This is how my Japanese wife eats super cheap in a day, less $2 per meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Before I showed what My Japanese wife eats typically eats in a day, but this time I wanted share how she is able to do it on a budget for an entire day. This is a day in a Japanese woman's life in Japan when eating all alone when trying to save money. As a Japanese mother it is sometimes difficult to eat these meals as she has to consider what the rest of the family wants to eat, but when she is by herself, sometimes she can in Japan inexpensively. My Japanese wife, Maiko, born and raised in Japan, and the mother of our 2 and half year old son. First she cooks rice, as it’s one of the best ways in Japan to save, while also satisfying her stomach, as one bowl costs only about 20-30 cents. Luckily, Japanese are so passionate about their rice, including my wife, that many rice cookers can uniquely adapt to 40 different rice brands and can also be programmed for the desired result such as moistness and firmness, which allow her to eat a satisfying dish at a great price.

Shame on the government of Japan. If people can't afford to eat the finest meat and seafood the government should help them.
Didn't realize your were having a hard time Pablo. I will get order of bokksu to help you out.
Lol, from far away, the thumbnail for this video reads: JAPANESE WIFE CHEAP 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to get some of her recipes😊
I think saying just "my wife" is enough. Pronouncing "...my Japanese wife" is repetitive and unnecessary. We already know you were in Japan.
I love how you’re talking so quietly, like a wildlife documentary maker observing without trying to scare the animals 😆
LOL true
His wife is the animal😭😭😭
*whispers* "my Japaneeese wife'.
And she's wearing an animal print dress too 😂
Bruh
Now I want to see what Paolo and Wolfy eats in a day, and even make it into a family series, for example Maiko sharing recipes for favorite meals and snacks
Me too
Watching Paolo meticulously get the cereal bowls and lovingly pour Honeynut Cheerios for himself and Wolfy, then following that with 2% milk out of a glass bottle, then grabbing the minute maid OJ... ;)
Fried chicken lol
Please❤
I think if they would, they'll upload it on tokyo zebra instead
5:40 I love how she's just eating her meal pretending Paolo doesn't exist and just enjoying her food.
Yeah 😂
😂😂😂
Lolz 😅
professionalism at its finest!
I just think it’s so funny that you’re filming her on her “alone” days when you’re right there.. and she’s just making food for herself all day LOL a Queen!
Do you have a video about Japanese grocery staples you guys keep on a regular basis? It’s so interesting to see her pull out these unique ingredients
She's his editor too.
She only makes one serving for each meal, so Paolo has to eat out.
@@wm6549 A lot of Japanese business men do this. Even the ones who work in the dining industry.
@@ChauNyan now she’s editing her own video😂
LOLZOLZOZLZOZLLOZLOLO,OLLLOLOLOZLZZZLZL111!!!11!11111
I just love how Japanese home appliances sing to you when it's starting a process and when it's done
My washing machine and dryer do the same. With a nice tune.
I’d go crazy
Yeah no. Anything more than a discreet beep would drive me up a wall. I don't need my appliances to do a whole song and dance to let me know it's done.
@@raven_bard AHAHAHA It sounds like a possession when you explain it like that🤣🤣
I love it when they do that. These people in the comments must not know annoying it is when all you hear coming from a microwave is an annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP 😭 I always try to stop it before then
I would love to see Miko in a channel about prepping cheap eats to take to the office. Looks so delicious! Great job guys!
Maiko actually have her own channel talking about make up
You can find Maiko's channel by searching CZcams for Maiko de Guzman. I would like to see a more detailed meal preparation video from Maiko.
Naw you doin too much. You just tryna see her cheeks
I love her smile as she sits quietly with your whispered commentary. It's fun to watch because Maiko is not usually this quiet in a normal video. It feels like you two are making a lighthearted commentary.
It’s so different to the way I cook as a westerner. I can not imagine cooking such tiny and delicate dishes. Even for my family of 5, I usually cook way too much. I’ve always unintentionally been a bulk cooker, but our freezer is so tiny I’m trying to change and cook more reasonable portions that people will actually eat. But I like the idea of bulk cooking and not having to cook every single individual meal! Especially when you’re busy and have a family.
I love how she can make the meal looks so fancy yet it’s so cheap 💗
Can you do an updated video on what Wolfe eats in a day or throughout the week? I loved seeing how she prepped his food in the beginning. Now that I have my own 1 year old, it would be nice to be inspired for new cooking ideas.
I love the way she cooks, simple and fast. She washed the dishes right way, amazing.
I’m impressed on how neat and organised your fridge is!
I think it was shown in one of their videos that Maiko enjoys organizing their fridge.
You don't think they clean it before filming for a video that might get a million views? 🤔
What brand rice cooker? I want it. What kind of ingredients ie., Squirted seasoning in the soup. How often does she shop to keep all the food fresh? Fantastic video!
@@marianettekauahikaua7987 The rice cooker is the brand Zojirushi I believe
Paolo you are a lucky man to have a such smart and ingenious wife. It is not easy making a tasty meal at such an inexpensive price. I remember my own mother (she is in heaven now) who used to cook white rice and eat it with sardines and kimchi*. I myself will make 7 or 8 soy sauce eggs (like the ones used in ramen) and my wife will eat one of those with her breakfast. This was a great episode Paolo!
kimchi?
It's a drama, bro! Don't get fuzzy.
@@questionableperson2026 ooops. Duly corrected.
Did you just write smart and smart wife? English much?
@Kiwi Dll "smart and ingenious"....creative, original, inventive. You can be smart but none of those other traits.
THIS IS SO GOOD. I love how organized the kitchen is.
Yup, i'm so envious because of their organized kitchen too huhu
Cooking cheap and yet tasty meal is already a super skill, but being able to arrange it so nicely? I can only dream about that level of cooking. Big respect
I would love to see a video about all the different types of sauces in your fridge and how you use them! There’s a lot more variety than I’m used to and would be curious to know. Excellent video as always!
I ❤ this video. You were whispering like you were doing a nature video. Seriously, Maiko is a treasure. Would she mind sharing the miso egg recipe?
Love how maiko smiles, so sweet. And her meals are inspiring. I hope I can wfh and cook simple and delicious meals like her
I enjoyed this video. The toned down volume fits the setting, but I'll admit I love your energy and excitement. Keep up the amazing work and thanks to your wife for a glimpse into her daily routine.
The aesthetics of plating makes the meals look very decent and nice! Doesn’t feel like budget meals at all 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻📧
I just found your channel I live in the US . I love the way Japanese take time to make everything so pleasing Miko is so chic I would love to see a video on her skin care and her fashion style and more of her cooking .
Thank you Paolo 💕
You are an absolute legend! Keep up the great work! :D
Another great video! Thank you for letting us follow you around in your kitchen! I would watch 100 more of these videos!
More of this please Paolo. Very helpful. More power!
Can we get a video of how Miko does grocery shopping and stocks the fridge so amazingly!?
I want to see a video Maiko narrating your day.
Thanks for sharing your wife meals… it’s amazing to see how many variations of the rice dish that was made.
I have always loves your mom day in the life videos and anything with your wife... I have always loved the idea of you doing different types of family day in the lives like maybe dads and mums and working parents or single mom's and dads ect. I just love the idea of seeing how many different japanese families operate
Your wife seems so in peace with herself, it's soothing to watch, you're a lucky fella :P
happy wife, happy life
What you didn't see is while she was eating that, Paulo was eating a 20 ounce waygu steak wrapped in bacon for every meal. Delicious.
Lol 😂 😅
cant say he didnt deserve it
Need more!! Love this
I'm just glad there's a paolo video always makes my day
I was confused for a second when "breakfast" icon came on for the dinner part. Minor detail in a very awesome video. Maybe next time we can also have what Paolo eats in a day!
I want this to become a series. ❤❤❤
Hi Palolo
I love watching your day in the life. Also watching your family trips. Keep up the great work!!
Love this video! Please make more of these what we ate or cook in a day videos! 😊
I imagine David Attenborough is like this when he is at home observing and narrating himself doing daily things 😄❤ Love it none the less. I will have to try more Japanese recipes, the Tarako Spaghetti meal looks simple but delicious (I love Roe).
Maiko must have lots of fun helping with these food-centric videos because she gets to eat :)
Great video!
I enjoy how you whisper as if to not interrupt your subject! Sets the viewer's focus very effectively!:)
This video was so chill. Love it. 💯🤙🏾
I would LOVE to see how she grocery shops for the week to get an idea of how she meal-preps!
The first seconds after the intro I felt like watching a national geographic documentary, like, here you see a wild Maiko in its natural habitat.😂 But loved the video, thanks for the insight!
I loved this video. Thank you. Love your channel and family.
Love seeing the family updates! ✨👍
Love this video! Now, I want to make her dishes at home. Now, we need a Maiko cooking show!!! I would love to learn how to make quick and easy and yet delicious Japanese meals. Thanks.
Every time he said ''My Japanese Wife''. Hilarious.
That all looked so good, everything, thank you 🙏
Really good video, great production quality Paolo!
That morning Nespresso never fails to put a smile on my face as well!! Love your vids guys!! 🎉❤
If only she knew what a real coffee could taste like....ah well
You should film a "day in the Life" of one of the Bokksu traditionnal snack's factories, it could be fun !
Definitely
Go, Maiko! 😃😃😃😃You are a true food artist! The meals are so incredibly prepared and interesting!
I love these videos! They are so insightful!
🔥🔥🔥🔥good video paolo keep up the good content 😎💪🏾
Could you please share the recipes she made from this video? Such as the soft boil egg for breakfast, and the pasta for lunch 😊please and thank you!
Yeah I was thinking this too! But I think it is just a 6 minute boiled egg smothered in white miso paste and wrapped overnight in the fridge. Great idea!
yum!! just the presentation itself is 100!
Very clue. I love the simplicity and contrasting intricacy of each plating. Lol rice cooker on deck. Great feature, Paolo.
I love how even the ingredients are so efficiently packaged.
Yes. But i wonder its there a lot of plastic
Nice to have such reasonable grocery costs in Japan. This would be much more expensive in Canada. Lovely content!
This is so soothing and relaxing 😌
Beautiful to see. Thank you!
Just a note, at the end where you have the price for dinner, the banner says breakfast!
I love this! Any segments with your wife are amazing!
I really enjoy watching your wife cook, it’s very satisfying 😊
This is amazing! Would love to see an episode on Recycling.
Please show us how to make the marinated egg
If Miko wasn’t so busy already I think she would be great at doing cooking videos. I would watch.
Yeah, but amazing wife n mother she is
I loved this . Continue them please 😊
It's pleasure to sub your channel I learned sooooooo much about japan
I love how you say my JAPANESE wife every chance you get 😂😂
It's how he does every single "day in the life of a typical Japanese xyz worker"
😂
Another great video. I'd love to see Maiko show some of her recipes.. The food looks delicious! 😋
very clean rice cooker, like a new brand one, good job!
"Next week, we are going to see how my Filipino wife, Angela, does the same in Manila."
LOL. When you say this is my Japanese wife, it implies that you have more than one wife.
Wow eggplant for 20 cents! That’s cheaaaap. I wanna move to Japan now. I really enjoy this videos and all the others. ❤
I love this video just like the last one. Also i love the fact of how cost efficient it can be with food living in Japan 😊
Hey Paolo! this video is calm and great🤓😎
Love how you're whispering like this a nature documentary.
"Her most expensive item of the day" that line had me laughing I love these videos.
that was awesome!!
Awesome video as always Paolo. The food you show on your channel looks so delicious it makes me hungry just watching your videos.
Bell button army lesssgoooo 😂😂
*Paolo off in the corner eating a $35 Wagyu Burger with Truffle in one hand, the camera in the other while whispering* This is my Japanese wife showing how she lives on less than $2 per meal a day...
I like how everything is so well organized man lol that fridge is clean.. mine is like juts everywhere
Loved it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So calming
Love this video! I’m head cook in my household but when no one is home it’s bowls of peas, canned tuna, protein shakes, and plain pasta for me 🤣🤣
I love cooking for other people but when it’s just me, I’ll eat a pop tart and keep it moving 😂
Hold up! Miko eats on a budget while you go all over the place eating like a king? ... 😁
🤣🤣🤣
Love this video!! Would love to see more meal prep videos.
Big fan of your videos! Keep up the great work
Are you sure your wife isn't being held hostage? Throughout the video, she didn't say a single word, although she worked like hell while you were having fun with the camera. ;)
why does maiko need to eat on a budget paolos channel is huge lmao 😂 he should be spending more money on his wife 😂
Health is the real wealth
Loved it. Want to see more. The whispering made me giggle. I enjoyed the video. 🥰
I feel happy to see your happy and interesting life. Your life is precious.
Paolo, you take the Mother of your son, out, NOW, for dinner, and do it often. Maiko-san needs more calories with her work and Mom schedules😎😉
your channel are the reason why me, my husband and daughter are always looking forward to every Friday hahaha
great video!!
the amount of packaging in Japan is gross
What's wrong with that? The packaging keeps it good and secure
@@Huteu it's terrible for the environment
@@sharpguesser yeah but Japan has its own disposal system. Literally the reason that they're one of the most cleanest countries in the world beside from Singapore.
I may get hate for my comment, but is it really necessary for you to be quoting “My Japanese Wife This” “My Japanese Wife That”???? Like we get it, your wife is Japanese… why do you have to mention it all the time? Why not say “My Wife”? Plain and simple
Yeah.
she is a great cooker! simple and delicious!👏👏👏
Excellent show. Looked delicious and I did get food ideas thank you. Can you make more of these cheap eats videos? Enjoyed very much
Do you have a "non" Japanese wife somewhere, thus the need to distinguish the country of origin?
