Machines lubricated with butter is the most comforting thing ever. It’s so odd but the fact that these giant machines can actually help us feed thousands is fascinating
I'm not sure about that, there are industrial food grade grease and lubes out there, so many options, they are not exactly edible, but will not cause any harm when digested or contaminated.
I feel like large cauldrons of soup like this being served at festivals or events should be more widespread, it creates an event to look forward to and can be used as a way to feed people and mitigate unused food since soup can be made in any which way so long as it tastes good. Reminds me of stories like Stone Soup which has many renditions throughout the world
Mate i would agree but the japanese are so meticulous and hard working I would doubt there would be high chance of food poisoning. But else where in the world it would be a disaster waiting to happen
I think there are similar festival where people gather in a group and making food in a big batch and eat it together. As far as I know, it's still common in some part the south and southeast asia
That's how we've been doing it for thousands of years, festival usually has people cooking soup, broth and stew to serve the masses. Only now does it's going away 😢
bro the problem is the whole thing is so unhygienic, just the fact that the pot sits there for hours without a lid is a big problem. Plus it's so inconvenient. If it started to rain everything would be over
It is so heartwarming to see all these people of different generation, organize and enjoy participating in such a cool project. That's what striked me the most, aside the scale challenge aspect of it.
man... so wholesome, wish more stuff like that this happened in the world, think it would bring people together more, which is what we all really need in these times.
@@punishedfoxo I don't understand what's with all these comments. Nothing crazy happened I mean the big ass bowl is cool, besides that. People have such a hard on for Japan it's just odd
@@littlewigglemonster7691and the fact they used large machinery that intended for construction for cooking and lubricated them with butter was very cool
I’m more fascinated about the tedious process of taking machineries apart, cleaned and lubricated every part of it with butter and not to mention the afterward process of taking it all down and reclean all the butter up. Just that part alone is extremely expensive and tedious of its own.
@@greatninja2590 If you go in not expecting to profit, then whatever you make will be a satisfactory amount. If you expect massive profits, you will always encounter disappointment.
I would volunteer an entire day just to go and help and do this.. the process. The team, everything is going so well. And it is so nice to see humans caring for humans
Seeing how all of those volunteers get together the day before for prep and then reassemble at four in the morning to achieve something great gives me strength to face my much more trivial chores early tomorrow morning.
So much passion in this. Also, their methods can help formulate some kind of disaster relief operations when feeding a large population if you think about it.
While not to this scale, a lot of community events in Japan create big batch cookings like this by the locals as training for when such disasters like earthquakes happen.
Me: Hi, yes I would like to get an oil change Worker: Ok, what kind of oil would you like? Me: Butter Worker: did you say...butter? Me: Yes, Grassfed please
Love the fact that literally every asian country at some point in the history all decided to make a Giant pot to cook during a certain festival to feed everyone 😍
As a cook, feeding people is one of my greatest passions, and its so rewarding to feed people. Watching this makes me feel REALLY jealous for those volunteers xD I would do this in a heartbeat if i was given the opportunity.
I'm glad someone has mastered the art of cooking for a ton of people without needing to prep food on the floor or put literal ladders into the pot and scooping it out.
The people who make content like this should be very proud of themselves. I rather watch this than most of the entertainment content by top TH-camrs. If anything, I would love for this video to be longer👏🏻👍🏻😃
In Japan, you put operations such as the Beef Imoni Soup Festival to a whole new level! That's huge and absolutely complex! Would love to learn how you are organized in terms of people and process management as well as communication - could be a great business case.
Food really is a great uniter of communities, preparing it and eating together. I love it! I wish there wasn't so much plastic used, but the world still has a long way to go in that regard...
Very clean and nice work. Love from India. Reminds me of our Gurudwara food in Punjab and many Temple or Mosque food they cook and serve for like 50000+ each day or during festivals .. Similar practice. Its nice bonding.. Bringing back old Asian practices is nice to watch 🙂♥
5:19 When I saw the excavators I was wondering how they prevent hydraulic oil to spill into the soup and spoil it. Using butter for lubrication is ingenious and funny, very nice idea.
I find it interesting that it seems like the japanese “translation” of soul food is literally soul food. I think it’s even more interesting that they use this word to describe their regional foods! Kind of crazy how different cultures mix together in such a small but impactful way.
Lots of words, that didn't exist in japanese before, are just taken from another language (often english) and "japanised" so people can actually pronounce/write them.
Japan has quite a lot of words that are japanised from English. Some of them aren't "official" Japanese words but words that people use often in conversations. Here in Finland, we have some words that aren't officially in the Finnish dictionary but are used regularly and more often than official Finnish words.
i think it would be harder to not go there, i imagine everywhere within 30 miles can smell that soup! i can smell it through the screen and i wanna go!!
2:29 Those are easily some of the largest green onions I've ever seen. They are the green onions I tell the ones I get at the store, not to worry about.
When your soup ladle becomes an excavator bucket you've taken your craft to a new level. Workers next week: Why do our excavators seem to be attracting bears?
Dude the Harvest Moon is a Full Moon occuring in early Autumn when the moon is so bright farmers of centuries ago (and millennia ago, for that matter) could harvest summer crops well into the night. The Harvest Moon was, and remains, an annually occurring period of higher natural light illuminated by the Sun's radiation bouncing off the Moon. For farmers that don't employ artificial light, such as fires and electricity, the natural moonlight is pivotal to being able to harvest all the crops in time, before they spoil. Plants at their peak fruit outputs need to be picked and brought to market fast, and that can be achieved with machinery, seasonal labor, longer labor hours for workers, and, invariably, light- either with artificial light (usually electric), or natural light (From the Sun, including the portion reflecting off the mood). Humans rely on their sight to the point their productive output is in jeopardy with reduced vision, so having light in the equation is a huge advantage. There's more hours of sunlight overcharging plants, powering them up, letting them be faster growing and more fit- reproductively fit that is. Earth Science should have mentioned the light thing. I don't remember if my Earth Science included botany and agricultural history, but darn it should have.
The taro used at the imoni party was grown by farmers as a relief crop. It was originally a food to be eaten when the harvest of rice and other crops was low. If there is a good harvest of rice, there will be no need to save up potatoes. Therefore, a party was born to celebrate a rich harvest and eat this sweet potato. That continues even today.
Never though they’d use butter lube but this is honestly amazing. The amount of work they put into this and it’s comes out so beautifully not to mention actually tastes good.
Seeing the people of the community come together to prep and make the food is heartwarming. This also made me hungry!

Yes, that was the coolest part of this whole video. When I heard them say that I knew these people were seriously committed.
That is some serious commitment.
best part

That’s exactly where I paused the video and went to the comments. Bless your soul lol

I couldn't agree more!
Agree! More good content please
For real! The fast food comparisons are so boring

On point . I agree

How japanese always comes up with cute idea like this is beyond me. And to execute it on such large scale is nothing but amazing. 👏👏👏

Most do, in just their own unique ways, usually in a way that reflects their culture. Ain't that unusual.

Tedious, yes. But it's probably very profitable, if they're selling 30K+ bowls of soup!
@@BlissBatchi dont think this are sold, even the narrator stated served not sold.
Its a community thing so their tax is being used for this.
@@greatninja2590 Nah its a sponsored thing, considering the amount of company logos plastered around the festival

The Japanese people are incredible when it comes to innovation! It’s also amazing how they do everything with care and passion.
now this is truly one big batch
One huge helping
Massive meal
Tremendous Serve

Never change Japan.
A Country with Hundred of festive! I really impressed how they having festival like, "No matter where is it, i interested and i'll go"
I'm convinced there's nothing Japanese can't do. Also their food art is something else.
I love when they pray for good of everything.

As a technical person I wondered about the equipment, pretty cool that they thought about it. I love Japan
Japanese festivals are so nice.
I wish we could do nice community things like that where i live.
It seems so uniting
This got me thinking of my old lord Oden from Wano era. Rip GOAT.
Food really is a great uniter of communities, preparing it and eating together. I love it! I wish there wasn't so much plastic used, but the world still has a long way to go in that regard...
Such a crazy idea 💡 yet it worked well with the huge team effort ❤.

So this is where Kozuki Oden got the bowls for his giant odens, he stole the first two.
I love a bowl of hot soup at a festival in reasonably warm weather...very easy to eat on the go too...
I'm Amazed of how they could work together well, and preparing the festival, without cause any havoc...
only in japan I can trust my food to be made sanitarily.
India left the group.
The Japanese are an amazing people.
@@lian7217the chinese too. Lol

Doesn't matter. Since it's Japan, you can trust in their ability to pull this off.
Next time they should make a giant mochi😸😋
Mochi mochi 😋
That would be so hard 💀
Ah, Japanese culture, i love you people
Nice Recipe, I will make this for dinner tonight 💪🏾
Japan stay doing stuff that’s considered greatness 😊❤️

And flock of birds to fly right over it 😂😂😂
I can't be the only one nervous about birds flying overhead and taking a poop in the cauldron.
It's all about dilution, a little poop spread over all that liquid, not too big a deal, also it's boiling so most of the bad stuff will get killed
also the big wooden lid
Also, it adds flavor.
Compared to all the plastics involved in the process, a bit of bird poo is a negligible health concern.
bruh who thinks of gross shit like this
芋煮の地域じゃないからまだ食べたことないんだけど、めちゃくちゃ食べてみたい😋
芋煮といえば醤油味のイメージだけど、これはお味噌？でも赤出汁の地域じゃないよね🤔
that one guy reaching his hands around near the rim of the giant boiling cauldron has balls of steel
i think it would be harder to not go there, i imagine everywhere within 30 miles can smell that soup! i can smell it through the screen and i wanna go!!
My wife would empty that bowl alone while preparing some dinner.
I really enjoyed this video. I would volunteer to help make a giant soup, it looks delicious.
Cute 🍲
I would love to see this happen. So cool.
Both food and cars japan is the greatest nation
Such a nice tradition.
О, буду теперь слать это видео, когда кто нибудь вспомнит про блины на лопате)
If this was done anywhere else there would be hydraulic fluid inside the soup 😂😂
Hirosaki has the world’s largest apple pie every year. Japan knows how to do festivals.
That's one heck of a group project, I want some of that soup
美味しそうー。機会があれば行ってみたい
Godzilla's soup bowl
As an extra touch, they could run the excavators on reused cooking oil as well as lubricating with butter.
Love Claudia, she seems to sneak up anywhere there is something yummy.
Seems like a great logistical exercise that's fun and cost effective. Probably can use this format for emergency relief.
You HAVE TO LOVE the japanese
I love the Big Batches series!
Amazing. Lubing an excavator with butter is ingenious.
Hopefully it wasn’t salted butter, for the machines’ sake.
2:29 Those are easily some of the largest green onions I've ever seen. They are the green onions I tell the ones I get at the store, not to worry about.

what a wonderfull documantary. thank you!
When your soup ladle becomes an excavator bucket you've taken your craft to a new level.
Workers next week: Why do our excavators seem to be attracting bears?
imagine if a bird poops in the soup bowl
Shhhh! Secret ingredient 😉
Wow the famous bird soup
Nobody will notice 😂
imagine birds fly over and ...
Do they break their record each time?
Probably going to start going down soon as Japan's population is declining by 650k a year.
Even though its massive it looks so clean!
Wow to think Sanji can make a pot like this by himself.
Good god, love this channel
I’m starting to think “Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town” got their event idea from this.
Dude the Harvest Moon is a Full Moon occuring in early Autumn when the moon is so bright farmers of centuries ago (and millennia ago, for that matter) could harvest summer crops well into the night. The Harvest Moon was, and remains, an annually occurring period of higher natural light illuminated by the Sun's radiation bouncing off the Moon.

I don't remember if my Earth Science included botany and agricultural history, but darn it should have.
this seems so surreal yet it is real
All this for a story tradition? That's why I love Japanese people ❤
The difference between the Japanese and the Indian Big Batches are insane. The former looks so clean and organised
Team effort is always beautiful to see.
BUTTER AS GREASE?! YEEEEEEEE
The taro used at the imoni party was grown by farmers as a relief crop.
It was originally a food to be eaten when the harvest of rice and other crops was low.
If there is a good harvest of rice, there will be no need to save up potatoes.
Therefore, a party was born to celebrate a rich harvest and eat this sweet potato.
That continues even today.
So this is what chefs under Big Mom pirates do on a daily basis to feed Big Mom.
All it takes is one bird flying over the cauldron at the right time....
Looks hot as hell to be eating soup. Everyone's fanning themselves.
Maybe they should have it in the winter time.
CaseOh: "'Tis but a snack."
not just that they take care of hygiene but also their teamwork😯😯👍👍
Serves 12000 people, title: 30 000
They are preparing to feeding Godzilla 👍
I miss videos that enrapture you and add a cultural memory forever in 7 minutes
