Sakekasu Mana-chan
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.

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.

Konbanwa! New video coming tomorrow 👀
I recreated my 104 year-old grandpa’s workday lunch from his working days—and honestly, I had to learn it from my grandmother since I’d never made it myself.
It’s a simple meal, but very meaningful to me.
Hope you enjoy it—see you soon from Mana-chan.

Konbanwa!!
I hope you’re having a nice weekend.
I spent some really precious time with my grandparents.
And when it comes to cooking, I realized… there are still so many skills and recipes I can learn from them.
I thought I had learned almost everything—haha, I was wrong.
So now I’m working on a new post inspired by them.
Stay tuned!

Have you ever wondered if natto can be made at home?
I experimented several times, and I was surprised how easy it actually is.
The homemade version turned out ultra sticky, richer in umami, and even cheaper than store-bought natto.
If you're curious, I just shared the full step-by-step tutorial in my latest video:)
