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.

Have you ever heard of Shiokoji? It is a Japanese fermented seasoning that is popular, especially among health-conscious people. My 95-year-old grandma incorporated it into her cooking a few years ago, and since then we both love it because it is so good for your mouth and stomach! (It can also be used as a tenderizer for meat, fish, and tofu.) In my latest video, I show you how I use it in a healthy way! Enjoy!→https://youtu.be/oUQOIeF2r7Y

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.

Konbanwa, my friends!

Ever felt that making Japanese pickles was intimidating? 🥒 In Japanese food culture, pickles are something you simply can’t ignore!

In my next video, I’m showing you how to make Japanese pickles in a simple, healthier way. Since I want to show you the "big picture" of how to make them both satisfying and healthy in a short amount of time, I’ll be sharing the 3 systems I learned from my long-living grandparents (104 & 95 years old!).


These techniques are so versatile that you can apply them not just to pickles, but to your everyday cooking as well! You won't want to miss it. Stay tuned for a taste of longevity wisdom! ✨

The new video will be out tomorrow!
