what I eat in a day- Japanese food 🇯🇵

Hi guys, it's me, Dodie. Today, I'm back with another video. A lot of you guys wanted a clear explanation about what I eat in a day in Japan since I don't really explain the food. Even though people are in Japan not religious anymore, a lot of people do religious practices as a part of a culture. I also do them as a part of the culture in Japan.

When we stay in our grandparents' house, my grandpa and my mother prepare the breakfast, and during our meals, we always have green tea during our breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is a very traditional Japanese breakfast, but most Japanese people don't have this traditional breakfast anymore because it takes ages to prepare. However, my grandpa is a very traditional Japanese man, so we always have a traditional Japanese breakfast, which consists of grilled salmon, rice, miso soup with different ingredients. It actually depends on the day and on my grandpa's mood, but my personal favorite is tofu and some mushroom miso soup.

Then we also have a huge salad. One of my brother's favorite dishes is the breakfast that my grandpa prepares. We are obsessed with the breakfast that our grandpa prepares. It's amari! Thank you, Grandpa, for preparing breakfast for us; we love you!

When it comes to food, because of my brother's pickiness, we can't really enjoy the same food. However, ramen is one of the few foods that we get along and enjoy together. Ramen actually originated from China, but the Japanese made a version of it which is known all around the world. Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup. It consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a meat or fish-based broth, often flavored with soy sauce or miso, and uses toppings such as eggs or menma or seaweeds, etc.

Our favorite is shio ramen, which basically means salt. Shio ramen has a thin, simple taste compared to other ramen types, and this is the best part of it. I crave ramen so much while doing this voiceover. I really love, love, love ramen! You will taste the flavor of chicken, clams, or different types of seafood in the broth. Unlike miso ramen or shoyu ramen, you can feel the umami of the soup directly. It's perfect for lunch, a late-night snack, or finishing off a drinking party with the shio ramen, which most Japanese people do after nomikai, which is kind of like a party where you get along and drink together with your co-workers or with your friends. After this drinking party nomikai, you go to a ramen shop and order ramen; it's pretty popular in Japan.

Now it's time for dinner, and for dinner, we had sukiyaki, which is one of my absolute favorite foods in Japanese cuisine. I love it so much; it tastes so freaking good! Let me explain what it is. Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish that is prepared and served in nabemono, which is a Japanese hot pot style. I personally really love hot pot-style foods; I don't know if you guys love it. Let me know in the comments down below!

It consists of meat, usually thin-sliced beef, and for our beef, we choose Kuroge Wagyu, which is a type of Wagyu. It consists of meat usually cut thin, sliced beef. It will be slowly cooked or simmered at the table alongside vegetables or other ingredients in a shallow iron pot in a mixture of soy sauce and sugar. The ingredients are usually dipped in a small bowl of raw beaten eggs after being cooked in the pot and then eaten. Generally, sukiyaki is a winter dish and is commonly found at bonenkai, which are Japanese year-end parties. But since I really love sukiyaki and I'm just like so obsessed with it, we had it even though it's not winter, and you can eat it whether it's winter or not.

A lot of people say it's weird to eat raw beaten eggs, but when you eat this sukiyaki meat with raw beaten egg, it tastes so good! Some people prefer it without raw beaten egg, but I personally love eating my sukiyaki with beaten egg, as you can see.

Then I got myself some rice because, you know, rice is a staple when it comes to Japanese cuisine. A lot of people ask me when we cooked rice in Turkey, but it doesn't taste good. Of course not, because the rice type in Japan and Turkey is very different. Japanese rice and Turkish rice are very different. Not only Japanese and Turkish rices, but there are so many rice varieties all around the world, like the Thai rice and the Japanese rice, Indian rice, Turkish rice... there are so many varieties of them. They have different tastes, so if you would cook Turkish rice in a Japanese method, it wouldn't taste good because it's not the way you're supposed to cook it.

I was also having some enoki, which is a type of mushroom, which plays a pretty big role in Japanese cuisine. I guess what makes it stand out is its crunchy texture, and I really love it. My brother doesn't love it because he basically doesn't love any sort of vegetable. He's 26, and my mom still gets angry about the fact that he doesn't love vegetables, and they always fight! My mom tries to make him eat more vegetables, and my brother refuses it. I really don't understand it; vegetables are delicious, especially mushrooms, though! I really love mushrooms.

And also, I was having tofu and enoki alongside the meat. Tofu is Japanese dried baked wheat gluten. According to the website that I found, I'm not really sure, but it's made out of gluten, and it tastes so yum!
