5.0 out of 5 stars A Healthy, Fun Way to Lose Weight!, January 1, 2007

By 

Traveler (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DIET of JAPAN: Reduces Cancer, Heart and Menopause Problems (DVD)

I really loved this video. It's refreshing to see a new way to lose weight that really works. And this isn't just about Japanese food it's about how to live a healthy lifestyle, which you can adapt to the food you eat in the USA. `Most diet fads don't work.' On the other hand, during the last century, 100 million people tested the diet shown on this video and they succeeded - it shows how the Japanese stay healthy and thin. And they have fewer cancer, heart disease and menopause problems than Americans. The DIET of JAPAN shows 12 types of Japanese cuisine (sushi is only one of these, if eating raw fish is not your cup of tea), and it shows how the Japanese exercise and relax. The music is great, and it even has music videos to help you lose weight. It reveals the seven secrets of how the Japanese keep off the pounds and live the longest on earth. And you can follow most of these tips even if you only want to eat American food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Introduction to Japan's cuisine, May 18, 2008

By 

Owner Japanese Restaurant in UK - See all my reviews

This review is from: DIET of JAPAN: Reduces Cancer, Heart and Menopause Problems (DVD)

The videos "Japan: Samurai, Geisha and Technology" and the "Diet of Japan" are the perfect tourist guides and introduction to Japan's cuisine for my customers. I run a small family Japanese restaurant in northern England and we show these videos to my customers (we got permission to show these from the producer). Unlike many parts of the UK, we live in a town which is still new to the idea of eating Sushi or any food which does not come from Europe for that matter. These videos are a great way to get our customers to try some sushi and to spend more time in my restaurant.

5.0 out of 5 stars The incredible secrets of the Japanese lifestyle; how they stay thin, January 23, 2007

By 

Nature Lover - See all my reviews

This review is from: DIET of JAPAN: Reduces Cancer, Heart and Menopause Problems (DVD)

This video reveals the secrets of the Japanese lifestyle. It shows what they eat, how they exercise and the beautiful hot springs where they relax. This DVD covers over 20 types of Japanese cuisine and it includes almost as many restaurants since in Japan different restaurants specialize in different cuisines. And it takes you behind the scenes and shows expert Japanese chefs preparing the food. It includes the Japanese tea ceremony. And it shows you how you can adopt their lifestyle in America. It goes way beyond just making rice balls and sushi, although it does show chefs making these.

It covers an astounding range of Japanese cuisines. It shows you how to make dishes like Chikuzen-ni (a chicken dish), noodles (Ramen, Soba and Udon), Tempura, Sukiyaki and Shabu-Shabu (meat and vegetables which you cook yourself at a restaurant that specializes in this), Okonomiyaki (a type of Japanese pizza, but with seafood rather than cheese), Tempura, Miso Soup, Unagi, even Genghis Khan (a specialty dish of lamb and vegetables in northern Japan) and other meals. It also shows the type of foods and how to eat them at other restaurants including Yakitori and Izakaya. There is also a companion video which is a tour of Japan "JAPAN: Samurai, Geisha and Technology"(search for it on Amazon). Get both of them and sample the cuisine and lifestyle and use them both to plan your trip to Japan! And take their tips on how to live a long healthy life.
