Thank you! I was going through my subscriptions and realized you were my first, 14 years ago. I'm so glad you are still producing your wonderful and inspiring videos (and I love your visit videos, too).

I nearly cried when I saw this video! I'm so happy to see that you are still sharing new cooking videos. I'm 30 now, but I remember trying out many of your recipes when I was 18 and beginning university. Thank you for for all that you've created thus far and inspiring many beginner cooks!

I'm so happy to see that you're looking healthy and still making videos! That strawberry parfait looked so delicious!! Francis will always be remembered

I just want to say that as a now 25-year-old, your videos helped me go through my rough teenage years. Watching your videos along with other Japanese cooking channels was like therapy to me, and I just want to say thank you so much for being an integral part of my young adult experience. Coming back to this channel after years gave me a surge of nostalgia and I found myself grinning from ear to ear 💕

I LOVE jajamen! My parents often call me over to their house for my help with lifting up heavy items or other hard work tasks they can't handle any longer. As thanks, they often give me a bag of vegetables they've grown in their garden - cucumbers among them, which I always use to make jajamen. I'm always happy to try a new recipe and can't wait to try!

Thank you for you’re hard work, we all appreciate it. You’re an incredible, wonderful, amazing, fantastic, and awesome person. ☺️😊😄😃🤩😍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chef is still beautiful as ever! And I hope Francis is doing well in doggy heaven ❤️

As a foreigner living in Japan (FOR A VERY LONG TIME!), I am VERY happy to see you continue making your traditional/basic (real) Japanese dishes. ~~~~~~~ I grew up in my own country, and had NO (zero) training on how to ACTUALLY make Japanese dishes (Just foreign KZfaqrs only teaching their versions, often with many changes - to make their versions "stand out" from the "normal" recipe.) ~~~~~~~ I now have lived in Japan, and have been married for MANY years. I WANT my food to impress my spouse ("Wow! this is even better than my mother makes!") (This is the GREATEST compliment I hope to receive from time to time!) But I don't have anyone I trust to teach me the "proper way" (that is not a relative, someone with very strong personal opinions "their version is the 'best/right' way!") ((AND I do NOT want to ask my mother-in-low -- [she is not actually a very good cook, she was a working mother who just made things "quickly/easily" -- not with any tradition of "good recipes passed down to her from her mother...' ..... [despite "hiru-dramas", NOT every mother stayed at home, while the husband was the "salaryman" and the wife was a "senmon-shufu". Many women/mothers were out there working hard for their money and did not have the time or energy that ideal "dramas" portray -- life is harder than TV shows pretend to be.] ☆[and honestly, many wives did NOT get along with their mothers/mother-in-laws to patiently teach the "right" way to cook things!!! - It is a GREAT image, but it is not the reality o life!] So, I am Soooo HAPPY to find your channel - You carefully explain EACH step very carefully and clearly!!! I feel like you are the 'mother I WISH I had growing up to teach me these things! I was VERY SAD when FRANCIS passed away (I am sure you were very sad too). I was sad for Francis -- (and I was VERY sad for you too) -- I was worried that you would not continue to make these videos... But I HOPE YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH THESE VIDEOS HELP SOOOO MANY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THAT ONLY HAVE YOU EXPLAINING THE "Right Way" to do things (with English subtitles). There are THOUSANDS of US who REALLY appreciate YOUR HELP!!! You are the (step-mother / mother-in- law / actual MOTHER) that we wanted/ needed growing up!!! PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!! It helps more people than I think you realize. You are just the RIGHT amount of ①authentic, ②patient, ③clear/easy to understand ④REAL (not afraid to show a few mistakes (so we know we are not crazy when we make some kind of error)... JUST THE RIGHT KIND OF TEACHER SO MANY PEOPLE WANT to learn from. Thank you for ALL you do!!! ありがとうございます。いつもお世話になっております。m(~ _ ~)m~♪♪ これからも宜しくお願い致します!!! ♡♡ ~~~~~~~~~~~ _I_ love your recipes!! AND my SPOUSE "OFTEN!" compliments my food!!! Spouse: "Wow! This is SO GOOD!! - How did you learn how to make this?!? Even I don't know how to make this the right way! Mmmm, this is SO good!" == (My FAVORITE compliment!) ****************************************** (Hopefully the Narrator/Producer will be able to translate ALL of this comment for you to fully understand how much you are appreciated by your loyal fans.) Thank you Narrator様 for ALL you do to make this possible for the rest of us!!!!

Good to see Chef again and hear the narrator. I do miss Francis, he was such a good boy. Love your channel.

I'm so happy that you're still healthy. I have watched you when I was still a child and I remember looking at your recipes and thinking how they look so great. I'm in my 20s now and i'm feeling nostalgic watching you again.

What a joy and pleasure to see that you are looking well and still making videos for us. Franci’s voice is so beautiful and wonderful to hear. And your voice is so soothing and lovely. I really enjoyed your trip to the strawberry paradise!! It looked so delicious!! Sometimes I watch your videos just to see your beautiful face, hear Francis’ voice and in the end the treat of listening to your sweet melody of a voice!!

Truly thank you for keeping upload the cooking tutorial videos, I follow your channel since mor than 10 years ago when I was a young lady, now I already have a 7-year-old son.

I love Chef‘s happy smile every time she finishes cooking and serving a meal. 🥰 Your videos are always so inspiring!

Glad to see another recipe video chef! I have been following and learned a lot about Japanese cuisine and cooking style because of these videos! Thank you for your hard work!

It was delightful seeing the old footage in the start and comparing it to how we see Chef's kitchen now.

Dear Chef you're back! I grew up cooking with you and have missed you, great to see you back.

I love jajamen! Now I can have it whenever I want. I used to go to Hot Jaja, by the train station, all the time when I lived in Morioka.

Always glad to see your videos and very glad to see our dearly missed Francis looking on too!

Chef’s narration voice is so soothing, I’m glad she’s comfortable sharing her wonderful vlogs with us ☺️

I studied abroad in Morioka- jajamen is soooo delicious!

I grew old with this channel. I started following during my teenage years and now I'm 25 and have only started to try cooking despite being subscribed many years ago. This channel always feels like family and like home. Francis guide my cooking おねがい！❤

Morioka Jajamen is one of my favorite foods in Japan! ありがとう!

I love this Japanese take on a meat sauce or ragu type sauce. I intend to try making it at home here in Canada. Thank you for showing us thee recipes that we can make ourselves, chef!

It's always wonderful to see my favorite chef making incredible meals. Hope you are all doing well. Your videos always bring me so much joy, I hope we can all express it back to you how thankful and appreciative we are. Take care ❤

Francis está en la memoria y en el recuerdo de todos. Pero querida chef... usted tiene tanto amor para dar y hay tantos perritos que necesitan amor. Considere por favor adoptar a otro perrito, uno sin hogar. Usted será más feliz y nos hará felices a quienes la seguimos. Saludos.

love this . francis is always remembered

I'm very glad youre still making videos. Greetings from Germany :)

最近、盛岡でじゃじゃ麺を食べ、途中で卵を入れました、という動画を見たばかりだったので大変興味深く見ました。作ってみたいと思います。 私ごとですが、最近ピーマン入りの肉味噌を夫が練習して習得しました。わが家の味を一緒に築いております。この肉味噌も美味しそうですね。シェフにいつも美味しそうなもの教えていただいて感謝です。

I almost cried when i heard your voices again... I watch your videos since Francis was with you...

Everything looks delicious! I'm gonna buy udon noodles and try this asap! That parfait was dream-like! Thank you for your videos, I love them

Love the video of the Great Supervisor Dog! Miss this sweetheart! And the recipe sounds wonderful!

i swear i searched up this dish a few times last week cuz it looked interesting and delicious

It's been so many years and I am still watching your videos and still love every recipe of yours! To be honest, this channel is one of which inspired me starting cooking when I was 15. I used to watch the videos over and over again back then. Really, thank you so much.

Another delicious looking recipe! Ill be making it tonight. Hope you're well 💕

Thanks!

It feels so nostalgic to watch your videos again. Thank you for always providing simple, easy to follow and delicious recipes for your viewers all these years. My little brother loves my cooking because of all the recipes you've shared...! I still remember making coffee jelly and mochi ice cream during late night sleepovers with my best friend during my college years. Always wishing you great health and happiness!

Sakata Gintoki would definitely approve of a strawberry parfait with the correct ratio of cereal to other ingredients! 🍓🍓🍓

We miss you all! Thank you for making videos

Love that udon meal! I hope my asian market now has udon last time they couldn't get it from Japan. Strawberry parfait looked so pretty n delicious. Miss those desserts in Japan. Thanks for the video!

That miso pork looks delicious!

Thank you for another wonderful video. Love watching you guys and learning new cooking techniques/things about Japan.

I cooked this for dinner the first time after seeing this video, except a vegetarian version. The shiitake, miso and black sesame seeds indeed made a special combination of flavours

So happy to see new upload video.

Hello Chef! So nice to see you in a new video! This looks very delicious. I will try to find this higher salt miso so I can make your recipe properly. Thank you for sharing!

Never heard of meat miso before, will have to try this recipe, thank you! That parfait looked delicious, glad you enjoyed it 😀

YUMMY!!

Ooh, I've never had jajamen! I'm totally gonna make it one of these days! Thank you! And good to know that i can freeze the meat miso 😮

Bravo

antoher amazing video

I am definitively using the meat preparation and adapt it to french cooking :) This would be wonderful with a leaf of Chicory for example served as a one bite dish :) And still happy to see the vlogs at the end, it gives me idea to where to go on my next trip to Japan :)

美味しそう！

I ate Amaou strawberries at Sweets Paradise here in Osaka a few weeks back. Such delicious and sweet strawberries. That parfait looks delicious as well so I might have to go try it myself.

冷麺もですがじゃじゃ麵も良いですねー😊 Ducky Duckは学生の頃全盛でした｡活動圏の池袋では旧東武プラザ館(現ルミネ)にも店があり利用していたので､懐かしい感じです。 今はあまおうのこんな立派なパフェがあるんですね‼今でもサンシャインには店舗があるので、また行ってみたくなりました｡

Amazing! So this dish is basically the Japanese version of Dan Dan Mien. Looking forward to trying this 😊

❤❤❤

🤤🤤🏆👏

May I know where in Japan is this Ducky Duck? I wanna try that parfait. Also that jajamen looks easy.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Merci

chef, what is the meaning of jajamen?

great menu to try.... thanks for the recipe.... How is Dog? seems physically absent??

i would love to see you make some vegan dishes, as they are becoming more popular in Japan!😊

🐩💕

❤🧑‍🍳❤🐩❤

The chilled udon do have a superior texture, but I can't stand cold noodles. Just sayin'. Good luck in the kitchen.

It is OK to cook without Dog! The🤭 stuffed animal of Francis is enough! TV monitor image brought not good feeling! ???😏Care about the cooking itself!
