00:00Next, Crescent will go to Hakodate.
00:06Hakodate?
00:07Yes.
00:08Hakodate is famous for squid.
00:10Actually...
00:13In the city where I live in South Africa,
00:16I can't get fresh squid.
00:20In Japan, which has its own squid culture,
00:23I want to learn various things about squid,
00:26such as fishing and cooking.
00:30Are you going to learn from there?
00:32Yes.
00:37Let's go.
00:38Hakodate?
00:39Yes.
00:40That's right.
00:41Hakodate started making squid,
00:43which is a specialty of Asaichi.
00:46This looks delicious.
00:47Squid.
00:49At Lawson.
00:50In Lawson, there are so many squids?
00:52Yes, squids.
00:53There are so many squids in the city.
00:55I'm scared.
00:59In Hakodate, squids send letters.
01:02That's right.
01:05There are squids all over the city.
01:08And...
01:12What?
01:13Hakodate Warrior!
01:15Do you want to eat squid?
01:17You can buy it here.
01:19I want to eat squid.
01:22There are squids in the sea.
01:26To protect the peace of Hakodate.
01:29To be a hero of squid.
01:33In the early Meiji period,
01:34a fishing method from Sado was passed down.
01:38The Tsugaru Strait and the Dōnan Strait,
01:40which are the main areas of Hakodate,
01:42are the fishing spots for squid.
01:46That's great.
01:49In the Heisei era,
01:51squid was designated as a dead fish.
01:55Hakodate is a city of squid that represents Japan.
02:01He wants to make squid rice with the squid he caught.
02:06To make his dream come true.
02:10Hello.
02:11Hello.
02:12Hello.
02:13Hello.
02:14Good morning.
02:15Good morning.
02:16Nice to meet you.
02:17Nice to meet you.
02:18Nice to meet you.
02:19Nice to meet you.
02:20Nice to meet you.
02:21I'm Christian.
02:23Please call me Kuri.
02:25Okay.
02:26I'm Kimura.
02:27Kimura.
02:30Kimura Yukio, the captain of the squid fishing boat,
02:33who has been a fisherman in Hakodate for generations.
02:39It is said that if you can catch 100 squids,
02:42you can catch a lot.
02:44The highest record he has ever caught is...
02:47371 squids.
02:50What?
02:52No way.
02:54He is a man of the sea who knows all about squid fishing in Hakodate.
03:02Is this your boat?
03:05Yes, it is.
03:06It's very cool.
03:08What's his name?
03:10His name is...
03:15Do you know his name?
03:17Yes.
03:18Shinryu Maru.
03:19Shinryu Maru.
03:20It's a very nice name.
03:21Do you know Dragon Ball?
03:23Dragon Ball.
03:24I know Dragon Ball.
03:25Shenron.
03:26Yes.
03:27He knows it well.
03:28Shenron is a dragon that comes out when you collect seven Dragon Balls
03:33and grants your wish.
03:36Any wish you want.
03:38It's a boat that grants your wish.
03:40Yes.
03:42It's a good name.
03:45My dream is to make squid rice with the squids I caught myself.
03:50Will you grant my wish?
03:52Let's get on the boat and catch a lot of squids.
03:56It sounds fun.
03:57Thank you very much.
04:00Kimura's friends also go squid fishing.
04:05Let's go to the Sugaru Strait.
04:12I want to catch a lot of squids.
04:14I hope I catch them.
04:17I'll do something even if I have to dive into the sea.
04:21The Sugaru Strait is a perfect fishing ground where both the squids from the Japan Sea and the Pacific Ocean come together.
04:33It's a fishing ground for squids.
04:36The number of squids has been increasing since June.
04:41In winter, the number of squids grows up to 30 cm.
04:45When the season changes, the number of squids will grow bigger.
04:49If we want to make squid rice, now is the best time.
04:53They arrive at the fishing spot.
04:57This time, Kureshan will try to catch a squid using a fishing rod.
05:05What?
05:07The squids from the Akaruji Fleet are stuck at the bottom of the sea.
05:13In the daytime, the squids are hiding in the bottom of the sea to escape from tuna.
05:20I see.
05:22Therefore, it is necessary to set up a trap near the bottom of the sea, which is 100 m deep.
05:29I see.
05:31Like this.
05:33Slowly.
05:40This is to make the hook float up and down.
05:44It looks difficult.
05:46Then...
05:48OK, I got a squid.
05:51Are you ready?
05:53It's big.
05:55The squid is caught immediately.
05:59In order not to lose the squid, the squid is wrapped in an electric reel to the bottom of the sea.
06:07What will happen?
06:10I'll catch it.
06:11I see it.
06:16This is a real squid.
06:18It's amazing.
06:21It's alive.
06:23It's alive.
06:25I've never seen a squid alive.
06:28You can see the color changing.
06:30I can see the color changing.
06:32The squid is not stressed while it is white.
06:37The squid turns red when it is stimulated or angry.
06:41I don't know what to say to the squid.
06:46It's beautiful.
06:48It's beautiful.
06:50Finally, he will try to catch a squid for the first time in his life.
06:55OK.
06:57OK.
06:59Remember the weight.
07:04If the squid is heavier than the weight, the squid will be caught.
07:08I got it.
07:11I will definitely catch a squid.
07:14He is trying to catch a squid.
07:16When the squid feels the weight, he will immediately reel it up.
07:21I will slowly reel it up from there.
07:23The squid is about to fall.
07:26The moment the squid is reeled up, the squid is caught.
07:31The squid is caught.
07:35The squid is caught.
07:38The squid is caught.
07:40The squid is caught.
07:41It's amazing.
07:44The squid is getting better.
07:47It's a triple.
07:50Kimura-san said so.
07:53Look at this.
07:56I will catch it.
08:00The color changed.
08:01It's true.
08:03The squid is in a state of being stressed.
08:07This is how to catch a squid that is called nerve-stressing.
08:11By adding nerves to the squid, the information that the squid died from the brain to the body is not transmitted.
08:18In order for the cells to continue to work, the squid keeps freshness.
08:24This is the secret of deliciousness.
08:28And Miyake-san next to him.
08:33It's a triple.
08:35It's amazing.
08:36It's amazing.
08:39Everyone is in a state of being stressed.
08:45Kure-san also feels the change in weight.
08:52Then.
08:54The feeling has changed.
09:00Which one?
09:04No.
09:05I don't know.
09:07It's difficult.
09:10It seems to have been pulled by the flow of the tide.
09:14That's right.
09:17He regains his concentration.
09:20Do your best.
09:30Which one?
09:31No.
09:34It was a different feeling from before.
09:37I feel like I've been pulled to the bottom of the sea.
09:41There is a squid.
09:45Which one?
09:51It's a squid.
09:53No.
09:54It's a mackerel.
09:56Did you catch a mackerel?
09:58He caught a mackerel.
10:09I want to catch at least one.
10:12I think you can do it.
10:17It took three hours to start fishing.
10:19Three hours.
10:22Lower it more.
10:27Lower it more.
10:28Lower it more.
10:29Lower it more.
10:37I think I got a bite.
10:38I think I got a bite.
10:42Did you get a bite?
10:46It's going up.
10:4720 meters more.
10:52OK.
10:58Hold the rod and grab the line.
11:00OK.
11:02From now on, pull the line by hand so that the lure does not come off.
11:08Slowly.
11:10Don't be in a hurry.
11:14I got something.
11:16Did you get a bite?
11:17Yes.
11:18Did you get a bite?
11:19Yes.
11:20Yes.
11:21Yes.
11:24Come to me.
11:26I got a bite.
11:29He may not get a bite yet.
11:32Great.
11:35It's my first squid.
11:38It's an angry one.
11:41He's angry because he got a bite.
11:44The optimal size taught at Abe Shoten is about 20 centimeters.
11:50It's just right.
11:5120 centimeters.
11:52It's a squid size.
11:53It's a squid size.
11:56Then...
11:59Do you want to eat it?
12:00This squid?
12:01Do you want to eat it?
12:02Yes.
12:03Are you hungry?
12:04I'm starving.
12:07He puts his hand on the boat.
12:11It's the best.
12:17Excellent.
12:18It's like cutting butter.
12:22Is he making sashimi?
12:23Is he making sashimi?
12:24I think so.
12:25Is he?
12:26Yes.
12:27Okay.
12:29He used the whole body of the squid.
12:32This is a fresh cut squid sashimi.
12:36This is delicious.
12:37I'll eat the eye.
12:39First, he eats the meat which has been cut into thin slices.
12:43I'll enjoy it.
12:45This must be delicious.
12:46It's so fresh.
12:50It's delicious.
12:53Fresh squid sashimi is the best.
12:56Next, he eats the gizzard.
12:58Everything is delicious.
13:02It sticks to my teeth.
13:06It sticks to my teeth.
13:13That tastes better.
13:14It's delicious.
13:17He eats the eye.
13:19The eye is a little...
13:21It's delicious.
13:22It's delicious inside.
13:25He eats it as it is.
13:26Okay.
13:28You only live once.
13:30That's right.
13:31I'll enjoy it.
13:36Is it delicious?
13:39No way.
13:40It's delicious.
13:41It's salty, isn't it?
13:43Yes, it's salty.
13:44It's salty.
13:45It's salty.
13:47But I don't eat the eyes of the squid.
13:50You don't eat the eyes of the squid?
13:51I've never eaten it.
13:52You don't eat the eyes of the squid?
13:55You don't eat the eyes of the squid?
13:56No.
13:57When you go to a gizakaya or a food store in Hakodate,
14:00I think they use fresh squid to make the eyes of the squid.
14:06Ikeda-san will try it, too.
14:08Me?
14:09Yes.
14:14Is it delicious?
14:15I don't know.
14:17In the end, only one squid was caught by Creshan.
14:21Is it so difficult?
14:23When he returned to the harbor, he vowed to take revenge on fishing.
14:28Hello.
14:32Welcome to Hakodate.
14:37Hello.
14:38Hello.
14:40All the fishing buddies welcomed him.
14:44Welcome to Hakodate.
14:47Everything looks delicious.
14:51There are fresh ingredients of Hakodate.
14:57Cheers.
15:04It's the best.
15:06It's the best.
15:07It's the best.
15:09This is Hakodate gourmet food that everyone brought.
15:17It looks delicious. Hakodate is strong.
15:28It's delicious no matter what you eat.
15:34Then...
15:35Amazing.
15:37Mr. Kuri.
15:38Yes.
15:39This is squid tokkuri.
15:42Is this made of squid?
15:45Yes.
15:46Squid.
15:48The squid is shaped like a tokkuri.
15:52This is Hakodate's signature dish, squid tokkuri.
15:57The flavor of the squid melts into the sake.
16:03Please try it.
16:04It's interesting.
16:07How is it?
16:09It's good.
16:12The umami of the squid and sake go well together.
16:17What's more?
16:19You can eat it after drinking sake.
16:21You can eat it as it is.
16:23Can you eat this?
16:25It's good.
16:27After drinking sake, you can eat it as a snack.
16:32It's good.
16:33Is it good?
16:34Squid tokkuri.
16:36Mr. Kuri.
16:39It's exactly for me.
16:43Because it contains squid.
16:46Here.
16:49Mr. Kuri.
16:50Yes.
16:51I'll give you a special menu of squid.
16:54That's...
16:55Let's go right away.
16:59What did he give me?
17:02Put your finger in here.
17:04Put your hand in your neck?
17:05Yes.
17:07He added green onions to the chopped squid.
17:13The point of this dish is...
17:16This is called goro.
17:17It's a part of cotton.
17:19I see.
17:21It's like a lump of umami.
17:25I thought he was going to throw it away.
17:29Goro is a part of squid.
17:32It's a part of umami that can be used for salt and liver soy sauce.
17:38I'm even more excited now.
17:42Add miso and mix it.
17:46Put a lot of squid on it.
17:49It's great.
17:50It's the best.
17:52Grill it with charcoal.
17:58The special goro-yaki of squid is ready.
18:03You can enjoy the taste of squid.
18:06It's perfect for squid lovers.
18:11Let's eat.
18:14It's hot.
18:19How is it?
18:21It's great.
18:23It's very creamy and rich.
18:26It looks great.
18:29It's so different.
18:31I'm surprised that squid can be so different.
18:38I'm surprised, too.
18:41Squid, squid, squid, squid, squid.
18:43What's this?
18:44One more.
18:46Squid, pop, pop.
18:49Squid, squid, squid, squid, squid.
18:51It looks delicious.
18:52Squid, squid, squid, squid, squid.
18:56When he came to Japan, his dream was to make squid rice with the squid he caught.
19:061, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
19:11Isaribi.
19:15What lights up Tsugaru Bay at night is Isaribi, a fishing boat to attract squids.
19:24The mysterious sight is one of Hakodate's specialties.
19:32During the day, squids were at the bottom of the sea.
19:37Bottom, yes.
19:38We were right down.
19:39It's cheap.
19:41At night, squids were actively eating.
19:45I see.
19:48Squids were living at the bottom of the sea during the day.
19:54At night, squids would come up to eat small fish.
20:01So, they set up a trap 50 meters deep in the water.
20:09See you later.
20:11Okay, good luck.
20:12All right, bye-bye.
20:13Bye-bye.
20:15Imagine the movement in the water.
20:18Imagine, imagine.
20:19Imagine, imagine.
20:21Then, after 3 minutes.
20:24Imagine, imagine.
20:26Here it comes.
20:27Wow.
20:28It's coming.
20:30Did you catch it?
20:31Yes, I did.
20:33Roll it, roll it, roll it.
20:35Nice, nice.
20:36He caught it quickly.
20:38Roll it, roll it, roll it.
20:39Roll it, roll it, roll it.
20:42The reel is hand-wound to aim for the shallow plate.
20:45The fisherman's arm is tested.
20:49Fight, fight.
20:56He caught it.
20:58He's really fast this time.
21:10Nice size.
21:1221.
21:13It's a good size.
21:14It's a great squid rice size.
21:17One more.
21:22After that.
21:25Here we go.
21:28Here it comes.
21:35Nice size.
21:36Did you catch it?
21:37Yes, I did.
21:38That's great.
21:40Instead of fishing during the day,
21:42the fisherman catches squid one after another.
21:47In an hour, five squid were caught.
21:51Big one.
21:52Big one.
21:53Big, big.
21:55This is squid rice size.
21:57This is squid rice size.
21:59It's too big.
22:00It's a little big.
22:03Then, Mr. Ikeda.
22:04Okay.
22:06Yeah.
22:07Okay.
22:08Okay.
22:09In a tupperware.
22:12Sauce?
22:13Soy sauce.
22:14Soy sauce?
22:15Okay.
22:18And?
22:20Yes.
22:21Directly?
22:22Wow.
22:24Just like that?
22:27Squid Okizuke.
22:29Okizuke.
22:30Okizuke.
22:32This is squid Okizuke, a fisherman's meal.
22:37By putting it on while it's alive,
22:39the squid absorbs the sauce
22:41and the taste seeps into the inside of the body.
22:47They marinate it for half a day
22:50and eat it after it's frozen.
22:52Once it's frozen.
22:57My arms are full.
23:01It's ready.
23:04Great.
23:09Shenlong came through for me again.
23:11Shenlong.
23:12Yeah.
23:19Finally, the squid meal they've been waiting for.
23:25Here you go.
23:27Good morning.
23:28Good morning.
23:29Welcome.
23:30Welcome.
23:31Welcome.
23:33Mr. Sekikawa met them at the welcoming party.
23:37Eating squid meal.
23:38It's a passion, isn't it?
23:40Yes.
23:41Let's make squid meal together.
23:47I'm really looking forward to it.
23:51They want to learn how to make squid meal at home.
23:54For Creshan.
23:55I'll make it at home.
23:57Mr. Sekikawa will help them.
24:01It's a surprise.
24:07Squid.
24:08Squid.
24:09You caught a lot.
24:11Please make a big squid meal with this.
24:14Squid meal.
24:15Let's do our best together.
24:17I'll do my best.
24:19The squid meal with mom's taste that is well-known in the Sekikawa family.
24:24First of all.
24:25There are many ways to put it in.
24:28Combine three kinds of soup stock with bonito, kelp, and grilled fish.
24:33A little more.
24:35Okay.
24:36In order to make it a mild taste with no bitter taste,
24:39add a lot of noodle soup instead of soy sauce.
24:45Squid meal has a completely different recipe depending on the person who learns it.
24:50It's very deep and interesting.
24:53When I was a child, I inherited the taste that my mother and grandmother made.
25:02By soaking the rice in the soup stock at room temperature before putting it on the fire,
25:07the rice absorbs the taste slowly and the rice is cooked well.
25:15After that, if you simmer it slowly over medium heat,
25:22the mom's taste that is well-known in the Sekikawa family.
25:28Squid meal is completed.
25:31The way to make it is completely different.
25:34Thank you for waiting.
25:37Thank you for waiting.
25:41Let's eat.
25:42Let's eat.
25:44Let's eat.
25:53Is it good?
25:54It's good.
25:58It's the best.
26:00I'm glad.
26:06The squid meal she made with the squid she caught herself is special.
26:12Memories of hard work come back.
26:16And squid meal for everyone who took care of her.
26:24It's the best.
26:25It's the best.
26:26It's the best.
26:27It's good.
26:28You did your best.
26:29You did your best.
26:32I can buy a kitchen with this.
26:37It's good.
26:38It's good.
26:40I ate it for the first time.
26:41That's right.
26:43The squid meal she made herself is even better.
26:48If I make it again, let's have a game.
26:51I like it.
26:52I like it.
26:54In addition,
26:56The squid meal she cooked on the boat yesterday.
27:03What's inside?
27:08It looks delicious.
27:16Is it good?
27:17It's good.
27:20It's good.
27:22It has a deep taste.
27:27I think it goes well with alcohol.
27:30I think it's good.
27:32You can enjoy various flavors, so squid is the best food.
27:36Squid is the best.
27:38If I had a few years ago, I wouldn't have made squid meal.
27:44Don't worry about it.
27:47Squid meal is the best.
27:49It's the best.
27:55And.
27:58Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye.
28:07Everyone.
28:09Thank you for the wonderful adventure.
28:15When I decided to make squid meal with the squid I caught myself,
28:22At first, I thought it was a dream come true.
28:28Every time I go out to sea from now on,
28:32I remember what Mr. Shimura told me.
28:37He entrusted me with three important recipes.
28:41I'm very grateful for that.
28:44I would love to do that. Thank you.
28:48I'm going to leave South Africa.
28:53But I'm waiting for you.
28:57Cooking is about heart.
28:59Cooking with love.
29:03I would be very happy if you could eat it.
29:10I have something to give you before I say goodbye.
29:16Mr. Kimura.
29:20South African wine.
29:24It's a vineyard near the sea and mountains like Hakodate.
29:29I think it goes well with Hakodate's food.
29:33I hope you enjoy this. Thank you.
29:39Mr. Sekikawa also got a popular drink in South Africa.
29:45I'm surprised.
29:47I'm happy.
29:48I'm very happy.
29:50We have it, too.
29:51We have it, too.
29:54I have to bring this home.
29:59Oh, yes.
30:01Even if you go back to South Africa, you can catch squids.
30:05It's a ritual for catching squids.
30:08Mr. Sekikawa gave me this.
30:13Kazunoko Matsumaezuke.
30:17Matsumaezuke with squids.
30:22Every time I eat or use this, I remember you.
30:29Mr. Kimura and Mr. Sekikawa, thank you very much.
