Models talk about hair and self-care.

For many people, a meal is something to look forward to. For Mr. Yasui, however, the time spent at the restaurant can be described as bliss. This is because he is greeted by his wife, Miyako Takayama's professional cooking.

. I have nothing but gratitude for my wife. I used to cook when I lived alone, but of course I didn't have the quantity or quality of food that she had. When I made a nabe, I would just pour in the ingredients for the nabe and cook the meat straight from the packet. It wasn't until I lived with my wife that I learned how to make soup stock and how to wipe the meat with kitchen paper to make it tastier.

Mr. Takayama is well known for his skills as he has published a book on food. Tonight's table is lined with brightly colored yellow, red, and green items. These colors are not only pleasing to the eye, but are also very colorful for the sake of the body.

If there are three colors in it, I think it's okay as far as nutrition is concerned. . It also looks good. Basically, I try to include proteins and vegetables ...... that have a bit of an antioxidant effect," explained Takayama.

Today's seven dishes include karaage, watercress, avocado, and nori salad, fig with sesame paste, firefly squid and tomato with sansho butter, ethnic salad with grilled vegetables, cumin flavored carrot kinpira, black natto wrapped in nori, and Thai kombujime. What a great number of items this is the daily standard, and it is also a daily scene that Yasui-san shares her impressions of the dish, saying, "The kombujime of Thai is nice and tight, it's delicious.

Dinner is an important time for the two busy people to spend together over a meal.

We watch TV shows we've recorded or talk about what happened today. . It depends on the day, as we both have morning shoots, but most of the time, we have dinner together. I like to go out for drinks with friends, and we sometimes eat out, but naturally I eat with my wife about three times a week.

Yasui says that this meal is essential not only for enjoyment, but also for controlling one's physical condition.

I can enjoy junk food as a meal when I go out somewhere, but when I think of it as an everyday meal, I don't find it so tasty anymore. . I guess it is thanks to this healthy diet that I have no abnormalities in my body and am able to maintain my health. With so many vegetables in my diet, I really feel that I have a good intestinal environment."

In fact, Mr. Takayama plans his menu with Yasui's health in mind. Mr. Takayama says, "If there have been too many carbohydrates recently, I try to be health-conscious by adding more vegetables and fish, or having a lighter dinner. Eating is very important, and Tatsuro is 36 years old, so it's not surprising that he would be concerned about his hair. I believe that one's hair is definitely affected by one's diet. I once heard from a hairdresser that food definitely affects hair, so I make a conscious effort to include seaweed in my diet.

This is no longer a matter of Yasui-san's self-care, but rather of Takayama-san's care (laughs). Anyway, if such delicious and rich food becomes a part of one's daily life, does it change one's sense of value toward food?

I want to cherish each and every meal, and of course I want to enjoy the taste of food, but there is more to food than that. I want to cherish each and every meal, and of course enjoy the taste, but there is more to food than that. It is also interesting to know where each ingredient comes from and who makes it, and I have learned to look at food more broadly and to enjoy it more, for example, by paying attention to the dishes.

And he says that staying healthy through healthy eating and bath running has changed his values about coolness.

. I've changed my mind about how cool it is to be healthy. Before I got married, I had an image of models in their 20s and early 30s as being cool even if they looked a little sluggish, and that was actually how I felt. But I thought I had to move on from that, and through self-care, I have come to see cleanliness as cool.
