I rarely comment Paolo, but it suddenly dawned on me that your style of narrating harkens back to my childhood when the announcer or narrator would kindly, and gently walk you through a subject or documentary. As an adult, it's a very relaxing style, and I love it! 😁👍✌
Fun fact: Singing to time certain processes was extremely common all around the world prior to clocks and timers becoming ubiquitous. People would sing as they cooked, blacksmiths would sing as they heated metal, etc.
Fascinating to see the sake-making process! About a year ago, a local sake brewer in my city had a tasting-and-learning session where participants could, for a reasonable price, try the whole lineup of their offerings. It was an amazing experience…but unfortunately I underestimated how much I had drunk and could barely stand up at the end. Anyway, it was a ‘learning’ experience in more ways than one. 😅
@@rastaralph7154 The bottle I have at home now is 15% but it can be a little higher. The dangerous part though is that it’s often really smooth, and it’s served in tiny cups so we don’t feel like we’re drinking much. Until we try to stand up. 😆
It is truly impressive how much attention to detail is paid to all the steps in the brewing process. My mind was already blown at the rinsing step; little did I know that was only the beginning. Great video as always Paolo!
"back in the day, brewers would sing to time the process" that fact is as heartwarming as it is adorable! kinda helps me imagine all the love being put into making the sake straight from the first step. handmade sake really is something else. there are so many other cool and innovative things happening here! the table also being a scale to measure water content as the rice ferments, using locally sourced mineral water, filtering the sake in bags manually... it's just a treasure trove of information and sake mastery! thank you so much as always for your incredible videos, paolo!
@@menohaveaname Seiko makes watches that range from entry-level, $100 watches to insane handmade pieces that cost 10k+, respected by the biggest watch snobs. They offer something for everybody which is why they are so loved globally. I'm sure you could find something you could afford my friend.
I can't even imagine... the hundreds of years of trial an error with temperature, ingredients, and learning to use koji mold for sake it took to perfect this recipe. I'm just amazed.
These how its made videos are so fascinating and informative. Paolo fromTOKYO is truly innovative with his content. We get to learn parts of Japan more in depth. It isn’t just about animé, manga, shrines, Japan has so much more to offer than you’ll ever realize.
I really like how the companies in each industry you've chosen to highlight take pride in having human interaction be a big part of the production process. Another great leaning experience!
Thank you for sharing this video😊 Even as Japanese, I didn't know it takes so much time, process and delication to make 1 kind of Sake. Your video makes me appreciate each food and product even more..! Arigato gozaimasu😊✨🙏
I cannot stress how much I love this series, this is what TV used to have in appeal like globe trekker or when stuff like the history Channel covered history but EVEN BETTER because we have YOU every episode and it feel like a journey with a friend that just phoned us up going "hey man check it out I got a tour of xyz, you intrested" (the answer is yes of course, ALWAYS lol) Please never change :) you, your content and your editing is AWESOME!!
I’m an American and I just came across your channel! Hand crafted sake making is a fascinating process!! I am looking forward to seeing more about Japan on your channel! Thank you!🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️
I love how they proudly talk about their work - in all of his Videos, doesnt matter where and in what position! How can you build that spirit in your own company or team? Amazing!
So much work goes into these videos, let alone preparing for the shoots 🙌🏼 Paolo and Maiko, we appreciate all your hard work in showing us more of Japan
So cool! I visited the Hakutsuru Brewery in Kobe in 2018 🙂 The museum they have is really cool and you can taste test different Sake there aswell. Also, the Sake ice cream was really delicious. The souvenir t-shirt I bought is one of my favourite to wear 🙂
unexpectedly this is one of my fav channels, before japan wasnt interesting to me but after seeing these vids. japanese people are the most kindest , disciplined and ii love the culture. japan is surely on my must go countries
This really makes you appreciate the work that goes into quality products! I had no idea the amount of time, skill, and work that went into making something like this!
How Handcrafted Sake is Made in Japan. The video is engaging and grips the viewer from start to finish. Watched the video on Sep 2, 2022 very like. Thank you so much
According to the website, a bottle of the sake is 11,000 yen (80$ USD). I would expect to pay so much more given the painstaking and handcrafted process!! Awesome Japan!
Thanks for the video, Paolo. More hand-work as I expected when I saw the factory. Also interesting: the process reminds me of brewing beer. Luckily we can use already malted wheat for brewing and don't have to malt it on our own.
Dang that's some high class skill to have. You have to love the craft to be able to work here since it is so labor intensive. I applaud them. Makes me want some.
Pablo, you continue to make videos that are very interesting to me as a Japanese person. Please introduce me to Kochi's bonito tataki in the fall. I have never had it 😋
So so interesting Paolo. I love the hand made elements - unique and valuable to the cultural heritage of Japan. Thank you for these insights and sharing your experiences. Hello from London : - )
Such a shame that I sobered up before I've had chance to ever taste Sake. You do such an incredible job with these videos, it's crazy to think it's just you and Maiko. Great work guys!!
This video was really brilliant, super informative and so well made and entertaining at the same time. Your content is amazing Paolo, huge "thumbs up" from Bangkok. Thomas PS. Why do I always write Pablo instead of Paolo?? LOL
We went here in 2018! Loved our visit, loved the nihonshu tasting after the tour. I also love their gift shop, bought a lot of goodies and a couple of bottles!🍶

Please please try to do a day in the life of a japanese watchmaker.
Paolo, can you tell us how much is this particular high grade Daiginjo?
Awesome content Paolo. Thanks very much.
You should really do a day in the life of a Japanese influencer example: Abroad in Japan or the guys from trash talk etc..

@@Jordan-inJapan cool, I can't wait to try it now! I don't use little cups though so I'll soon find out 🤣😅😂
More like a leaning experience, amirite 😅
@@gizmoat17 it was both. 😂

Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, that was very intricate process. And you see it takes More than one month to be ready.

What an honor to be invited to present these high profile companies to your audience. Congratulations on all your success!
Hey Paolo, would love if you did a video on Japanese watchmaking. A day in the life of somebody who works in a Seiko factory would be amazing!
This would be great! I doubt it’d be something I can afford, but I’d be curious for good entry-level Japanese watches.

So much discipline and respect to their task. Really impressive. Japan all the way ❤️❤️❤️
大手のお酒も当たり前だけど、
凄く丁寧に昔ながらのやり方を
現代のやり方でしてるんだな。
もっと機械化されてるかと
思ったけど、やっぱり何人もの
職人が手を出して、作り出すんだね。
そう考えると、日本酒って本当に
大変な作業をする酒なんだな。、
Clean, discipline, efficiency. Japan No.1
As a baker I really understand the process to the end product! very cool!
It's fascinating to see the length Japanese craftsmen are willing to go just for perfection! Amazing
I love how Paolo was like a kid in a candy store in the Sake factory!😋😍
I love how they proudly talk about their work - in all of his Videos, doesnt matter where and in what position!
How can you build that spirit in your own company or team?
Amazing!
Credit it to you Paolo for an exquisite production. My respect to you.👍👍👍👍👍
The collaborative and focused "choreography" by a sizable community of participants aiming for perfection makes the sake quintessentially Japanese!
Geez, I thought Wagyu was coddled. These rice grains are living the good life.
Man I don't know how you and Maiko are able to produce the quality of videos you do by yourselves.
So much work goes into these videos, let alone preparing for the shoots 🙌🏼 Paolo and Maiko, we appreciate all your hard work in showing us more of Japan
So cool! I visited the Hakutsuru Brewery in Kobe in 2018 🙂 The museum they have is really cool and you can taste test different Sake there aswell. Also, the Sake ice cream was really delicious. The souvenir t-shirt I bought is one of my favourite to wear 🙂
My wife and I actually visited their museum in March of 2020 it was very interesting place to visit.
“Let’s get the road on the show!” 😂
I appreciate how you VO the interview questions in English so we can understand very easily
It was really cool to see how all the team members were working together. Like the inside of a watch, so precise and efficient.
unexpectedly this is one of my fav channels, before japan wasnt interesting to me but after seeing these vids. japanese people are the most kindest , disciplined and ii love the culture. japan is surely on my must go countries
Please if possible make a day in a life video on logistics or supply chain industry in japan
Your videos are truly entertaining and educational at the same time. I really enjoyed seeing how complex the whole process was.
Had no idea sake production would be so hands on. I always gain a better respect for workers and the process after these videos
This really makes you appreciate the work that goes into quality products! I had no idea the amount of time, skill, and work that went into making something like this!
Absolute madness.
Beautiful, poetic, artistic. But absolute madness.
I've never tried it and didn't know it was brewed like that so this was a great learning experience and I now want to drink it 💚💛❤️👍
Do it right. Go to a sushi or hibachi grill and get the whole experience.😉
How Handcrafted Sake is Made in Japan. The video is engaging and grips the viewer from start to finish. Watched the video on Sep 2, 2022 very like. Thank you so much
This is Japan. Amazing country in the world.
According to the website, a bottle of the sake is 11,000 yen (80$ USD). I would expect to pay so much more given the painstaking and handcrafted process!! Awesome Japan!
Yeah, and they only make 1000 bottles? $80 seems underpriced.
I think the "highest" quality one is the one that's $240... though sake can get pricier than this for sure
@@splashsong 240$ definitely sounds more reasonable for something like this! Must have missed it on the website
@@varukasalt this particular one is not their highest quality; the people involved are younger brewers in process of learning, thus not so expensive.
Another excellent video! Such an impressive process in making Sake, I appreciate all the care they put into it!
Boy that looks like such a tedious process but it's clear the end results are totally worth it!
Thanks for the video, Paolo. More hand-work as I expected when I saw the factory. Also interesting: the process reminds me of brewing beer. Luckily we can use already malted wheat for brewing and don't have to malt it on our own.
Love, love, love your episodes. Japan seems like a really nice place
Thanks for the video Paolo!
Worth every cent after seeing the care and craftsmanship that goes into making this superb sake.
Dang that's some high class skill to have. You have to love the craft to be able to work here since it is so labor intensive. I applaud them. Makes me want some.
WOW, what a show. I did not imagine all that process to make Sake by hand. WOW. Great video.
Always love your videos Pablo, excited for this one! Sending love to the family 💖
the process was sensitive and they still accommodate you filming inside. Japanese are really nice people
I always get a kick and learn something new watching your videos. You helped me decide to put Japan on my bucket list.
There is so much work involved, that's incredible
Pablo, you continue to make videos that are very interesting to me as a Japanese person.
Please introduce me to Kochi's bonito tataki in the fall.
I have never had it 😋
I've been there, Hakutsuru is my favorite Sake 😊, it's amazing to know the making process.
Can you do the suntory factory next Paola!? That would be dope! 🔥
The hard work & passion. They don't have to do this for us,they could get any other job,but they do this. Thank you ☺️
The effort and dedication to these products are insane.
Lost it at 1:29 "all rice"! I love how Paolo always slips puns in the videos
9:40-9:58 I could watch on a loop for hours!!!🧘🏽♀
So so interesting Paolo. I love the hand made elements - unique and valuable to the cultural heritage of Japan. Thank you for these insights and sharing your experiences. Hello from London : - )
Watching these made in japan videos combined with eating delicious food or snack is the best combo ever
A wonderful blend of old world techniques yet using modern process to make a commodity.. well done
Yay a new vid
Paolo, love to say my thank and appreaciation to the documentatry that you put up on your channel. it is really infomative and eye opening
Certified Gold!!!!!
Straight up back breaking work. Much respect
Wow. Everyone was so meticulous and hardworking; I could never do that!
Look forward to all the videos, Paolo! Hope everything is well.
I've learned so much in just 15 minutes. Mind-blown. Thanks for this, Pao. 👌💯
I don't know if it's just me but I always check your shoes. And those 97s are for sure new. I've never seen them in your other videos
Just to sit here and soak in every minute of this! Thank you!
These are the best videos, thank you for making it
“All Rice” used instead of “all right” haha good one Paolo! 1:29 😁👍
It's a really big contrast from the more industrial sake brewing process that you've previously shown
Fascinating! So much more complicated than I imagined. And so many people were involved--this sake must be expensive to make.
hello Paolo and friends. Thank you for an informative video
麹菌を生やしてる時のお米は麹菌の発酵熱でポカポカ暖かいんだよね
麹室と麹米は蒸した栗みたいな匂いがする
発酵中の酒母タンクのなかに顔を近付けると酵母の発酵で出た二酸化炭素が高濃度に貯まっていて、刺激がつよすぎて涙がでて来る。
炭酸水飲んだ後のゲップが鼻から抜けたときみたいなツーンとする感じ
Such a shame that I sobered up before I've had chance to ever taste Sake.
You do such an incredible job with these videos, it's crazy to think it's just you and Maiko. Great work guys!!
I love this series.
Amaaazing… we need a day in the life of one of those masters…
woah ...getting to know a lot about JAPAN... hats off!!🙌🙌🙌🙌😍😍
This was really interesting Paolo! Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Another great video Paolo … informative, fast paced and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!👍
I don't really enjoy the taste of Sake normally, but watching this sure makes me wanna try it.
you need to try good sake. The taste is night and day comparing to cheaper stuff.
everyone is so cool! respect to all the craftsmen and workers
yes been waiting all week for new episode happy
Man, that transition at 1:26 was on point!
great!
thanks for giving us glimpses into japan!
This video was really brilliant, super informative and so well made and entertaining at the same time.
Your content is amazing Paolo, huge "thumbs up" from Bangkok.
Thomas
PS. Why do I always write Pablo instead of Paolo?? LOL
OMG...so many informations, such a process....Very informative!
Omg only now see this thank you for information....to show us the process of the product..enjoy and keepsafe
This is the one I've been waiting for. Well done.
What a machined and top quality masterful process!!! kumpai to a great vid Paolo!!!! 🍶
Excellent video Paolo, hope you had fun making it with the Sake crew, sure looks like it :)
Amazing video, so great to see the process. And your warm heartedness always makes me smile :)
You show all that is great about Japan
WOW! Your videos are always a highlight of my day!
We went here in 2018! Loved our visit, loved the nihonshu tasting after the tour. I also love their gift shop, bought a lot of goodies and a couple of bottles!🍶
The fact that we have definitely seen a variation of this subject before on this channel is not going to stop me watching this one! 😆
