This was the best amazing food and farming video I have ever seen. I am 79 years old and this is what I want to do when I grow up. Collecting seeds, plants flowers and sharing it with the world. WOW. I mean how amazing and wonderful and exciting is that? I love food so eating in the best restaurant and then finding and growing things no one else has is so original, unique, one of kind, outstanding and just makes every day a 5 star day. I have always collected seeds and taken cuttings from interesting specimens from all over. This is just fantastic. Fun! I loved learning about this. Thank you so much. WOW!!!
One of your best videos of all time. This farmer has an amazing story and unique business. Learned so much and loved every minute. Can’t wait for part 2.
I graduated from the Academy of culinary arts after 2 years and 2,100 hours of training. that was back in the early 80s in Atlantic City. I appreciate quality food I appreciate all this , we all need to get back to basic foods real foods !
The one thing I admire about Japan is how much care they put into their food. I wish more countries would strive to be the best in what they produce like this. Food quality would be much better
I love it that this hardworking man honored his father by traveling to fine restaurants, his father's wish, and brought home SEEDS rare to Japanese cuisine. Now he has a thriving business growing rare food items for chefs!!!
День тому+3
What is an amazing video🥰 Editing, presentation and communication are perfect 👍 Absolutely Kajiya farm is an indispensable farm in Japan. It changes the restaurants in Japan.
The variety and unexpected uses for different parts of the plants is very interesting. Some of these ideas will move into the mainstream eventually. The restaurants and suppliers such as Kajiya are at the cutting edge.
Thank you for that interesting video! Great story about the dad and his Michelin quest too! I wish I could afford to try Noma which is located in my town. At least I have got all the plants mentioned in this video, growing in my garden. Including the sansho witch is currently in a wrestling match with the sichuan pepper 😄 and the oxalis took over my asparagus bed, those vegetables and herbs can be some real drama queens.
This was gr8 and very helpful- although it would have been interesting to see how he “prompts” the plants to flower. Good to see you back in the groove again.
I'm not sure what he does but stress is what does it so, heat in the form of covering the plants with someone like a frost blanket or even plastic, inconsistent watering or withholding water, overseeding. Those are a few ways.
It's a lot of work but I enjoy it and hope to be able to continue to travel and make these kinds of videos, they just need a lot of views to make it sustainable for me.
Great video! I loved Kajiya's enthusiasm for life - which his father clearly shares. I wonder if he has considered growing crops for nutrient value - see some of the advances in determining and enhancing nutrient value that John Kempf and his team at Advancing Eco Agriculture are introducing, and the groundbreaking research by scientists like James F White at Rutgers University. That would be a new angle for Michelin star restaurants. It might also enhance the value of existing crops even further.
Glad this pop'd up in my recommended feed. Great business. Yuzuru is a good storyteller and pretty darn funny ta boot. You can really see where his Canadian experience rubbed off on him. Small diverse crop farming is a tough gig for making money, glad to see him find an angle to rake (and hoe) in some Yen. Will subscribe for part 2.
very enjoyable and informative video. this 3star farmer seemed to be a very balanced and nice guy. by the way did you ask him about the fire bombings that we are supposed to believe were nuclear bombs? which somehow did not polute the region.
I like growing in a messy natural fashion but it's nice that he is doing things in this way, gotta have the mix of approaches. He is looking deep into the world of life for beauty, flavor, and profit. I do some of the same, but I share my discoveries around a campfire. Nothing better than cooking with other people around a real fire and the smoke flavor adds a vibe. I garden for money too, but just by selling my time and skills, not produce. Fresh produce farming is annoying, lots of pressure, don't like it. I garden for beauty and subsistence and sharing the extra with others to spread the joy and make more gardeners. The flavor difference between stuff grown in a rich soil ecosystem versus the chemfarm soil apocalypse is shocking. I grew up hating tomatoes, but my mind was blown when I ate a ripe heirloom tomato from a beyond organic tiny farm. Changed my life. I want to create that moment in other people. Trick them with direct experience instead of trying to convince people with my words. A purple carrot fresh from the ground, especially after a frost. Fresh sugar snap peas. Black Cherry tomatoes. Popped amaranth. Potatoes with actual flavor. All sorts of weapons in my arsenal, barely getting started. I hope to infect many people with the green thumb disease with food :)
hey, i'm a gardener in Oahu and am limited by land resources. i'm interested in farming on a larger scale and Japan would be great. Is it possible to see your operation in person?
Carrot roots for vegetable is cheap! Genius is growing carrot for its flower, sell for high ¥¥¥. I let my best carrot to flowers to saved seeds for next season.
@18:52 "I kinda feel bad as an American." Dude. Shut up. If nuclear bombs weren't used in WW2, millions of Japanes and American lives would be lost. Stop revising history.
You shouldn't even let people know about the forage being in the mountains. I hope it's not, or is on private property because some idiot is going to go looking and ruin it for you and your customers.
I grow Oyster plant and I was kinda disappointed when I first tried Oysters, because they are nothing like the clean, vegetal-seafoody taste of the plant - Oyster tastes like shit - like coughing from swallowing seawater while swimming and a bit of phlegm gets in your throat. Blergh.

I would love to visit this guy. He is amazing.
So much knowledge shared, thanks so much for this!
Good timing, “natures always right” when things seem wrong! Watching this one by a small pond and it’s almost too good to be free entertainment haha
This is the best video about farming I have seen. Kajiya San is so down to earth and so creative. Very interesting and informative.
Man that's amazing.
The best chefs need the best ingredients. This guy is legendary.
I absolutely love your passion. You deserve all the success. From South Africa.
I truly appreciate what you are doing, man.

Very nice... informative and inspiring .his experience will help me a lot .I m growing many of these flowers but didn't know that these are edible.
Dude I wanna try his salsa. I wanna grow crops in Japan after seeing this but that's a pretty big jump.
Most interesting video I've seen in a while. You should do this all over the world
It's a lot of work but I enjoy it and hope to be able to continue to travel and make these kinds of videos, they just need a lot of views to make it sustainable for me.
Amazing! 💚💚💚 I didn't knew that some flowers that I have are edible and that the list of edible flowers and herbs is so big.
It's pretty amazing isn't it! Food is all around us!
Amazing!!! I love his story and positive attitude💜
This is really cool because I'm going to college for organic farming 😮
Good luck! Be sure to get a lot of hands on experience as well.

are they planting mushrooms too?
Just wild harvesting I believe, no mushrooms at this farm location at least.
hey, i'm a gardener in Oahu and am limited by land resources. i'm interested in farming on a larger scale and Japan would be great. Is it possible to see your operation in person?
Geez that Sansho is 90s weed prices!
This is what happens when you don't give up, sent to another country at 15yrs old you are strong. Your dad new that.
There are actually lots of Mexican(ish) restaurants in Tokyo.
But I'm not telling you man. 😅it's top secret 😀.
Btw very inspiring and informative video😊
Does he grow saffron?
♥️
シートベルトは？
the ways of the DAO are mysterious...
I didn’t expect to see plastic containers 😢
Have you moved for good to Japan?
No I was just there for 2 months and was able to film with a bunch of people. I'm in Asia for a year making videos like this 😀

This guy is literally selling Ice to the Eskimos
