00:00Next, we visited Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture.
00:10Actually, the day before...
00:13I learned about the traditional sweet made from edamame, Zunda.
00:19I heard it's very delicious, so I want to learn how to make it.
00:24Zunda mochi, a local dish of Miyagi Prefecture.
00:31Zunda mochi is a Japanese sweet made from edamame, sugar and salt.
00:39I really love Zunda! I'm so happy!
00:44Zunda is very popular all over the country.
00:50When you get addicted to the sweet taste of edamame,
00:55you can't stop eating Zunda mochi.
01:00Is this a super cup?
01:02I'm going to eat this too.
01:05After hearing about the passion of Paul and his wife,
01:09they went to a shop where they could feel at home.
01:13Welcome!
01:20Shelly and Paul, welcome.
01:22This is awesome!
01:23It's in the colour of edamame.
01:27Awesome, I love it.
01:30Welcome!
01:32She looks like someone who's been to Hawaii.
01:36Edamame.
01:39Thank you very much.
01:41My name is Shelly. This is my husband, Paul.
01:44Hello.
01:45I'm Hiromi Hosoya.
01:46I'm Yukki, the eldest daughter.
01:48I'm Nanika, the oldest daughter.
01:49Nice to meet you.
01:50Nice to meet you too.
01:55Endo mochi shop, established in 1976.
02:00They mainly sell daifuku and dango.
02:02Their sweets are handmade.
02:06It looks delicious!
02:07I love dango!
02:08This is it!
02:09So cute!
02:10Zunda mochi!
02:12Zunda mochi is a specialty.
02:14It won the Nobel Prize in Agriculture and Fisheries
02:16at a conference on sweets.
02:22They are particular about their local products.
02:24Edamame and mochigome are all from Miyagi prefecture.
02:30There are many regular customers and repeaters.
02:38There are many Zunda mochi shops,
02:40but this Zunda mochi has a strong bean flavor.
02:47I thought it was delicious, so I came to buy it.
02:51In the post-war era,
02:54the founder, Hiromi's father, Chuichi,
02:58wanted everyone to eat sweets, so he opened a shop.
03:04The fourth generation is the daughter.
03:06That's right.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Dad.
03:09Dad?
03:10I have another job,
03:12and I live in a different area,
03:15but I'm good at sales,
03:17so I want to support sales in the future.
03:22And?
03:23I want to have a local edamame festival.
03:29Please teach me the recipe for Zunda mochi.
03:33I want to learn new edamame recipes
03:35and make everyone happy.
03:38I'm happy to hear that.
03:42Let's try the Zunda mochi.
03:51The first dish is Zunda mochi.
03:55I want to try the Zunda mochi here.
04:00It's very delicious.
04:03It has a wonderful taste.
04:05It's smooth and easy to eat.
04:08I like its mild sweetness.
04:10I don't think it's quite as sweet.
04:12The edamame has a rich flavour.
04:16We use edamame called hidenmame.
04:23It's classified as a white bean.
04:29It's excellent in sweetness, aroma, and flavour.
04:35It's grown only in the Tohoku region,
04:38so it doesn't produce much edamame.
04:43And?
04:45It's cute.
04:47It's Zunda.
04:49It's wonderful.
04:53It's an ice candy made from Zunda.
05:00I see.
05:03It's a wax bar.
05:06Cheers.
05:13It's wonderful.
05:16It's hot, but it's still delicious.
05:21Excellent.
05:22It's delicious ice cream.
05:24Excellent.
05:26He's going to show us how to make Zunda mochi.
05:36How is it made?
05:41Mr. Sato, who has 10 years of experience, will tell us.
05:47I'm Sato.
05:50The ingredients for Zunda mochi are
05:52edamame,
05:57salt,
05:58and sugar.
06:01We use the most delicious sugar.
06:04This salt is called Date-no-Umajiyo.
06:07It's a delicious local salt.
06:11Sugar is said to go well with Japanese sweets.
06:16Mr. Ishinomaki has boiled the sea water in Hiragama.
06:24First, he steams the edamame for 8 minutes.
06:31And then...
06:35He prepares a mortar so that it can be made by hand in the U.S.
06:41He prepares a mortar.
06:43When my father started this shop,
06:47there was no machine like this,
06:49so he made Zunda mochi by hand.
06:55I'm getting excited.
06:58Now, he'll show us how to make it.
07:02First, he peels the thin skin of the steamed edamame.
07:07It's hot.
07:08To improve the texture of the edamame,
07:12he peels the skin.
07:16It's a lot of work.
07:19It takes 15 minutes to peel 500g of edamame.
07:24Peeling is done.
07:26It's hard.
07:27And then...
07:29He crushes it.
07:32He grinds it until it becomes a paste.
07:38In the old days,
07:41we made Zunda paste with a mortar at home.
07:47After crushing it,
07:52he adds 3g of salt,
07:56180g of sugar,
08:02and leaves it for about 30 minutes.
08:0530 minutes?
08:07Now, Zunda paste is done.
08:11By the way, he usually uses a large mixer.
08:15That's right.
08:18Next is mochi.
08:19Time is up.
08:22Mochi rice is Miyagi Ishinomaki's Miyakogane mochi.
08:29It has an elegant sweetness, aroma, stickiness, and texture.
08:33It's the king of mochi rice.
08:36It's beautiful.
08:39He steams the mochi rice with a steamer.
08:42It becomes a soft mochi.
08:46This is where he shows his skills.
08:52I cut the mochi into bite-sized pieces.
08:59The mochi is cute.
09:01It's cute.
09:04It's done in no time.
09:08Moreover, there is almost no error in the setting of 20g per piece.
09:21He's amazing.
09:22He's a professional.
09:24If you put Zunda paste on fresh mochi like this,
09:30it becomes a perfect Zunda mochi.
09:41The texture of the edamame is good,
09:45and the fresh aroma is the best.
09:49That's great.
09:50That's right.
09:52Now, he will teach us a simple recipe using Zunda paste that can be made in the U.S.
10:02This is spring roll skin.
10:05It's a skin used in Chinese cuisine.
10:08In addition to that, he uses sliced cheese and Zunda paste.
10:13Cheese and Zunda paste.
10:16First, cut the sliced cheese into four pieces.
10:21Then, add Zunda paste to the cheese.
10:27Roll the cheese thinly.
10:30Then, wet the edge of the cheese and close it.
10:34He's getting used to it.
10:37He's good at it.
10:41Then, put the cheese in the oil.
10:44He's good at it.
10:48When both sides turn golden brown,
10:54Zunda spring roll with cheese and Zunda paste is ready.
11:06Cheese and Zunda paste go well together.
11:09Zunda paste.
11:15There are many festivals in Ohio.
11:18If you go there, you'll be popular.
11:23On that night,

12:51What did Ms. Yuki, the eldest daughter, say?
12:54I thought it would be useful for my family.
12:59I'm going to use it to advertise.
13:04What does she want Paul to see?
13:08What is it?
13:12What?
13:17She went all out.
13:22Edamame.

15:40they went to a Japanese restaurant in the airport.
15:46They couldn't wait.
15:50They had original craft beer at Narita Airport.
