NOTES: The young man in the video is Sekine-san's son. It's a family business and he's the owner of the store. He gets help from local kids to plant the seeds so it's not just him out there :P He didn't use any known pesticides and there were some beetles and bugs in there but not many.

This is the thing about Japan. Every region big and small has unique products. China needs to do this in a much better way somehow. Because of the Cultural Revolution, this type of unique characteristics for each town is lacking. Not totally lacking, but the way the Japanese do this is totally a game changer. It's the attitude and respect that is hard to nurture. This is what localized regional marketing is all about. Watching your video shows how much respect for culture japan the people have nurtured. It's part of our the Japanese do things, and with globalization in most of the world, Japanese is truly going to stay unique.
Are you kidding? Corporate American has raised destroying local character into an art form. Check out the recent history of Dublin (Texas) Dr. Pepper. There's more money to be made by homogenizing and commodifying than the reverse. Plus, I hardly think Edamame is unique. Soybeans are perhaps the most widely grown crop in the world.
I really really like the way you talked and explained. I watched every episode that made. Huge thanks for your show. Keep it up and God bless you always!
John you have inspired us to visit japan. Before watching your videos Disney land was my favourite destination. But after watching ur videos now its Japan ❤
Very interesting, I've learned so many things about Japan from you, I'm grateful to you. Thank you for your excellent videos, they are very professional.

THe production quality of this channel is amazing1
You create clear, well created, easy to understand videos about Japan - Thank you! Your videos makes me feel like I'm there experiencing it. Only the very best for you!
Great episode! I really like how the show keeps evolving. The drone shots and even the dynamic cameras (cameraman?) that followed you in the interview go a long way to make the show feel even better. Amazing work!
thanks so much for this wonderful vlog, I love edamame but had no clue as to the varieties, types, farming methods...thanks! I'm now going to make my way to the freezer to grab that bag of microwavable edamame!!
You're very welcome and thank you for watching this episode on #edamame it was shocked at the number of varieties I didn't know after so long in Japan! Enjoy your edamame Marimo! -john
I was born and raised in Japan, I grew up eating Edamame every summer yet I didn’t know Edamame is Soybean no mae no dankai. Haha, your way of eating edamame is unique. Today I’m going to plant edamame and hope it will grow well this time. Kono video tukuttekurete arigatou! Nihongo ga umai desine!
I was introduced to "Edamame" this past week. I was a little turned off by the exterior. I thought to myself, "This cant be Good". Once I tried it..... I LOVED IT. I will be searching High and Low in my town for this delectable treat.
4 bucks for a packet is pretty expensive. In Sikkim we have a smaller variety of Edamame and it tastes really good. Farmers sell them boiled and it's really cheap but seasonal. Thanks so much for another great high quality episode. You always put so much effort and thoughts in your videos it's inspiring and admirable.
Lin Yiling you're right that it's not cheap but the cost of living and growing produce in Japan is quite high compared to India so we have to go with the market. They're SOLD OUT FAST at this price :p I'd love to try the ones in Sikkim! I wonder how they compare in taste.
Love Edamame as much as your show, its always fresh and tasty!(but your shirt is grungy, ha ha.) Keep up the great work! Hope to see you explore Sato island.
I can't remember how i came accross or discovered your channel or what's the 1st video i watched but it happened just last month. I've shared some of your vlogs on my facebook and some of my friends are now susbscribed to your channel as well. My ultimate dream since i was a kid is to travel Japan, hopefully it will happen soon. Thank you for doing this and thank you for showing the world the wonders of Japan and it's people 🇵🇭
Yay! Finally a traditionally "Only in Japan" style video! I love this style of video you make and that is what brought me to this channel originally. The Live and Vlog style videos are alright but I am a purest and love this style. I love the educational/informational value about Japan and Japanese culture shown in this format. I know you have been doing a lot more of the other style videos over the past few months and I have watched what I can (Live is hard to catch due to time differences). I know it takes a lot more time and effort to make this style vs. the Vlog style or Live videos but the quality in these is far above the quick and dirty Vlog style. Thanks for keeping these kinds of videos in your repertoire! p.s. I am a hamster style Edamame eater, too!
Instagram follower over here! As usual, great content. My maternal grandfather was a farmer in Mexico, he would take my cousins and I out to his fields to harvest edamame, we would boil them and eat them like you. Lovely memories ;)
Hi John, just watched the saved live stream in Instagram. Just love your channel, and your enthusiasm. The funniest video was the night festival where you were in the haunted house!! 😂😂😂😂 💖
Fantastic insight about this wonderful bean John. So I've learnt that soya beans are the 'adults' of edamame and never knew there were so many varieties, thought there was just the one. They're popular in UK but around ten years ago you could only find them on traditional Japanese restaurants. Thanks for another great film! 👍🏾😉
+firestar1728 so happy to hear from you!! Thanks for watching. This was a real pleasure to make! Right!! They're much easier to find now but it's hard to find good quality ones. The best are usually grown in your garden :)
Everytime I watch your videos, I always want to go back. I hope you get more subscribers so people can see the best of Japanese culture 👍 Greetings from Philippines
Frozus Skits I wouldn't say they're unhealthy as part of a balanced diet. If you're going to snack, this is the best! If they're grown by corporate farms with loads of pesticides and chemicals, absolutely not! The best is to grow your own :) chamame seeds are getting easier to find and depending on your local area weather, there's a seed that works!
Came from Instagram. Wished I could catch your lives more often on Instagram & your other TH-cam channel. Think I made it in time 2x only. Like always ❤️ your informational videos.
Chris Charistas thanks! Haha! There's no real correct way to eat it because I've been doing to hamster method -- and still do! More fun for me so follow your heart, just don't eat the pods!

ONLY in JAPAN This was great info! Thankyou😀🇯🇵
Are you japanese 🤨
I love how happy the elderly man is showing off his farm and his knowledge of the edamame, I can't wait to visit Japan myself one day
Sekine-san was so happy to talk -- and that made it so hard to edit this to just 12 minutes!! hahaha
You could upload an extended version of it on your second channel?
Same.
that is absolutely adorable... the elderly are Always so heartwarming
Hey, all people older than you are not elderly. Human life span is 140 years or more. Be respectful.
I love it when you let your host speak without interrupting them, you are the best!
maria edelyn Gunda hi Maria lets go in Japan. Do you have messenger? Glad to met here in TH-cam.
ジョンさんの動画はいつも誠実な感じがして本当に良いですよね。

@@snifey2233 I hate upvoting this, but, still, it's kinda funny, 'cuz the OP is falling in love with a Japan that doesn't really exist.

Everything in Japan village side looks pleasant and calm and not to mention the nice architecture and road structure.

My God..the quality of this video is soooooo good. Loved it
i like the way how you describe all the things in this video john!! keep it up!!
One of my favorite videos of yours has always been the wasabi growing one. Great to have more in that same vein :)
Hahahah the sound effects of the beans popping were so cute :) good choice!
Hey John !
I need more Japanese street food video!!!
Like, Taiyaki, and Imagawayaki.
Mikan Yuuki
I don't think so.
It tastes different.
However,
These foods are the same at containing Anko inside.
I really love salted edamame, thanks for this video John san 😄
I wish I have a job like John, traveling and making videos about Japan
thanks so much for this wonderful vlog, I love edamame but had no clue as to the varieties, types, farming methods...thanks! I'm now going to make my way to the freezer to grab that bag of microwavable edamame!!

セキネさんの説明が分かりやすいです。
いろいろ枝豆のことを勉強になりました。ありがとうございます。

I like edamame for sure, but now i will for sure appreciate it even more. So much dedication and hard work. One more reason to love Japan!!!
CatalinaCNV hiii
Edamame is my favorite snack! Thank you for letting me see how it's made!
Love your content, always enjoy the new videos on here and the livestreams. I've been subscribed for the past year 😁
I love edamme!! I always keep stock in my fridge!
I eat edmame like Sekinie-san too! That popping is really fun! As always, thanks for sharing such a great vid!

Great video! Edamame is my favorite snack as well.
The cold soup of the green soybean is great; is delicious.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. It's a joy to watch your videos with tons of information to take in. Thanks, John!
Love Edamame as much as your show, its always fresh and tasty!(but your shirt is grungy, ha ha.) Keep up the great work! Hope to see you explore Sato island.
I love that it's such a small, home-based product. It's very inspiring. Plus, I love edamame!
I like these video's they are interesting and a lot of things some of us won't be able to see or experience in our lifetime.
Edamame yum.......
It's also a very popular summer snack in China. We call it 毛豆(mao dou, literally translates to "furry bean").
Harry Lin hi harry LIN. how is going.. Its great to visit in Japan.
I love all yours videos. Next time I visit Japan. I will visit their farm.
First lol nice video Keep up the good work
Edamame is my all time favorite snack. So good with beer.

Just came back from Tokyo, really enjoyed my time there!
日本人としてこのような動画はとても嬉しいです！ありがとうございます:)
Hi John, just watched the saved live stream in Instagram. Just love your channel, and your enthusiasm. The funniest video was the night festival where you were in the haunted house!! 😂😂😂😂 💖
It's so satisfying to watch his video
枝豆って世界共通のもんだと思ってた‥
おいしーよね！
...i miss my grandparents old farm...they used to grow the edamame there...
I always like your way to make videos.. Good Job John
GREAT VIDEO........LOVED IT..... I LOVE edamame!!!!!!!
His passion is truly inspiring👍👍
I like the way he explains the conditions for growing Edame in different prefectures across Japan
Love your videos We learn all about Japan culture thank you
Fantastic insight about this wonderful bean John. So I've learnt that soya beans are the 'adults' of edamame and never knew there were so many varieties, thought there was just the one.

You're the best ambassador for Tourism Japan has.
Everytime I watch your videos, I always want to go back. I hope you get more subscribers so people can see the best of Japanese culture 👍 Greetings from Philippines
Sekine san is awesome.
when I went to vocational high school, I had an internship in edamame cultivation process. Its amazing. :3
I love this channel. ❤️
I am Montagnard indigenous adamame is my favorite we use to go to Japanese restaurant here in Charleston.
I love eating tasty slightly salted taste edamame
I love this man and his show!
Love edamame. Works with Japanese food plus lots of other meals as an appetizer or with a main course.
Hey, that's pretty good.
Happy little trees.
Bob Ross Bob! Love your show! Thanks!
HAHAHAHAHA!
Bob Ross are you sure your not idubbz in disguise?
idubbbz
I like your videos before I even watch them 👍👍
I liked your comment before reading it too!
Very interesting as usual John. Always looking forward to your videos.
Sometimes we can get them in "Japanese" restaurants here in Ireland.
The Best channel in the world is you
I ate it fresh in a small pub when i visited Hokkaido few years ago and it definitely goes very well Sapporo biru.
This is amazing! We are planning to grow them in our Allotment Garden next year! In the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I have just had the bean yesterday when eating sushi 🍣 it so good
The old man is so hardworking amazing japan
GJ John great video!
I would love to see u go to the many bape stores in Japan and learn and explore the culture and art behind the Japanese brand 😊
Awesome episode John.....
The edamame reminds me of a similar vegetable we eat raw at the East of Spain. I love them. And I tried edamame twice and are delicious.
I love edamame and this video is awesome ☺️
I remember eating edamame as a kid. It was legit my favourite food but my mom said they're unhealthy so I had to stop!
Frozus Skits Weird first time hearing a mom say veggies are unhealthy xD
Frozus Skits I wouldn't say they're unhealthy as part of a balanced diet. If you're going to snack, this is the best! If they're grown by corporate farms with loads of pesticides and chemicals, absolutely not! The best is to grow your own :) chamame seeds are getting easier to find and depending on your local area weather, there's a seed that works!
ONLY in JAPAN Hi :D
Frozus Skits there are people who think edamane is unhealthy yet they eat junkfood on weekly basis.
And then there are people who just eat anything they like, no matter if it's edamame, double bacon whoppers or lithium batteries. ^^
I love this channel
Came from Instagram. Wished I could catch your lives more often on Instagram & your other TH-cam channel. Think I made it in time 2x only. Like always ❤️ your informational videos.
Congrats for the really informative video. I really liked it and it's so easy to watch.
Oh , and also I just realized I ate edamame the wrong way 😂
Chris Charistas thanks! Haha! There's no real correct way to eat it because I've been doing to hamster method -- and still do! More fun for me so follow your heart, just don't eat the pods!
Imagine.
When you are watching Japanese fireworks 🎇,
with having Edamame and beer 🍻 .
Nothing could be better(≧∀≦)
Sir Yet another inspiring video to you. Now waiting for your 100th video sir John Daub. Hats off to you Again My GEOGRAPHY SIR
Love the music! Anyone know where it's from?
