A Schizophrenic Japanese Guy Cooks A Miso Soup. I cook and talk about miso soup and the ketogenic diet. #schizophrenia #japan #livingwellwithschizophrenia #japaneseculture #vlog #mentalhealth #mentalilness
Hi Yutaka! Great to see everyday Japanese cooking. I will have to do this some time. Just a little note. “backside” most commonly in English is a polite way of saying “bum” or “bottom”. Instead, “behind me”, or “behind” is the more correct way! Your English is really impressive. It has inspired me to continue learning another language. :)
@@EJW-b3z Thank you for letting me know. I struggle with using English correctly, especially when speaking. I understand that "backside" is incorrect when discussing "behind." Learning the nuances of English takes a lot of time. Without this understanding, it's difficult to speak well and accurately. I appreciate your advice. Thank you!
I love all the ingredients in your miso soup! They are all common ingredients in my mum's miso soup. I love the texture of momendohu, not too firm or soft. Healthy food is actually inexpensive and delicious. I don't go as far as Keto, but I try to have a low carbohydrate intake. It helps me stay healthy. I miss Japanese supermarkets. When I'm in Japan, I go to the nearby supermarkets every day even when I don't need to because it's just fun.
@@junichik2731 I used a piece of Momendofu in this video, but it was my mistake. I usually use a price of Kinudofu. As you know, Momendofu is a little bit hard. But I took a different one I didn't intend while shooting this video. I love Momendofu, too. Miso soup helps save money for its low cost. Thank you for watching!!
Also, Harvard University is now publishing new data on the effectiveness of keto/carnivore for schizophrenia and mental illness. Sent names of scientists on livestream but will leave them in a comment later.
There is also the principle that all plants are in fact medicinal organisms. Plants have sophisticated chemical defenses to prevent animals from eating them. Plants may in this way lead to poor mental health. Keto is fine, carnivore is optimal. Cost of hospital and health is higher than food, at least for me.
@@NahNah-xg5wv The ketogenic diet is so interesting. In Japan, some experts agree with this method, while others oppose it. If my stomach is fine, this will work.
What miso paste did you use? The soup looks really nice. I used to make miso soup occasionally. Now, I'm too lazy and just use the ready made soups (the one where you empty the sachet into a cup and add boiling water). It's lovely.
@@GilbertineableI typically use a pre-packaged miso paste that already contains Wakame, a type of seaweed. In Japan, people typically use a box of miso soup and take out the right amount for each meal. However, I'm unfamiliar with the different types of miso paste available because of its wide variety. Thank you!!
@@yutakawithschizophrenia And there I was thinking that every Japanese person was making the broth from scratch (kombu, bonito flakes) and then additing the miso paste right at the end. Which could be laborious. May be twenty plus years ago people made it from scratch? We can buy kombu, wakame etc and various types of miso paste from the health food shops. We can buy a lot of foreign food because British traditional food is really boring.
@@Gilbertineable@Gilbertineable After World War 2, Japan developed a highly commercial society in which commodities grew. So, people forgot the traditional Japanese ways of life. Only a few people maintained their ways of fitting into Japanese food culture. I imagine British people also experienced this commercialism and absorbed convenient things.
@@yutakawithschizophrenia We never really had a food culture because of the wide gap between rich and poor. The rich ate some strange vegetables like salsify which they eat in Europe today. They ate a lot of game and breakfasts were like a huge buffet consisting of many dishes and vast amounts of alcohol were drunk at each meal (by the men). The poor, however ate a monotonous diet (depending on which part of the British Isles they lived and if they were rural or town dwellers). Most poor people in London for instance did not have a fire place or stove to cook food so they had to buy from shops or street vendors - they ate meat pies and oysters (considered poor man's food once!), a hot baked potato. Some people could not afford the above so mainly stole food from the end of market day, like a cabbage. Their diet mainly consisted of a type of porridge made from grains and scraps of vegetables, hardly any meat. People did better if they could keep a pig and grow vegetables in their scrap of garden. The bread of the poor was inedible for centuries and they would have to soften it a bit in water. I think things gradually improved (a bit) for the poor in the early 20th century. Food is still a problem for the poor in the UK - especially these days with the 'cost of living crisis' and many people rely on food banks. It's a disgrace. Sorry for the long post.
@@Gilbertineable I heard that Britain has a lot of challenges in its economy from broadcasts, but I assumed those reports were exaggerated because of their commercial strategy. However, from your sharings, I imagine British people’s lives are difficult, especially those with tight budgets. Living in society feels so tough. We, Japanese people, have various problems with financial gaps. Living with mental illness tends to be isolated. But this phenomenon probably happens everywhere in developed countries.
How much money would it cost you to go get your air conditioner fixed?...Would it deplete your savings entirely? Jeeze, I have cooked a hot meal or two inside a hot kitchen. It is doable, though not what I want. Get that air conditioner fixed, man!
@@anonymous12726 My air conditioner still works but takes time until I feel cool. My saving money is enough to fix this machine. Thank you for worring about me!!
I like the way you cut the vegetables, very practical..... If women cut vegetables, they pay attention to the aesthetic aspect. I cut vegetables exactly the same way like you.
@@rothschildianum I learned how to cut vegetables by myself. I am sometimes surprised when watching RU-vid videos where Americans cut ingredients differently from Japanese ones. Cooking is so diverse. Thank you for watching!
