- Tatsuru Rai is the owner and chef of Sobatei Rakuichi in Niseko, Hokkaido. He operates the 12-seat restaurant, considered one of the world’s great soba houses, with his wife Midori. He mixes, kneads, and cuts all of the buckwheat to order.
He was the first person to appear on stage at the fourth annual MAD Symposium, in Copenhagen. Instead of giving a speech, Tatsuru demonstrated his craft in complete silence.
MAD is a non-profit organization that inspires and empowers cooks, servers, and eaters to create sustainable change. From luminaries in the field to young apprentices, we’re connecting individuals and equipping them to make a difference in their restaurants and the world.
Knowing Japanese culture, there's probably a master craftsman who makes that pole he uses as a roller, and a master craftsman who makes the wooden knife guide.
Haha nice one ! :D
Also that knife he using take a master to make it. Majority of the thing used are made by hand with traditional tools.no electric/ gas powder instrument are generally used.
Clint Huff what is gas powder?
lol; yup. nice comment ;)

Look at the pride on this man's face as his food is completed.
That's what I was just explaining to my girlfriend. I'd love to watch this in person!
To travel the world and experience how They Really Do It!
You can't beat the Original Deal!
Just imagine dedicating your life to a craft and in that moment is when the fruits of your labor are harvested. Nothing but pride.
@@ryanabarca8616 that's why talentless fuckups like streamers shouldn't exist and neither their stupid stans worshippers
This is why I adore the old traditional Japan: They perform even the most unspectacular duties with the highest sense of devotion and dignity.
yeah, especially systematic extermination
Dis you just assumed his race?
Ghanta
Like making tea.. Tea Ceremony.
@@Jourmand1r well-said, Dankisimo. Some of their atrocities during WWII made the German's seem slightly milder by comparison. Look it up. Can't remember the name of the facility, but they did some outrageously heinous stuff there. When you have a culture of robotic and emotionless personality imposed upon the people, combined with a legitimate belief that you are a superior race, I guess atrocities come naturally.
Just watched a guy make noodles for 13 min... I'm happy for some reason
noodles by a master??? = great honor if he presents it to you!
Me to made my day
Mr IT Guy....so did I.😉
It’s oddly satisfying
This is like some LIVE event of ASMR.
You can tell it's 5am on a night shift when you find yourself watching performance noodling.
hahahaha, yep
its certainly night shift viewing. Now i'm away to make a snack. microwave noodles....the guilt!
This ain't a performance boi, this is business as usual to the bald dude
misconstrudel Or you suffer with major insomnia
You know what's unavoidable in crowds? That one guy that coughs.
And sneezing
and snoring
oh wait
Or farting
Or breathing
And one like you complaining
I absolutely love the man's proud smile at the end, that's the smile of someone who just wants you to enjoy the merits of his work.
You know you've mastered something when you make it look easy
The announcer makes this sound like a golf tournament.
so bloody accurate
f0rmaggi0 😂😂😂 thats right!!!
I know, it made me laugh but I enjoyed much more than golf
+
Snooker... your thinking of Snooker.
One of the most relaxing videos I've ever seen. Just cook - no trash talking.
Try Kdeb cooking. Incredible young man cooking in the beautiful outdoors.
it's ASMR (look up Ephemeral Rift)
you can mute the sound on any cooking video
When he was chopping them into noodles , most relaxing sound and the rolling pin
You must have never eaten best food then... Gordon Ramsay says fuck you.
That isn't just food, it is art and ritual.
Much respect from the USA.
It's just junk food 😅
Extreme adoration by Americans has always been kind of cringy.
Bhatt Hole damn can we just respect it without yall being like “AMERICANS REEEEEEE”
Its made from buckwheat so its healthy
A ritual for what to be exact?
It really doesn't matter what it is, watching someone who has mastered something is always fascinating. The attention to the smallest detail, the total focus, the seemingly effortless execution. Flawless.
I get the same feeling watching the grill masters at waffle house.
A German word for it should find it in the English dictionnary: Vorfreude
I always enjoy videos showing a master working his craft without any music. It can be watch-making, cooking, programming, or even something ridiculous. Something very soothing about watching pros do their thing.
I like watching pros do my thing...
Same here. That's why I love my sushi shop where they slaughter the fish at the first floor ans make sushi on the second. Craftsmanship makes life beautiful. Almost as much as my wife does ;)
Yes, so good to have something on TH-cam without some god-awful music.
He is good at his craft, but can he see in 10 dimensions?
I know which video you saw before this. I, too, have been on this journey.
I see you're a man of soba as well
Omg.
This is the way.
Lol i watched him before this vid 😂
When I say, "I can't believe I sat and watched all that", it's not to discredit anything about the video, but it's to show my humble appreciation for what was essentially an artful performance that made beautiful to me something that is often interpreted as mundane drudgery due to the manner in which it is perceived. This video has reminded me that what makes things special in life is the attitude in which things are practiced and perceived. Thank you for your appreciation!
thank you for sharing the video and comments. I totally agree. some people who do not know how to cook do not appreciate the passion we put into a dish and its design. they think eating is the big part of it, but I say, making it is the biggest part of cooking. If its done done out of passion and love, yummyyyyy, is all I can say!!
I agree as well, the whole time he had a little smile on his face, and that made me happy. This is an art that i hope never dies!
I totally agree with you, it was an eye opening experience.
So did you ever make your own noodles? I recommend it.
Props to the audio crew who put that mic on the work surface. There are hints of technique that would be lost without sound.
Danielsan B it makes the immersion even deeper
Next level soba :)
Except for when he was cleaning up the excess flour. That metallic scrapping sound was pretty irritating.
I wish the Master and his family a long and prosper life!
Greetings from Germany!
Holy Heinz
And greetings from the United States as well. I have high regard for the old Japanese culture that, it seems, emphasizes quality over quantity. This Master is a fine example of that philosophy, and there are many more Masters like him practicing other skills in Japan. And, to be fair, there are other Masters all over the world.
Charles H Mansfield True, true!
This is excellent. His speed, precision, and focus are all awe inspiring. I literally am shocked at how exact his cutting was. A true master of his art.
Dude... Relax. My mom has been making tortillas since I was not even here. You pick the corn, you cook the corn, you grind the corn on a stone hand grinder again and again til it becomes dough like, then you cup a hand full inside the palm of your hand and you roll it inside until it shapes down into a circle that'll keep growing the thinner it gets, you put it in a hot clay Comal, you turn it once and once a thin layer fluffs up, the tortilla is done. She did this shit during the cival war in 1988 while bullets flew passed. And to this, day, they're just fucking tortillas just as these are just noodles. Cup noodle soup, pop open at water cook for 3 min. Boom. Mind blown.
@@vash347 Except that the way he makes noodles is much more complicated than making a tortilla and requires much more concentration and finesse. The fact that your mom makes tortillas in a war doesn't mean that making noodles is extremely easy. You just come off as ignorant and had to try to get pity while bringing in your mom.
@vash347 I hope one day you realize the profundity of your mom making tortillas.
I came here by an accident and got hooked. There is something hypnotizing effect for watching this guru's work.
That's the art of zen.
More like relaxing and satisfying.
I am mesmerized
@yujil da Apparently an old guy who makes noodles while a white dude gets off whispering commentary to his own personal food porn.
Not gonna lie, I was bobbing my head to the beat his rolling pin was making in the beginning
Xhoel Corbaxhi me too 😂😂😂
Moe Skeetz i instantly thought about makin a beat
Same with cutting/chopping!
A true artist😅🤣
Very nicely done. Soba Noodles are not easy to make.
It is made of buckwheat flour. He uses only buckwheat flour and buckwheat starch.
Normally you would mix normal wheat to it to prevent the noodles from braking or thinning
to much. But wheat weakens the unique and very delightful taste of it. Also... buckwheat flour has the tendency to split itself from water in the dough, so you have constantly control it's moisture and work the dough. The only problem I have with this whole thing is how overly dramatic they made it.
But everything else is pretty OK. He is proud of his work. Like a blacksmith of his sword. A cheesemaker of his Parmesan or Cheddar. Or like a mechanic of his newly build racecar.
All good craftsmen and women deserves respect. Since they bring us the goods we so crave and proudly display.
No matter if it's a racecar.
A piece of jewellery.
Fine silk fabrics.
A beautifully crafted piece of furniture.
A well assembled rose garden.
Or simply the joy of slurping tasty noodles with ponzu.
Money may make the world go round.
But without craftsmanship you can't spend your
money on anything.
pls stahp im crying
Ilyas Ali What?
+Boy Freitag bomb pearl harbor, america nuke them killing innocent people, make largest battleship, america make most advanced submarine, rape? i think it is more about having sex, dont say that american doesn't have sex too. you guys are always with your one sided statement. so boring
***** You know I use to be a patriot. But now I won't even admit that I was an American.
Look at the history of America from 1950's onward. There is almost nothing to be proud of. Actually by the 90's... it just turns really bad. America isn't very well liked in this world. And that for a good reason. I'm not saying that I hate the people. But the government is messed up.
how the fuck did i end up here
"he chooses to work in complete silence"
Accidentally drops the sickest mix of my time.
Steven Hicks 🤣🤣🤣
I swear to god that beat he made when he was stretching the dough was sick af
Keep it at 169
True!!!
the cutting beat was bonkers
I love the underlying principle of meditation. Once you achieve skills high enough that you do not need to "think" about what you are doing and instead you "feel" it, it becomes part of a "ritual" of sorts. That is what makes excellent chefs so excellent - they "know" how to prepare their food, not just have the knowledge to do so. Cause the knowledge can be learnt in a few months, but the "knowing" only comes with much practice and training and an inner "state" of mind.
+Joe Kundlak its not exclusively in chefs.. its daily part of life
am i the only one who thought the beats he was making were on point? 🔥🔥
loop it!
What beats?
when he was chopping the soba
hell yeah, he had a rhythm going, just needed a melody and this can get way outta hand! wooo!
When he stretches the dough he has a rhythm too
OMG! A true master of his art, and probably a Japanese cultural treasure.
Did anyone else get super upset at 3:20 at that little crease in the dough that he just never flattened, drove me nuts
I did, maybe that's what he wanted us to think or maybe it wasn't important at the time.
Or maybe it was deliberate. The ancient tapestry weavers in the Middle East would weave a deliberate mistake into their work as a sign that they weren't arrogant enough to insult the divinity by attempting to achieve perfection.
I felt it EXACTLY the same way you did. His kung-fu is weak. My pastafari spirit suffers.
I think he did but it was right after they changed camera angles so you didn't get to see it.
At 3:39 you see him fix it.
Props to the sound guy who got all this. Fantastic quality.
"What's for Dinner, honey?"
"ART!"
Where were you until today MAD? You came in like a blessing to me. Lots of love from Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, India 🙂🙏💜. Your channel means a lot to me.
Saw this live at his restaurant in Hokkaido. Relaxing and mesmerizing.
I just watched this nigga cook noddles...
Love his smile at the end
The smug look on that mans face when it's all done and being prepared for service just shows how much this person loves what he does.
True skills comes within, it's something that a person is infatuated with, in a good way, it's something that a person wakes up every morning wanting to go to work and create and invent and see a final product no matter how many times they have done it. It's more than a passion, it's a life.
I am a welder by trade, and when I lay down a good bead, or see a good well-fit-together project it puts a smile to my face, knowing I worked hard on it. This is more than noodles. it's a lost respect for people with talent who use their hands, mind, and knowledge of the materials given to you.
I don't really see it as "smug" more of a humble look to it. Imo.
+Patrick Strong Yeah, using the word smug suggests it's something negative. I think he looks satisfied and pleased with his work and he knows it will taste good.
Google the word smug and you'll see why I used the word in such a context.
+Patrick Strong Smug is used to describe a wrongful pride in ones accomplishments. That's the reason "conceited" is a synonym.
Patrick Strong in the words of the Joker "letssss put a smile on that face"
I just watched a guy make noodles for almost 15 minutes for no other reason then it was in my recommended videos..... Thanks TH-cam
Me too
Watched it for the love
And I just watched a guy make noodles for almost 15 minutes by searching it up
so funny :D
damn samehere bro smoke more weed
If there is a thing that Japanese people do then there is a "master" that does it the best. Some of these masters are absolutely amazing at their skill, the level of proficiency and concentration never ceases to amaze me.
Buckwheat noodles have the cleanest flavour. I'd die happily after consuming a bowl of this man's noodles.
+Christopher Hitchens You don't need to die happily. As I was once in Hokkaido, I visited the Sobatei Rakuichi in Niseko, where Master Tatsuru is the owner of it. I've eaten there his soba, and one could really say it is to die for. But why not go on living and eat that more times than once?
+Alessia di Milano dude, lol relax.
d vc dude, that was an ironical reply on the comment above. btw, can a woman be a dude? I thought this term is reserved for gys only.^^
+Alessia di Milano Fuck off.
+Christopher Hitchens You want to swallow that man's noodles ha? ;)
he forgot to put a packet of yum yum seasoning on it

This is literally the embodiment of God's personal chef.
No words, just absolute golden silence and a man in his craft, doing work

It was an honor to watch a craft.Thank you Sir.
this is not food , its a sculpture, he just created an art, magnificent, elegant. amazing to watch
th-cam.com/video/xhB_AsWcSuk/w-d-xo.html
i really dont understand why some people here are saying this is dumb because it takes too long or just dumb period. if this guy wants to devote his life to this type of thing and he wants to show it to the world, then let him do it. i dont see anything wrong about that.
It's not dumb but pretentious. Not everything should be marketed as a show.
It's 6pm, 75 degrees and sunny out, I am in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and I just spent a half hour sitting in a chair naked watching this guy make noodles. Thanks internet.
In which city?
Haha, I'm also naked ✊
Fell asleep after a few minutes with the snooker-commentator. Woke up near the end and he's only done noodles. It's going to be full feature film length if he does sauce huh
omg, hilarious!!!! :)

Tell me why im here when i'm supposed to be studying for exams? This is really relaxing.
Ikr, I'm here after one year the night before my exam. 😂
Enjoy, relaxes you up before you study for your exam.
so much love for noodles.
japanese is so adoring food, embedding soul and prayer into the food. resulting the food become alive and nurturing. thats why theyre so healthy and live longer.
The culinary discipline of the Japanese to show respect, grace, passion, attitude towards preparing dishes is ritual.
love how they put that microphone on corner of table. This is like ASMR
+lukkyluciano Awesome Soba Master Radar ?
WTF did i just watch?? It was fucking awesome!
I like the respect given to the noodles. Made and treated like works of edible art.
Thats because it is
Everyone in Japan wants to be a "Master" of something. I make a pretty mean tuna salad....look at me everyone, I'm a Master.
+Jay Davis Oh shit, you should meat my brother, he's the Spaghettios Master
chazzatheninja LOL
im a master dump taker
+FantasticToyReviews
Its the japanese government that gives out these titles to preserve the cultural significance. Its like art. Who the hell need expensive painting when you have 4k videos and insane cameras these days for the price of the canvas itself.
+Jay Davis I'm a master of procrastination. That's why I've spent half my adult life on TH-cam, literally I've spent from age 18 to 24 around 3 years or rather 36 months in front of my computer watching TH-cam, or should I say I've spent 2192 days watching TH-cam, Or as I prefer to call it, 52608 hours of TH-cam watching. And that's not taking into consideration the time before I was 18 when I actually did have a life and did stuff beside watching TH-cam, and seeing as I've watched TH-cam since it started... When I was 12, Means I've probably spent up towards 6 years of watching youtube which is a quarter of my current lifespan.
So where can I buy a life?
This feels like an asmr video
Her little smile at the end. Adorable 🥰
' Instead of giving a speech, Tatsuru demonstrated his craft in complete silence.' that is why he does it slow....please read caption or listen to what the speaker is saying before talking nonsense. this is an expose not a cooking show.
When the guy filming was trying to be all deep and said "What is cooking?" I could not stop laughing.
Thomas Fiedler literally took the words out of my mouth, I lost it at that very same moment. Freaking hipsters man... its just noodles.
Thomas Fiedler Seriously man...I love food and I love Japanese food at that. But this is taking the whole "Japanese master" thing way too far. If this was a white guy, no one would give two shits about him making noodles. Just because he's an old Japanese dude, people automatically think it's an art.
I get it, Japanese people are perfectionists. But no matter how perfect it is, it's still just noodles. I'd be willing to bet money that neither you nor I could tell the difference between this guys noodles and the other Japanese noodle guy down the street. In the end, it's still flour and water. It all basically tastes the same.
Thomas Fiedler you do realise that the guy filming is Rene Redzepi.
whiskeyboy Guy talking is a world-class Danish chef whose restaurant won "Best in the World" awards for 4 of the past 5 years.
That doesn't mean he cant sound ridiculous discussing this mans ability to make noodles.
Half of us cant even cook instant noodles right and then there is this man who dedicated his life to making noodles... We stress everyday about finding jobs and careers and bills and everything else in the world... Here we have a humble man who made his soul purpose to making noodles. Somewhere along the lines the rest of the world got screwed up. Find something you love and master that craft even something as small as noodle making.
Some people seek perfection in everything that they do. Even in the simplest cooking.
Rolando Ruiz how dare u call noodles simple
2-Minute Noodles are simple (for obvious reasons)
Soba is not

Mesmerising. I can't help but be impressed by the traditional Japanese attention to perfecting simple things. Also, soba is delicious
+Jonas Hellberg Holy shit even your profile picture screams "Pretentious hipster arsehole".
Perfecting simple things? That's fucking bullshit, perfecting complex things is impressive.
How many people marvel at how perfectly I flick a light switch? Not as many pay to see ACTUAL masters who've perfected things like, oh I don't know, fucking driving a car at 200mph+.
*Usually ACTUAL masters don't give themselves the title*
+chazzatheninja you're my new favorite person
chazzatheninja oh sure I'm a hipster but my love for japanese crafts mostly comes from my friend's japanese family, a year of japanese studies and a semester abroad.
I'd argue that you can go both ways, perfecting complex things is an interesting thought but it's sort of built in the expression that you can't perfect something complex. I mean, that's the reason you can have a good grasp of newtonian mechanics but climate science has to be a collaborative effort.
The japanese traditional craftsmanship is dying to be sure, mostly I think it's because Japan used to be a more or less medieval society up until the arrival of American gunships in the 1800s, so basically what you're seeing is something of a living museum and probably something that used to be around Europe but is hard to find today.
In the end it's just a matter of taste I suppose. The American "bigger is better" aesthetic is nice sometimes but I think this kind of thing is a breath of fresh air.
@@chazzatheninja yur face showing how fucktard u are periodically
Japanese food is not only amazing but a true art form! Much respect
The discipline and reverence is amazing
Wow to turn the making of something so everyday into an art form is amazing . The art and skill required to roll a paste into a perfect square and make it look so easy is amazing. Then to serve so simply but with eveey ingredient just where it should be .
What a master! I can taste is passion and love that he puts into his craft of soba making! Mahalo!
what a cool craft to know and master....beautiful.
Really got into the video tbh like watching him make the noodles was both hypnotic and therapeutic💖🙏
Look at the lady she is serving with a smile ❤️❤️ the presentation is outmark GENIUS

Soba Master Tatsuru Rai demonstrates his Japanese ASMR craft
My wife makes this all the time. I guess next time I should give her a standing ovation.
Lol
I'm impressed not just by his technique and devotion to his craft, but flour all over and his black shirt is spotless. I just steam some veggies and somehow have flour on me, and I never even went near the pantry.
Always amazing to watch a skilled artisan at work, well done.
To me, as an outsider, the Japanese intricacy at cooking seems like their way of paying their deep respect to the food
be quiet roundeye outsider. These noodles are not meant for your kind.
@@NathanHassall As a hafu, that seems disrespectful to others. Food should bring people together. These Japanese masters appreciate the Internet bringing their passion to others

beautiful to watch, so serine, thankyou
i'm torn here because it is A. an incredibly douchey premise to pay to watch some old dude fold pasta dough, but B. it was incredibly relaxing to watch
It's like a restaurant where you have a chance of getting food after you've payed xD
I don't really care how people spend their money dough
The calligraphy of cooking. Very fluid indeed.
One thing I have found out over the years... the Japanese are experts at folding and cutting.
just waiting for someone to ask him for a fork tho.
Somehow, the simple way of serving it made me feel moved. Strange that I probably would have dropped a tear if someone put his artwork at my disposal to serve my taste. That way of serving the plate appealing humble yet with mastery. Yes, because one important part of cooking is sharing it.
Love how he recycles his flours and uses everything less mess to!!

" your offer honors me, Master, but are these gluten free?"
rofl I just can't even m8
it probably is. buckwheat is glutenfree.
Lol it is because it is 100% buckwheat and thats why these noodles are harder to make than your usual pasta.
a traditional soba is rice flour so yes it is gluten free

This illustrates the beauty of humanity. Even though some of his motions were machinelike the fundamental truth is that we are creative and thus far only we have been able to place multiple mechanical sequences in such an order is to actually produce something aka create. And THAT I think is pretty damn cool.
That was truly masterful
I think the quote is
"Excellence in simplicity"
Such wonderful sounds of the noodle preparation and serving...
Sure it is (^ ^) It is a beautiful state
