just think it's pretty inconsiderate to ask for content that creators would obviously want to put out as much as possible if they could but were not able to due to unforeseen circumstances. OP is literally saying "you should keep doing a day in a life videos" as if they don't care that Paolo already explained why some planned content will be delayed lol
Great acting Maiko! I imagine you must have laughed more than a few times while Paolo was taping you and you had to make it look like he was not there 😁
As someone who works in the plastics industry; it's horrific and typical. We waste more today than we did yesterday, despite knowing that it does damage our home.
it's part of the culture, in Japan, packaging is seen as an integral part of the product experience rather than just a way of containing a product. Shoppers value and expect high quality packaging.
I had to laugh at all the cans of coffee in the fridge 😆 I became a fan of them from traveling to Japan on business over the years (a lot of my food there comes from konbinis :-) Her natto looked so yummy, I miss it here in the US! When I first tasted it I hated everything about it, but a Japanese friend challenged me, saying that if I ate it every day for two weeks, I wouldn’t be able to live without it. So I tried doing it, and somewhere about a week and a half in, it suddenly tasted good! 😮 It was odd in that the change was so sudden, it went from kinda-yucky to tasty overnight, with very little in-between :-)
Awesome video! Great to see Maiko relaxed when eating. We all know that doesn't happen when the Wolv-man is with you. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 2.81 M of us love them all whenever you post!💯💯💯💯💯
I went to Japan 12 times and travel all aroud this beautiful country. I love the traditional japanese way of life and this mixture of traditional and modernity .I hope to come back soon and wish the best for Japan and japanese people . Very healthy brekfast, i love japanese foof. 🙏🙏❤️
The portion sizes and the type of food eaten in Japan is amazing. It seems like most of the time normal people in Japan eat small portions meanwhile I’m here eating a big steak for dinner😅
I love how everyone in the comments put into words what I couldn't explain how I felt watching this video. Like a National Geographic documentary observing the wild and David Attenborough are spot on!! 😂
I confess that my husband introduced me to both this entertaining Paolo From Tokyo youtube channel and fascinating video of What My Japanese Wife Eats In A Day, the variety of foods that she consumes during the day featured is terrific to watch (the yogurt with the fruit and granola,Yakisoba with the egg, the small fish with the food balls etc.)

I love how she preserves us and may influence us to eat healthy and that's quite common in Japan. I love Maiko so much!! She is very organized, healthy, and an easygoing person with a descent of boldness that she posses sometimes 😂 Keep it up Paolo and Maiko!! been here since 500k subs 😚
You talk like you lived with her your whole life. Remember, influencers only post what you want to see

I like it how he patiently explains what everything is and what it is used for
I would love if Maiko does some cooking videos of different meals she makes. I'm always trying to eat more Japanese food but struggle to make up a whole menu
this🙌
Love the amount of effort put into making a healthy breakfast.
Makes me reconsider my current breakfast.
The only healthy food she ate for breakfast was the eggs. The rest are carbs and sugar. The Natto, or fermented soybeans are also full of carbs and fiber (which is indigestable). Although the fermentation process reduced the amount of anti-nutrients, but they are still present in the food.
@@titiung carbs are good. fiber is also good. theres two types of fiber: solube and insoluble. You need both of them. Seaweed is also extremely nutritious. You clearly dont know much about nutrition
@@Novafan No, carbs are NOT essential, and are NOT good. You have been brainwashed, in fact everyone has been for the past decades. Fiber and indigestible and too much fiber can cause constipation. If you wanna talk about what food is truly nutrition, it's animal meat and animal fat.
@@titiung did i ever say carbs are essential? they're completely fine. stop with your stupid pseudoscience
@@Novafan natoo and miso has a lot of protein, and a lot of different vitamines. Natto is recommend in Europe to prevent osteoporosis, and also facilitate the digestion.
I’m obsessed with the organization and cleanliness. Everything seems right out of Marie Kondo’s playbook.
Her portions are well-controlled and the ratios make perfect sense.
OCD heaven 😍
Ocd is never heaven but ok
that's why i like japan...everything organized

haha…no thank you 💀
@@avocado5387 Amen
I love the respect and honor of the food. Truly a beautiful celebration of wellness and culture. Thank you for sharing.
Surprising how many packaging or industrial food is used for a day. Almost everything comes from a package, dressing, sauces, cheese, fish…. Even the morning coffee is not brewed, just a legion of bottles in the fridge. I prefer the mediterranean way of cook and buy the product.
Most of the food my wife cooks is from scratch, including all the vegetables which are from local farms, the miso she made , the fish is fresh etc. I lived on the Island of Crete for a year. While there is plenty of fresh food and ingredients it's not much different from Japanese in terms of fresh food.
@@gordonbgraham i am from the mediterranean area... i know how it is, but i dont talked about Freshness, what i mean is that we buy fish from local stores and it is raw and not "industrial" packaged, mostly wax-paper wrapping the food directly when you order and the same with vegetables or other foods, no precutting or already prepared. Here she is eating "fresh" but each small piece is packaged in individual portions (Natto, fish, vegetables already cutted, etc..), thats not usual in Greece, italy, spain...
@@cgmcgmcgmcgmcgm She’s in Tokyo. We’re surrounded by small farms that have produce stands. There is freshly made soba noodles, people make their own miso, and the fish is freshly caught etc.
@@gordonbgraham He was talking about the packaging, bad for the earth.
@@titiung I don’t think waste is his point. I’m pretty sure it’s freshness.
Would love to see family favorite recipes series! And maybe a refrigerator tour!!! Thank you Maiko and Paolo for sharing with us!
@M simp
she made that soo effortlessly!! I need more cooking videos from your wife please
Woooow man! Japanese dishes besides being healthy are also beautiful to see, they look like art to me. Cheers guys!
This is why East Asians stay young longer than the rest of the world. Eat healthy!
Japan has the longest list of food additives out of any countries in the world,some of which are considered carcinogenic and generally unhealthy, why do you think the food looks so good?
Agreed .. the amount of MSG, colouring and preservatives in Japanese snacks!!!
@@doriswaddington2418 MSG isn't that bad for you in moderation.....
@@bababamooo906 yeah...plus most walk to get everywhere.
I'm just shocked at the amount of plastic used. Especially single use plastic. It's amazing to see that Japan is still very much riddled with it. For some reason i thought it'd be a more environmentally friendly country. Is this common in most japanese households? When she opens the fridge the sea of plastic is really all I can focus on.
unfortunately yes, japan uses a hella ton of plastic in pretty much everything since they prioritize convenience
in general, asian countries arent as concerned about eco friendliness as the west
Go away liberal
Yes shocking amount of plastic
@dot my dude, I am asian (chinese) and can confirm that china (makes up a large majority of asia) also thinks this way and if not, even worse. public trash cans are overflowing with plastic bags and bottles, shreds of plastic littering the sidewalks, you have to buy water in plastic jugs because the tap water is not safe to drink, etc. it’s pretty bad
on a side note, i did develop constant coughing and got allergic to dairy for the few months when i stayed there, so thats something lmao
Yes. And I rarely saw people using reusable bags for shopping.
I had strong David Attenborough vibes hahaha! Especially when you had the shot behind the plant looking over your wife’s shoulder… and your nearly silent voice… we’re just watching your wife chilling in her natural environment. Really wonderful to see how your wife prepares and eats her food. Can we see one where we observe a typical day in Wolfie’s life?
All I know is that I'm afraid to try Nato. But I'm happy to see how much she values nutritious foods. Good for their children.
I have a love hate relationship with Natto. I’d been trying it because it is supposed to be good for you and I have to be in the mood for it but I also haven’t found one that I like a ton either..
This was very fun and yet unique and different than the usual video which is so cool. A great video to see a slice of Maiko's daily routine~ You guys have a great weekend! :D
I like how in the beginning he says my "japanese" wife like he has one from every nation lmao
Ah yes, a wife
I’d love to have one some day
You'll get one like everyone else, not a big deal.
You could get luck or have a great personality. Or just be fit and have money and you're guaranteed to get one regardless of how attractive your face is.
@@Woeisme2 Tbh you don't want a partner just because of the visuals, won't make you happy long-term^^
You could kidnap one from another tribe. Classic.
@@Woeisme2 being rich as a man is like a girl being pretty. you might not marry a girl just because she's pretty but my goodness doesn't it help??? wouldn't you overlook a few flaws for a very pretty girl? and girls will overlook a lot of flaws for a very rich man. also this analogy is from a Marilyn Monroe movie I can't remember what it's called.
I appreciate the vid. I have a couple of those premade coffees that she started the video with in my fridge and realized I have no idea how to serve it. I've been meaning to try it soon so good thing I saw this!
I really laughed at "she usually orders uber eats", but today she decided to cook to save our money" hahaha really funny
especially when he has 3mil subs.
@@wanashthegash number of subs is irrelevant.
The downside of having an Asian wife is the constant rotten egg smell and slimy food.
This differs from your usual take, but this is SO good! My wive and I can’t help but laugh a lot watching this video, given Maiko is acting like one being observed. This is educating and yet very entertaining! Keep it up Paolo and Maiko!
Maiko's got it right: she sticks to small portions but packs them full of nutrition.
Her meals are very well balanced and look very tasty! I am often guilty of relying on conbini meals for breakfast and lunch, especially on work days, and when I get home, the only thing I cook myself is dinner. Weekends are the only time I can cook each meal for myself, but sometimes I splurge and go out to eat!
Her meals are so meticulously prepared as well as beautiful to look at.
Yeah, but you know she doesn't eat like that every day. They probably chose those dishes just for the vid content...lol
You are a very fortunate man to have such a wonderful wife and family. 😊💗🙏✌️💪
OMG, i love how she put shirasu in the onigiri! We used to live in Kugenuma Kaigan (near Enoshima) where everyone eats shirasu. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find shirasu here on the east coast USA
Thank YOU so much, Paolo and lovely Maiko! You have made a cute, funny and yet very informative video. LOVE IT! ❤
I want to have dinner with Maiko!!!! Everything she prepared looks AMAZING and makes me hungry. UGH--Americans eat too much fat and carbohydrates. I admire so much about Japanese culture--I hope to visit Japan some day. Thank you, Maiko, for your lovely cooking and thank you, Paolo, for your wonderful videos! Love from America!
the food looks so good! always love seeing maiko on the channel 😊
You should definitely do more Japanese home cooking type videos!
Yes please do, a Japanese cooking channel 👍🏼😝
Wow this was so relaxing...I could watch for hours and slowly fall asleep. I love it!
Yay! I was so looking forward to this video! My takeaways.... she puts care and thought into her meals even if it's just for her and she's at home. It's a far cry from eating a Lean Cuisine on the couch. I believe you said she lived in the USA at one point. I'm curious how her meals changed when living here. I imagine she had to do without many products she's used to being readily available in Japan. I'd love a video where she shows us how to make a few easy recipes with ingredients we can readily get here!
It really depends where in the US. Here in urban California, there are Japanese grocery stores. Plus 99 Ranch Market has Japanese food (altho not as much) and even Safeways in many areas will carry things I've only seen in Japan.
@@youtubeojunk I'm guessing your access to authentic Japanese food/ingredients is better than mine in Wisconsin lol! 🤣
@@brittanyherm9942 I live in the UK and as I don't live in a big city Japanese ingredients are limited especially if you want to buy them in bulk! I get my mirin/soy/rice vinegar and rice from Amazon as I also have to deal with less packaging too
I love how Japanese people eat. It just looks so healthy! I watch this other Japanese lady on here also. Omg, her food always looks so good! 😩
I love the aesthetic your wife puts into the finished meals
Nice she eats so good. I struggle with what to make and eat everyday. Would be nice to have a routine. This is inspiring. She is an amazing mom and wife. ♡
This was an amazing video! Can you make a sequel where you show what you usually eat in a day? (as someone who is living in Japan?)
I just made a video about what my Japanese wife cooks for dinner for a week. In case you’re interested!
@@barrettish amazing cooking by your wife😋
@@roboaxe6688 Thank you!!
I couldn't help wonder what Paolo eats. Surely after all that time in Japan, he also eats at least some of the same food. Or when he's not making a video of Maiko eating, is he out going to some American based place like McD's or KFC? LOL!
I like how everything she makes is so perfectly prepared I would be like, "it's hot!"
Hmm... Interesting
It probably is not, usually. Of course you put in more effort when you are filmed
I highly doubt this is what she eats everyday. She is being filmed so duh you gonna show you eat perfect healthy foods when in reality you skip meals or eat something quickly put together especially when you are a parent.
@@Steven-tl8fs So true! The faster the better when you're a parent of a toddler!
Well it's filmed so she isn't gonna try to look embarassing
just so you know, Paolo, you should keep doing a day in a life videos, I enjoy them:) and they are good, maybe you should do a day in the life of a doctor, or something like that!
edit: 100 likes
Day in the life are literally his best videos. I know they take tons of effort, but I wish he would do one at least every 2nd week.
I agree
@@Bugge5001 Chill out. They've been having scheduling issues due to their son being sick. I'd rather have no videos at all than have their son not have adequate care from his parents lol.
@@mark030531 I am completely chill bro? I know they are a lot of effort and I know they have a son to take care of, but I wish it was his main type of video overall still.
@@Bugge5001 Of course it's their main type but what can you do? They probably had a lot of A Day in the Life filming scheduled that had to be cancelled. I just think it's pretty inconsiderate to ask for content that creators would obviously want to put out as much as possible if they could but were not able to due to unforeseen circumstances. OP is literally saying "you should keep doing a day in a life videos" as if they don't care that Paolo already explained why some planned content will be delayed lol
So super healthy
My favorite breakfast and lunch and dinner !! Oishi !! My Japanese mother always was obsessed with her skin, my skin as well. Fun video !!
Japanese wife eats this: loses weight
I eat this: gains 10lbs.
Great acting Maiko! I imagine you must have laughed more than a few times while Paolo was taping you and you had to make it look like he was not there 😁
That was excellent.
I learned so much.
thanks.
Really interesting. The only thing I found shocking is the amount of plastic waste a single person can generate. So much prepackaged food 😱
Dont talk about the dark side, you're speaking of the truth they don't want to hear.
As someone who works in the plastics industry; it's horrific and typical. We waste more today than we did yesterday, despite knowing that it does damage our home.
Japan is particularly wasteful a out this, the package has so many plastic layers.....
it's part of the culture, in Japan, packaging is seen as an integral part of the product experience rather than just a way of containing a product. Shoppers value and expect high quality packaging.
@@tompeatey superficial things don't excuse environmental ignorance
I had to laugh at all the cans of coffee in the fridge 😆 I became a fan of them from traveling to Japan on business over the years (a lot of my food there comes from konbinis :-)
Her natto looked so yummy, I miss it here in the US! When I first tasted it I hated everything about it, but a Japanese friend challenged me, saying that if I ate it every day for two weeks, I wouldn’t be able to live without it. So I tried doing it, and somewhere about a week and a half in, it suddenly tasted good! 😮 It was odd in that the change was so sudden, it went from kinda-yucky to tasty overnight, with very little in-between :-)
Awesome video! Great to see Maiko relaxed when eating. We all know that doesn't happen when the Wolv-man is with you. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 2.81 M of us love them all whenever you post!💯💯💯💯💯

For anyone curious the worm looking things in the onigiri is boiled whitebait (or a variant of) 👍
Thank you! I had all the other ingredients, maybe have those in the pantry also. Looks so good!
Your wife is so lovely. I love the culture of the Japanese. Everything is so beautiful and orderly - even preparing food. You're a lucky man.
But he did not get any meal! I was hoping he would atleast get dinner..
@kami her comment is valid because thats what most households do. Do you not know how married couples live?
hes not lucky he has earned it
Cajun is mixed "race"
Hi Paola Hi Maiko Hi Wolfy Thanks for the Miso preservation tips! Glad you’re all feeling better ❤️
You're a very lucky fella to have a wife who is such a fantastic cook and who makes such healthy fare.
5:09 this legit reminds me Animal Planet when they want to observe an animal in its environment but have to say something very important 🤣😂
You are one lucky guy Paolo, your wife looks like she has her "stuff" together. Always good to have a wife that knows what's she is doing.
Someone has got to know what's going on.
@@simulatethat6099 I lol'ed. 🤣
Her food looks so delicious 😋 I like how she takes into consideration what is healthy..... you should do more cooking videos
Yeah she eats so healthy
What a cook! The coffee shop music makes this video very therapeutic
Paolo's wife: "Stop changing the camera angles and just let me cook!"
I love everything about Japan, the breakfast, the lunch and dinner, the wife 😊
The portion sizes and the type of food eaten in Japan is amazing. It seems like most of the time normal people in Japan eat small portions meanwhile I’m here eating a big steak for dinner😅
In America, everything is SUPER-SIZED !
Meticulously clean food storage and preparation areas! Fun to watch.
I love how everyone in the comments put into words what I couldn't explain how I felt watching this video. Like a National Geographic documentary observing the wild and David Attenborough are spot on!! 😂
I got hungry watching this. I wanted to try Maiko-san's bangohan, it looked so good! Thank you for another great video, Paolo!
I like the way this is narrated just like a wildlife documentary..
I confess that my husband introduced me to both this entertaining Paolo From Tokyo youtube channel and fascinating video of What My Japanese Wife Eats In A Day, the variety of foods that she consumes during the day featured is terrific to watch (the yogurt with the fruit and granola,Yakisoba with the egg, the small fish with the food balls etc.)
You're a lucky man Paolo, I'd love to have food like that all the time!
Your wife cooks so effortlessly! Love to watch her. You are a lucky man.
She’s only making for herself
OMG everything looks so delicious. I'd love to have those ingredients at the nearby markets around me in this town. Loved this episode! 💛
I'm pretty sure this woman can make anything look appetizing! Wow!
