3 ONE-POT SOUPS in 20 mins by Japanese mom 

After returning from Boston, I've clarified two goals for this channel😌 1. To empower your life with Japanese coo☺king. 2. To support talented Japanese artisans with remarkable skills. To achieve these goals, I need your advice and support. To everyone who watched until the end, I'm awaiting your comments. Arigato

Ichiju sansai tableware would be really nice! I’m in America and while my local Asian grocery stores do sell tableware, I’m not always sure which are rice bowls or soup bowls, which bowls are meant for child portions versus adult portions, and they don’t always sell plates that look the right size for side dishes. Having a curated set like that would be really nice to see and would make it easier to follow along!

I believe that the bowls and plates are a great idea. A cookbook can come later.

Miwa-san, thank you for posting this videos ❤ ill go to japan next year as a student, so seeing this cooking videos will help me to try cooking different, healthy and quick things.

I do like the bowls and the knifes they are beautiful but sometimes in other parts of the world we can’t get local spices and things so maybe a collaboration with a company prepare to offer spices worldwide

Maybe a set of essential tools for Japanese cooking? I’m not sure what they would be because I just started learning about Japanese cooking. I think I need a tamago pan. 😅🤔

The bowls and plates you use are stunning so by all means go ahead with your idea of monetising by retailing kitchen items. I’d love a decent Japanese cooking knife so definitely happy with that. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for these soup recipe ideas, I always enjoy cooking from your recipes. I wanted to suggest you could offer a seasonal gift box that includes recipe cards (instead of an entire book), small gifts and stationary from local artisans, food-related items such as utensils or flavoring packets or candies, etc for the fall/winter and then spring/summer. That would make for continued interest in supporting your work because the contents would change over time and people would look forward to the next box. It would require a lot of planning to put together, but the idea is pretty popular among small businesses here, so that's something to consider!

Dear Miwa sun ☀️ About frozen vegetables. when vegetables are shock-frosted like the ones from supermarket, the nutrients and good stuff inside are kept. So it's very convenient and still healthy as well. with warm regards from Germany 🙏

Miwa, The way you plate and present your meals are so incredibly attractive. It is one of the reasons I started watching your channel and joined your cooking school & club. What a great idea to offer a set of everyday table ware that would assist home cooks to set their table in the Ichiju Sansai way. I also the love the woven mat you use that completes the look. Another idea if it were ever possible would be to publish a cookbook. This would be a great way to help more people empower their lives with your style of Japanese cooking. It could reach a different audience in addition to You Tube viewers. There are many Japanese cookbook available, but not one that encompasses ALL you have to offer 👩‍🍳💌😍😋

I’m late to this channel but yes, I agree first thing I thought of is the dishes and really love the portion control aspect as well.

definitely affordable table settings

You could.publish the ecookbooks in print.

The grinding bowl that you use to grind the sesame seeds for the spinach side dish would also be handy. I haven’t seen a good quality one here in the states

Tableware would be really great! :)

I do meal prep almost every night after work so I can get a jump start when I wake up. I'll be tired and chopping veggies, cooking rice and making dashi until 1am. Then when I wake up, I only need to deal with meat and the actual cooking. Most mornings it's just miso and tea. Meal prep lasts at least 2 days for 2 of us, so it's really only a couple nights a week that I have to do it.

Printed cookbooks, healthy Japanese cooking for busy moms! Or just PDFs we can buy and print on our own. For example a beginners guide to ichijyu sansai PDF download with recipes

Hello Miwa-san…..I think a lovely set of bowls, plates and matching dishes with pretty design would be great, knives and some Japanese kitchen items. I’ve been looking for an old school ceramic hand held grater for daikon and fresh ginger. I remember my Mom using this and I cannot find one. I can only find plastic nowadays. Just some ideas. Kio tsukete 😊🇨🇦

I would love the ichiju sansai dish set.

Also I love blue and white dishes so if you could have that as an option as well. When I lived in Japan I got many blue and white rice bowls and ramen bowls, I love them! But many have broken over the years. Also, those stovetop ceramic/clay pots you use for hot pots would be nice

Yes, definitely the bowls, and yes, definitely the knives. I would add also soft wood cutting boards for use with those knives (if they're the ones from your previous video), because I understand you need to use those kinds of cutting boards, and at least here, it's *impossible* to find. I looked. And looked and looked! All cutting boards here are hardwood. Shipping cutting boards might be a bit expensive, but if it's the only option, I think people (like me) would do it I would also think more about things that are related to what your channel is about, and see about offering them too. If you're leaning toward a sort of marketplace with local specialty craftspeople and vendors, you're offering 1) quality products 2) authentic products, 3) products you can't get anywhere else, and 4) products with tradition/history, all of which are very appealing to a lot of people. Soy sauce--if someone is new to Japanese cooking, or Asian cooking in general, chances are they think all soy sauce is the same, because they've only been exposed to one kind (and probably a cheap kind). But there are SO MANY kinds for so many uses with different tastes, not even including the ones that are infused with something else. If there are small traditional companies making that, that would be great to include, and really fun to cook with! Dashi--same thing for this as for soy sauce, there's SO MANY kinds of dashi out there to explore, they I think would be great to include if you can find ones that fit with your vision. Suribachi mortar and pestle (is that what it's called? The bowl you always use to grind stuff)--you can find them online, but it's hard to know which ones are quality, and probably not traditional in any way. If you sold one of those, I know I'd buy one for sure. The earthenware (?) pot you use for cooking and serving things like soups (donabe?)--I love that thing! I want that thing! A couple of sizes available (say, 2 person and 4 person or whatever). Something like that made by craftsmen yes please!

Hai Miwa san I am a foreigner recently came to Japan. I was searching for Japanese home dishes. Your dishes are excellent and easy to cook. I really love to watch this channel Can you also explain the concept of Ichiju sansai and other unique Japanese concepts in your channel. It will also help more foreign viewers, I think. Thanks once again for your wonderful recipes

As a standard white gal living in the country, I find it incredibly difficult to find dishes to serve food in so beautifully, I would very much appreciate some links to find those. Any of the things that you use on the channel you could reach out to for a partnership and offer links. Thank you so much for what you do, its inspirational to us all!

I definitely want one of those knives! I am always admiring Miwa’s knives in her videos! The veggie one especially.. I wish I could get better natto where I live in Canada.

I moved to Japan recently and was thinking to join home cooking class but I found mostly touristy things then I found your channel ❤ very grateful for your work, please share some pregnancy meals in Japan

Hi Miwa, I have been following you from the beginning, and the most important think for me it's the ichiju sansai tableware and I love your recipes because are simple, fast but super good for the guts. Before I met you, I had some health problems caused for the food, but now I can enjoy the food again. Thanks to you.

Could you sell the sesame grinding bowl?

I love the tableware, but I'm in the UK and I would be concerned about the price of shipping. How about cooking books? I know you have some e-books but I much prefer a softback version, so I can flip through easily and see ideas for meals. I particularly like meal prep ideas and your ideas for meals with all the content of the Ichiju Sansai. All the best with your future endeavours

Need to try

I miss those frozen vegetable mix bags they have in Japan; here most all have bell peper in them. no one in my family likes those (I don't like the texture of the frozen ones). My go to lateky has been an egg soup inspired by oyakodon. I make the broth for that with kombu dashiconcentrate, so that with water and make it on the strong side, and add some mirrin and/or soy sauce. That's teh soup base. I usually just add beaten eggs and let them firm up a bit, sometimes I put frozen gyoza in it. but you could add different vegetables, tofu or seeweed. top with green onions and shichimi togarashi. easy and quick and delicious. I think your business ideas are good, but perhaps also think of things like an apron or a dish closh. Cooking utensils I have a lt of dishes but can always use wooded cooking utensils for example :) Or if that is possible work with a food company to do a collaboration brand for dashi or something.

Tableware is a good idea, as are Japanese knives. For people who cannot spend much money, how about something like cooking chopsticks or other specialty Japanese cooking utensils? In the US, if I want cooking chopsticks I have to go to a huge Asian grocery store and try to figure out which ones are really best. If there was a choice that Miwa supported, I would feel more confident with my purchase.

I have been looking for a table set to help me with my meals, so that is a great idea! I would also be curious about the sesame grinding bowl you use. It looks so beautiful and durable. Anything that would support your local artisans would be exciting to see.

great video Miwa, thank you for all that you do

Love the idea of cookware by u be cool

for future me: 3:40 easy tomato/mushroom/egg soup for any meal 5:30 easy spinach side dish i would love to see japanese tableware from you, or affordable japanese grocery items that are rare to find internationally :)

How about podcasting and/or collaborations with other creators within your niche? Cookbook, please! ❤

Is there a product you make at home that could be sold? Like a sauce or spice blend. Tableware and knives are a good idea, but wondering how sustainable that is. Thinking of a service or product that would need to be continually purchased or updated. You’re so knowledgeable. What about classes or “retreat” style courses?

I love your idea for the japanese tableware. Also since you want to promote traditional japanese food and also have a personal journey in gut and skinhealth, I think different themed giftboxes for example for guthealth you can put all kinds of japanese fermented ingredients like nattostarter, shio koji, shoyu koji, amazake and misopaste. or themed giftboxes according to the 4 seasons where you can put like springblossom themed tableware with recipecards and ingredients that are often used in spring, or packs of hotpot seasonings and other winterthemed stuff for the winterbox etc. Also check out kawashimaya and see if you can get a partnership with them. I think the theme of your channel fits so well with what they offer in products. Looking forward to the growth of your channel and business =)

Sponsors from the companies that make seasonings, dishes and cutlery you use and believe in. A place to sell those products. Your own quality line of cookware. A knife designed especially for you. Partner with more established content creators that have a similar mission to create videos to share on both channels, to increase views and exposure. Then do the same for up and coming content creators.

こんにちは! I would like tableware and its size clarification. Here we use any bowl for anything, but I know in Japan that is not the case!

I hope your dishware is dishwasher safe, I and many westerners mainly use dishwasher.

I have same mix of frozen vegetables "just in case"(I need it). And I have same doubts as you, because it is believed, at least in Traditional Chinese Medicine for example, that frozen food looses its energy. But this is a statement that was not (as far as I know) confirmed by science yet. Still I think it is better to use some frozen, but good quality food then fresh, but of bad quality. And if you take frozen food as a part of a meal, it shouldn' t be a problem, problem starts when you eat everything frozen.

How can I find your website for the recipes please

Did you do something to your appreance,? You look so good

Can you please export Koji grains to Australia. We can only buy a very small packet in some Asian supermarkets. There are not many Australian suppliers of Koji and it’s a very hard thing to make at home. Please send us Koji grains!! 🙏

Yes, definitely the knives !🔪 Thank you 😊

👍😋

Using your original recipes, you could write a cookbook.

Tableware

I am in the market for Japanese ceramic tableware. I believe it will be important to portion control. I also want to support true Japanese artisans and their skills. I already purchase specialty sesame oil, teriyaki, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. I am not interested in purchasing Japanese-made knives because I already own good ones... For your business, you may be late to the market. I get email messages every day for Japanese knives.
