00:00Today's Gatchy Monday is all about souvenirs!
00:07Tourism is booming in Japan right now.
00:12There are a lot of tourists all over the country.
00:16Tourism is one of the most important businesses in Japan.
00:21Here are some souvenirs for you!
00:24Gourmet meals are a must-have item on a trip.
00:29And the souvenir business is also growing.
00:36This is getting interesting!
00:40The souvenir zone at Tokyo Station.
00:44What is this surprising product that attracts so many people?
00:49It's really profitable.
00:53For some reason, it sold over a million copies.
00:56The surprising souvenir of Niigata was that oil-covered thing.
01:01There's nothing at all.
01:03This time, it's 30 minutes of profitable information that makes you want to take it home.
01:12Good morning.
01:13Today is a profitable souvenir.
01:16Mr. Kato, you don't seem to buy souvenirs.
01:20I don't think so.
01:23I'm the type of person who really buys souvenirs.
01:26Especially Chitose Airport and Fukuoka Airport.
01:29I need two of them for an hour.
01:33I don't have enough time.
01:34It's a very profitable business.
01:36Let's take a look.
01:38Good morning.
01:40Mr. Maruyama.
01:42Mr. Sakai.
01:56What is it?
01:57It's 1000 yen.
01:581000 yen?
01:59That's a lot of money.
02:04I see.
02:09That's amazing.
02:11It's a souvenir for us, right?
02:13Yes.
02:14Can I have it first?
02:15This is for me?
02:18Thank you very much.
02:21Why did you bring souvenirs to your co-stars when you first appeared on the show?
02:27This is about my ancestors.
02:29It's going to take a long time.
02:31My ancestors have been doing it for a long time.
02:33My father and mother have been doing it for a long time.
02:35When I was a child, I ate a lot of sweets.
02:38At that time, everyone had a beautiful heart.
02:41But as I grew up, my heart was distorted.
02:44So I want to return to the heart of a child with that meaning.
02:49Everyone is dissing you.
02:53Souvenirs are a big part of Japanese culture.
02:57It's a culture centered around Asia.
02:59When Japanese people go on a trip, they want to go home to their family and friends.
03:05They buy souvenirs as long as they have a sense of camaraderie.
03:10I see.
03:11This is amazing.
03:12First of all, the local souvenir business is a fascinating souvenir zone.
03:19I came to TOKYO STATION.
03:22There is a souvenir shop right at the entrance of YAYASUGUCHI.
03:26There are a lot of souvenir shops.
03:30TOKYO STATION No. 1.
03:32There are a lot of souvenir shops in TOKYO STATION.
03:36There are a lot of people in TOKYO STATION every day.
03:42Let's go there.
03:46This is the president of TOKYO STATION, UDAGAWA.
03:49The president of TOKYO STATION, UDAGAWA, appeared.
03:56This is amazing.
03:58This is very profitable.
04:02This is perfect.
04:03What is the best thing about TOKYO STATION?
04:06From the TOKYO GIFT PALETTE where you can buy souvenirs in TOKYO.
04:11From Hokkaido to Kagoshima, you can enjoy Japanese gourmet street food.
04:17Ramen Street with famous ramen in TOKYO.
04:21Tokyo Character Street with popular characters in Japan.
04:30The number of visitors is 22 million a year.
04:36The sales volume is 400 million yen a year.
04:42There are a lot of people.
04:44This is a very popular souvenir shop in TOKYO STATION.
04:52The president of TOKYO STATION, UDAGAWA, said that this area was difficult to do business.
04:59What is difficult?
05:01My office is under the TOKAIDO Shinkansen platform.
05:08It's a very narrow office.
05:13The TOKYO GIFT PALETTE can only be seen in JR TOKAI's office.
05:20In TOKYO STATION, you can only see this area under the TOKAIDO Shinkansen platform.
05:30JR TOKAI is on the white tile over there.
05:34JR East is on the black tile over there.
05:43So I try to go out.
05:48No, no, no.
05:50I don't think I can get in today.
05:52It's a narrow office.
05:55The problem is not only that it is difficult to line up shops.
05:59The ticket office is here.
06:01The exit of the station is here.
06:04There are many places where people are waiting.
06:07I'm trying to stop people.
06:22Customers who come out of the ticket office.
06:24Customers who go to the ticket office from outside.
06:28Customers who come to this narrow office.
06:31Customers who stay here.
06:34President Uraiwa came up with a strategy to make a street.
06:41At first, there were 7 shops for characters.
06:46I increased it to a large extent.
06:48I made a zone for characters.
06:51It's a narrow place because it's under the TOKAIDO Shinkansen platform.
06:55I named it STREET to make it easier to understand.
07:03In the past, there were many kinds of shops.
07:11I named it STREET to make it easier to understand.
07:24It's easy to understand.
07:26This strategy is successful.
07:30Customers who pass through the first street.
07:36Customers who enter the first street of TOKYO STATION.
07:43President Uraiwa's strategy.
07:47A long line at 5 o'clock in the evening.
07:51Before 5 o'clock in the evening.
07:53He started making a line in front of the shop.
07:59A long line in front of the shop.
08:04President Uraiwa, what does this mean?
08:07As a Japanese person, I thought there was something.
08:13I was persuaded.
08:15At 5 o'clock in the evening at TOKYO STATION.
08:19Various shops sell special products at 5 o'clock.
08:27Customers make a long line.
08:32Customers who see it say,
08:35It looks delicious.
08:37Customers who see it say,
08:39It smells good.
08:42It's like this.
08:45The price of the shop is 1 million yen.
08:48This is a popular spot in Japan.
08:53A long line at TOKYO STATION.
08:58It's amazing.
09:00It's well thought out.
09:02I thought there was a long line at 5 o'clock in the evening.
09:06The result is 1 million yen.
09:11This is amazing.
09:13It's about 300,000 yen at HANJO.
09:16500,000 yen is sold at convenience stores.
09:19It's twice as much.
09:21When did you start doing this?
09:24I started doing it about 20 years ago.
09:28Is there anything you imitate?
09:30I think there is.
09:32Because it's profitable.
09:34You're not humble at all.
09:36I'm sorry.
09:38The souvenir business continues.
09:41In the old days, sweets evolved so much.
09:45Next is a company called ABEKO SEIKA in Gojiya City, Niigata Prefecture.
09:53Are you making money?
09:58What is HIRONOSU making?
10:01It's a company that makes Beika.
10:04The signboard product is persimmon seeds.
10:07ABEKO SEIKA is making persimmon seeds.
10:13HIRONOSU makes persimmon seeds.
10:16The annual sales of persimmon seeds are 9 billion yen.
10:21But persimmon seeds are not souvenirs.
10:25What is the souvenir business?
10:28It's oiled persimmon seeds.
10:31Oiled persimmon seeds?
10:34Persimmon seeds are used in chili oil.
10:41The price is 972 yen.
10:44Is this a souvenir?
10:47This is a souvenir shop at JR Niigata Station and Niigata Airport.
10:52There are many souvenir shops in Niigata Prefecture.
10:57I live in Sapporo.
10:59When I go to Niigata, I buy souvenirs.
11:01My friend gave me a souvenir of Niigata.
11:04It was delicious.
11:06It's popular with tourists.
11:09What is the price of this souvenir?
11:11This is 1 million yen.
11:13This is very popular.
11:15This is 1 million yen.
11:18This is 9 billion yen.
11:21This is a new souvenir of Niigata.
11:25What is so popular?
11:29There are a lot of persimmon seeds in the bottle.
11:34You can mix it with chili oil and eat it.
11:38You can put it on rice and eat it.
11:43This is delicious.
11:45This is chili oil.
11:47This is chili oil.
11:50Why did you make a souvenir of persimmon seeds?
11:59At that time, the production of persimmon seeds was declining.
12:03I wanted to increase the opportunity to use persimmon seeds.
12:08I wanted to put persimmon seeds on rice.
12:1310 years ago, the sales of persimmon seeds were declining.
12:18Mr. Hirono wanted to revive the sales of persimmon seeds.
12:22At that time, he got this information.
12:25My boss is eating persimmon seeds with curry.
12:30This is delicious.
12:33Mr. Hirono thought.
12:36If you mix persimmon seeds with something, you can make a delicious meal.
12:41First of all, he challenged himself with nori tsukudani and nametake.
12:47I thought it would be delicious, but there was a big problem.
12:52The persimmon seeds are wet.
12:55Tsukudani is wet with nametake.
12:58The texture of persimmon seeds is soft.
13:01This is not delicious.
13:03He tried chili oil.
13:07Why is this?
13:11That's right.
13:13He found that chili oil did not soften the persimmon seeds.
13:20The texture of the persimmon seeds and the taste of the chili oil are very good.
13:27He tried this for the first time.
13:32This is freshly made.
13:34That's right.
13:39Why?
13:41I was surprised.
13:43Why did this happen?
13:47According to Mr. Hirono, the oil of chili oil covers the surface of the persimmon seeds.
13:54That's right.
13:56Normally, persimmon seeds absorb moisture in the air.
13:59However, this oil does not absorb moisture, so it will not wither.
14:04This is the oil of persimmon seeds.
14:08He is particular about how to make it.
14:11The point is to divide it into three parts and put it in a bottle.
14:14I do this to make it look beautiful.
14:18He puts the ingredients of chili oil, persimmon seeds, and chili oil in order to make the persimmon seeds stand out as a souvenir.
14:28Then he makes it into three beautiful layers.
14:32He calculates and makes it.
14:35He continues to develop new products since the start of sale in 2018.
14:42By the way, what is Mr. Abe thinking about now?
14:47I also want chocolate.
14:50This is a new product.
14:52I don't think chocolate goes well with rice.
14:57He has a strategy.
14:59This is a new method of putting persimmon seeds in bread.
15:04Interesting.
15:06I see. His next goal is to eat bread.
15:10This is very delicious.
15:15He is developing this product so that fans can eat it.
15:19I hope it goes well.
15:22The result of Mr. Abe is persimmon seeds.
15:28This is amazing.
15:30I think this is delicious.
15:32Persimmon seeds are in a different category than sweets.
15:40It's amazing that he came up with the idea of putting persimmon seeds on rice.
15:46I understand why this is so popular.
15:49This is a new product that was just released in March.
15:53This is curry flavor.
15:58This is delicious.
16:00This is delicious.
16:02This is delicious.
16:04He made curry and put oil and persimmon seeds in it.
16:09This is also delicious.
16:12This is very delicious.
16:14This is very delicious.
16:16This is very delicious.
16:18This is very delicious.
16:19I don't know why I can't eat this.
16:21This is very delicious.
16:23Next is a souvenir.
16:25This is a souvenir that is very popular in the inbound industry.
16:29He came to Narita Airport to look for a souvenir business.
16:35This is a company called ZIP AIR TOKYO.
16:41ZIP AIR TOKYO is not a souvenir company.
16:45This is an airline company.
16:47This is a small airline company.
16:52He found the president.
16:56This is a souvenir.
16:59This is amazing.
17:01I'm glad.
17:03Is ZIP AIR TOKYO also a souvenir business?
17:08ZIP AIR TOKYO is not a souvenir company.
17:11This is a new business.
17:13This is interesting.
17:16This is the first innovative souvenir business in the airline industry.
17:21What kind of business is this?
17:24This is a souvenir business for inbound passengers.
17:29This is Wagyu beef.
17:34Wagyu beef is very popular in Japan and abroad.
17:39This is a beef that can be used for steaks, shabu-shabu, and sukiyaki.
17:43This is a beef that can be transported to the United States and Singapore.
17:49However, it is difficult to transport beef to Japan.
17:53It is difficult to transport beef to Japan.
17:58How can I buy Wagyu beef as a souvenir?
18:03Yamada will try it.
18:08This is passport information.
18:10First, buy a plane ticket at ZIP AIR TOKYO.
18:13This time, I booked a flight to Singapore.
18:18Select an option such as seats and meals.
18:22Wagyu beef is here.
18:25You can buy it as an option.
18:29Wagyu beef is on the menu of the airline.
18:33Wagyu sliced beef, shabu-shabu sukiyaki beef 1.5 kg 39,800 yen.
18:39This is a very expensive beef.
18:42I bought Wagyu sliced beef, shabu-shabu sukiyaki beef 1.5 kg.
18:48Can I buy it so easily?
18:51Is this all?
18:53Is this all right?
18:55I checked it just in case.
18:58If you want to bring beef to a foreign country,
19:01First, buy Wagyu beef with a meat certification.
19:05Bring the beef to the animal shelter at the airport.
19:10You have to get a passport certificate.
19:14It takes a lot of time and looks very difficult.
19:19I haven't done that at all.
19:23Is it okay?
19:25It's too easy.
19:28Yamada came to Narita Airport on the day of departure.
19:34Can he really bring beef to a foreign country?
19:41He bought Wagyu beef with a meat certification.
19:46Yamada came to Narita Airport on the day of departure.
19:52He doesn't seem to have beef yet.
19:56He's just waiting at the counter.
20:01Can I buy Wagyu beef from Akihabara beforehand?
20:05Thank you very much.
20:07He checks the beef here.
20:11Finally, a cardboard box with Wagyu beef appears.
20:18This is it.
20:20This is the name of Wagyu beef.
20:22This is mine.
20:25He checks his name in the box.
20:28He checks in as a baggage.
20:32He takes the beef to the airport.
20:37What about Yamada?
20:41He doesn't have a passport certificate.
20:46He doesn't need it.
20:48He went to the airport.
20:52Is it okay?
20:55It's not easy.
20:57We take care of all the procedures.
21:04Thank you very much.
21:06He takes care of all the procedures.
21:13This is good.
21:15Wagyu beef is sold twice a year.
21:20Wagyu beef is sold twice a year.
21:26He enjoys Japanese tourism.
21:29He buys Wagyu beef and goes back to Singapore.
21:33Japanese beef is so delicious.
21:38We have shabu-shabu at home.
21:41We want to try the service.
21:44It's so nice.
21:46It's very easy.
21:49He is very excited.
21:55What does he do?
21:59He goes to the warehouse near Narita airport.
22:04He checks the inside of the case.
22:07Is it frozen?
22:09It's frozen.
22:12He takes the beef to the airport.
22:19He keeps the beef frozen.
22:24He carries the frozen beef.
22:27He carries it in a cargo.
22:29He carries it in a cargo.
22:33He carries it in a cargo.
22:35It takes 7 hours to go to Singapore.
22:38The beef melts.
22:41He puts the frozen beef in a bag.
22:45He packs it carefully.
22:49There are 40 bags including steroids.
22:56He puts it in a box.
23:02He puts a certificate in the box.
23:06He puts the certificate in the box.
23:11He checks the beef at the airport.
23:17He puts the frozen beef at the airport counter.
23:26He takes the beef to the airport.
23:32He takes the beef to the airport.
23:36It took 7 hours.
23:38It took 7 hours.
23:46He brought the beef.
23:49He brought the beef at the airport.
23:56He brought the beef at the airport.
23:59He checked the sealed box.
24:02He checked the sealed box.
24:05That's right, he brought a lot of meat
24:10For Mr. ZipAir, one seat is limited to 290 seats
24:15There is a limit to increase the sales
24:19If one Wagyu is sold, the sales will increase by one seat
24:25In addition to meat, he will also sell seafood
24:30ZipAir is a souvenir of Wagyu
24:32Perfect
24:34Isn't this great?
24:36Isn't it great, Mr. Moriyama?
24:37It's great
24:38Foreign tourists don't say Wagyu when they see Japanese people
24:43I don't say Wagyu when I see Japanese people, but I like Wagyu
24:46This is a good idea
24:48Foreign tourists can travel by hand
24:52That's right
24:53Then you can consume more in Japan
24:55I see
24:56You don't have to bring it from the hotel to the airport
24:59I think it's a good idea to activate inbound consumption
25:03This is a great idea
25:06We've seen a lot of things
25:08Finally, Mr. Sakaguchi, please tell us about the souvenir business that you are paying attention to
25:13That's after the commercial
25:20Then, Mr. Sakaguchi, please tell us about the souvenir business that you are paying attention to
25:23It's a vending machine hotel
25:26It's a souvenir shop that only sells vending machines
25:32It's in Shibuya
25:34There are a lot of foreign customers
25:36For example, there is a name of a foreign person
25:39It's a seal made by hand
25:42That's interesting
25:44If you have a little money left, you can use it for small change
25:49Then, if you take a plane in a few hours, you can use it
25:54It's an interesting place
25:58That's interesting
25:59I want to go there
26:00It's a vending machine hotel
26:02A hotel that is popular but not well-known
26:05Drinks and snacks are free
26:07What is a super-fat and safe hotel?
26:10It's pretty crazy
26:11A hotel that grows rapidly
26:13A double-decker bed is a popular secret
26:15It's amazing
26:26Run
