    Japanese food - we all love it but it can be hard to make healthy choices so I challenged myself to eat only - healthy - Japanese food for a weekend! I'm showing you 4 recipes and 2 restaurants that serve healthy, traditional Japanese food. What was your favorite dish that I ate? Do you have any recommendations for me?

    I appreciate how in Japan you can buy cheap fish and consume it on a regular basis. I miss this in my Western diet. You should make more cooking videos, it's both cute and encouraging to other amateur chefs out there (like myself). :D

    ive been living in japan for a year. i never ate any of the foods that you typically see in restaurants that are unhealthy. but i was eating the "healthy japanese diet" steamed rice, the salads and proteins. i gained 10lb LOL avoid the sticky rice (its not good for you and its way to glutenous for keeping weight down) also a lot of the side dishes actually still have a lot of sugar and salt in them which is another hidden calorie that will put on the pounds regardless it being a vegetable, like the kombocha, pickled foods etc. even the fish is salt marinated or miso jelly. basically it has healthy items in it that are good for you, and in old fashion terms fat was consider healthy because it has a lot of nutrients in. but if you want to stay slim, just boil broccoli plain and boil chicken. just boil things lol!

    白身魚のタラの切り身などと豆腐を土鍋で短時間煮るだけ!

    Being born in Japan, I am used to eating natto, but I usually add something else such as chopped green onions, daikon oroshi (sieved daikon), higiki, etc. to make natto more palatable. Experiment and you might get used to eating one of the most healthy foods.

    Wonderful video, Sam! It was an enjoyable new twist on your videos to see you preparing some recipes at home. Also, it's a real testimony to Japan that you were able to hang out with friends without a mask! Finally, I thought your (somewhat uncooperative...) outfit was very cute. Keep up the great work with your channel!

    HAKUSAI which is used for NABE (hot pot), you don't need to cut and remove the bottom part of.
    Thats too pity to waste the veggie! Zu gut, um es wegzuschmeißen...)
    You can peel the leafs like banana and only cut and remove the 2cm at the bottom.
    You can add Kimchi too, if you like spicy food.

    3:21 Yes! I was just thinking about that! All the times I ordered unsweetened matcha lattes.. And they sweeten the matcha powder... Eeeew! I don't mind consuming sugar/salt/... Just don't sneak it in the ingredients. I prefer to adjust my own levels. Might need to try natto.

    I'm sure someone already said this, but the way they get the sandwiches so neat is to wrap them REALLY tightly in plastic wrap, THEN cut them.
    I've seen it on a few of those calming Japanese channels (such as Fumi and Nami's life).
    I've always wanted to make it, I think I'll try either non-dairy cream (like oat cream) or greek yoghurt.

  • @lynda.grace.14

    The natto breakfast is nicer if you use more rice and add a raw egg to blend with the rest. Less stringy and easier to eat as well as more delicious protein.
    Thanks for pointing out how unhealthy mainstream Japanese food is, as well as how picky and inconvenient to prepare.
