Japan's Edo Era Noodles (1643)

Music was great! I felt like I was in Japan

My favorite noodle dish is Mikawa-style miso nikomi udon. Made with the red miso of Mikawa, it has a very rich flavor, but it’s perfect for a cold winter’s day

My my, wat a short noodle. Time to stretch it longer 😊.

Imagine inviting someone over just to have them pour your rice alcohol

柚子の皮をちょっと入れると美味しいですよ

...Sent a messenger to see if she was ok, which she was not 😅 Best story telling

保食神を殺したのは月読じゃなくて須佐男でしょ？月読は物語に出てこないことで有名な神様だよ

A great video holding out hope Max dose a video about the origins of the japanese green tea ceramony some day. I ever visit that country it's on my to do list. :D

The art of preparing wheat flour may have come to China via the Silk Road. At any rate, the preparation of wheat dough in a soup was referred to as a 湯餅, and indeed it was not always shaped like a string and could look like ravioli shells at times. 😅

I would take noodles over ice cream...chocolate....cake....anything. when I lived in Asia, there was a small cafe where they made handmade noodles. ❤❤❤

I just watched that whole episode and got nothing from it.. not because it wasn’t epic as always ….. but because your hair was so damn fresh!!! Bruh mesmerizing

Bruh have Japanese people always been Pervy? Wheat and beans come from a women’s groin? Hilarious 😂

Its crazy how so much oriental history starts in China if you go back far enough

Did nobody notice the Pikachu in a kimono and what I think is a flower crown.

73g of carbs per serving!!!! Jizzz...

The real story here is how impeccable Max's haircut is. It's sculptural and I am jealous.

Max. Are you sure you don't want to host a linguistic show? )

👍👌👌👍😁

My least favorite is the udon for sure 😅

I hate this channel since most of the times it is watching him talking. I dont his look. I dont like watching him talking

Don’t worry Japanese love slurping cold noodles too

My favourite noodle dish - aside from stir fry with ginger, garlic, chili and NOT soy sauce - is Italian pasta bianca. It really is the simplest dish, but you need good quality pasta to make it work. Cook lasagne, cut into squares, or papardelle until al dente. (Salt optional.) Dress with olive oil and freshly grated parmesan. That's it. I like to add a little black pepper and garlic, which is not traditional, but then; this is usually a dish served to the sick.

Max: "like eating pasta before running a marathon!"
Me: is that a good idea??
Max: shows a clip of Michael Scott doing it
Me: oh. So definitely not.

The delivery is so entertaining! I laugh and laugh.

fugu

Blowfish, known in Japan as fugu, is a highly prized delicacy both as sashimi or as an ingredient in soup, but the fish's liver, ovaries and skin contain the poison tetrodotoxin and the parts must be removed by specially trained and licensed preparers.

Again, Chinese ethnic music as background music in a video introducing Japanese cuisine😂

To slurp, the first thing to do is take a bit of a noodle and pull them to your mouth without biting (to cut) the noodles.

Your videos are my absolute favorite.

i've seen enough hentai to know where this is going

you can put the bonito flakes/katsuobushi into a reuseable or cotton tea bag so you don't have to strain them out after, and make a mess of your strainer. I do it all the time, works well!

The ratio of kombu to bonito seems a bit weird. I feel like he heard the ratio is 1:1 and decided to go by volume instead of weight.

What about ancient egypt beer reciept.?

Bukake udon noodles are awesome.😂

if you’re in the u.s., no slurping. it’s rude.

A fun episode Max! Much Japanese homecooking uses dashi as a base. Often the instant stuff though! Using katabushi is nicer and a bit luxurious. Simmer chunks of peeled daikon radish in a dashi broth for a warm flavorful cool weather dish.

Uhhhhhh yes katsuobushi DOES smell great, Max

I recently started to follow your channel. I was born and grew up in Japan. This episode made me smile. 😊

Kentucky ballistics "no one likes egg plant"

Fun fact about fugu (puffer fish), they are only toxic if they are wild caught as the toxins they produce comes from specific bacteria in their organs. If kept in a bacteria free tank, the puffer fish will not be toxic at all which is where most fugu served today comes from.

Max: my favorite japanese myth

Also max: I don't know about eating the rice and beans after repeating that...

Bonito smells amazing to me

I often wonder how hungry humans were to come up with some of the stuff we eat
Noodles themselves are a case of someone starving and figuring something out

Gawd you are good. Much love to you and your husband.

Talk to Ilya Alekseyev of That Works. He's a bladesmith specializing in Japanese-style weapons. He also works with various other materials, like silver and gold. I bet if anyone knows, he probably would.

who doesn't love a nice bowl of groin noodles honestly hahaha

You should ferment some miso for a video :)

MAX - I once tried FRESH made Somen in an Expensive Japanese restaurant, they made the noodles in the back of the Restaurant , the Flavor , Texture and taste is way different from the store bought Dried variety, even Gourmet Somen.
also the Restaurant made homemade fresh Dashi & soup stock.
it was Expensive like $40, compare to the Bamboo flue Somen ($20) all you can grab.

MAX the Chinese monk brought back Shirataki - tofu noodles and Broad Flat RICE noodles.

MAX - actually since Antiquity JAPAN has had all kinds of RICE noodles , in Varying thickness from Dragon mein, Vermicelli thin, to Medium noodles like RAMEN , to thick Broad noodles - chow fun.
also, Japan had various Starch noodles, like Bean thread, Cellophane noodles , and YAM noodles.
the oldest noodles in Japan came from CHINESE monks , and made Shirataki noodles , made from TOFU.
all these NON Wheat noodles were used Interchangeably in Soups , Nabe, Sukiyaki, Mein dishes , as well as Pan fried noodles.
it wasn't until the MEIJI era did Japan really began to replace all kinds of Wheat based noodles & Western pasta.
where the Japanese began to copy Foreign pasta , creating Yoshoku food.
