Sakekasu Mana-chan | Japanese Longevity Kitchen
I share gut friendly Japanese cooking ideas, techniques, and longevity wisdom inspired by my grandparents—104 and 95 years old, still living independently.
As a flexitarian following my grandparents’ traditions, many of the meal ideas on this channel feature fish and plant-forward dishes.
Japanese cuisine is naturally balanced, rich in fermentation, and highly adaptable for both vegan and non-vegan diets. That’s what makes it perfect for creating meals everyone can enjoy together at the same table.
This channel is for people who want to learn a healthier lifestyle the Japanese way—those looking for plant-forward meal ideas, or anyone who enjoys a flexitarian approach to eating like I do.

Did you know there is a fermented Japanese seasoning that makes your meat and tofu tender while adding a gentle umami sweetness and feeding your gut? My 95-year-old grandma introduced me to it a few years ago. Since then, we have been enjoying this powerful seasoning! I’m introducing it in my latest video. Enjoy→https://youtu.be/HrR_eYJE3Ds

I was looking through my 95-year-old grandma's kitchen and realized there are some things she never runs out of. One of them is rice vinegar.
I once asked her why she uses it so much. She told me that back in her 30s, she read an article describing rice vinegar as 'medicine for longevity.' She has followed that advice ever since! While I can’t say it’s the only reason she and her 104-year-old grandparent have stayed so healthy, I truly believe it has contributed to their long lives more or less.
In my latest video, I share more of Grandma’s wisdom and show how rice vinegar can be a game-changer for busy people today who want to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor.

Tofu is amazing, but have you tried the power of the humble soybean?
In my latest video, I explore the potential of whole soybeans instead of tofu. They are a favorite of my 104-year-old Grandpa, and my sister (who is a dietitian!) taught me the best ways to enjoy them for gut health.
Whether you're vegan or not, I hope these bento ideas bring some inspiration to your kitchen! 🌿

Konbanwa everyone! 🌸
Some people might feel a bit nervous to try Sakekasu because of the alcohol left from sake production. I understand. But don't worry—there is a simple way to enjoy it!
By steaming Sakekasu for about 10–20 minutes, the alcohol evaporates.
This makes it much easier to use in your daily meals.
In my latest video, I share a day of homemade cooking—all inspired by my 104 and 95-year-old grandparents!
You can also see how I make a Sakekasu Smoothie there.
If you’ve been interested in Sakekasu but were worried about the alcohol, please try steaming it first! I hope you enjoy the power of fermented food.
