A Homemade Meal . . . From a Vending Machine
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 07. 2017
- In Japan, vending machines generally sell beverages and simple, readymade provisions. But fresh curry over rice? You bet. Along a lonely stretch of highway in Awa-shi, Japan, you’ll find a rare vending machine selling tantalizing homemade meals. Even better? The vending machine owner, Tadashi Yoshimoto, grows the rice in every meal just down the road on his own farm. In a country that prides itself on the freshness of its food, Yoshimoto has set a new standard for readymade fare.

'As long as my body and my vending machine works, I will continue to do this'. Now that is some serious dedication

This man is 74 and still has spring in his step and seems full of energy.
He's doing something right.
Gotta live life to the fullest.
He's 76 now
It's his rice.
It’s happiness
Not trying to be racist or anything but almost every old asian man is full of enegry, mostly because most asian food is very healthy!
Hello! I’m Japanese.
As of July 2022, that curry is still sold for 300yen.
and yes, Mr.Yoshimoto-san continues this work with his wife. now he is around 80. even Japanese “wow”
no doubt he loves his job and people.
here’s my rough translation of an interview article with Yoshimoto-san in the Tokushima Shimbun news paper.
Mr.Yoshimoto, who was once a truck driver as well as a rice farmer, often used the rest-stops in another Town.
one day he began to wish he could open a similar resting place in his home town to please other truck drivers.
(At that time, 24h open stores which can serve foods was rare in the area.)
After that, in 1982, he filled a part of his rice paddy field and opened "Coin Snack Gosho 24".
Oh good I was wondering how he was doing
I’m really happy he’s still alive and doing what he loves.
Thank you for telling us about how he is.
Thanks for this comment 😊
Big thanks for letting us know!
Can you tell the place or the exact Google location please. Thank you
This man is 74 but he is still full of confidence and passion. Incredible work.

just putting my comment here
I wonder how old he is now

The portions of the rice and curry looks very generous compared to meals sold in convenience stores and fast food joint. Bless this man
@free democracy because while rice can make you fat mostly those that grow up eating it are fine, plus it's often cooked with just water. The rest is just mostly salt, and not too much fat. A hammer on the hand well, that thing will make you fat.
@free democracy it's the type of food you eat, too much fat. Plus idiots with loud and influential voices don't help.
you can tell this dude isnt doing this for money, but for feeding people
@free democracy I thought generally Americans are overweight? No offense. I've been to US and I found the portions are huge. Its also all the meat you guys eat and all that sugary food and drinks. It's beginning to be a problem in my country too.
@@elkapitan75 yeah, idk what this guy talking about, there's a ton of fat people in America because they just make it a habit to go and eat a ton of fast food everyday. Combination of overeating and eating unhealthy food with a lack of exercise.

@@farii__ Yea I know but that's litterly all he does, everything else is pre packaged

Bruh the most amazing thing is that he refills it twice a day. He doesn’t even just put them in and just leaves it. He actually CARES about his customers, and that’s incredible
Right?! You can just *feel* the love he puts in it. When they opened the curry at the end, I felt his care come through my screen. People would pay big money for that alone, and yet he also makes it a big portion that's still so affordable for everyone. Must be amazing to feel like you're getting a big hug from a beloved grandparent, from a vending machine meal. It makes me want to start one where I live.
Thank you for sharing this great big story with us. 💜
This made me happy and sad at the same time
Denise Cee why sad though ??
I feel the same. It feels like he does so much work and yet he might not get as much recognition as he deserves!
Disko H Just like you and me. Pointless feeling sad for that, I'm sure Mr. Yoshimoto is not sad at all, he looks pretty happy and determined to keep working.
Because you know it could never happen in the states.
Japan has all these crazy vending machines that if they were placed here, they'd be broken into overnight on the first day.
Disko H that was pretty straight
You guys need a little more recognition. The cinematography is *AMAZING*!!!!!
Agreed... fab editing as well.
D-MMA Compared to people who put little work into videos and get millions of views each video
Noah King you have 696 likes.
Noah King all the videos are way too short. I love them but always want more
Very nice eye on that. Let me put you in on one I might have caught. I love film no matter from where. I like Japanese movies and of course anime and after more than a decade of watching other cultures Ive gotten to learn how to pick up the structure of a sentence or what they're saying as well as inflections;
You're right the cinematography was nicely done, guerilla style. I liked the close up shot of the guys face in the early part of the video, cause it showed his cheerful eyes. The golly disposition was further enumerated by his slight absentmindedness of his age. 0:45 nanajuu is 70, he got stuck on his age and yon is 5, ka is established or "am I". Guy is so enjoying being in his own world, he doesnt care about death and doesnt recall his own age. It was funny when I caught that...I wouldnt mind that outcome for myself when I'm older lol
2:17 $2.27 for all of that... and it's fresh... wow. This man is an absolute hero to poor families. The world needs more pure souls like this man and his wife.
I never thought my life goals would include eating from a vending machine, yet here we are.
My thoughts exactly.
*“As long as my body and my machine works, I’ll continue to do it.”* 🥺 my heart.
That machine better not break damn it!! Lol

I will join you in this quest. XD He's so sweet.
Kurami agreed
Kurami ehh he might die in like 5-10 probably
If I ever go to Japan, I want to try this vending machine. ESPECIALLY the rice. Whenever I eat Japanese rice at a restaurant, I always make sure that I eat every single grain. I'm Japanese Canadian, and my Grandma tells me that this was a habit that my late uncle possessed as well. So I've made it my policy to eat the entirety of my rice to make him proud....
I’ve heard of this too among Asian cultures, especially if the rice is harvested by hand. 🤗
@@pauline5115 Yeah!
It’s simply bad manners to not finish the food you were given in Asian culture, it’s a respect thing. That also means they do not overindulge and buy more than they can eat therefore illuminating most waste, at least when eating in public
@@OverNightGamers Fair enough. Besides, who would want to waste Curry as delicious-looking as the one in the video?
When I was little I always left a lot of rice when I ate and then my mom said if you don't finish your rice you will be haunted for life. Even though I'm a teen right now, I still believe it😂
When I was traveling through Japan I bought 2 of them and had one on the way to the train and after a couple hours of the train and some traveling I heated it back up at the hotel for dinner. ‘‘Twas so amazing and a great hearty meal that kept me full that entire awesome day. Will never forget that lil vending machine in the middle of nowhere
Could you please tell me where i can find it? hope you still remember XD
Hi I have the same question. It would be nice if you could share the Google location for the same
He's a modern hero to our generation of broke students.
oh yeah
Pineapple 🍍 here’s a fruit for you
Pineapple unlucky because they’ll have to get it from Japan whole they’re in the USA
That kind of pricing for a meal felt like the norm when I was visiting. Japan has expensive real estate costs, but the price of daily expenses is super cheap (excepting gas for cars but then most Japanese people don't drive every day)
3$ can feed me for a whole day
That has got to be the cutest vending machine, grandpa, and truck I’ve ever seen
This guy is too pure to exist in this world, i'm just hoping someone could take care of that vending machine in the future to dedicate the man and so on it can be passed in numerous generations.
I'm going to Japan only for this man's curry.

I am impressed of how much tradition and honor goes into the japanese culture. It's like a way of life, being proud to do what you do, even if you will continue to do it every day following.
The real question is if he's making any money doing it versus the money and time he spends on it.
no its not, hes not in it just for the money, he cares about his work alot you can tell
b king did you mean "is that true then why does" ?

This is just beautiful. I love those who take passion in what they do and you can clearly see he has heaps of it
University/college campuses NEED this
YES YES YES! This guy would be a millionaire if he could get it on just a small group of college/university campuses around the world!
Sadly I doubt he's looking to grow his business since he's 74 and has been successfully doing it on a small scale for 40 years already.
Except US colleges would probably ruin it. Or they would complain about the gluten haha

makes sense instead of making a restaurant or paying someone at a convenience store
seal3081 Yah it really does. .. surprised it's not more common
its for the introverted
in rural Japan, this is the restaurant as running a dedicated shop is rather hard given there isn't much people living around it.
And waiting for it forever
It makes a ton of sense. $3 for a home cooked meal? It's $2.25 for a bag of dorritoes where i live, more if your in a busy location.
what a cool dude
I have nothing but absolute respect for this precious man. Hope his food is always appreciated!
Has to be the most wholesome thing I've seen in months, I love everything about this man and what he does
Imagine all the people who are able to eat proper meals because of this man and not crappy vending/ unhealthy food.
but this is crappy vending unhealthy food
@@dataphoenix8004 It’s fresh homemade rice and curry... what part of that is crappy and unhealthy?
@@fanaticentertainment4270 probably not crappy but probably unhealthy. Rice and curry is straight carbs and not the good kind
@@fanaticentertainment4270 The curry isn't fresh made, as you can see it's in a factory sealed packaging like those typical used for preserved foods. Also he only mentioned handmaking the rice, the video shows some sort of branded curry packaging with a factory stamped expiry date, guessing he buys those in bulk every now and then.

I have known of this man's existence for 2 mins and I already love this man as if he was my grandpa.
🙄
I think it should be illegal to dislike this video. There’s nothing but a wholesome man running perhaps the smallest most heartwarming vending machine.
Japan's use of vending machines is pretty smart, especially in this man's case. It would be more expensive and consume more space if he started a restaurant.
Even if he sold the curry and rice at a stand, he would have to man the stand himself, or pay somebody to do it. This is a cool idea.
Lol, Japan even has a vending machine for used panties. They're smart all right 😂
profit where you can. there's a market, they supply it. So yes, they are smart. Though.. not so sure there exists such a machine. Source!
MusingsofaJay♡ Yes, there are. Though the main consumers are mostly females that require a pair panties in an emergency
Bhawna03 A sex store in 90's had them inside his store. It doesn't exist anymore. It was never a common thing in Japan and most Japanese don't know such thing existed. I've only seen westerners talking about with smirk and that makes me so sick. If some individual's creepy behavior represent whole culture then what would American culture be? Abducting a child and molest them in basement for over 14 years? and people say "Lol, U.S even abduct children and molest them in basement. They are amazing all right 😂"
MusingsofaJay♡ Good point! Just type "vending machine panties" on youtube and you'll get a lot of videos on it. :)

I loved everything about this, especially the way the meal is sealed with simple plastic wrap and a piece of paper, hand taped.
So humble, so low-key.
I really do miss Japan.
I love those short neat stories, they simply...fit
I've been to Japan many times and am always impressed by the cleanliness and pride the people take in their communities. A vending machine like that in many US cities would be vandalized in short time.
It's actually in their native religion (Shinto). The problem is also we foreigners are "impure" (='kegare') for them, just like the garbage, sickness, immorality, or pregnant women around some shrines. That self-control just means they're venting somewhere else.

@Everything Is Burning Like Fire LMAO
JoybuzzahzTV what the heck man? He just said that they keep it very clean! He didn’t say that anyone else was dirty, it’s literally a known thing that Japan is a very clean country overall. Maybe stop your Christian damage control on here and go do some research.

Somehow I always find my way back to this video and it fills me with happiness.
I kinda now just wanna go to Japan and buy curry from that vending machine
Alisour The dinosaur I'm definitely going to find it when I travel after collage \(>,
Just buy the instant curry sold in Asian grocery stores. There is literally no difference. Japanese restaurants serve the exact same thing. It’s one of the few foods that virtually no upsides to being served in a restaurant
dxc I bet that even you know why he said he wanna go there to buy the curry from that vending machine (it is surely not because of the taste)
Reuven L, I'm guessing it's to chase a new, novel experience, that is really not new or novel. Any benefit you would get would be completely imaginary. I've been to many Japanese curry restaurants, cooked curry countless times, and love the shit out of it. If you look into how it's made, it's not surprising how the taste is very, very, very similar across every avenue it is served. I'm not trashing it. I'm actually a big fan of it. But it is what it is.
dxc The reason why most would want to even visit to buy from that particular vending machine is due to the fact that unlike the curry you get in restaurants or those instant curry, the curry from the vending machine is made by a 70 year old man, who works hard making a living off of the machine, making sure its not a harden/dry rice by refilling it twice a day, and uses his own rice that he also spent time caring for to make that curry. Yes the curry from restaurants and the instant curry does have the same/similar process at the curry in the vending machine, but to show appreciation for this man who spends the time and is dedicated to this, people would want to visit. Yes, you should also show gratitude to others who work just as hard to produce things we use, but the ethical appeal in this scenario is the main focus.
What a lovely episode.
You can say that a geen it kinda need me feel happy
