Welcome to the Frugal Japan channel.

I’m sharing 10 affordable proteins Japanese families rely on when money is tight—all available at Walmart for under $5. These simple staples helped my grandmother in Kobe feed a family of six, with protein at every meal, without stretching her factory wage beyond its limits.
I’ll show you how I use eggs, natto, tofu, chicken drumsticks, sardines, ground pork, chicken livers and gizzards, edamame, canned tuna, and plain yogurt to make satisfying meals on a budget. I’ll also explain how my grandmother stretched expensive beef, turned one bag of drumsticks into multiple meals and broth, and prepared quick proteins in just minutes.
