What I Eat in Rural Japan 🇯🇵 Visiting My Hometown & Grocery Haul

This week, I’m taking you with me on a little trip back to my hometown in rural Japan, where I spent a few peaceful days with my family. 🌿 Whenever I go back home, I feel like everything slows down a little. I get to enjoy quiet mornings with my family, visit local markets, spend time surrounded by nature, and simply enjoy being back in a place that has always felt special to me. 🥰 This video is a little different from my usual food videos. I hope you enjoy the peaceful countryside scenery and get a little glimpse of everyday life in Japan outside of Tokyo. 🌿♡ Thank you so much for watching and for always leaving such sweet comments and supporting me. It really means a lot to me. 🥹💗 ⏰ 0:00 Intro 0:47 Japanese breakfast 2:48 Udon lunch 3:33 Countryside scenery 4:06 breakfast 2 5:02 Grocery Haul 7:35 Japanese Scrambled Tofu 9:03 Pumpkin Salad 10:46 Baked Potatoes with Ground Meat 13:40 Creamy Pumpkin & Cauliflower Stew 15:22 Make-Ahead Meals Are Ready! 16:09 Cabbage & Ground Meat Rice Bowl 16:55 Oden night 18:01 Last dinner ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Japanese Scrambled Tofu 2 servings Firm tofu 300 g / 10.6 oz Eggs 2 Carrot 50 g / 1.8 oz Shiitake mushrooms 50 g / 1.8 oz Oil, as needed Soy sauce 1 tbsp Sugar 1/2 tsp Salt, to taste Black pepper, to taste ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Pumpkin Salad 2 servings Pumpkin 300 g / 10.6 oz Onion 50 g / 1.8 oz Cucumber 30 g / 1.1 oz Plain yogurt 2 tbsp Mayonnaise 1 tbsp Salt 1/4 tsp Black pepper, to taste Honey 1/2 tsp ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Baked Potatoes with Ground Meat 2 servings Potatoes 300 g / 10.6 oz Ground meat 200 g / 7.1 oz Tomato 200 g / 7.1 oz Eggplant 100 g / 3.5 oz Onion 50 g / 1.8 oz Garlic 1 clove Olive oil, as needed Soy sauce 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1/2 tbsp Sugar 1/2 tbsp Cheese, as needed ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Creamy Pumpkin & Cauliflower Stew 2 servings Pumpkin 200 g / 7.1 oz Cauliflower 150 g / 5.3 oz chicken thigh 150 g / 5.3 oz Onion 60 g / 2.1 oz Olive oil 1 tsp All-purpose flour 3 tbsp Milk 300 ml / 10.1 fl oz Water 250 ml / 8.5 fl oz Salt 2/3–1 tsp Black pepper, to taste ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Cabbage & Ground Meat Rice Bowl — 1 serving Cabbage 50 g / 1.8 oz Shiitake mushrooms 20 g / 0.7 oz Ground meat 80 g / 2.8 oz Cooked rice 120 g / 4.2 oz White wine 1 tsp Miso 1 tsp Honey 1 tsp Soy sauce 1 tsp ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー https://amzn.to/440ZcBv The frying pan I always use https://amzn.to/4uWVUtW Food Storage Containers https://amzn.to/4v3vHtM Steamer Basket https://amzn.to/4vuSu2D Air Fryer https://amzn.to/4oM61QM 📷 Sony Alpha 7C 🌿 I’m an Amazon Associate and earn from qualifying purchases.
