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
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.
Japanese hygiene and organized process to execute all their work is simply wonderful. Even their slums are cleaner than thousand of other countries cities
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
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
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.
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 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
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.
@@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

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
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 🤢🤮
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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 😍
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.
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.
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 UA-camrs. If anything, I would love for this video to be longer👏🏻👍🏻😃
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.
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~!
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 🙂♥
Food really is a great uniter of communities, preparing it and eating together. I love it! I wish there wasn't so much plastic used, but the world still has a long way to go in that regard...
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🧡🤍🎇🤍🧡
5:19 When I saw the excavators I was wondering how they prevent hydraulic oil to spill into the soup and spoil it. Using butter for lubrication is ingenious and funny, very nice idea.
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.
well yeah, US/EU not exactly known for an educated population go west of asia and you start seeing rise in cancer rates, illnesses, healthcare problems, etc. 😂😂
i think it would be harder to not go there, i imagine everywhere within 30 miles can smell that soup! i can smell it through the screen and i wanna go!!

That is some serious commitment.

The difference between the Japanese and the Indian Big Batches are insane. The former looks so clean and organised
Next year they should put camera on top of the pot so that we can see the cooking action 😂. But hey nicce tradition cheers from philippines.
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
Japanese are some special type of people
