There are actually lots of Mexican(ish) restaurants in Tokyo.
I absolutely love your passion. You deserve all the success. From South Africa.
thumbnail makes me think its a star from gta
Amazing!!! I love his story and positive attitude💜
シートベルトは？
Funny guy
Very interesting farm to restaurant business video
Glad this pop'd up in my recommended feed. Great business. Yuzuru is a good storyteller and pretty darn funny ta boot. You can really see where his Canadian experience rubbed off on him. Small diverse crop farming is a tough gig for making money, glad to see him find an angle to rake (and hoe) in some Yen. Will subscribe for part 2.
are they planting mushrooms too?
@18:52 "I kinda feel bad as an American." Dude. Shut up. If nuclear bombs weren't used in WW2, millions of Japanes and American lives would be lost. Stop revising history.
I like growing in a messy natural fashion but it's nice that he is doing things in this way, gotta have the mix of approaches. He is looking deep into the world of life for beauty, flavor, and profit.
I do some of the same, but I share my discoveries around a campfire. Nothing better than cooking with other people around a real fire and the smoke flavor adds a vibe. I garden for money too, but just by selling my time and skills, not produce. Fresh produce farming is annoying, lots of pressure, don't like it. I garden for beauty and subsistence and sharing the extra with others to spread the joy and make more gardeners.
The flavor difference between stuff grown in a rich soil ecosystem versus the chemfarm soil apocalypse is shocking. I grew up hating tomatoes, but my mind was blown when I ate a ripe heirloom tomato from a beyond organic tiny farm. Changed my life. I want to create that moment in other people. Trick them with direct experience instead of trying to convince people with my words.
A purple carrot fresh from the ground, especially after a frost. Fresh sugar snap peas. Black Cherry tomatoes. Popped amaranth. Potatoes with actual flavor. All sorts of weapons in my arsenal, barely getting started. I hope to infect many people with the green thumb disease with food 🙂
I wish I had that man's knowledge! Great video. try for sharing!!
the ways of the DAO are mysterious…
Great vid !
The best chefs need the best ingredients. This guy is legendary.
I love this❤
I grow Oyster plant and I was kinda disappointed when I first tried Oysters, because they are nothing like the clean, vegetal-seafoody taste of the plant – Oyster tastes like shit – like coughing from swallowing seawater while swimming and a bit of phlegm gets in your throat. Blergh.
I didn’t expect to see plastic containers 😢
He speaks English very well. Chefs are crazy man 😂
This is the best video about farming I have seen. Kajiya San is so down to earth and so creative. Very interesting and informative.
Thank you for this video.very educational 🙏
Stoked to come and see your farm.
You shouldn't even let people know about the forage being in the mountains. I hope it's not, or is on private property because some idiot is going to go looking and ruin it for you and your customers.
Wow, this was an awesome video. Learnt so much & loved the conversation. Feeding my dreams, here in south africa 😂
What is an amazing video🥰 Editing, presentation and communication are perfect 👍 Absolutely Kajiya farm is an indispensable farm in Japan. It changes the restaurants in Japan.
The one thing I admire about Japan is how much care they put into their food. I wish more countries would strive to be the best in what they produce like this. Food quality would be much better
Wow! truly awesome.
This is such an interesting and inspiring interview. It's amazing how much artistry and expertise Mr. Kajiya has! Thank you!
Good timing, “natures always right” when things seem wrong! Watching this one by a small pond and it’s almost too good to be free entertainment haha
I truly appreciate what you are doing, man.
Thank you
Have you moved for good to Japan?
so interesting!!
10/10 story
Just subscribed. Thanks for this amazing video…He looks like a kid on christmas when he talks about finding new plants!
Great video I'm so jelly of your whole life/situation
Very nice… informative and inspiring .his experience will help me a lot .I m growing many of these flowers but didn't know that these are edible.
Awesome 👏
I wish I could’ve sent you with some paw paw seeds to give him!!! Would love to collab/link when you’re back in Tennessee 😍
I love it that this hardworking man honored his father by traveling to fine restaurants, his father's wish, and brought home SEEDS rare to Japanese cuisine. Now he has a thriving business growing rare food items for chefs!!!
I'm so interested in this way of farming. What is the ideal temperature for all these plants or crops?
Farmers attitude is like, "Can you believe they actually pay this much for this?"
Thank's for the very interesting subject, glad to hear his dad doing well, so inspiring story. ❤❤❤
THANK YOU for this doc/interview!
I thought Kajiya had studied in Canada, as the accent is familiar.
It was wonderful to hear that his father is doing so well! It proves how Nature, Wildlife and loved ones benefit us tremendously…Mentally, Phyically, Emotionally, and Spiritually.
Cheers!🇨🇦
