00:00Next, the person we invited to Japan is...
00:06Hi, Jessica-san!
00:10Welcome to Japan!
00:12I'm so excited to be here!
00:15Welcome!
00:16Finally, her dream has come true!
00:18I'm so excited!
00:21I still can't believe that I can come to Japan!
00:24Actually...
00:26Jessica-san is a catering chef.
00:31Actually, her life has changed a lot since she came to Japan.
00:39We met her in the middle of the mountains,
00:432 hours by car from Seattle, USA.
00:50Hello.
00:53This is less than a third of the city of Seattle.
01:01Jessica-san loves to be surrounded by nature.
01:06In her kitchen, there are many Japanese kitchen knives.
01:13What does she love so much?
01:18Inari sushi is my favorite.
01:22Inari sushi?
01:23Yes!
01:25Inari sushi.
01:29It's a combination of sweet and salty deep-fried tofu and vinegar rice.
01:37In recent years, there are more and more inari sushi restaurants.
01:41It's a trend.
01:43It's so stylish!
01:46Inari sushi is full of seasonal ingredients.
01:54Inari sushi is wrapped in colorful wrapping paper and shaped like candy.
02:00I didn't know there was such a thing.
02:02Inari sushi is 8,000 km away from Japan.
02:07Why do people eat inari sushi?
02:11Actually, it's a taste of memories with my grandmother.
02:16Her grandmother passed away 18 years ago.
02:20In fact, she was a Japanese woman who married an American soldier.
02:26Her first grandchild was Jessica-san.
02:32Inari sushi was made by her grandmother.
02:37I see.
02:40After my grandmother passed away,
02:43I wanted to pursue the taste of inari sushi.
02:48Now, as a catering chef,
02:52she offers inari sushi at parties and parties.
02:57What?
02:59I'll ask her to make it right away.
03:04Sometimes I make it with only shiitake and kelp.
03:10When I add onions, it tastes sweet.
03:15This is a secret recipe inherited from my grandmother.
03:21I see.
03:23From now on, I'll simmer it slowly.
03:33After 6 hours, the soup stock is ready.
03:42It's delicious.
03:46What is deep-fried tofu?
03:53This makes it easier to break and put rice in it.
03:57I see.
04:01If you don't drain the oil, the soup stock won't soak in.
04:06Not only the taste, but also the technique to make it delicious.
04:10Of course, it's made by my grandmother.
04:13She makes it carefully.
04:16Boil the deep-fried tofu in the soup stock.
04:22Hold the sushi rice.
04:28Put the sushi rice in the soup stock.
04:34It looks delicious.
04:35It took about 10 hours to make.
04:39This is the inari sushi made by my grandmother.
04:42It looks delicious.
04:46Invite your parents and friends to a party.
04:52How does it taste?
04:56This is very delicious.
04:59This is very delicious.
05:01Please try this.
05:04Thank you very much.
05:09This is delicious.
05:11This tastes like my grandmother's.
05:13This tastes like my grandmother's inari sushi.
05:17In the future, I will tell you the Japanese identity.
05:23Hello, how are you?
05:25Hello, Robert.
05:27Nice to meet you.
05:31I congratulate you.
05:33Can you read this?
05:35Yes!
05:38Can you edit this?
05:44I'm very excited.
05:47Come here.
05:49Guess what?
05:50I'm going to Japan.
05:53Congratulations.
05:58She was very proud of her.
06:00Do you want me to go in your place?
06:02That's a good idea.
06:08In this way.
06:11Hello.
06:13Hello.
06:16She went to Japan, her grandmother's hometown.
06:22There is a delicious inari sushi that keeps the traditional taste.
06:27This is very delicious.
06:29I want to eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
06:35She has been in Japan for 5 years.
06:37Her life has changed a lot.
06:42Actually, I want to get married.
06:46What?
06:50She went to SUGAMO in Tokyo.
06:54Inari sushi is a famous dish in Japan.
07:00It was formed in Edo.
07:02This is a famous sushi restaurant in Ukiyo-e City.
07:06The name of this restaurant is SHINODA SUSHI.
07:09This restaurant was founded in 1902.
07:12The name of this restaurant is SHINODA SUSHI.
07:15This restaurant is a famous restaurant in Edo.
07:19Such a Shinoda Sushi is now receiving the taste of the Shinisei, which is the Yachiho Sushi of the 53rd year of operation.
07:31Wow!
07:32The traditional Inari Sushi sells more than 3,000 pieces a day.
07:38Wow!
07:42Wow!
07:43It looks delicious!
07:45When Jessica's enthusiasm was conveyed, she was heartily accepted.
07:55I'm nervous.
07:56Hello.
07:58Nice to meet you. I'm Jessica.
08:00Nice to meet you.
08:02Hello.
08:03Hello.
08:04Nice to meet you.
08:08My name is Morimoto of this shop.
08:12I can't speak English well, and my Japanese is not very good.
08:17Nice to meet you.
08:20I can't speak Japanese either, so please don't mind me.
08:25I'm Morimoto.
08:26Nice to meet you.
08:27I'm the mother of Takagi.
08:29Nice to meet you.
08:31Nice to meet you.
08:32The shop is run by four people.
08:36I'm Takeshi Takada.
08:38Nice to meet you.
08:39First of all, they will eat Inari Sushi.
08:45Thank you for waiting.
08:51It's so beautiful.
08:52It's very beautiful.
08:53Thank you very much.
08:56This is the first time to eat real Japanese Inari Sushi.
09:10It's delicious.
09:12I can't believe it's so delicious.
09:14I want to eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
09:20Thank you very much.
09:23They will learn how to make a secret recipe that sells 3,000 pieces a day.
09:34American Jessica loves Inari Sushi.
09:38They will learn how to make a secret recipe that sells 3,000 pieces a day.
09:44They will learn how to make a secret recipe that sells 3,000 pieces a day.
09:53First of all, they will drain the oil.
10:00I've never seen anyone drain the oil by soaking it in hot water.
10:04Inari Sushi doesn't sink to the bottom of the pan.
10:06Inari Sushi sinks to the bottom of the pan after the oil is absorbed.
10:13By sinking the Inari Sushi to the bottom of the pan with plenty of hot water, the oil will drain well and the taste will be easily absorbed.
10:21I've only known how to pour hot water on Inari Sushi.
10:27I'll learn how to pour hot water on Inari Sushi.
10:32After draining the oil well, season the Inari Sushi.
10:38They use soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and other general seasonings.
10:45However, the secret ingredient is the secret ingredient that determines the taste.
10:52And...
11:02It's delicious.
11:04It's not too sweet, it's not too sticky, and it tastes like it's wrapping around your tongue.
11:12That's a good expression.
11:13You expressed it well.
11:17After simmering for 30 minutes with the secret sauce, let it cool at room temperature for about half a day.
11:23Let the taste blend in slowly.
11:26Next, let's make rice.
11:28Oh, rice.
11:29This is also a specialty of this restaurant.
11:33The rice has elasticity and is characterized by a moderate sweetness.
11:37This is a blend of Yamagata's Haenuki and Ishikawa's Koshihikari, which is excellent in strong umami.
11:47This is a blend of Yamagata's Haenuki and Ishikawa's Koshihikari, which is excellent in strong umami.
11:57When it's cooked, it's a battle against time.
12:04I've never seen you cut rice this fast.
12:08It takes about a minute to cook.
12:11That's the game.
12:13If you take too long, the rice will stick together and become a ball, and it will be sticky.
12:21Next, let's wrap it up.
12:27Actually, there's a way to decide the taste here, too.
12:31Put the sauce on the rice.
12:35Oh.
12:40By soaking the sauce of sweet fried tofu in the rice, the rice will be easy to loosen and the taste will be uniform.
12:50I see.
12:53And...
12:55Put the rice in here.
12:59And turn it around.
13:01You don't have to do that.
13:04You don't have to hold it.
13:07The point is not to hold the rice too tightly.
13:12By doing this, the rice will not be crushed and the texture will be loosened in your mouth.
13:17I see.
13:19In the U.S., Jessica put the rice in the deep-fried tofu after holding it.
13:24Jessica, that's good.
13:26It's too full.
13:28Let's give it a try.
13:35She has a habit of holding the rice.
13:40I see.
13:45Don't hold it.
13:48On the other hand, Shisako...
13:50Put it in like this.
13:52Put it in like this.
13:54It's easy to loosen the rice.
13:56Just put it in like this.
13:58And turn it around.
14:03She is not used to the amount of rice.
14:07She is holding the rice.
14:11Can I practice more?
14:15After the restaurant was closed, she practiced more.
14:20Shisako is doing her best.
14:22She is kind.
14:24When she was a child, she was taught by a Japanese old lady, Jessica.
14:29Show it to the camera.
14:31Like this?
14:32Yes.
14:34She remembers her childhood and continues to wrap the rice.
14:39It's been an hour.
14:41I'm getting used to the amount of rice.
14:45How is it?
14:46It's good.
14:49It's okay.
14:50It's okay.
14:51It's better than before.
14:54It's better than before.
14:56It's better.
14:59Compared to what she made at first,
15:02it's a beautiful rice roll.
15:05I want to eat it.
15:07After being taught by Shisako,
15:09I remembered my grandmother.
15:14I will never forget this experience.
15:19I won't forget it.
15:22Inari sushi of Yachiho Sushi is served in the studio.
15:29It's really good.
15:32It's good.
15:33The sweet and spicy taste of the fried fish is great.
15:38The rice is fluffy.
15:40I can eat as many as I want.
15:43I don't know if I'm saying this,
15:45but the fried fish is crispy.
15:47I know.
15:50And...
15:55I want to write a letter to Jessica.
16:03You must have been looking forward to this visit.
16:08We were looking forward to meeting you.
16:14The time we spent together was too short.
16:17We regret that we couldn't tell you enough.
16:21Don't forget to keep making delicious inari sushi.
16:26Yachiho Sushi.
16:28Thank you so much.
16:34Thank you so much.
16:37I also wrote something for you.
16:41It says,
16:42To my friends at Yachiho Sushi,
16:46I feel so honored that you trusted me with your secrets to making inari sushi.
16:50Shisako-san, you are so kind and welcoming.
16:53You have a very sweet energy,
16:55and your smile reminds me of my grandma.
16:59This experience has been one of the most special times in all of my life.
17:03My door is always open to you,
17:05and so is my heart.
17:07With gratitude and love, Jessica.
17:16Wait a minute.
17:21It's not a goodbye greeting.
17:23It's more like, see you again.
17:25Really?
17:26See you again.
17:28It's more like, see you again.
17:30Hugs.
17:35Good luck.
17:37And come see me.
17:40You are a wonderful lady.
17:42You are very beautiful.
17:43You are a wonderful lady.
17:44You are marvelous.
17:47See you again, Jessica.
17:51See you again.
17:52Good luck.
17:57Five years have passed since then.
18:01How can I put this on?
18:03Jessica sends a video letter to Yachiho Sushi.
18:09It's been a while.
18:10Hello.
18:11Hello.
18:12Thank you for everything.
18:15You look great.
18:16What has changed since the broadcast?
18:19Thanks to you,
18:21customers from all over the country have come to see us.
18:26I'm so happy.
18:28The number of visitors has increased tenfold since the broadcast.
18:34That's amazing.
18:36And
18:38when Jessica visited us before,
18:43we were in Sugamo.
18:46We used to live here in Ichigaya.
18:52He moved to Ichigaya four years ago
18:55because of the aging of the building.
18:59He came to this restaurant as soon as he moved in.
19:03What?
19:05He walked this way.
19:06And his profile was like...
19:07What?
19:10I thought it was a lie.
19:13What?
19:19We have an important announcement from Takasugi.
19:22Shogi x Lawyer.
19:23Exciting legal drama.
19:24The Dragon of the Court.
19:26I, Tatsumi, the main character,
19:28who plays Mr. Mune,
19:30will play the role of the chief of the Shogi Agency.
19:32I will be involved in various cases.
19:34It will be broadcast every Friday from 9 p.m.
19:36Please watch it.
19:39Yachiho Sushi, a famous restaurant in Inarizushi.
19:42He came to this restaurant as soon as he moved in.
19:46He walked this way.
19:48And his profile was like...
19:51What?
19:53He looks like Kaori Manabe.
19:56If he wasn't Kaori Manabe,
19:58I thought he was a very high-level woman.
20:01I looked at him.
20:03And he said he was Kaori Manabe of the cheering squad.
20:08I thought it was a lie.
20:11After the broadcast,
20:12Mr. Manabe came to buy Inarizushi.
20:16I took a picture with him.
20:17I'm so happy.
20:19I couldn't sleep that night.
20:22Thank you so much.
20:25His wife will be angry.
20:29Mr. Manabe also bought Inarizushi.
20:33I want to eat it again.
20:36In addition to the refreshing Yuzu Inari, which is the second most popular dish,
20:41he will take on a new challenge.
20:45Inarizushi with green rice.
20:49What is this?
20:51It's a basil Inarizushi.
20:56This is the first Western-style Inarizushi in Yachiyo Sushi.
21:03I want to eat it.
21:09He said it goes well with wine.
21:14It's very popular.
21:16It looks good.
21:17Inarizushi with roasted pepper.
21:23I want to eat it.
21:24Inarizushi with lemon.
21:27He is working hard to make a new dish.
21:33There is someone behind you.
21:36She is my daughter.
21:39Your daughter?
21:41Ami.
21:42On this day, Ami, who usually works at a company, came to the store to help.
21:49I'm doing chores.
21:52Is it the third generation?
21:54Well, yes.
21:57It's not easy.
22:00But you're doing a good job.
22:02Yes.
22:04Ami will watch the video letter with him.
22:14Yachiyo Sushi, it's been a long time. I'm Jessica.
22:18It's Jessica.
22:21Takayuki, Shisako, Tsugumi, Takeshi.
22:26Every time I make Inarizushi, I remember you.
22:34My life has changed dramatically in the past five years.
22:39One of them is here.
22:45This is my new house.
22:48It's bigger.
22:50They moved to a five-minute drive from their old house.
22:54This is their favorite place.
22:59I bought this forest behind me.
23:03What's going on?
23:06What's going on?
23:09It's 30,000 square meters.
23:11This huge forest, which is two times the size of Tokyo Dome, has become a garden.
23:18Jessica has been making Inarizushi since she came back to Japan.
23:29What I need to make a sauce is a secret recipe that I learned from Takayuki.
23:39I always put it under my pillow.
23:43As promised, I don't tell anyone the secret of the recipe.
23:49She's really smart.
24:02She's really used to it.
24:05Takayuki's speed is not enough yet.
24:11I think I've grown up.
24:14That's great.
24:16She's making Inarizushi with fried tofu.
24:20She's making Inarizushi.
24:22She's making Inarizushi with fried tofu.
24:26She's making Inarizushi with fried tofu.
24:30She's good.
24:32She's really good.
24:36Jessica's Inarizushi is full of memories with Yachiho Sushi.
24:44I'm really impressed that she's making Inarizushi in earnest.
24:50I'm surprised that she's making Inarizushi so hard.
24:56She continues to improve her skills using her experience in Japan.
25:02On top of that,
25:07Actually, I had an offer after I came back to Japan.
25:11So, I started Inarizushi class.
25:22After coming back to Japan, she held Inarizushi classes in Seattle and San Francisco.
25:29That's great.
25:32There are many people who don't know Inarizushi.
25:36I'm glad that there are many people who actually make Inarizushi and like it.
25:46On top of that,
25:48She also uses this to make Inarizushi.
25:53She's making Inarizushi in the middle of the night.
25:55She simmered Inarizushi and made it into chatsune.
26:02The sweet taste of chatsune goes well with the rich taste of Inarizushi.
26:13Then,
26:21Who is this person?
26:27Actually, I'm married.
26:33I'm glad. Congratulations.
26:38I already had a wedding ceremony.
26:40Did you do it?
26:44She got married to Mr. Brea in July last year.
26:47That's great.
26:50This new house was also purchased for the two of them.
26:56What?
27:04They went to the same high school.
27:07That's great.
27:15They dated once and broke up.
27:18They haven't seen each other for more than 50 years.
27:24I found a post on SNS that Jessica was teaching Inarizushi in the town where I live.
27:35I couldn't stay there, so I messaged her to meet her.
27:43Then he approached me every week.
27:48I'm so happy.
27:50I'm embarrassed.
27:52I'm not wrong, am I?
27:54That's great.
27:55That's why Inarizushi changed my life.
28:00Inarikon.
28:01Inarikon.
28:02I'm really happy.
28:03I met her in a good way.
28:12I met her in a good way.
28:15I met her in a good way.
28:17What?
28:18What is the reason?
28:22Inarikon
28:25It's so good.
28:34What did you think the first time that you actually had her Inari?
28:39I was scared.
28:42What?
28:44I was scared because she didn't look like food.
28:50But I fell in love with her after eating her.
28:57I can't stop my passion for Inarizushi.
29:02I want to deliver the charm of Inarizushi to more people.
29:08I'm going to Japan for a honeymoon next year.
29:14I'm looking forward to seeing you all.
29:17Bye, everybody.
29:19It's so great to see you.
29:20I hope to see you again soon.
29:22Thank you very much.
29:29I want to show my gratitude to this program and Jessica.
29:37I have a lot to teach her.
29:41I want to do my best with Jessica.
29:45When they invited Jessica to Japan,
29:50they showed the charm of Inarizushi to the United States.
29:53That's how they got the happiness of life.
