I find this so fascinating! Here in Nigeria in the street markets many struggle to keep meat from rotting due to the heat from the sun, but in Yakutia it seems keeping meat fresh is not a problem since the atmosphere is one big freezer❄

Why so many stupid comments? It's traditional food. I'm Yakut and I haven't had raw meat in years. Do you all think that French eat frogs and snails every day???

as a person from hot and toasty Sudan, I am so mesmerized by this country, its weather and tradition 🫰🏽😲I love it!

That frozen thin sliced fish looked so delish

Humans are so adaptable it is amazing how many climates we can live and thrive in. I think that cold would probably be too much for me but I enjoy experiencing it through your videos. Thank you!

I think it's so crazy how people have managed to learn to survive in such extreme environments. You have to admire their tenacity.

Not sure I can easily start eat raw food but, I truly respect these folks traditions. These videos are amazing. I enjoy learning more and more about these wonderful people.

I eat beef tartare & sashimi & raw kibbeh so this cuisine sounds amazing. Utterly fascinating!

I am from the Republic of Congo in Central Africa I have never heard about Yakutia until I came across your videos. It is really interesting and beautiful the extremely cold weather conditions are just so fascinating love it!

Mongolian here. That fermented milk is making my mouth watery. Too delicious.

It is good to see that salamat is also eaten in Yakutia. I am from Udmurtia, and we also eat a dish with a similar name. True, the recipe for our salamata is very different from the Yakut one. I recently wrote a short essay on Medium "Salamata - The Survival Udmurt Dish of the War" about how that dish helped my grandmother survive during the Second World War.

I have such respect for the people of this region of the world. They not only live, they thrive.

Thank you for sharing all these videos! I'm Yup'ik from Alaska (USA), and our peoples come from similar climates! It's fascinating seeing what Yakutian people (is that the right term?) eat and how it compares to Yup'ik traditional foods!

i’m from tropical country, Indonesia. so for me, watching your videos is so fascinating 😍 Hello from Jakarta, Indonesia☺️🇮🇩

Hello from Singapore, a tiny island in Asia with no winter nor snow! We are usually around 26-36 deg. We have a few cold days sometimes in a year. 22 deg (if I remember correctly) was the record lowest temperature. It's so fascinating to learn about Yakutian culture, so different!

Yakutia seems like an interesting place, it's great to see you keep your traditions alive!

Wow! The lack of fruit and veggies due to the temperature didn’t even cross my mind but that makes sense. I wonder where they get fiber from in their diets. My stomach would be killing me if I lived primarily on dairy and meat 😅 so amazing how we adapt to different diets around the world.

That slightly frozen fish looks delicious. It's interesting to me that a lot of traditional foods in Ainu culture are similar, but I guess it makes sense because how close they are geographically. Thanks for another cool video!

I'm really fascinated by the Yakutian food! Could you do another episode on what you eat during the summer, special occasions, etc?

I just discovered your channel tonight. I found another similar one I liked so KZfaq suggested this. Loving it! I want to travel there just to try the delicacy food and pet those beautiful horses. I’m the US so this is like nothing I’ve ever seen in person. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with the world to see ❤

Hi Kiun! Can you make a video on how wedding in Yakutia looks like? Your videos are fantastic and I love knowing more and more of your culture!! ❤️

I love Yakutia people, they're incredibly tough and resilient.

The frozen fish looks amazing. I feel like I would love all of this food!❤️

I'm literally binge watching your videos, it's fascinating, informative and fun. Keep warm Yakutian people

I love it when people use social media to educate. Great work, I’m learning new things from you!

I like how strikingly similar their food culture is similar to that of the inuits in Canada and Greenland, such an amazing diet and lifestyle it's wonderful

This looks so delicious. I’m particularly excited over the frozen fish slices. I’ve loved raw fish since I started eating sushi at around 18 or so and now I’ve fallen in love with poké. I looove raw tuna and salmon the most and I would to try this frozen raw fish dish.

Wow - I can't believe youtube knows me so well that it led me to this video. I learned a lot (I didn't even know there was a Yakutian people. I loved the cultural aspects of these wonderful people. Peace and love from Texas, USA !

I'm from Tanzania East Africa, I never heard of Yakutia until I came across your videos. Would like to visit it someday; thank you for sharing ur culture to us:

Thank you for sharing, this was very informative and enlightening. I always wondered what kind of dishes were eaten and how they were prepared. Wonderful episode. ♥️

I love your videos. I used to live in Hokkaido which was cold in winter, and often visited Mongolia which was very cold...but your beautiful city is on another level. I'd love to visit one day!

Так все вкусно выглядит, аж захотелось сейчас в Якутию поехать

LOVE your channel! It popped in to my "suggested" videos, probably because I view and study cultures all over the world and have traveled abroad several times. I'm originally from central Alaska, now in far West Texas. A few years ago a former colleague of mine (he being from Romania) somehow got on the topic of the coldest cities / towns in the world. Of course Yakutia became the center of our discussion and of course comparing the Yakutian winter with that of central Alaska. I must have spent several days studying a little bit about Yakutia and marveling at how the people have adapted to the environment. Fast forward to today, it's SO COOL 👍 to stumble upon your channel! Needless to say winter here in far West Texas is, well, can I even call it winter? I miss the cold and am hoping for a good snow so I can go backpacking in to the local mountains for two or three days. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and learning more about Yakutia! By the way, I can only imagine the flavors of the frozen raw fish and other meats. FANTASTIC for sure. CHEERS! PEACE and be well! And may you and ALL your loved ones have a blessed Christmas! 🙏🙏🙏

I'm living in tropical Indonesia 🇮🇩 where the sun always shine and there's only two seasons and yet YT recommended this video of frozen Siberia 🇷🇺 😁. So glad i clicked it ❤❤❤

I can’t believe I always stumble randomly on your vlogs and I enjoy watching it.

I love seeing how much joy you take in your traditional foods! I subscribed after this video, looking forward to watching more

This is so pure and authentic thank you, thank you for, thank you for sharing!!!!

Very interesting how we all adapted to our environment- even the harshest ones! Beautiful culture!

Thank you for sharing your world with us. I'm always happy to learn about the world from the people, and not a textbook. Makes it so much more meaningful.

People living in this kind of climate are so amazing...i live in a tropical place so I wondered how people survive this cold place.thanks for this vlogs ..

Дуже круто! Особливо тішить що в Якутію дотримуються традицій, типу підношення для духів❤️

I love Dayanna's reaction after she takes a bite of her food. She is very expressive with her facial expressions.

Wow! It's amazing to learn about different cultures and traditions. Yakutian culture specifically is one of the most interesting for me because I live in a tropical country. It was such an interesting video. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷💖

This was actually really helpful. I’m playing in a dnd game and I wanted to include food ideas from regions that deal with extreme cold as the setting of the campaign takes place in one. As the general culture is fantasy and open for interpretation, I decided to fill in that with research of my own. Adding ideas like this should go over well with the other players I think. I like to drop a few ideas like this in occasionally with my character and it’s been well received so far. Also I just enjoy the research. Thanks for sharing! It’s definitely going to prompt me into further research for sure.

There are soooo much to learn from this video! Thank you for making this video and show your beautiful culture to the world 💛

Stroganina is a Russian word for any sliced food, in Sakha language we say “tong balyk” - for sliced frozen fish, “tong byar”- for sliced frozen liver, and “tong et” - for sliced frozen meat.

I would love to try all of the dishes Kiun showed us in the video! Top notch! 💯💯💯💯

Y’all are calling it disgusting in the comments yet I bet no one’s overweight in this place. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Привет из Турции жителям Якутии🇹🇷🇷🇺🙋‍♂️🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

Fascinating! I grew up in Siberia, but learning so much new from your videos 💚💖

Wow! Such a wonderful culture. I've never seen this before! Thank you for sharing this 😀

Ooh, how intriguing! I would love to try some traditional Yakutian food one day; I'm especially interested in the frozen fish.

Thank you for your sincere and enthusiastic report. Really, we Brazilians are very curious to know about Russian culture, especially life in Yakutsk. We cannot imagine a cold of -50 degrees. I live in the State of Paraná, which is home to the largest colony of Russians. Very successful on your channel. Congratulations.

Hello Kiun, Thank you for sharing your home and culture with us. It's also so lovely to see people from so many countries in comments - HI EVERYONE!! 👋 It would be helpful if when you're speaking In Sakha if you typed the translation on the screen in English, as we're missing some of your most important comments, and feedback, that would awesome hear. (The Google translate only shows English subtitles when you're speaking English - and then stops when you switch languages.) Just a thought, as I'm sure it will also bring you more subscribers. With love from the USA

So nice to learn about different cultures. Its beautiful

I saw several that had my mouth watering. The main ones were Stroganina and Kyercheh. That thinly sliced fish had my mouth watering. 😋

I absolutely love learning about your every day life and traditional Yakutia culture. So interesting and beautiful! Very different than my hometown southern Canada.

Люблю строганину, очень вкусное блюдо

We respect you.. Respect from punjab

The Yakutian food looks delicious!

Thanks for giving us this insight into real life there. It looks tough, but I sense a natural happiness and love of nature, which is something we are missing here in western Europe.

Wow Kiun B… Remember when your channel was in its infancy? You’ve worked hard and come far! Thanks for visiting Yakutia during December so I don’t have to! Your videos are great! Hello from Canada！

Amazing people living with awesome traditions. I respect you all.

i want to eat the cream 🤩 seems so delicious!! thanks for sharing your culture with us! it’s so exciting to have access to knowledge and experiences that I normally wouldn’t know anything about!

Здравствуйте!!! 🤝🏻 😉 У вас такие же блюда как у нас нанайцев. Едим тоже самое 😁Пока смотрел слюнями чуть не подавился 🤤 За видео палец вверх подписка!!! 👋

Fascinating to see how people are living in extreme climate. Would be nice to visit and experience myself.

This place is so beautiful , it makes me happy to learn about this wonderful snowy place!

Wow, awesome!! So glad I found your channel!!

I love your appreciation for nature and the fire-feeding custom. Please, never let your wonderful shamanistic traditions die.

Путешествую каждый год в отпуске. Был там в Чочур Муране...классный ресторан. Отличное обслуживание и вкусные блюда. Очень Здорово сделан Интерьер. Нигде в России такого не видел. И..если летом выходить на балкон,то прекрасный вид на гору..в общем Экзотика. А заказал Местный суп,салат из строганины...и ещё какой то коктейль..не помню. В общем в восторге от блюд. Да кстати,недалеко находится Музей с деловыми фигурами внутри горы. И там Шикарно! В общем считаю,что такие Места обязательны для Туризма по России! 👍P.S. в этом ресторане были такие гости как Розенбаум,Чемпион мира Рой Джонс и другие

This was so interesting & well put together. Tysm for sharing. 😊 💜

I eat pretty much this meal everyday in Texas, minus the fermented mare's milk. I would probably only have to try that once. Great video! Lovely coat, and how cool is that hunting lodge?

I love YAKUTIA!!! I want to go there now. Thank you for sharing your culture to us ^_^

The 'deserts' and fermented milk drink look particularly interesting.

What an honor to learn about the Yakut & Sakha ways of life!!

This so amazing!!! Please make more videos about the food!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I’d love to head to Yakutia and try the cuisine.

Привет из Киева! Спасибо большое за этот канал, с детства интересовался жизнью и культурой народов севера. Это настолько обширный и разнообразный пласт, богатый традициями, промыслами, искусством, что диву даешься. Мои наилучшие пожелания) Кстати, нож якутский занимает у меня почетное место, отношусь бережно. Строганину(настоящую) пробовал лет 25 назад - отменное блюдо.

Fantastic video! Thank you for posting this educational content.

such an amazing culture. i dont see much about it so its awesome that yt is reccomending it ! glad i found!

Living in Yakutia seems so nice despite the weather conditions. Would love to visit there some time

I had a window seat 💺 in my jet ✈️ as we flew over Siberia on my way to South Korea and onto Southeast Asia. I have always been fascinated by the cultures that live there in Siberia.

Wow! Would love to try those tasty food! 😍 Also, “Salamat” translates to “Thank you” in Filipino language in the Philippines, a tropical country.

I would love to come there and try all those traditional foods. It is a beautiful place. Amazing.

Я аж поперхнулся когда прозвучала фраза "кумыс это как газировка". Такое самопожертвование среди земляков ради нас, не знающих что есть кумыс - спасибо 😁

I stumbled across this channel yesterday and I'm just hooked. This shit is so cool and interesting to see and it really makes you have a lot of respect for the people who live in these places

Thank you for sharing your life with us. This is so interesting. ❤️

As a new subscriber I am so interested of your culture. So much I can learn as it can only make me a better person. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful lifestyle, beautiful people, I like everything especially sledding 💙🇷🇸🇸🇪

Being a person born in South East Asia where the degree is up to 40 in summer, I can't imagine the cold weather in Yakutia. But I definitely want to come and try your cuisine once in my life!

i want to eat the cream 🤩 seems so delicious!! thanks for sharing your culture with us! it’s so exciting to have access to knowledge and experiences that I normally wouldn’t know anything about! in my culture food is very different but also similar - lots of meat and dairy since it’s rainy and cold. i’ve never had raw meat but it seems rly interesting!

I like the house 🍖 because this food my traditional food , I'm Kazakhstan , я ставлю лайк у меня вообще нет слов и просто одни эмоции ✊

Я вырос в Якутии (Нюрба, Мирный). Помню празднование ысыаха, общее пение на празднике, какой то особый Дух. Конечно, всякое бывало-и драки, и ссоры и "так далее". Но в целом воспоминания о Якутии и якутах очень тёплые. Если кто не читал, советую прочесть прекрасную повесть Н.Лескова "На краю света", где очень ярко писатель показал Дух этих удивительных людей. Смотрел видеозаписи современного празднования асыаха-очень круто, был бы рад побывать на праздновании, но пока не получается. Желаю всем живущим в Якутии здравия. Моё почтение.

Your smile is like an ocean of beauty, joy and pulsating life.

I love this! A lot similar life style and food of Inuit culture ❤️

I find it so fascinating what cultures consider “traditional” food, often tied to survival and what the surrounding land offers. Nowadays the meaning is much broader with our huge variety of foods, and sometimes having no ancestral meaning (like eating turkey). We eat a lot of Korean dishes, and there are many similarities here and with Mongolian dishes. Many ingredients are subsistence dishes, like pickled veggies, fish and meats with few preparations (bbq). The pepper powder often associated with Korean food / soups is actually a modern import and traditionally the food was very basic and tied very much to survival in a land poor in agriculture (roots, root vegetables, greens mostly) and rice was a luxury.

I am so hungry now... It looks soooo good. Now I want to go! Greetings from Mexico

Such a beautiful place with beautiful people! Everyone looks happy it all your videos that I’ve watched. ❤ from Australia✌️

Great video. Keep up the good work
