  1. There's just something about him I cannot stand…. sorry mate, or should I say… bruv

  4. As a Japanese person, I really appreciate how respectful he is toward our culture❤ I've moved to Canada and enjoy living here, but I truly miss this kind of fresh, healthy food.

  5. Hätte ich jetzt gerne angesehen, die KI Stimme ist allerdings kaum auszuhalten.

  6. dont forget to say itadakimasu next time or you will come off as rude not saying it! also your translator is not as fluent in japanese as you might have expected

    200 grams a week

    not a day

    🙂

  9. Less, meat, more vegetables, tofu, healthy carbs such as sweet potatoes and rice, daily movements, stretching is what keeps Japanese people healthy.

  10. amazing documentary Jamie..you are so calm and compozed…really i was enjoying it..

  11. OMG welcome to Okinawa my home island!! I was watching and rooting your programme "Jamie's School Dinners" ! Hope you have a great time there!!

  12. They live with nature, they eat natural foods, they stay active, they get sunlight, they have community… they live a completely different lifestyle than most.

  14. At least learn how to properly pronounce the Okinawan words. KaraTE, CHAMpuru, OhKEEnawa

  15. The Okinawans are so happy and warm! And their food has me questioning my diet! Thank you for this video Jaime 😃

  16. The reason why this is a blue zone is because they don’t declare when an individual passes so the family can still claim benefits. It’s a big problem in Japan.

  18. I just hope that Jamie respects the Japanese masters in Japanese food……not his skewed version that managed to offend & insult every Asian from different Asian countries.

  20. 83wow that lady is beautiful ❤ I’m on the tofu, sweet pot and seaweed.

  23. For viewers whose native language is not English (including Japanese), please consider adding automatic subtitles. Have a great trip to Japan!

  24. the reason they live so long is not really a mystery to anyone that's lived here (in Japan) for a couple of decades.

    first of all, the food in general is just healthier. That's a plus. Less pastries, high-sugar cereals. you don't find people eating sodium-packed crisps. the sweets in general are all a bit mild really. less creamy, less intense in flavour (less addictive as a whole). green tea. seaweed. portions are smaller in general. they don't pack your plate like back home, where you often leave a meal absolutely stuffed.
    secondly, the Japanese don't use public transport everywhere. this has a lot to do with the layout of the city/countryside, which often encourages walking. almost everywhere in Japan is walkable, that's one of it's perks. there are very few restricted areas.
    stress free. Japan is heaven if you're retired.confrontations are very rare, there's low crime, nice weather. lots of community events and working on allotments together, every day is very pleasant.
    lastly have you ever heard of 'spaghetti state'? in Japan it's not uncommon to see elderly individuals being kept alive for long periods through intensive medical intervention — feeding tubes, prolonged bed rest, life-support machinery, etc. In Europe there's more emphasis on palliative care: Quality of life, rather than just life extension, is a priority. This artificially bumps up 'longevity' by a year or two.

  25. Im so excited to see him visit my country ！Even I am living overseas now. I wish to show him around more and more .Thanks for coming, and I look forward to seeing your new experience around the world
