Thank you for letting me visit your home and allowing me to sit at your table for awhile. Funny kids same all over world mine don't want home cooking would rather eat fast food, oh well that means more for us. Best wishes to you and your family. Mark from Texas
I have some mountain plants or flowers in my garden to see. I have tried more than 10 kinds of wild plants to eat. But now I take 4 or 5 kinds to eat which are tasty enough. Thanks.
Just wondering. What is your favorite plant family to eat? For example: Mint family, (like peppermint, nettle, oregano, monarda, melisa, thyme); Mustard family, apiaceae family (like celery, carrots, dill, and parsley families) or even rose family (rose hips, peach, pear, apple, cherry, many stone fruits) Which families of plants are most common in Japan? (I'm from the U.S.A. so I have no idea) Also, do the Japanese use any plant based medicines and if so, what are some of those?
I love this video; thank you very much for posting it. You live in a beautiful place and have a beautiful family, I feel envious. Good thing I found your channel, it rocks.
Looks like a delicious meal, that was 8 years ago. Hope you have a very happy life and know that you are a piece of internet treasure for some. I have watched your videos from time to time for at least 5 years. Please keep the videos coming and have a happy new year.
I like your videos on knives and flashlights, but i love this type of video even more, its great to see the interactions between you and your family. All your videos are informative and i learn something new from each one of them. So thank you very much
I used to go with my uncle in upstate NY to get these same plants. Our family comes from Sicily in Italy and we called these "gardoona" or "cardone", the locals that saw us taking them referred to them as "skunk cabbage". My mother used to do it the same as your wife, boiling and the peeling the strings off, and then she would batter then in eggs and pan sear them.
I quite often visit the north part of Hokkaido. It is Esashi town there. I love Kumamoto very much because of its beautiful nature and hot springs. Thanks.
Virtuovice, your videos are great. I like all the hunting, sharpening, and especially the cooking videos. It is interesting to see the differences in american and japanese culture.
Your English is very well spoken. I want to speak English as fluently as you do in the future. My girl is growing very fast in these days. She is 14 years old. Thank you!
Wako my friend, I love your videos very much!!!!! I love your outdoor videos. I am looking forward to your fly-fishing camping video. God bless you and your wonderful family. John
Yes. The bells alert brown bears. I live in Sapporo city and I can drive all over Hokkaido island in my truck. Within 7 hours I can reach every corner of this island. Thanks.
The bells are bear bells, to tell the bear where you are so you do not accidentally sneak up and surprise one. Great video Wako that meal looks delicious!
Very reason I mentioned it for Wako. These are great tools I have used also in harvesting, mushrooms & plants in the wild to snipping veggies off clean in the garden. Thanks for your comment reply!!
In my rough estimation we have 5.000 brown bears here and 500 are hunt every year. They have been kind of protected for around 20 years and are increasing now. Thanks.
What a coincidence! I just bought a spyderco and opinel knife for my father to do this pruning in the garden! I got him the Opinel pruning knife and the Spyderco Spyderhawk H-1 blade.
the countryside in your area is so beautiful! I would love to travel to there but it is so expensive to travel to japan. The food looks delicious as always - I love those tiny mushrooms in the soup. I hope the flower you harvested takes well to your garden.
Awsome Video Virtuvoice ... I really like your cooking videos .... the green stalks remind me of celery wich have the same stringy outter layer .... anyhow love the cooking but cant wait for the hunting videos agian
You really are a pretty amazing guy Wako. If you ever decide to change career, I'd happily tune in to watch you on TV... Your videos, especially those with your lovely family, are an art form all on their own. Thank you for output of wonderful, educational and entertaining videos.
Какие же интересные люди, я бы пожелал чего нибудь на английском, да вот не так давно вполне сносно только понимать начал) Мечтаю посетить Японию, как только стану более независимым)
She loves Kyocera ceramic kitchen knife to cut vegetables because of its light weight. But when she needs power a bit to cut, she prefers Henckels SS knife. Thanks.
Aloha Wako san. This episode was educational as usual but also very entertaining especially your conversation with your adorable daughter. Everything on the table looked delicious. We have wild daikon, wild spinach, and fern shoots (warabi) here but my children did not like wild vegetables too much either. I LOVE all vegetable but especially wild vegetables I harvest myself. Domo arigatou for another great video. Aloha.
We seem to need many native English speakers for students. We have been adoring America even if we were defeated by America once in our history. We love Hollywood movies very much and they have made us very familiar to America. We have many American TV performers here. I believe you will be pretty comfortable here. Japanese culture will be unique and interesting for you. You don't need to have any anxieties to come and stay here. Thanks.
that was hilarious... honestly you have a great family. my son is 15 he acts the same. I love how you dealt with it by laughing at the situation. I wish I was eating that meal... looks fantastic!
Ceramic knife takes a convex edge very well. You convex it starting with a #400 water proof sandpaper and finish it with a #1200 paper and finally strop it. It will make a very sharp convex edge on it. Thanks.
Great video! I remember you had several requests for that venison soup recipe. I will have to make a trip to the Asian market to see if I can find some of those ingredients. Thanks man!
I love watching your videos, although it sometimes makes me feel voyeuristic. Thank you for sharing, teaching and making friends with us all. You make happiness!
@virtuovice Almost forgot, maybe look at a hook bill knife for cutting fruits & vegetables!!! Spyderco & Opeinal makes nice hook bills for things like this(gardening and such).
I really enjoyed this video. Are these the only wild edible plants you collect? Do you grown any edible plants in your garden, or only mountain flowers?
Thank you for letting me visit your home and allowing me to sit at your table for awhile. Funny kids same all over world mine don't want home cooking would rather eat fast food, oh well that means more for us. Best wishes to you and your family. Mark from Texas
I just love it as your wife giggles as you try to get a response from your daughter. Good family time.

Thank you brother for sharing your time with us with your family. It was nice to be at your table.
Awesome video! I love seeing you interact with your family.
You have very much talent in the outdoors but I have to say, your wife deserves a lot of credit because she looks to be a very talented cook.

Sika deer and Brown bear I can hunt there in autumn and winter.
