Amanita Muscaria is the variety you seek. I believe it's endemic to siberia. It's also poisonous, so probably not a great idea to eat them. If you wanna feel 10 feet tall, you're probably better off just wearing somebody else's glasses.
Right! They’re mysterious. I was the same - until I came to Japan! It’s just such an important ingredient in cuisine here that it’s good to know them and they’re super healthy!
Mom and I loved this!! She was telling me about how she would go looking for mushrooms when she lived in Minakami. She would go to the mountains near Fujiwara in the fall and pick mushrooms with her friend who ran Minakami onsen. Thank you so much for your episodes! We both miss Japan and are hoping to make one more trip if she stays healthy enough to travel....she will be mid 80's ❤
@@anand.raveendran oh wow! I hope people come to watch 🙏 that’s why creators create. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll work hard to get the word out myself.
Love how gracious the JRstaff were at the end. I guarantee that if Mushroom Stand had all those varieties, they’d have to change their name to “Mushroom Kingdom”. No Bowsers welcomed! 🤣🤣🤣
The JR Staff was so kind and helpful. They spoke English too - a big change from 20 years ago when I first came here. HAHA! When I see the CEO again, I will mention it - I'd like to try more mushrooms there. He gave us some soup to take home which Kanae loved!
ONLY in JAPAN * John Daub That’s a guarantee of more future business in my book. Just wish I wasn’t allergic to mushrooms. But the sound when they were in the fryer...that was a beautiful sound.
The sheer variety of mushrooms is amazing! So many ways to enjoy their flavor. You really had to trailblaze to get to those coveted spots. Well shot and paced. Really enjoyed this John! 👍🍄
Hey John, I appreciate you making a video on mushrooms. Mushroom cultivation and scavenging is definitely an interesting topic! Japan has a lot of the "best" edible mushrooms the world has to offer.
I love this new show! I want some Japanese mushrooms now!! Thank you for showing us all the work that goes into these perfect bites of pleasure from Japan!
At university when I was an undergrad, our prof said to collect mushrooms in a mesh bag or something similar so the spores can be distributed whilst trudging through the woods. This was fascinating, John!
Postcard for commenters! Thank you @DrealSeix @ThePowerStation @ThomasL @Ai chan (あいちゃん) and @LeiaM - send me a message with your address on Instargram mail instagram.com/onlyinjapantv and I'll send you one. Commenting, liking and sharing really helps the channel grow! Thanks again everyone for making Japanese Mushrooms a little more special this week. Much love from Tokyo, John & Kanae too
We thank you very much for your work. You really are making a very good job at what you do! My husband and I talk all the time about your ability to keep up long live streams which isn't easy at all! Keep up the good work! Stay safe both you and Kanae :)
I Love to eat Mushrooms to cooking Mushrooms it is good Mushrooms and the have in SuperMarket at the Store you can see the Mushrooms in the grass they can Gowns in the grass you can pick up the Mushrooms on the grass and you can cooking Mushrooms it Good and the have Mushrooms Pizza 🍕 it so good the Pizza Mushrooms trying the Pizza Mushrooms you can eat the Pizza Mushrooms trying it now it so good pizza Mushrooms.
Mushrooms: exist Japan: it’s free real estate So many varieties! The Matsutake could cost one THOUSAND per kilogram? That’s crazy. Learned so much about mushrooms
very cool idea for a video! as mushroom enthusiast I am glad you enjoy them as well and bring light to the subject! never tried many of these japanese ones!
John’s background song choices in these videos are always gold! You’re talking about the vegetation and I’m here bopping to the background song because I remember this song
I really like these special videos, they help deepen my appreciation and understanding of Japan. I used to accompany my grandparents when they would collect wild pine mushrooms.
As always, thank you for such an informative video. you can learn from your videos things you cannot find anywhere else about in japan!! thanks again John!
Fascinating video, John! It was nice to follow the mushrooms from the ground/farm to the market to consumption. From someone like me who does not usually like mushrooms, even I would find it tempting to try the assortment of freshly picked mushrooms shown here.
John you rock dude! I remember suggesting something like this a while ago and almost forgot, but not you! You went and made an amazing informative and relaxing video. Always well researched, always high quality content. Thank you.
I really enjoy your farm to table series John! I’m So glad you’ve continued it. I know food videos always do well, but it’s super important that we understand we everything comes from. I didn’t know there were so many varieties of mushrooms either in Japan, no wonder they’re so relevant in some of the video games lol. I really love portabella mushrooms as slices on top of a burger or stuffed and baked on an oven. They’re a bit expensive though! I’m so excited to see more food and farm stuff!
You should give the mushrooms a few light taps before picking them, if possible. This causes the mushroom to drop spores and lets more mushrooms grow back at the same spot after you've picked them. =D
So happy to see new videos from you! I like the new animation at the beginning. You make me wanna be in Japan in every video I watch of yours. I love how informative they are and I can just feel the enthusiasm and joy you have for what you do. Thank you so much! Peace&Love&Light ☮☯️🕉
What a great vid, you are so sweet with the Japanese people. I admire you for the quality of your work trough out the years. More of these infotanement vids rather than the 'all you can eat' ones please. ☺️ Well done John!! ✨
Wow! Love this farm to table video on mushrooms in Japan. I have always been fascinated with foraging in Japan. particularly all the mushroom varietals. There are so many in Japan. We need to see more videos like this John @ONLY in JAPAN * John Daub
I enjoyed watching this last night on my iPhone. Watching it again on a desktop computer with a large screen was even more enjoyable. I am not a mushroom person, but your video makes me want to try some of these when I am in Japan again.
Nice video John! I'm no vegetarian, but I'd love too see more videos that present meat-free food. When it comes to Japan, there are tons of meat-free OKAZU, so dishes that you add to rice. For example Tsukemono which are probably the most traditional food that you can find in Japan!
I hope you take this the right way, but this video has a very comforting unpretentious NHK feel to it. Great job, John. You are a super-relatable TH-camr with a hardcore 'blue collar' work ethic it seems. Can't wait for the next notification. All the best. Stay safe.
I have been a NHK World reporter since 2008 for a few shows. I like to think I push the ball forward though. I want people to sit back and enjoy, learn something and feel like they've been on an adventure. Make Japan approachable and fun.
@@onlyinjapan I think the best way in which you do that is by virtue of your personality coming through. Indeed, an NHK Vibe might be there, but it's totally your own unique approach to such a presentation. I'd sooner watch something you produced than anything similar on NHK. While I enjoy the educational aspect of your episodes, as I do theirs, I like how you take chances. cheers, John.
I was binging the other channel and saw that you weren't apart of it anymore. Figured I'd look to see what you are up to now and I am really glad to see you are still making your quality videos. You have such a great personality for this, so I'm just happy to see you're still doing what you do best.
Excellent video as usual, John! Felt the kinokos’ cooking aroma... and already forgotten the pigeon’s being loose at your livestream, lol! 🤣 (📨🎎 onegai!)
Where's the mushroom that allows me to grow twice my size?
😂 🍄 < right here?
Lol 🍄

So funny 🤣
I will always appreciate John’s production value and the care he puts into each of his videos
Really, he is a true artist
Amen
Same, he takes care in so much.
Always has been
These are straight up TV documentary level content! Thank you John!
I don't even like mushrooms that much, but there is always something fascinating about them AND it's a lot of fun searching for them!
Right! They’re mysterious. I was the same - until I came to Japan! It’s just such an important ingredient in cuisine here that it’s good to know them and they’re super healthy!
The more bright and colorful they are, the better they taste.
Mom and I loved this!! She was telling me about how she would go looking for mushrooms when she lived in Minakami.

I have a Russian background and mushroom hunting is what we do back home! We have so many varieties :-). I spotted some of them in this episode.
Totally inspired to make 'shroom nabe and tempura now! 😋🍄 🍲
cant find most of these 15 mushrooms in my supermarket tho...
So many mushrooms! So interesting... and you’ve got to love a good JR pass! 🚅🔖
How come no one is leaving a comment? Marty, you're the first and in elite territory! (Thanks!)
@@onlyinjapanGO it just uploaded now for me? 😂
Hi JD i just got notification!! Bug bug?
@@anand.raveendran oh wow! I hope people come to watch 🙏 that’s why creators create. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll work hard to get the word out myself.
I miss Japan a lot.. Been there 7 times. Would love to visit again. One day..
Been there 0 times...... broke gang
@@robng9064 I hope you’re working and saving money since we can’t travel much at all during the pandemic.
Hopefully next year. Japan is already working on a solution for Tourists. vaccines are also roduced and some Countrys started already with it.
I watched this again after I saw the new mushroom livestream. Very informative.
Love how gracious the JRstaff were at the end.

Thank you for this video. Really like mushrooms so this was very enjoyable!
Underated video. Mushrooms need some love.
I love eating mushrooms, this would have been mushroom galore for me. Quality, informative and mouth-watering video. Thanks again John!
Now i know why creator of "Super Mario" made Mario eat mushrooms to gain superpowers.
So true!!
where did he get the idea of hitting turtles with a hammer?
@@jamesanderson3088 Perhaps after eating mushrooms? ;)
Oh my gosh! That is such a good point!
@@KenMyrheim lmao
Hey John, I appreciate you making a video on mushrooms. Mushroom cultivation and scavenging is definitely an interesting topic! Japan has a lot of the "best" edible mushrooms the world has to offer.
Great video John makes me hungry now for fresh mushrooms.
This makes me miss Japan. I was planning to visit this past summer.
I love this new show! I want some Japanese mushrooms now!! Thank you for showing us all the work that goes into these perfect bites of pleasure from Japan!
4:13 "Is it grape flavored?" Nice joke that didn't get appreciated enough by the lady :)
Ferment them into wine!
At university when I was an undergrad, our prof said to collect mushrooms in a mesh bag or something similar so the spores can be distributed whilst trudging through the woods. This was fascinating, John!
I love mushrooms! I must visit Yamagata! So many places on my list! Ahhh! Thanks for the video John!
Perfect timing to watch breakfast to! Excellent episode!!! I love this show so very very much.
I have become such an avid lover of your videos that I now like the video every time before watching it. :)

I started watching your videos when I was deployed in Okinawa. Your videos have helped me through some tough times. THANK YOU.
Thank you for your service! ☺️
Mushrooms: exist
Japan: it’s free real estate
So many varieties! The Matsutake could cost one THOUSAND per kilogram? That’s crazy. Learned so much about mushrooms
The Matsutake is only at its best during a very limited amount of its lifecycle. Too young, and it's bland. Too old, it's bland.
very cool idea for a video! as mushroom enthusiast I am glad you enjoy them as well and bring light to the subject! never tried many of these japanese ones!

thanks john for the informative video on mushrooms.
“that burger is talking to me" , me too John, me too!
🍔🤤 it talks to us all too often hahaha
Fascinating video, John! It was nice to follow the mushrooms from the ground/farm to the market to consumption. From someone like me who does not usually like mushrooms, even I would find it tempting to try the assortment of freshly picked mushrooms shown here.
You absolutely never cease to amaze me with your story telling and educational information about Japanese culture. Thank you.
I started watching this right after lunch and now I am feeling hungry again🍴🍲
This is my favourite sort of Only in Japan episode 👍😆
You know you're American when it's the burger that calls to you, lol.
Your videos never disappoint in quality John boy!

I've begun liking mushrooms more and more in the past few years, and this entire video had my mouth watering. Great work again, John.
I'm so glad you're back making these style of videos!
The scenery is incredible! The leaves colors and the terrains are gorgeous.

I love mushrooms and I loved this episode! Excellent, as always! 💞
Had no idea there were so many mushroom types in Japan! Thanks John!!
Perfectly shot!
Another great and interesting video about a topic I never had on my radar. Thank you for the insight!
I'm getting some mushrooms for my next meal :D
I appreciate this video the effort is real.. thanks john
Great video John :)
In this episode:
John gets kidnapped by a Tengu
You should do an episode on Japanese seagrapes, I'm interested in how they're prepared!
I love mushrooms!. Thanks for sharing.

This is seriously high quality content. Thank you John!
John it was a great video and enjoyed it very much .Video shows how much you care about what you produce
a truly rewarding experience for those who know mushrooms...
Thank you so much for the information, I am fans of any mushrooms 🍄

紅葉が綺麗ですね。のどかな東北の映像癒されました。ありがとうございます!
Hey John, We love you guys ❤️ Thanks for the content
Awesome job John I love mushrooms

I didn't have mushroom in my viewing schedule but glad I fit this in. LOL!
I absolutely loved that purple mushroom. Soooo pretty!! 💜
Nice vid John!!! I love mushrooms
Thanks John! I love foraging mushrooms as a kid with my family on fields, hays and under banana trees. Love this!
Appreciate the hard work! Keep telling these awesome stories!
A chorus of mushrooms in Japan Is love♥️. Watching your only in Japan *go, about mushrooms 🍄 inside the supermarket. Amazing 😉 John‼️👏👏👏👏👍
Awesome video John! Nothing like the original Only In Japan 🇯🇵
Wow! Amazing video and content. I've been watching Go! but this one's also awesome!!!
i luv mushrooms....thanks for sharing...
Still the best Japan travel video that I like. Liked, subscribed and enabled notification!
I shouldn't have watched this before dinner. I am sooo hungry! 😆

I came from the IG livestream!! I love eating mushrooms 🍄! Thank you for making this video 👍
Thank you Meybel. You're welcome and comment again next video and I'll pick 3-5 more people for postcards! -john
Never thought there was such a thing called Mushroom Hunter. Wow, Japan never fails to amaze me. Those mushrooms look so yummy.
I want that in my business card! That would be so cool to hand people - John Daub, Mushroom Hunter 🍄
That mushroom burger looked delicious.
It was (burp) 😂
Hardy, peaceful, are
Those that wear caps in the woods,
Like mushrooms... and Jon!
Nice haiku!
Thanks for your hard work John, you are always my first watch when I get home after a long day. Keep it up!
