00:17Wow, I can see the hayabuki.
00:20Amazing. It's magnificent.
00:23Wow, amazing. Is this a gold mine?
00:26That's right. In my case, I hit the metal plate to make it.
00:31That's nice.
00:32I also make this.
00:33This too?
00:34How much is the soba powder?
00:3610% of the soba powder.
00:37How long does it take to make soba?

01:04Potunto Ikkenya.
01:10It's Potunto Ikkenya.
01:11Yes.
01:12How did you come to live in Potunto Ikkenya?
01:14I was born in Okinoshima, Shimane Prefecture.
01:17So, I'm very interested in self-sufficiency.
01:20I fish and eat fish myself.
01:22Does that mean you have the ability to cope with such situations?
01:24No, I'm not the type to face danger.
01:27You're the type to cope with it?

01:35It's like a city.
01:36You were born and raised in a city.
01:38It's a different image.
01:39When I watch your interviews in the mountains,
01:42many people ask me if I'm Takahashi-san.
01:45You look like an out-of-the-way person.
01:49But you're not good at it.
01:51This is today's Potunto Ikkenya.
01:55It's a mountainous area in the northeastern part of Japan.
01:58It's in the middle of the mountain.
01:59It's in the middle of the southern mountain.

02:03There are brown and blue roofs.
02:06It's a long building.
02:08I'm curious about the parasol over there.
02:10That's a parasol.
02:12It looks like a tent.
02:13Is that a parasol?
02:15It looks like a beach over there.
02:19It's a dark color here.
02:22It looks like it's filled with water.
02:25Is it filled with water?
02:26Can I say it?
02:28There's nothing but a farm.
02:29A farm?
02:31What do you farm?
02:32It's a pine tree.
02:34There's a place where you can cook.
02:37You can fish there.
02:38You can eat the pine trees there.
02:41That's impossible.
02:43There's no parking space for customers.
02:49It's impossible without a car.
02:51It's a mountainous area.
02:53They're looking for a house in Yamagata Prefecture.

04:04I'm on a show called Potsun and Ikkenya.

04:08That's a good timing.
04:09My grandmother is a fan of Potsun and Ikkenya.
04:12Is that so?
04:14I'd like to ask people around here.
04:16Are you looking for something?

04:19Where is it now?
04:21It's a village around here.
04:24I'm sure they'll show me this.
04:25This is a street, isn't it?
04:27That's right.
04:29I'd like to ask people around here.
04:32My wife is a goldsmith.
04:35She's an artist.
04:36She's going to have a talk show.
04:39So, people from the neighborhood are coming and going.
04:42That's a good idea.
04:44It's a gallery.
04:48This is a house.
04:49There's a place I'm looking for on TV.
04:52The current location is around here.
04:54I'd like to go to that house.

05:04This is Katsuo's house.
05:06Katsuo's house.
05:08Katsuo Land.
05:11I knew it.
05:14This is his house.
05:15Katsuo Land.
05:17It's Katsuo Land.
05:18Katsuo Land?
05:19That's how I know.
05:20Katsuo Land?
05:21What's that?
05:22That's the name.
05:23That's the secret.
05:24Ikebago.
05:25That's a joke.
05:26Ikebago?
05:27If I say Katsuo Land, people will get mad at me.
05:30I went there last year.
05:32Really?
05:33I remember seeing a pond and a parasol.
05:37Is this a pond?
05:38It's a pond.
05:39There are fish in the pond.
05:40There are fish in the pond?
05:42There are a lot of them.
05:44Really?
05:45That's the correct answer.
05:46There are fish in the pond.
05:48It's a farm.
05:49It's a farm.
05:50It's a pumpkin field.

06:14I don't have a friend who is a sleeping tuna.

06:19I think he is in his late 60s.

06:35He also runs a soba shop.
06:38Katsuo.
06:40Katsuo.
06:41I said it without thinking.
06:43This is only in Katsuo's world.
06:46I thought it was ridiculous.
06:48I think this is a good picture.
06:52There is a place that is out of the ordinary.
06:54It's good to see this.
06:56It's an out of the ordinary place.
06:58The owner of a soba shop is the late 60s Okita Katsuo.

07:17He also buys fish in the pond.
07:20Sato, who heard the road, called it Katsuo Land.
07:25He told me excitedly that it was an out-of-the-ordinary place.
07:30Did you make this place to make everyone happy?
07:34Ayaka, are you really from a soba shop?
07:37Thank you very much.
07:40There is a place I want to go to.
07:43It's called Katsuo Land.
07:45Isn't it Katsuo Land?
07:47No, it's not.
07:48Why do you call it that?
07:50I feel like there was a parasol like this.
07:52Isn't this the place of Iwana?
07:56Iwana?
07:58It's a pine tree.
08:00It's a similar thing.
08:02Iwana.
08:03I called my friends and stayed overnight here.
08:09I was talking happily.
08:12If I ask you now, will you come?
08:15This is a soba shop.
08:18Hello Soba.
08:20It's my house.
08:21When I went to the soba shop,

09:14Before visiting the shop,

09:22That's right.
09:23When I first came here,
09:25I thought it was a temple.

10:42Thank you for your time.

10:48This is amazing.
10:50Is this a gold mine?
10:52Yes, it is.
10:53There are many kinds of gold mines.
10:55For me, I call it a gold mine.
10:57For me, I call it a gold mine.
10:59It's a work of hitting a metal plate.
11:03There are many kinds.
11:05This is a small spoon for yogurt.
11:10This is a coffee maker.
11:13It's a spoon for making coffee beans.
11:19You hit it and make it.
11:21It's getting more interesting.
11:23What kind of materials do you use?
11:25This is brass.
11:27This is brass.
11:29This is brass.
11:31This is a cookie cutter.
11:33It takes a lot of time to make compared to a spoon.
11:35It takes a lot of time to make compared to a spoon.
11:37There are some cookies that I can make.
11:41You're good at it.
11:43I made this.
11:45I made this.
11:47I make sweets like this.
11:49You make sweets?
11:51Oh, that's nice.
11:53This one too?
11:55Is it called a lampshade?
11:57It's so stylish.
11:59Oh, it's a lampshade.
12:01Is it on sale?
12:03Yes, it is.
12:05We have exhibitions and solo exhibitions in various places.
12:09We also have online stores.
12:11We deliver our products from our own stores.
12:15Now that we have this place,
12:17we'd like to sell our products here as well.
12:21You can open a store anywhere now.
12:23Will this place become a store in the future?
12:25Yes, it will.
12:27Where will the work space be?
12:29It will be here.
12:31Oh, here?
12:33Yes, please come in.
12:35Thank you very much.
12:37Wow, it's so spacious.
12:39Yes, it is.
12:41Wow, it's so spacious.
12:43There are so many things here.
12:45Oh, I see.
12:47It's hard to work in the middle of the city.
12:51I don't have a lot of tools.
12:55For example,
12:57when I make a dent in a spoon,
12:59I use a round object like this.
13:03When I make a flat object like a tray,
13:07I hit it with a big object like this.
13:11In the case of a hammer,
13:15the metal becomes hard when I hit it.
13:19So, when I want to tighten it,
13:21I use a metal hammer.
13:23You can also sand the surface.
13:25Sand it?
13:27You can put a pattern on a stone
13:29and transfer it here.
13:31If you hit it with this,
13:33the pattern will be transferred to the metal again.
13:37This is called Arashi-zuchi.
13:41There is also such a metal hammer.
13:43You can make various shapes with it.
13:47I don't have a lot of tools.
13:49By the way,
13:51can you show me what you are making?
13:53Oh, yes.
13:55I'll show you what I'm making.
13:57Can I?
13:59Ms. Ayaka, a goldsmith,
14:01showed her a work called pankin.
14:06This is a tea spoon.
14:09I just cut out a board.
14:12It's flat.
14:14What is the material of this?
14:16This is the same material as a 500-yen coin called Youhaku.
14:21It's made of copper alloy.
14:24It's still flat.
14:26Can I see it?
14:29Yes.
14:32A flat metal plate cut into the shape of a spoon.
14:38First, hit it with a hammer to stretch it.
14:41Adjust the thickness.
14:43Hit it and make it wide and thin.
14:46Do you stretch it once?
14:48That's right.
14:50Wow, the shape has changed completely.
14:53It's true.
14:55And this plate part.
14:58Do you make it with that wood?
15:00Yes.
15:06Wow.
15:08It's amazing.
15:10It starts with making various jigs.
15:12There are many jigs like this.
15:14And this time,
15:16hit the inside of the dent with a hammer to shape it.
15:25Here you are.
15:29Wow.
15:31It was just a board.
15:33That's right.
15:34It has changed so much.
15:36It's amazing.
15:38It's almost in the shape of a spoon.
15:40But when you hold it,
15:42I think the pad will still hit your finger.
15:46I'll finish that part later.
15:51Why did you start making metal work?
15:55I went to an art school.
15:58I learned there.
16:01You used to specialize in metal work.
16:04Which university did you go to?
16:06Tokyo University of the Arts.
16:10Tokyo University of the Arts?
16:12That's right.
16:13It's an art school.
16:15It's amazing.
16:17It's the best.
16:19At that time,
16:21I didn't want to make metal work.
16:24But when I actually worked on it,
16:27I could do it again.
16:30Even if I think it's done,
16:32when I heat it up, it goes back to the material.
16:36I see.
16:37I'm quite indecisive.
16:40I thought it suited me.
16:44So I tried it.
16:46Thank you very much.
16:48You showed me a great work.
16:54Thank you for showing me your work.
16:58I'll go to Gendo Soba.
17:01I'll be back.
17:07It was good to see you.
17:09It was good.
17:10You showed me your work.
17:14You're so kind.

17:36This is the river.
17:37There is a bridge.
17:39Cross the river.

21:27I built this hut to do farm work.
21:31I wanted to drink something.
21:34So I made this hut.
21:37Do you have a hut?
21:38Yes, I have a hut.
21:40I see.
21:41I drink and eat in the summer.
21:43I grill meat.
21:45Do you grill meat?
21:46Yes, I grill meat.
21:47This is where I stay.
21:49You can stay here?
21:51Of course, I have a futon here.
21:54Do you come here every day?
21:56Yes, I come here every day.
21:58I wake up at 3 a.m. every day.
22:00I make soba noodles.
22:02I work at a company as a farmer.
22:07Is that so?
22:08Yes.
22:09I work as an employee in a farm nearby.
22:13Don't you have a soba restaurant every day?
22:16I come here for lunch.
22:18I make soba noodles when I'm busy.
22:23I leave work at 1 p.m.
22:26That's a long time.
22:28I work from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
22:34You work all the time.
22:36That's right.
22:37He doesn't have a soba restaurant.
22:39What is he?
22:41He is tough.
22:43He wakes up at 3 a.m.
22:45He doesn't have any customers.
22:48So he sleeps in the winter.
22:52I see.
22:54Do you live here?
22:57No, I live in the house in front of you.
23:00Is this your house?
23:02This is my shop.
23:04This is my house.
23:06What was this house originally?
23:09It was a house.
23:11Did you live here?
23:12Yes, I lived here.
23:14I cooked rice in that barn.
23:17There is a barn over there.
23:19I cooked rice in that barn.
23:22I thought it was a nice house.
23:25How many years has this house been here?
23:27It's been more than 150 years.
23:31150 years?
23:33It's hard to maintain this house.
23:36So I bought a new house.
23:38I spent 500,000 yen on that house.
23:40I see.
23:42If I don't clean it, it will rot.
23:45So I clean it every year.
23:49I spend 500,000 yen every year.
23:52You add money little by little.
23:55Did you run a soba restaurant while living in this house?
24:00No, I ran a soba restaurant after that.
24:04I started running a soba restaurant in May 1924.
24:08I didn't let people eat soba in the past.
24:11I made soba around here.
24:15It was a time of food shortage.
24:17I couldn't farm in winter.
24:19So I brought soba from the village in autumn.
24:23I made it into a powder.
24:25I got a powder stand and made it into a mold.
24:28I did farm work in summer.
24:31I started running a restaurant from my father's stand.
24:35I made a soba stand.
24:37I can store soba in summer and winter.
24:42I started running a restaurant in summer from my father's stand.
24:47Your father built it.
24:49That's why it's called Genzo Soba.
24:51I see.
24:52I graduated from high school.
24:54I started training in Nagasakasa, Azabu district, Tokyo.
24:59That's amazing.
25:02I was told that I should train in other soba restaurants.
25:07Did your father tell you that?
25:09Yes, he did.
25:10I see.
25:11He taught me a lot of things.
25:15But my father told me not to make cold soba.
25:21I see.
25:23Soba is cold even in the middle of winter.
25:25That's true.
25:26You only make one serving of Mori soba.
25:28That's right.
25:29I only make cold soba.
25:31That's amazing.
25:33I only eat cold soba all year round.
25:35That's amazing.
25:37I think I need to improve it little by little.
25:41You had a lot of customers, didn't you?
25:44No, it was a little warm today.
25:49It was founded on May 24th.
25:52Okitake has been running for four generations since it started making soba.
25:58Katsuo was born as the eldest son of three members of the Okitake family.
26:06After graduating from a local high school,
26:09he trained in Nagasaka, a famous restaurant in Tokyo for three years.
26:16When he returned to Yamagata, he started helping his family make Genzo soba.
26:22Six years later, Genzo's father died of liver cancer at the age of 59.
26:33Katsuo has been taking care of the restaurant for 40 years after his father's death at the age of 27.
26:44The restaurant is open from 11 am to 2 pm.
26:51While working at the company, Katsuo helps his wife and relatives.
27:02Good evening, everyone. I'm Rika Ikuta.
27:06A baby was born.
27:08It seems that there is a case of pregnancy.
27:11What are you doing at such a time?
27:13The program is broadcast from 10 p.m.
27:17Genzo Soba
27:19Genzo Soba is a soba restaurant run by Okita Katsuo,
27:23the owner of a shop in the mountains of Yamagata Prefecture.
27:29The Kayabuki-yane, where the family used to live, is 150 years old.
27:37When you enter the restaurant, there is a large space.
27:41Through the glass, you can see Katsuo making soba.
27:48How much is the soba flour?
27:5110% of the soba flour.
27:53Is the soba flour from Yamagata Prefecture?
27:55Yes, it is.
27:57This is Dewa Kaori.
27:59Dewa Kaori.
28:01This is the best.
28:04Put the soba flour in a kneading bowl and pour boiling water.
28:09Stir with chopsticks to blend with the flour.
28:15When there is no water, stir with both hands and knead the soba flour firmly.
28:25After kneading for about a minute, the soba flour became lumpy.
28:30This is a heavy work.
28:32I think my back will hurt at that height.
28:35That's where you put the most weight.
28:37That's why it's that high.
28:42It takes a long time to knead the soba flour.
28:45If you knead it for a long time, the soba flour will get cold.
28:50The soba flour will get cold?
28:52The soba flour will get dry.
28:5410% of the soba flour is a lot of work.
28:57It's not connected.
28:59It looks hard from here.
29:01Because it's hard.
29:03Kana-san, wash your hands.
29:05Yes, I'll wash my hands.
29:11This is done.
29:13Wipe your hands first.
29:15Touch it.
29:17Wipe your hands and put it here.
29:21It's warm.
29:23It's warm.
29:25If you don't do this, the soba flour will crack.
29:32This requires a lot of strength.
29:36The muscles of the arms are amazing.
29:38That's true.
29:4010% of the soba flour requires a lot of speed.
29:43If you knead it quickly and roll it,
29:46It's amazing.
29:48You put weight on it and push it.
29:50While turning it little by little,
29:52spread the dough round.
29:57After spreading it to a diameter of about 30 cm,
30:00she got a rolling pin with a length of 2 meters.
30:05This looks difficult.
30:07It's amazing.
30:09Roll it on the dough and stretch it thinly.
30:17It's amazing.
30:19It's amazing.
30:21It's amazing.
30:23You touched it and it was warm, right?
30:25The temperature drops from the edge.
30:28Then it will crack.
30:30This is good.
30:32The crack gets bigger and bigger.
30:35It goes inside.
30:39The temperature is still in the middle,
30:42so I'll put it back.
30:44Put it back?
30:46It's a waste.
30:48This is 100% soba flour.
30:51So it won't crack.
30:53It won't crack.
30:54So it's a game of time.
30:56In Russia, there is no connection.
30:59There is no connection.
31:00I've never seen that before.
31:03If you stretch it to a thickness of about 2 mm with salt again,
31:08the dough is complete.
31:12It's only been about 10 minutes since he started kneading the soba flour.
31:16You're a master.
31:17No, I'm not.
31:20With a soba-cutting knife inherited from generation to generation,
31:24if you cut it to a thickness of 2 mm, the noodles are complete.
31:29It's amazing.
31:30It's amazing.
31:33Freshly made noodles are immediately brought to a large pot with hot water.
31:39It takes about 2 minutes to boil.
31:47When the noodles are boiled, scoop them out with a colander
31:50and immediately expose them to cold water to drain.
31:54It's a piece of cake.
31:57The water used is spring water drawn from the mountains.
32:02The way of making soba has not changed at all since his father's generation.
32:08I'm impressed.
32:10It looks delicious.
32:12It must be delicious.
32:14Set it at 3, 2, 3.
32:16Yes.
32:17The person next to the TV.
32:18Is it okay?
32:20I'm sorry.
32:22You're acting like you're watching the current trend.
32:27I'm sorry for the sudden visit. Thank you very much.
32:30I'll take your word for it. Thank you very much.
32:32When you bring the noodles, you have to eat them right away.
32:35You don't have to talk much.
32:37You have to eat them right away.
32:39I don't have to talk?
32:40Not much.
32:42If it takes a long time, the noodles will dry out.
32:45Like this.
32:47If it dries like this, it won't be good.
32:50Mr. Katsuo, who serves freshly made noodles to the search party,
32:57even served vegetable tempura.
33:01Thank you very much.
33:03Please try it.
33:05It looks delicious.
33:07Itadakimasu.
33:09You don't have to talk. Just eat it.
33:11You don't have to talk.
33:13It's beautiful.
33:15You don't have to talk. Just eat it.
33:17The way of eating is also a speed show.
33:19I'm sorry.
33:27It must be delicious.
33:31It's smooth.
33:33It's delicious.
33:35Is that so? I'm glad.
33:37It's chewy.
33:39Yes, it's chewy.
33:41I can feel the aroma of soba.
33:43I can feel it coming out of my nose.
33:46Let's eat the next one.
33:48You don't have to talk.
33:49What is this tempura?
33:51It's udon.
33:53Udon?
33:55It's a new type of udon.
33:59It sounds good.
34:01It's a little bitter.
34:03It's a little bitter.
34:05It's refreshing and bitter.
34:07You can eat it refreshingly.
34:09It depends on the season.
34:11The ingredients are different.
34:13I buy fresh ingredients every day.
34:15It's delicious.
34:17There are a lot of things I've never eaten.
34:19Do you eat poisonous food?
34:21If you dry or heat the poisonous food,
34:23the smell will disappear.
34:25It smells like that.
34:27Let's go.
34:29I'll change my clothes.
34:31It's 3 p.m.
34:33It's 3 p.m.
34:35It's 3 p.m.
34:37It's 3 p.m.
34:39It's 3 p.m.
34:41It's 3 p.m.
34:43It's 3 p.m.
34:45It's 3 p.m.
34:47It's 3 p.m.
34:49It's 3 p.m.
34:51I don't know.
34:53It's quiet.
34:55I didn't notice it.
34:57It's a male bear.
34:59What kind of bear is it?
35:01It's a male bear.
35:03It's a male bear.
35:05It's a male bear.
35:07It's a male bear.
35:09It's a male bear.
35:11Is it okay today?
35:13It's okay today.
35:15Is it okay today?
35:17I'm scared.
35:19I'm scared.
35:21I'm scared.
35:23I'm scared.
35:25I'm scared.
35:27I'm scared.
35:29I'm scared.
35:31I'm scared.
35:33I'm scared.
35:35I'm scared.
35:37I'm scared.
35:39I'm scared.
35:41I'm scared.
35:43I'm scared.
35:45I'm scared.
35:47He said it's a Katsuo Land.
35:49He said it's a Katsuo Land.
35:51I'm curious.
35:53It's like a theme park.
35:55It's like a theme park.
35:57It's turning.
35:59It's going in.
36:01It's going in.
36:03It's going in.
36:05It's suddenly getting higher.
36:07It's going up.
36:09It's going up.
36:11It's going up.
36:13It's a crossroad.
36:15What's this?
36:17A rabbit?
36:19A squirrel?
36:21It says it's a mountain hut.
36:23Did Katsuo make this himself?
36:25Did Katsuo make this himself?
36:27That's right.
36:29Is this the landmark?
36:31There was an arrow on the left.
36:33There was an arrow on the left.
36:35It's becoming more like a mountain path.
36:37It's becoming more like a mountain path.
36:41There are no houses at all.
36:43Oh, there's the same one over there.
36:47There's a sign for Yamagoya.
36:51Oh, Mr. Kato, you've stopped.
36:53I'm getting off.
36:57I made it myself.
36:59You made it yourself?
37:01I took off the construction material and made it.
37:03Oh, really?
37:04There's a pipe-like thing for construction.
37:06It's a guard.
37:08It's right in the middle of my stomach.
37:10I see.
37:11Did you draw Yamagoya?
37:13Yes.
37:14Why did you make a sign for Yamagoya?
37:17When you call your friends,
37:19you can't see the road when it gets dark.
37:22You can see it when it's bright,
37:24but once you come, you can't see it.
37:27That's why I made a sign.
37:29Once, I went to a crazy place,
37:31but I didn't come back, so I turned away.
37:33I didn't know, so I went home.
37:35I couldn't get through to Yamagoya on my cell phone.
37:37That's why it didn't work.
37:39So, if I follow the Yamagoya sign,
37:42I can get to Katsuo-san's house.
37:44Yes.
37:45Is it a one-way street from here?
37:47Yes.
37:48Let's go.
37:52It's a one-way street from here.
37:54After Katsuo-san's Keitora,
37:57we enter the deep forest.
38:01What kind of place is Otsunto Ikkenya,
38:04which the locals call Katsuo Land?
38:07What kind of place is Otsunto Ikkenya,
38:09which the locals call Katsuo Land?
38:15If you want to see Otsunto Ikkenya one more time,
38:18you can watch it on TVer.
38:20If you register as a favorite,
38:22it will be even more convenient.
38:25The business of Genzo Soba,
38:27which is located in Kumoto,
38:29is over,
38:31and we head to Otsunto Ikkenya,
38:33which is four kilometers away
38:35from Otsunto Ikkenya.
38:42Wow.
38:44The slope is steep.
38:46It's going up all the way.
38:48It's going up all the way.
38:50How far is it going?
38:52It's running quite a bit.
38:56Be careful of falling rocks.
38:58Is it okay?
39:01This is a gravel road.
39:03It's quite bumpy.
39:06Wow.
39:07On the right side,
39:09there are a lot of rocks.
39:12Is this what you mean by be careful of falling rocks?
39:14I guess so.
39:16There are a lot of rocks.
39:18It's scary.
39:21This is a big one.
39:23This is a cliff on the left.
39:25Wow, it's scary.
39:28The road is narrow.
39:30Wow.
39:32It must be tough at night.
39:34It's a cliff on both sides.
39:36That's right.
39:38It's going up all the way.
39:41What's that?
39:43What's that?
39:47Is that an ambulance?
39:49I wonder what it is.
39:53That's Mr. Katsuo's car.
39:54Is that Mr. Katsuo's car?
39:56That's his car.
39:58I see.
40:00I think it's to avoid the bears.
40:02I see.
40:07There's something over there.
40:09Mr. Katsuo stopped on the right.
40:12There's something here.
40:14There's something here.
40:15There's a hut on the right.
40:17There is.
40:18Did we arrive?
40:20Is this Katsuo Land?
40:27Mr. Katsuo.
40:28Yes.
40:29Is this a mountain hut?
40:31No, it's not a mountain hut yet.
40:33It's not shown here,
40:35but in front of this road,
40:37this is my
40:39warabi-en.
40:41It's not shown in the satellite image yet.
40:43No, it's not shown here.
40:45The lower part is around here.
40:47I see.
40:49You can get warabi.
40:51What was that sound?
40:53It sounded like a siren.
40:55It's to avoid the bears.
40:57Bears, wild boars,
40:59and deer.
41:01It's to prevent
41:03all kinds of animals
41:05from getting close.
41:07Where did the sound come from?
41:09It's from this speaker.
41:11It's true.
41:13It's a loudspeaker.
41:15There's a switch here.
41:17A switch.
41:19Can I turn it on?
41:21Yes, please.
41:27TURN ON
41:29TURN ON
41:31TURN ON
41:33TURN ON
41:35Like this.
41:37It changes the sound.
41:39If it's the same sound,
41:41the animals
41:43won't get scared.
41:45Mr. Katsuo adjusted it
41:47and played it.
41:49I see.
41:51I thought something was wrong.
41:53I was surprised.
41:55You can play it
41:57where no one is around.
41:59Is this warabi farm
42:01owned by you?
42:03There was a cedar tree here.
42:05I cut the cedar and
42:07rented it to grow warabi.
42:09You rented it.
42:11I paid for it
42:13and rented it.
42:15Look, it's all warabi.
42:17It's true.
42:19I'm about to step on it.
42:21It comes out of the snow.
42:23Wow.
42:25I don't fertilize it at all.
42:27It's a natural warabi.
42:29Does it grow naturally?
42:31I buy it
42:33and clean it up.
42:35Then I get warabi.
42:37I see.
42:39It grows so tall.
42:41Yes.
42:43I have to pick it up tomorrow morning.
42:45You have to pick it up?
42:47Yes, I have to.
42:49It grows a lot.
42:51Look at this.
42:53It's hard.
42:55It's hard.
42:57I see.
42:59I cut it
43:01in one shot.
43:03Like this.
43:05Wow.
43:07It's hard.
43:09It takes about an hour and a half
43:11with one container.
43:13An hour and a half?
43:15Is it the end of the season for warabi?
43:17Yes, it is.
43:19Warabi grows until the end of May.
43:21If I don't pick it up,
43:23I can't get the next one.
43:25Even if I don't need it,
43:27I have to pick it up.
43:29Then I get warabi again.
43:31I see.
43:33If I don't clean it up,
43:35I can't get the next one.
43:37So I have to pick it up.
43:39Do you do it by hand?
43:41Yes, I do.
43:43He does it alone.
43:45This is koshiabura.
43:47What is koshiabura?
43:49It's the root of a tree.
43:51Is it the root of a tree?
43:53Yes, it is.
43:55We make tempura with it.
43:57I've never heard of it.
43:59Koshiabura is the best.
44:01Is that so?
44:03It's even better.
44:05Koshiabura is good.
44:07You can find it in soba restaurants in Niigata.
44:09When it's in season.
44:13Let's smell it.
44:15Wait a minute.

44:41I think there are fewer people who eat koshiabura tempura now.
44:43I think there are fewer people who eat koshiabura tempura now.
44:45It smells refreshing.
44:47I should have eaten it today.
44:49This is good.
44:51It smells refreshing and a little bitter.
44:53This is good.
44:55I've seen it before.

45:35The road is getting rough.
45:37Yeah, it's a bit uneven.

45:46It's opening up.
45:48There's something like a curve mirror.
45:50What is it?
45:52Have we arrived?

46:15Finally, we've arrived at the Yamagata prefecture's
46:18one-of-a-kind shop, which we found in the satellite images.
46:24The greenery of the countryside
46:27and the gentle breeze of the mountains.
46:30In the beautiful fields,
46:33there are a few buildings with a brown roof,
46:37and a few buildings with a black vinyl roof.
46:44When compared to the satellite images,
46:47some buildings have a different roof color,
46:51but the location of the fields and roads are all the same.
46:56There's no mistake here.

47:05So this is Yamagoya.
