Jun gives Poki his little finger, Poki: noms on his hole hand xD so adorable
That kinumaki filling reminds me a lot of salt water taffy with how it's stretched and folded on that machine.
Let's appreciate from the gratefulness and respect of Mr. Yuseke Seki towards his ancestors. Japanese culture is very humble. We should learn from them.
Truly a beautiful video, I learned so much. Thank you to Jun and the shokunin!
Thank You!
Yay🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's really cool to get to see some of the making process for the senbei goodies. They almost look too pretty to eat.
If you like watching the hard candy making like the filling for the first snack, there's a cool channel called Lofty Pursuits that I recommend watching. They're a candy maker in USA that hand makes various hard candies (drop candy, picture candy etc) using Victorian era tools that is very enjoyable to watch.
Jun is a really good conversationalist!
Poki just took Juns whole finger in one chomp
Poki is HILARIOUS 😹
I always try to buy these type of omiyage. Everything is so pretty, I can't even throw the wrappers.
The satinisation of clear setting syrup to white is always beautiful to watch
I finally have a real job so i can get my own treat box. Thank you Rachel and Jun for working with this company
Clicked on the vid cuz it looked like little blunts n joints haha
oh my god they have to hand make and roll that stuff? no wonder its expensive!
I love that the manager also know how to do all the processing steps!!! Managers are way to often out of touch with the actual manual labor
I think you are a very natural documentary maker – I really enjoy your content. It feels educational while also being relaxing and very entertaining. Keep up the good work. 🌺
Sakura petals are a rare ingredient? 😮
its interesting how the kinumaki processing is like making the sticky candy
I lol'ed when your kitty tasted the sauce! 😄
I really want to try those beautiful snacks now. Thanks for a great video.
I wish I could order from them but I don't read Japanese so I can't understand their website. 😢
Hi Jun, I love your channel and hope you read this. I wish you didn't promote Sakuraco.
The company uses shady and dishonest business tactics and I fell victim to it after watching your video. You can find many reviews from unhappy customers all over the internet. Sakuraco automatically renew your plan and bill you without notifying the customer and refuse to issue refunds. Any decent company would honor a refund request made before the box ships. It is also best practice to notify customers before an automatic renewal/payment.
I learned about Sakuraco from your channel and I wished I never gave that company my money. I feel scammed.
🎉💝💖💗💓💞💕❤Jun speaking Japanese💞💓💕💖💘❤💝🎉
Thank you Jun, for this fascinating video. I really enjoyed listening and seeing the process of making Japanese snacks as they have been made for 100 years! Everyone took so much pride in their work. It is done with so much love for the craft.
🎉 I am soooo jealous….every part was brilliant, Sakura just every bit beautiful n sooo much detail
Holy shit, the accuracy of the stamps are no joke, that's definitely a real deal shokunin! Look at the margins – they're all the same!
Lovely
This video was incredible!! Thank you for bringing us along!
Thanks so much for sharing!!!!! I loved watching
iconic quote "aauuuuaaurrrghhh that's not how you lick…."
Jun lives in Fukuoka?! 😱
You can tell that the tour guide used to be (maybe still is) a badass because of the chain and multiple ear piercing holes
Poki is really getting used to being in the corner of the snack section of th evideos
Is this going to be a series? It would be lovely. 😍
Wow ❤
In America a few places still hand pull it so I’m shocked to not see it in Japan.
Ahhh! That is not how you lick, at least you gentle 😂 poki so freaking cute
I hope to see this man again at his BBQ. Take us, Jun!
There’s so much pride in whatever they do. The snacks look so lovely ❤
Such an informative video. Love tea time with Poki!
Loved this episode!
Absolutely amazing!
Many thanks for sharing that, it seems very delicious, even for a French guy 😋
And the process is very interesting, so much skills and traditions 🙏
Very love your video, but i dont see haku long time😅
Mabuhay po! watching from the Philippines!
wow pretty sweets! hope to taste them someday.
im intrested in the jelly in the plate and crunchy sweets also quite funny moments with your cat biting fingers
I truly cannot wait for the opportunity to travel to Japan, especially Kyoto. The beautiful and care of the entire country, is so impressive and admirable. The architecture, the food, the gardens, the capybara spas! 😂 but this is a prime example of the extreme love, care, compassion, and REAL hard working is put into everything. Such beautiful without going too far. Japan has mastered simple beauty in everything I feel like.
How interesting!
