What My Japanese Wife Eats in a Day

This is what my Japanese wife normally eats when she’s at home cooking for herself. A very Typical Japanese breakfast, lunch and dinner, especially when I or my 2 year old son is not home with her. This is a day in a Japanese woman's life in Japan when eating all alone. 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 if she could, she would eat this regularly. For example, my Japanese wife makes tamagoyaki, a Japanese rolled egg omelet, typically eaten for breakfast. The seasonings vary depending on the area of Japan, usually sweeter in the east and a strong dashi with a salty appeal in the west. My wife is from Aichi which is located in the middle, so she prefers it sweet with a strong dashi flavor. And she loves natto, fermented soybeans. It has a uniquely strong scent and flavor along with a gooey texture which for many Japanese is part of their everyday meal. There are many ways to eat natto, like eating it with raw egg or mayonnaise. My wife usually prefers to mix it with one of her many Japanese condiment tubes. Today, she’s going with grated ginger.

I love how you call her your japanese wife, as if you have other wives of various ethnicities.
-
Somehow this episode sounds like a national geographic documentary observing the subject in its natural environment :) the food she makes seems so healthy!
-
5:14 why is husband crouched on the floor with his wife in da background, like he's watching wildlife 🤣🥰
-
The soft talking while she was cooking and doing things was hilarious. It was like Steve Irwin sneaking up on a crocodile or something. Too funny.
-
Paolo is like “here is Maiko, my wife, mother of my two year old son, love of my life, my queen” 😂
-
Imagine narrating your wife's life at home like you're David Attenborough. This video is gold.
-
Paolo, please, please have your wife make some more Japanese cooking videos. This was awesome!
-
My mom was from Japan. Watching this video reminded me of her. I miss her terribly. This was a nice video, thanks for sharing.
-
When paolo said “oh and she’s making it just for herself” i laughed because it sounds sarcastically funny
-
i think she ate more nutritious food in one day than i ate in my entire life combined.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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. 🤣
-
I love how many different flavours and textures the meals have, usually I just have a massive plate of one thing
-
Beautiful way of eating and respecting what food is served up - so lovely to see!!
-
Your wife cooks so effortlessly! Love to watch her. You are a lucky man.
-
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.
-
How did your wife keep a straight face while being filmed?😂 There were moments where she looked like she was going to burst out in laughter
-
I like it how he patiently explains what everything is and what it is used for
