[Takumi’s Wonderful Japan] [“Takumi’s Wonderful Japan” starts now] Today’s destination is Maruya Honten, known for Nagoya eel bowls. It’s a place called
“Maruya Honten,” famous for eel bowls. They have jang-deop rice bowls? You mean eel rice bowls. No comedy needed today. No need to be funny. Really, no need. Because today is for “Wonderful Japan.” [Asking the staff for recommendations]
What’s your most recommended dish? Since we’re a Nagoya restaurant we definitely recommend hitsumabushi
(eel rice bowl enjoyed three ways). [Nagoya Specialty: Hitsumabushi]
I see. [Chopped, sauce-glazed eel
served over rice]
It also tastes great with broth at the end. [Add condiments or broth
to enjoy flavor changes]
Like ochazuke with green tea? Yes, that’s our top recommendation. Then I’ll go with that. [Junki follows staff’s pick: Hitsumabushi]
Special-grade hitsumabushi. Okay. Then I’ll… Unadon (eel bowl eaten one way)… No comedy needed, remember. – But really, can I go with unadon?
– I think that’ll taste good too. That way we can show both dishes. Then I’ll… No, I’ll go with unadon. [Takumi plays it safe with “Unadon”] Excuse me. The best unadon you have. Please give me the best one. “Su,” right? Yes. Ah! I’ll go with “Su.” [How to eat “Hitsumabushi”] How to enjoy hitsumabushi. [Savor the flavor of eel and rice]
1. First, eat it as is. Next [Add green onions or wasabi to change the flavor]
2. Add condiments. [3. Pour broth over
and enjoy like ochazuke]
If I hadn’t read this, I’d just eat it plain. [Of course, eating it plain is OK too]
True. So would that one be the better choice? Can I still change my order? Now? [Still craving unadon!!] It’s fine. I mean, is that really okay. [Pre-meal tea time]
Thank you for the tea. It’s tea. I’ll enjoy it. This is amazing. I’ve wanted to try this. [Golden chopstick rests] [Shiny chopstick rests = high excitement]
This is amazing. Is it real gold? This is a hitsumabushi place,
but Takumi ordered unadon. I mean… Unadon is still the best… Really? Hitsumabushi is good too, but— Honestly, I still can’t really tell the difference. So… It is different from hitsumabushi. – You get to change how you eat it.
– Right. [Waiting for the rice to arrive] [(Hitsumabushi)] [First, the sake they ordered arrives]
Thank you. So cute. Amazing. Look at this! I really want you to see it. [Loving the Mt. Fuji coaster] Cheers. This might be my first noon drink. [This is the best] [At last, the food is here!]
Thank you. Whoa! Hold on! It’s spilling out! Just as expected. This is amazing. [Looks so good]
I’ll take a pic for you from here. Okay then Open. Ta-da. Wow. This is insane. Doesn’t this mean unadon was the right call? – Totally.
– That portion is huge. This is seriously insane… Amazing… [Takumi’s Unadon Clean-Eating Challenge!] I really can’t do this. I want to eat it already. Let’s eat. Alright, I’m covering it back up. I want to lift it clean and show it off. My hand’s shaking. Got it. Got it. Let’s eat. It fell. [Only grabbed the eel (lol)]
Is that okay? Let’s eat. It’s so good! Incredible! Is it good? Seriously amazing! [Alright, Junki’s hitsumabushi too]
The sauce is sweet and tasty. The slightly charred part is awesome. Open. So pretty. That one’s the winner. But this one is too. [Unadon and Hitsumabushi are both totally right]
They were both the right choice. This is so fun. Huh? This feels so luxurious. Alright, I’m going to try it now. Looks delicious. Let’s eat. How is it? [Moved] It’s delicious. Hey. Your voice is too loud lol [Nom nom time] [Takumi’s unadon] Since Takumi never finishes, I always… I always end up eating his. Is it good? [Finishing Takumi’s portion too]
Yeah. [Saying goodbye to Junki
Thanks for eating with me]
We’ve finished eating Thank you for the meal. Hands together Thank you for the meal (2nd time) Thank you for the meal (3rd time) That was really good. Amazing. – I think I’ll come back here.
– I think so too. I want to come again. JAM, you should visit too. Now let’s head to the place
I’ve been so excited about. Let’s go. Moonwalk… [Wonderful Japan] We’ve arrived! This is something I’ve always wanted to do! This! “Uzumako Ceramic Art.” Pottery. I’ve wanted to do this for so long. Shall we try it? Let’s head in. Excuse me. Nice to meet you. Thank you for having me. [First, choose your shaping technique]
Choose based on the form you want to make and then begin shaping. The pieces on the table
were made with “tebineri.” Tebineri? [A technique where clay is
kneaded and shaped by hand]
It looks like this. [Recommended for those
who want original pieces]
Oh, that’s cute. These were made by
other guests who visited. Amazing. They stretched and cut the clay. You can make everything by hand. And “rokuro” is [A technique where you shape clay
while adjusting speed with a foot pedal]
Over here [Great for uniform, refined,
thin and lightweight pieces]
Plates and those over there were made with rokuro. [Rokuro is for more professional pieces]
Even first-timers
can make pieces like store-bought ones. Really? Tebineri gives off a handmade feel,
and that’s its charm. Rokuro looks more like store-bought pieces. [What do I choose] Alright! I can do this! [Fully motivated to create]
I’ll start with this one. [Challenging the high-level Rokuro!]
– Got it.
– Thank you. Place your foot here
and wrap your hands like this. That’s it. Push from there. Wow. [Tip 1]
Wetting your hands
helps shape smoothly. [Too much water
can cause collapse, so be careful]
Next, shape it like this. [Learning the shaping steps] [Rokuro begins] Wrap your hands around it [Tip 2 Hold as if cupping with both hands]
– It’s firm.
– That’s right. It’s surprisingly as firm as stone. [Tip 3]
Place your other foot on the wooden board Like this? [Rest both elbows on your knees]
That posture is perfect. Ah, I see. It’s more stable with both feet up. Now press your thumbs
into the center. [After making a hole, widen it] You’re doing great. This takes quite a bit of force. That’s right. It’s kind of cute? Use your fingers around the opening. That’s it. Support the other side with your hand. [Key Tip]
Hold it gently and raise slowly. Slowly? Gently… Slowly… How is it? Doesn’t feel much different? No, it actually feels pretty good. Just repeat that several times. [Repeat slowly several times] It’s too fast! Scary! Too fast! [Slight panic] It’s okay. It turned into something wild! It’s okay. [Rokuro is pretty tough] Why? Why did it turn out like this? It’s not going how I pictured. [Add water and gently refine the shape]
Right. I need to add water. [Focused] If it feels good around now,
you can stop here. Since it’s your first try,
the shape might not turn out as planned so it’s best to finish here
and move on to the next. [Cut off the finished piece] I think it looks good. It’s fine. I think the curve is pretty. All done. – It’s complete.
– First one. Get a shot of the pretty part. [Takumi wants to capture the best angle] [1st piece complete~] [From the 2nd piece on, skilled hands emerge] [A lovely teacup and]
Done. I finished everything. I did it. [Soy sauce dish complete!]
I did it. Nice. Thank you. [What will the 4th piece turn out to be?] Got it! I got it… Do you hear that? Do you hear the sound?
It’s going “shoo” Isn’t that kind of scary? [“Shoo~” sound caused by lack of water] Oh, that’s what it is. [Carefully continuing with the “shoo” in mind] What do you think? Isn’t it cute? [Finishing touches with full attention] How is it? Done. [A pretty high-level flower vase]
How is it? A flower vase. Thank you. [Rokuro complete]
– Let’s wrap it up here.
– Okay. [Next is]
Tatara-zukuri. [A slab-building method using flat clay
Ideal for flat or box-shaped pieces] [(Takumi’s love for JAM)] Alright! [Trimming around the heart] [Shaping it into a bowl] [Once shaped, add designs] Cute. That’s what I’ll do. Looks good. Okay. I think this side looks cooler. It feels more artistic. Nice. [Tatara-zukuri complete] [Lastly, choosing the glaze color] Is it this one? Which one’s better? I see. [To highlight soy sauce,
chooses “cream matte glaze + ivory glaze”] Cream ivory. Will it have this kind of texture? Yes, that’s a matte glaze,
so the finish will be matte. Then I’ll go with this. For the soy sauce. [With the glaze picked, five pieces completed]
Let’s go with this. Isn’t it nice? I finished them all. That was fun. The finished pieces [(They said they’ll ship the completed pieces later)]
In July early July, they said. I’ll wait excitedly until then. I came for a stroll near Tokyo Tower. Look over there. Look over there. A shop under Tokyo Tower. I bought a crepe from there. It’s super good. Today was really a great day. I had fun. See you again soon. See you next time. [Later, the completed pottery arrived] Hello. It’s here. It arrived… I’m so excited. That was pretty fast. Delivery was. Ta-da! Amazing! Look at this. Incredible. I’ll show them one by one. Let’s start with this one, wow! This might be super cute! [A flower vase with unbelievably high quality]
Did I really make this? Huh? It’s cute. Look over here. Can you see it? Do you get it? [Engraved “T.K” on the back of the vase]
Can you recognize it? Can you see the T.K? This is the first one. I’m glad I chose this color. What should I do next? This one? This one. [The very first teacup he made]
This one too. It came out like this… I also wrote T.K on this one. What do you think? Cute, right? I probably shouldn’t use a dishwasher, right? [You should not] Thought so. This is… this is for soy sauce! A soy sauce dish! So cute! Whoa! This one’s really nice. The shape is seriously amazing. This one also has T.K on it. Next. This one. I was really excited about it. Whoaah! I love it. Incredible. Amazing, it’s so cute. [Another high-quality piece: water cup]
This is a water cup. Cute, right? The color is seriously perfect. I love the dripping effect. And finally, this one… Remember the last one I made? Here it is! [LOL] This one’s really good. [“Tatara-zukuri”]
The heart. Cute, right? It has… little dog paw prints. Cute, right? [T.K engraved on every piece]
There’s also T.K on the back. And just like that… They arrived. Isn’t the color just perfect? I really am a genius. I had so much fun. I didn’t think they’d turn out this pretty so I’m super happy. If you all… lately… haven’t really… been able to focus on anything or felt unmotivated or like everything’s hard try doing pottery. It’s really fun and helps you focus! You can completely clear your mind! I had so much fun. [JAM,
try pottery to heal your heart too] That’s it! This was “Takumi’s Wonderful Japan.” Thank you. Bye-bye. Take care!
