Farming Under the Sea for Japan’s Rare Delicacy
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- Seventy miles off the coast of mainland Japan is the small island of Okinawa, home to some of the most unique seaweed in the world. Mozuku is a rare underwater delicacy found off the mainland coast. Each fall, farmer Tadashi Oshiro uses a special technique to sustainably harvest the seaweed. His one-of-a-kind farming methods were passed down to him by his father, using a process that allows the mozuku to grow without creating additional waste. And although changes in the environment leave the future of mozuku uncertain, Tadashi continues to uphold his family’s legacy.

I teared up when he started to cry.😢 He really feels a deep passion for his profession and family heritage. We need more people like this man.
We have same problem like him, i come from fish farmer family. And because of polluted sea water, the fish growing slower.
welcome to 2018 my friend :I
I feel you
Extra Saucy welcome to 2020...
You mean mainly cuz of overfishing?
What a sweet man. A real treaure for Japan and indeed the world!
Just to clarify for yall non-Geography nerds out there: Okinawa is actually a group of islands that make up Japan's Okinawa prefecture. The largest (and most populous) island, Okinawa, is actually 400 miles off the coast of mainland Japan. This video confused that number with the length of Okinawa island, which is roughly 70 miles.
Nice sustainable healthy good for the environment
Wow! Nice sentence with every positive vocabularies
The reason for the re-upload was to correct the harvest figures @1:32.
Tosh T How do you know that?
+Seth D Because we had a discussion about it last night. Originally said 1,000-1,250 tons.
Good eye.
Ohhhhh ok then, anyways good talk dude
this video is so underrated !! huge props to him for growing the mozuku in a sustainable way that doesn't damage the ocean. nothing but respect and wholesomeness
This is the sea weed that prevents cancer.... this stuff is amazing!
Video don't MAKE ME CRY!
I'd eat a day's production in a day
As opposed to what, a not-day?
Yes, you’d weigh more than a car
Why are you here??? You are everywhere
fret he probably has multiple people using his account so he can do that
Alright, Justin, tell me, how many videos do you comment on a day?
Here in Morocco, we have the same seaweed growing on the beach but it's a dark red color, and my roof is now full of them for them to dry in the sunshine.
It is different the Morrocan one is Agar and is being harvested at rate where May become extinct.
Someone should farm it.
I truly love this channel, one of my favourite channels on youtube. Please keep the peoples stories coming!!
This is amazing. Very sad that the ocean has become what it is. I believe Japan holds the best and the most freshest ingredients on earth. Have not been there and would love to try a little bit of everything. Love love love Japan and it’s culture. Great video.
Where does Mozuku look for a job?… In the 'Kelp-wanted' ads.
I'm a sad white person ;-;
The Crazy octopus as a fellow sad white person, i found this mildly amusing
Cute
We have a lot of that kind and variety of seaweed in the Philippines.... My mom always puts coconut vinegar, salt, fish sauce, diced tomatoes, chopped ginger and chopped onions, and voila, you already have a seaweed salad.... Perfect for appetizers, makes you want to eat more and more specially during lunchtime....😊😊😊😋😋😋
💪ผมชอบการใช้ชีวิตของคนญี่ปุ่น เป็นระเบียบ อาหารการกินก็ดี ชอบมาก...🤟
That bamboo water slide is my next holiday project

What does spongebob smoke?
Sea weed
Waste regulation really needs to be establish for the countries that has factories produce the waste and dumps into the ocean really
3:21 that was gnarly. Imagine how salty that was with sea water!
Seaweed is saving the world.
I like sea so much
I want to try it! I hope farming continues!
beautiful story.
I seriously just cannot find this one documentary anymore. It was about Japan, mostly it's people, but also nature, like sightseeing places outside Tokyo. For example there was this one beach somewhere in the north(?) and also historical buildings.
Know this isn't exactly the time and place, but i feel like this farming stuff was also in it..and I recall this one dude from some village/small town who each year makes different things out of like flowers or rice or something..
Nice video as always! is it possible to know what gear you use ? im shopping cameras and lenses right now and im hesitation between sony a6500, a7iii, panasonic GH5 or Canon models. Any advice for shooting similar videos with a budget around the models i mentioned ?
Hi I love your vids

How come you can eat them raw? Isn't sea water contaminated?
This is reposted, isn’t it?
A wise man....

you have good eyes!!
"All you can eat buffet"!?
I wonder what makes the seaweed specific to the ocean. Maybe there's a way to emulate the environment artificially in case it gets worse
That seaweed serving shoot is really unhygenic
As that I presumed, the Japanese have the "shortcut" to harvest seaweed. Thank you for the video that makes me find the simple harvesting technology of seaweed for my task. One more time, thank you. ありがとうございます。
can we get high from sea weed?
Ecstasy have you ever heard of good reefer
I only have to watch this because of school
DOPE
Wait what? My last name is Shiroma but my real biological last name if you would consider it like that is Oshiro, and my ancestors is from Okinawa lol am I related to him? I know the Oshiro family is a big family but I am speachless

Pollution's pretty gross.
Seaweed is originated from Korea.
Nowadays both Korea and Japan enjoy seaweed.
But can you smoke it?
Invest in the world instead of a deal because what money will there be if there's no world
I want to try this seaweed. Who can send me to Ukraine?

Typically ALL the "Great big story's" are great, but the dude narrating suuuuuuuucks. His pronunciation is on part with a que-suh-dilla bro.
selfish ending, let your kid do whatever he wants to
Josh Potatoe Hey, Potato, he said he HOPED his son would continue his business. I don't know how this could be construed as being selfish.
he said i have to pass it, it needs to continue. id assume he suggested it very strongly at least. a lot of older generations are controlling and try to force their kids to do whatever they want them to
Josh Potatoe
Listen the son can do it as a side job okay. The freedom or whatever attitude of people like you let cultures die out. Look at America they all forgot their roots and force other immigrants to also abandon their traditions.
