Mommy!

Right now, my mom is making eggs, and it's called "tamagoyaki"

A little bit

Smash it to make it mushy

I never made one

I didn't know it takes a long time to mix it. Have to mix it a lot of times

That's not a lot of egg

Wait, another tiny egg...

We're doing it softly, mix it in wholly

I think there's a lot of pressure on her to make the best egg. She gets nervous

Then put it again

When you eat it, it goes *makes sounds* in your mouth

I can't wait to eat it

Wow!

Does egg usually have maple syrup in it? As an ingredient?

No, we use sugar, but we don't have it so we used maple syrup

...to make it yummy

So what are you making next, Aiko?

um... we're making miso shiru... like soup

My grandpa grew this spinach

So what's this here?

This is tofu. It's kind of like sponge

Wow, you put it all in

What's this? What's this?

This... wait wait wait...

Woah!

Oh, it makes the soup

Ground up fish. Fish broth called "bonito"

Fish powder

Fish powder

And that's the miso

Mix it

So it makes the soup, the yummy soup

Don't mix it in the pot, you just mix it in the little... spoon

It's done

This is soup. Miso shiru.

Mmm... smells good. The spinach smells good. The spinach. I like it.

So what did you get now?

Trying to eat already?

Okay one more time, one more time

This is "umeboshi." If you eat it, it's spicy. So, *makes sounds*

What is "umeboshi?"

I don't know, it's like red seeds

It's pickled plums

That's what it is, Aiko

Yeah

Hey don't film this. Why do-

Why? Shin's gonna test it

No... Shin's watching

Okay, okay

Next is mini sausages

She's making mini sausage octopus

Yeah, this is kinda different

Octopus. Two octopus that I can eat

You eat real octopus too, right?

Yeah, I do.

I like it

I just eat it *makes sounds*

Smells... good

Octopus, weee!

Does your mommy make this breakfast every morning?

Not every morning, but sometimes she makes sausages

Today is special

So I'm gonna make "natto"

This is soy beans

And take this off

Why is it so sticky?

I don't know

Mix it until it gets white

Like this

I don't know if you like it, but Japanese people like it

What's it smell like?

I don't... know... like soy sauce

Do you always have your breakfast so pretty like this?

I don't know, but Japanese people make it pretty and then eat it

So your miso shiru is here, your rice is here, your tamagoyaki is here, your natto is here, and sausages are here

Itadakimasu

So first, I'm gonna eat the egg

I really like the octopus

Do you ever put your octopus in the miso soup and then make it swim?

No

I eat the tofu first

Then the spinach

Taste good

We have chopsticks, so we use chopsticks for everything

So then how do you drink your soup?

You just drink like this

But, now I eat like this

WIth your leg there?

Yeah

Why not?

You can't eat like that because "shisei ga warui" and then, that's like, we're not allowed to do that

I do that all the time

Yeah, but that's the manners of eating

Next... the natto

I don't know if you like it

Let's do a close up of this

Oh yeah good ol' natto yummy yummy

Next, gonna eat the rice

Spicy!

Do you wanna say "thank you" to the mystery chef?

Okay

Thank you, mommy

You're welcome

Wow, you always eat breakfast by yourself everyday?

No, I don't

I eat with everybody. When I eat with everybody, it's yummier

Why is your house always so clean?

One more thing, you can't do chopsticks and chopsticks

You're not allowed to do it

Wait wait, you can't touch them together? Why not?

You're not allowed

You're not allowed to do it

Why?

I do not know it has like dead people... do it

And you're not even allowed to do this

That's dead people

You did it. Can't believe you did it

I'm just telling you you're not allowed to do that

You could've just showed it though, you didn't have to put it in the rice

I like the soup

Goodbye

Goodbye, everybody
