A Japanese guy with schizophrenia cooks a traditional Japanese noodle. 

I love these cooking videos so much, they're so calming and chill like spending time with a friend on a casual afternoon. It's also cool to listen details about every dish

フォローしました！美味しそうで健康的ですね。俺はヴィーガンだけど豊さんのレシピ肉使わないので簡単にヴィーガンなの作れますね。1年半は日本に住んでたことがありますがその時東京の大学生だけと時間を過ごしたので違うような日本人の日常を視聴していくのが面白いというか興味深いです。よろしくお願いします！

Tonight for my dinner I ate olive oil potato chips, sweet peas, and a large honey crisp apple. Good.

as someone on a low-income i really appreciate these low-cost cooking videos. inspires me to eat healthier. i am glad to see you looking after your health with good food, especially when schizophrenia and other mental illnesses make it harder for people to take care of themselves.

I love the internet. Your story is an important one, and the internet allows you to tell it. Keep it up and hello from USA!

I just watched your video about "your tiny issue" (English language) where you said that you struggle to talk about complex things. I gotta say, most native speakers can't talk about philosophy/biology in their native languages. The fact that you can make videos in English and people understand you is enough of a proof that your English is good, especially with how different Japanese and English are.

Found this channel and been loving hearing you chat about life and your condition. Following the cooking has been impressing my wife a lot, something you eat on a tight budget is something that is new and interesting to us. Thanks for making these unique videos.

Please post more cooking videos. They’re very calming :)

Thank you so much for sharing your life with us around the world. My daughter enjoys the recipes you show us and she asks me to cook some of them often.

these videos make me feel less alone

👍 Good to see that you do use those carrots' stems and leaves! Many people would discard them. Some Italian "pesto" sauces use carrot/beetroot/radish/... stems and leaves too, in lieu of basil! Did you know that we have millions of neurons all along our digestive tract? It's even called "the second brain" 😲🙂 Great video, as always! 👍👏

Super! Keep uploading your recipes, it’s super entertaining to see you cutting and preparing them! Even make shorts so your channel is featured to even more people! I’m glad it was suggested to me because I found a new worthy RU-vidr ❤

I like that you have simple and easy to follow recipes that are healthy and cheap no matter where you are in the world. You have incredible English. I'll be following your channel Yutaka. Thanks for the video

Please keep sharing recipes and whatever else you want to make videos of, the cadence of your words is very calming and I appreciate how in depth your explanations are!!

this man deserves more clout, his straightforward, giving useful information, practicing his English yet having fun with his videos, we love you Yutaka💕💕

Looks super good chef, your vids are awesome

Hope you are happy and doing well, you seem like a good person to be friends with

I've been around many people with mental health issues. It's fascinating to learn about recognizing behaviors that are "off." Observing you, it's astounding how precise the training can be.

You’re such a good cook! 😊 I love your videos! Keep it up! ❤️🌺

Tasty + healthy + simple, the best combination!

I would love to see you eat the food or share your opinion on it at the end ! It looks so delicious. I love these videos !

That knife has so much history! Very cool recipe, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for another video Yutaka, very simple, very informative, and good food. Have a good day, friend.

thank u for another good video to watch, ive been very out of it and this helped!:D

キラキラおいしいな料理物☆新しいチャンネルと思いから、幸せだ！ 回復を祈っていばんざい、あたしから日本とユタカ様まで 🗾❤

You prepared a delicious looking meal with fresh and inexpensive ingredients.

I enjoy how you talk about food and the words you use to explain taste! It’s very insightful ❤I love mushrooms they add a nice earthiness and the leek is fresh and uplifting! Off topic but I was wondering if you like music? If so what kind of music do you enjoy! I know for some people music isn’t really enjoyable for some with mental illness. Would love to know your opinion!

I enjoy these videos very much. Thank you!🙏

Just discovered your channel and love your videos. I have schizophrenia too

I love watching your cooking videos! I don't cook that much myself (or eat vegetables that much for that matter 😂), but seeing you cook makes me want to try to cook and eat healthier food. Hoping to see you share more of your recipes and story, Yutaka! 😆

I love Japanese food. Especially noodle dishes. I always have miso paste in the pantry and grow some vegetables. Only thing I am hesitant to try is natto. Maybe one day because I do beleive it is power food.Lucky that you can cook your own food. That is always the best! Thank you for sharing. Cheers

I love soba! Think I'll go buy some soba noodles right now. Yesterday i made kimbap!

this looks delicious! i'd love to try it sometime. thank you for sharing :)

I like to take note of the price per calorie ratio when I’m budgeting hard. You may find this useful.

those carrots are so cute 😊

nice channel

Hello, a very healthy and unusual meal. I like soba noodles too they are made from buckwheat. I wish we could get leeks like that in the UK (there is mostly green and not enough white which has such a delicate flavour). I used carrot leaves once before but found them uncomfortable to eat (they were very harsh on my throat). Enjoyed the video very much.

Your English is fantastic, your accent is not super thick, and you're very easy to understand. I heard the Japanese Economy is struggling right now, I hope you're doing well despite the dropping value of the Yen ( A little while ago, 90 yen was 70 cents. Today it's 60 cents.)

Looks good and healthy!

I’ve never had the leaves of a carrot before! They look really tasty though. I have some mental issues of my own, and have always wondered how much my digestive health affects that. It’d be curious to see how a change in diet could affect things

Hello again! Thanks for another video Yutaka. Those are the thinnest, leafiest carrots I've ever seen! Here in the UK carrots are always heavy on the root and light on the leaves. I've never seen such a leafy carrot. I've never eaten tofu, but I understand that it is quite an efficient 'filler' for meals. Also, you said that Japanese doctors said our brain is linked to our stomach: this is the conclusion of a lot of western studies too. It seems that our gut bacteria heavily affects our state of mind. In the past-before modern medicine-people placed a lot of value in our diets, what we consumed, affecting our overall health. They may not have fully understood the underlying causes, but perhaps they had a point. In light of recent research, it seems like the digestive system is heavily linked to mental health. A little English tip: early in the video you used the word 'poverty' a lot. In the word 'poverty', the 'stress' is on 'Pov'. POV-er-tee, rather than 'pov-er-TEE' as you pronounce it in this video. Your English is already very good for a self-taught speaker, but I hope my help can improve it further.

😁😁 great job! love the vids

私はアメリカ人です。あなたは英語でじょうずです❤ 美味しそうですね。がんばって👍

hello Yutaka! i've only ever had fried soba noodles (Yakisoba, i think?), this looks like a much healthier alternative! i also have a limited budget, i understand your logic in saving money and think it is very wise. these ingredients tend to be pretty expensive in america, but i think it is because these ingredients are usually imported and not local. i also dislike carrots, so i will have to look for those little thin carrots with the roots still on. that is a very beautiful knife, by the way!

Looks good, we also use leek for soups in Venezuela. It's especially good for the "pisca andina": a potato soup... Very simple, you could try that.

I'm not a fan of carrots either but it's because of the prep work I have to do to make them tasty in a dish.

ur channel gonna blow up

Ahh!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Is there any community land where you can grow vegetables yourself.... Here in the US, in my community, they rent land for people who like to grow whatever they want during summer. I think it will be fun for you.

Dreaming of that face again It's bright and blue and shimmering Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye In Out In Out A child's rhyme stuck in my head It said that life is but a dream I've spent so many years in question To find I've known this all along So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running? Shrouding all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been I do not recognize the vessel But the eyes seem so familiar Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding And you thought that I had run away Chasing the tail of dogma I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye and there we were

I love natto

You should grow out your beard it would look badass
