Akko is a real star! I hope you will continue to collaborate with her as she adds a great deal of depth to videos like this, Greg! In our household (2), I do almost all of the cooking and food shopping whilst my wife does the other chores. We walk with our dog together for about an hour a day, which gives us a chance to converse and plan our trip to Japan, whenever it opens up again. I hope it doesn't take 3 more black ships to make that happen :-)

My Mom grew up in an era where it was abnormal for a woman to have a job, instead they were the homemaker. She ended up cooking for 4 brothers and her Dad, that led to her paying her way through college with jobs in restaurants and cooking for a fraternity which is how she met my Dad. She continues to cook every meal except for a few dishes my Dad likes to make. We eat out 1 or 2 days a week.

The cute little girl got gregs eyes, she is definitely from gregs side of the family. She has a lot to learn about asian food specially rice and it always goes with another dish be it meat fish or vegetables. Im sure she will grow to love asian cuisines as they are delicious. Pointers > chopsticks are not required but are fun to use if you know how. You can drink the soup from the bowl after eating the solid parts. Also i heart japanese grilled fishes and sushi. oh and as okasan said supermarket sushi is very different from sushi from the fish market, much much fresher ^_^ thats why it always sold out

Another wonderful video. One of our early favourites was where you visited Obachan and Ojichan’s home and made Nabe (the little clip of Ojichan roasting the mackerel was from that I think). That had such a lovely warmth and happy atmosphere. We ordered a Nabe pot from Japan and now Nabe is one of our winter favourites here in Scotland. Your family have invited us into their homes and it’s a very personal look at Japanese culture that we wouldn’t otherwise get. Please pass on our appreciation. And that was Shin….good heavens….I mean I know that kids grow up….but suddenly so manly!

It's very interesting to see what other people in different countries have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Where I live people usually only have bread with different toppings for dinner, could be leftover meat, cheese, sausage (big ones you cut in to slices like salami), fresh or pickled vegetables and sometimes egg. And if you eat with family they're placed on a cutting board with some forks so everyone can take some on their plate.

I'm the one who cooks in my family. My wife can't cook without burning something or herself, plus my entire family on my father's side have been in the food industry their entire lives. I don't try to cater to everyone's specific likes, as I view being able to eat is in itself a blessing, so my kids are taught to finish whatever they are served and learn to like it. They still don't enjoy some types of food/ingredients, of course, but they know better than to waste it or kick up a fuss about it.
