I don’t care Japanese anything should be most expensive provided it’s handled by 100% Japanese people… they are top class workers and their workmanship is beyond excellent
The guy calling indoor grown shitake as flavourless is just plain lying. So they are expensive for no reason at all. They look prettier, that's about it.
It's not the same. We traditionally use dried SHIITAKE for DASHI or broth in Japan, so high-end restaurants will only use authentic ones. Indoor ones are a cheaper substitute, but they don't have the same richness in flavor and aroma.
@@aarongagne8918 true, i grew them the same technique as shown here and had the flower like ones in colder temperatures, i think the cold makes them crack. but taste wise, its just minor difference in my opinion. also it doesn't took me 2 years from colonization to first fruits, only one year max. i think all this is made up to make it sound more exclusive. or does someone know if the logs really need 2 years to produce first fruits in japan? if so, why ?
@@recyclingnik not sure about the timing, but I've had success using air movement over the caps to basically dry them out which seems to crack the cuticle
I wonder if they will ever figure out how to insure they will become White Flower. Not that it would be good for their business, but you'd think "we" could figure out the science to produce them..?
they probably do know, it's just practically & economically inefficient to set the conditions to grow them. Plus, it's so expensive only because it's hard to come by.

Random answers....1st world questions... or perhaps she still wants to feel useful in this world/country/family... or she's a slave... or she just doesn't know what retirement means... or that country doesn't offer a "retirement"...etc. Great question! ❤💪🏻
I read up on this matter not too long ago. The retirement age in Japan is typically 60 years old, but when Japanese people were polled, about 1/3 of participants said they'd want to continue working regardless of age for morale and for a sense of purpose in life. About 1/4 also specifically said they want to continue working after 70. They also polled workers attempting to map their motivations for continuing to work. 76% of everyone claimed it was a financial necessity, meaning they rely on their income to maintain their current living standards for themselves and their families. The rest basically said it gives them purpose/socialization/something to do. Finally, and perhaps most importantly of all, many Japanese seniors believe that staying at work keeps them mentally and physically fit. Rather than relaxing during retirement, they prefer to contribute their skills and knowledge to society. It's just a cultural thing. The main source for all of this is "Why Does the Older Population in Japan Work So Much?, Japan Labor Issues Volume 6 Number 39, October, 2022" and there's a lot more info there if you're interested in further reading. They went into further details regarding retirement specifically, but to be honest I'm a bit too lazy to parse through it all right now. >:)
This is happening in the majority of leading economies. Aging populations, higher cost of living, reduced govt benefits, increasing retirement ages =need to keep working.
The priciest shit I have taken took place on febuari the 4th 2016. It was a cold rainy day, the winter darkness had set in.

Watcher of Business insider for several years now, always enjoy most of your content and thumbs up when it's good. But do you have to put climate change into nearly *every* video now? Yes, our climate is changing, it always is. We only have weather records going back to the 16th century, and the reliable efforts are closer to the 18th century. Our orbit around the sun may even be more elliptical, and there are a thousand-thousand factors that can effect our planets weather, besides coal and SUV's.

0:135:08 The next time you’re feeling bad for yourself because your work week feels too long or you’re not making enough money unless it’s borderline crisis situation for you, which I understand and respect that there are special cases, then you need to check yourself and stop being as myopic And instead being inspired by looking out towards the good people and the hardest working and typically the most undermined, used, abused and highly underpaid, working groups of people who tend to keep to themselves, not cause trouble in the community and keep everything running. This is no hate to anybody else. It’s just a reminder to be grateful if you have a life that provides you with a job or any kind of money endeavors that makes life for you and your family a little bit easier. Just watching this very old lady doing intense manual labor, especially for her age just goes to show that what we think we really need is typically more of a desire and you can’t see that until, you’re faced with having to provide for yourself and others under any means necessary, including working literally until you die a very old age. God bless this old lady and her hard work and passion. Again, I hope she is seen as an inspiration to many both from the eastern and the western people of the world. Huge respect to her and all of the hard-working people around the world who go in day and day out and still seem to see the beauty in life 5:08

Agreed, having tasted non Japanese Shiitake and the Japanese one. The taste has a significant gap even more so then the price tag.
