How Japanese Chefs Feed 30,000 People With World's Largest Bowl Of Beef Imoni Soup | Big Batches

- Every autumn, Japan's largest imoni-kai, or imoni soup party, is held in Yamagata City. At the center of the celebration is a 4-ton, 6.5-meter-wide pot that holds enough soup to feed 30,000 people.
For more than a century, imoni soup parties have been held in the Yamagata Prefecture to celebrate the changing of seasons from summer to autumn. Always cooked outside, these soups also have one defining ingredient, taro root, known as satoimo in Japanese.
We visited the largest imoni soup party in Yamagata City to see how the imoni is prepared in such big batches.

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
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
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.
That’s exactly where I paused the video and went to the comments. Bless your soul lol
5:00 machinery being lubricated with butter is something I never thought I'd hear
5:15,
@@stevethea5250 Seems a little farfetched, but funny
@@ayreface1it's not
Only on scoop parts. Not for machine or hidraulics system
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
"Disassembled, cleaned and re-lubricated with butter" Mmm mmm tasty engineering!
Japanese hygiene and organized process to execute all their work is simply wonderful. Even their slums are cleaner than thousand of other countries cities
They just try extra hard at everything they do so we forget about WW2 a Japanese told me

Hygiene? a bird 100% shit in this soup
@@UUT4Schatgpt would have better english
Seeing the people of the community come together to prep and make the food is heartwarming. This also made me hungry!
This is by far the cleanest preparation of big batch of meal I've watched
Indian grandpa?
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
I wish they didn't have to serve in all those single-use plastic bowls, though
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
I love the energy of everyone, great people and one great bawl. Beautiful
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. 👏👏👏
Now this is good content. Pls no more us vs uk burger king or whatever. Show us more of this, and have everything narrated by Claudia.
I couldn't agree more!
Agree! More good content please
For real! The fast food comparisons are so boring
📍
On point . I agree
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.
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.
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
@@cman8995 it can be both part of it is taxed and part of it are donations from company
@@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
This is incredible, big respect to all the chefs and volunteers! You truly do a valuable and amazing job!!
The Japanese people are incredible when it comes to innovation! It’s also amazing how they do everything with care and passion.
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.
Most do, in just their own unique ways, usually in a way that reflects their culture. Ain't that unusual.
@@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
@@littlewigglemonster7691 it's cool because they do it right and the level of hygiene is surprising
I love how they manage to be so clean and organized. Even the people are so respectful of the environnement, we can see it by how they seat and walk.
now this is truly one big batch
One huge helping
Massive meal
Tremendous Serve
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.
Dear lord that is one big Bowl to cook with.
I admire the Japanese for they effort of making food on this large scale.
On some festivals I went we get just packaged food or read to eat food.
But this is on a whole other level of authenticity.
I really should visit Japan someday to explore and see things I've never seen.
There are videos of Indian doing big foods too and more much larger than this is really impressive!! BUT sadly not clean as japanese and GROSS the video I watched was cement feet and rust all over their bucket 🤢🤮
The entire process and gathering families, friends, and everyone else is welcome, is so amazing! 😊❤
I want to go here and try this soup!
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.
Never change Japan.
wow! thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching these food videos and it's exciting the way it is prepared.
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"
Seeing something cooked in a (super) big batch while keep it clean is just.... Satisfying
whats stopping a bird from shitting in it?

This video filled my soul. Thanks Insider Food.
Such a crazy idea 💡 yet it worked well with the huge team effort ❤.
Thanks for sharing this extraordinary experience with us ❤👏♥️👏♥️
This is just awesome!! Would love to come to this some day!!
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
I love when they pray for good of everything.
This is amazing work. Great teamwork to make an amazing soup. It looks very delicious.
I love how Japan constantly finds new wholesome ways to surprise me.
Surprising the whole world 🌎 🌍
ok. dont forget their atrocities against chinese people in ww2, the indonesians, the koreans, etc. also look up unit 751 japan. then now how wholesome are they? they were worse than the nazis
I love the Big Batches series!
I love your guys’ vlogs. Keep up the great work of sharing the world with those not fortunate enough to see it all🙏
I'm convinced there's nothing Japanese can't do. Also their food art is something else.
Nice Recipe, I will make this for dinner tonight 💪🏾
The Japanese are the cleanliest and methodical people when it comes to cooking aren't they.
Very cool project, a tremendous preparation work.
DAYUUM!!!! That's a big azz bowl!!!
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 😍
Loved the video 😊❤
This is amazing!
My colleague used to work at Yamagata.
He went to Imonika with his customers.
During that, they could spend time with like friends.
Imonikai is like their home.
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.
Now this may be the only reason i want go to Japan 😁😁
What a celebration of culture and community! If this was in America it would be commercialised or connected to a sporting, musical or political event.
Music festivals should try this cooking method..... it will attract even more people to the festivals to see the large cauldron being fired up and something special being cooked inside.
i can imagine Tomorrowland having something like this … that will be epic~!
you cant have Europeans or Americans around that kinda thing.. they would start throwing each other in the cauldron thinking its a pool
Absolutely lovely and wholesome!
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’ve been to this festival!
The diggers running lubricated with butter is such crazy touch but makes sense for food safety
what a wonderfull documantary. thank you!
Team effort is always beautiful to see.
This got me thinking of my old lord Oden from Wano era. Rip GOAT.
I would love to go to japan and have giant bowl of soup tbf
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.
This is awesome!! I want to go!
So this is where Kozuki Oden got the bowls for his giant odens, he stole the first two.
I know it's not much but thank you for pronouncing their names properly. 🤗
I would love to see this happen. So cool.
Everything is so clean. Japanese culture is great.
Looks like such a tasty soup!!! Titans would love such a meal
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
@@christcombiccombichrist2651Nah. Not for the last 70 years.
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 CZcamsrs. If anything, I would love for this video to be longer👏🏻👍🏻😃
Great video ! I want some soup !
Cute 🍲
Next time they should make a giant mochi😸😋
Mochi mochi 😋
That would be so hard 💀
this is sooo dope i want to watch this done live.
I ❤ everything about this. My students are learning the Sōran Bushi for a PBL Presentation. Japan is on my "must visit" list.
Now let's see big batches of food made in India. The difference in hygiene is day and night.
Food hygiene standards in Japan and India are unbelievable. Both would leave you speechless.
Difference being that the Indians can take the punishment while he Japanese cannot
@@xninewxw7559 Shitting your guts out on the street after every meal isn't something to brag about really.
@@kachel313 you right
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.
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.
Impressed by how clean and sanitary the Japanese are for something of this scale
My wife would empty that bowl alone while preparing some dinner.
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
great video
Good god, love this channel
Both food and cars japan is the greatest nation
Godzilla's soup bowl
Japan stay doing stuff that’s considered greatness 😊❤️
As a technical person I wondered about the equipment, pretty cool that they thought about it. I love Japan
soup
imagine if a bird poops in the soup bowl
Shhhh! Secret ingredient 😉
Wow the famous bird soup
Nobody will notice 😂
I love a bowl of hot soup at a festival in reasonably warm weather...very easy to eat on the go too...
Ah, Japanese culture, i love you people
Imagine if a human falls into that giant bowl when the broth is boiling hot

So, we meet again JohnStein0057.
I thought we went our separate ways in the JapanEat comments section
Do they break their record each time?
Probably going to start going down soon as Japan's population is declining by 650k a year.
Such a nice tradition.
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 🙂♥
Thats amazing ❤
Amazing
This is awesome, we should do this here
Love it ,
Amazing.
I'm Amazed of how they could work together well, and preparing the festival, without cause any havoc...
美味しそうー。機会があれば行ってみたい
I really enjoyed this video. I would volunteer to help make a giant soup, it looks delicious.
It's funny 🤣 how technology plays a significant role in food preparation!! And when your looking to feed a magnitude or a large excessive quantity of people then having something like this might just come in HANDY 👍🏽!! The soup 🍲 looks absolutely delicious 😋!! Great 😃 Video and Thanks for Sharing🧡🤍🎇🤍🧡
