01:26The best 20 will be announced now!
01:33From Tsukuba City to the north of Kendo 41, we came to Sakuragawa City, a city dedicated to Tsukuba-san.
01:44Wow, look at the rice fields!
01:46Sakuragawa City may not come to your attention, but in 2005, Iwase-machi, Yamato-mura, and Makabe-machi were combined to form a new city.
02:00One of them, Makabe, is home to a small number of important traditional buildings in the Kanto region.
02:08The building, which is a national heritage site, is over 100 years old.
02:17Makabe's historical cityscape was built by Makabe-shi, who ruled this land from the end of the Heian period to the end of the Sengoku period.
02:31If you look at the map of the Edo period, you can see that most of the streets are still the same.
02:40No change.
02:4110. The streets of the Edo period
02:44Wonderful.
02:45In Makabe-machi, there is a intersection called Kamino-tsuji, where two streets intersect.
02:54It is unique to the Joka-machi, which allows the enemy to invade when it attacks.
03:01And the street width has not changed much since the Edo period.
03:08This city has a long history. It is worth a walk.
03:259. Sakuragawa
03:31Sakuragawa was designated as an urban area three years ago.
03:37However, there are also families who like this city and move here.
03:43One of them is the Nakajima family, a professional musician who used to live in Tokyo.
03:51Four years ago, he bought a large house all over the land.
03:57I connected 8DK here, so it became 7LDK.
04:04The price was also good, so it was Sakuragawa price.
04:10In addition, Sakuragawa City currently provides up to 2 million yen for the acquisition of a house for immigrants.
04:19Child care support is also provided.
04:2410. Yuttari Sakuragawa Life
04:31They live in this log house where the garden landscape spreads.
04:38This is the family of Mr. Tachibana, who moved from Utsunomiya eight years ago.
04:46It's 7 o'clock in the morning.
04:49Koharu and Ayane came out of the house cheerfully.
04:55What's ahead?
04:58Horse?
05:00The pet of Mr. Tachibana is the former racing horse Sarabred, Dia.
05:06It's a miniature horse, Lady.
05:10They live in a log house and move to Sakuragawa to find an environment where they can live with horses.
05:18They enjoy living in the countryside with horses.
05:25Ayane always takes a walk on Lady.
05:33She gets along well with Mr. Ueno, a neighbor.
05:36It's hot.
05:39Koharu often plays with me.
05:42She plays with me and drinks tea.
05:45She says, thank you for coming.
05:48I don't know if the people in the village will accept me.
05:52I'm very grateful and happy that they welcome me warmly.
05:57Would you like to take a break there?
06:01They take a short break in Mr. Ueno's garden.
06:07And...
06:11Mr. Ueno gave us a lot of vegetables he grew.
06:21It's a warm Sakuragawa life.
06:25I heard that there is a popular shop that has been around for about 70 years in Yamato district.
06:31When I went there,
06:33it was very quiet.
06:36And...
06:38There were only a few snacks in the shop.
06:42I thought so, but there were a lot of customers.
06:47The 18th Aoki Shoten
06:51The old-fashioned soy sauce ramen with chicken char siu
06:55is a taste of the heart of Sakuragawa.
06:59It's delicious, so I can't help but eat it.
07:02You've been eating it since you were in elementary school.
07:07It was cute.
07:14It's a little embarrassing.
07:17And there is a popular item that can be taken out.
07:23It's a big box wrapped in newspaper.
07:29When you open the newspaper and open the lid,
07:33it's full of meat.
07:35I thought so, but it was actually this.
07:39The contents were four servings of soy sauce yakisoba.
07:43The weight is 1.7 kg.
07:47The pork is grilled on the iron plate.
07:51The chewy noodles with a strong taste are the best.
07:57In Makabe district,
07:59there are many buildings that are registered cultural property of the country.
08:07This is one of them, which was once built as a royal palace.
08:11The 17th Iseya Ryokan
08:16Makabe is the only place where you can stay at a registered cultural property.
08:21And in this season,
08:23there are gorgeous seven-story Hinamatsuri in the old town.
08:30In fact, in Makabe,
08:32Hinamatsuri is held by raising the town until March 3rd.
08:37This is the 21st time this year.
08:40Why did she start Hinamatsuri?
08:45First of all, I wanted to welcome people who came to the countryside in winter.
08:51After 20 years,
08:53some people say,
08:55I'm back,
08:57and I'm doing well this year, too.
09:00In a quiet town,
09:03people come to such a place.
09:05I'm so happy.
09:07I want to say thank you to the land.
09:13During the Hinamatsuri,
09:15special lunch is served in Iseya.
09:19It warms you up with Kyoto cuisine.
09:25Makabe in the Edo period
09:27became a distribution base for cotton.
09:30It flourished as a town in the fall
09:33of the Edo period.
09:36We interviewed people in Makabe.
09:39Let's have some tea when it's over.
09:41Yes.
09:42Let's have some tea when it's over.

10:18No, I'm fine.
10:20The mother of the photographer,
10:22who is not the interviewer,
10:24invites her to have some tea.
10:26Why does she treat him so well?
10:30I've been doing this for a long time.
10:32Every year,
10:34I serve tea to people.
10:36So, it's not a big deal.
10:37It's not a big deal.
10:39It's not a big deal.
10:40I'm happy.
10:41People come to me
10:44when I'm not on the train.

11:24They want us to be happy.
11:26Manabu is one of them.

12:26I also played the role of Ibaraki Taishi.
12:29How about Sakuragawa?
12:31Sakuragawa has a very nice shrine.
12:35It's in the direction of the city.
12:38Just by driving past,
12:40you can take a little time slip.
12:44If you go to Iwate,
12:45there is a place called Isobe called Yamazakura.
12:48This is also a historical place.
12:50Is that so?
12:51It's famous since the Eian period.
12:53In the Muromachi period,
12:55there is a place called Sakuragawa on the Ono.
12:59The stage is also there.

13:35There is only one main dish.
13:39That is...
13:41Ibaraki prefecture's black-haired wagyu thigh.

13:48It is made by hand-kneading.
13:51Wagyu 100% Tawara hamburger.
13:55It's rare, so they bring it to the customer
13:59and grill it again in front of them.
14:05They wrap the iron plate with a paper napkin
14:08and steam it.
14:10It's TENGIN style.
14:12When it's grilled to your liking,
14:14the staff will tell you.
14:17There are seven kinds of sauces.
14:23If it's French Guerlain's salt,
14:25you can taste the umami of the meat.

15:29French?
15:32Actually, Mr. Abe is a Japanese born and raised in Paris.
15:38Until I was 20, I couldn't speak Japanese at all.
15:42I haven't touched Japanese culture at all.
15:46This is what it looks like.
15:50I came to Japan, touched Japanese culture,
15:53and I want to get Japanese things.
15:59Mr. Abe makes a Uchihamono made of steel.
16:03Moreover, he uses only the best steel,
16:06No. 1 Shirogami and Aogami Super.
16:11Steel is difficult to process and requires advanced technology,
16:16but Mr. Abe has been training in Japan for 15 years.
16:20Three years ago, he had his own workshop.
16:26Now, you can make a reservation from the website of the workshop
16:29and wait a year from the order.
16:33The key sharpness is
16:35this sharpness.
16:38The blade is sharp and the cross section is beautiful.
16:43Even the soft tomatoes are cut so thinly.
16:47It's amazing.
16:48It's amazing. I want it.
16:50The master craftsman who grew up in France
16:52is polishing Japanese technology in Sakuragawa.
16:59He is good at it.
17:01This is a gift from the local farmers in Sakuragawa.
17:04What is this?
17:07When I got close to it, it looked like a sword.
17:11I was a little worried about it.
17:13It's very beautiful.
17:14I made a peach caprese the other day.
17:16He is good at it.
17:18Peach caprese.
17:20The shape of the peach is broken with the knife I have at home.
17:23If I use this knife, I think I can cut the soft peach beautifully.
17:27That's right.
17:28What is a peach caprese?
17:31This is a tomato.
17:33That is a peach.
17:34This is cheese.
17:35This is burrata cheese.
17:36This is ham.
17:38This is balsamic sauce.

19:12However, super-sized fruit tomatoes are super-sized
19:16even if they are large in size and have an average sugar content of more than 9%.
19:21Average sugar content of more than 9% is selected by a machine
19:25with a self-developed light sensor such as strawberries and watermelons.
19:31However, the price is reasonable compared to general fruit tomatoes.

22:44I saw a huge flame from the kitchen.
22:47It's burning.
22:50He doesn't seem to be flambéed.
22:53Why is the flame so strong?
22:57I always pursue a savory taste.
23:01He's particular about it.
23:03It's about the heat.
23:07He's very bold.
23:08It's a stamina-roasted meat that's about to burn.
