00:00It's a treasure that can only be found on this island!
00:05It's a treasure that can only be found on this island!
00:10In Japan, there are more than 400 islands where people live.
00:15Wow, they're alive!
00:18Koji Matoba, who has visited the island more than 30 times including his private time,
00:26has visited the island more than 30 times including his private time,
00:29so he will deliver the treasure of the island, such as food and souvenirs that he found because he actually visited the island!
00:37This time, he landed on...
00:41Look, I can see the Levant!
00:44I like the ferry!
00:47It's my first time.
00:49I'm so excited.
00:51Continuing on to Hokkaido,
00:55next to Rishiri Island,
00:58is the Levant!
01:00Wow, the scenery is different.
01:03I want to go there.
01:05It used to be the main island of Hokkaido,
01:09but at the end of the ice age, the sea level rose and it became an island.
01:15The sea where the two currents meet is the perfect direction for fishing.
01:23In the middle of winter, the minimum temperature drops to minus 17 degrees,
01:28and the ferries are closed for a week.
01:31We went there in the summer,
01:33but the ferries feel good.
01:36Did you ride the ferries?
01:37Yes, I rode the ferries.
01:38Because you can only ride the ferries.
01:39It's fun.
01:40On the way back, you have to say goodbye with a tape.
01:42It's like, I'll come back!
01:44It's warm.
01:45You can swim on a long beach where no one is.
01:49It's a nice place.
01:51It's like Hawaii or England.
01:54You should go to the Levant.
01:56Really.
01:58This time, it's winter,
02:00but there should be the original charm of the northern country.
02:03The first landing site is thoroughly investigated.
02:07It's nice.
02:09Oh!
02:12What is the only treasure on this island?
02:18This is interesting.
02:20What is this?
02:22What is this?
02:24It's a Bling Bling.
02:26Good morning.
02:29It's snowing.
02:31It's still snowing.
02:33Isn't it cold?
02:35It's cold.
02:36Is it cold?
02:37It's very cold.
02:38But it's fun.
02:41It snowed a lot last night.
02:43It's snowing.
02:46It's snowing.
02:48Let's enjoy the snowy Levant.
02:51Let's go find the treasure of the Levant.
02:54It's interesting. I'm looking forward to it.
02:57They set off with a rental car on the island.
03:00This time, it's a car move.
03:03Oh, it's amazing.
03:06It's a great road.
03:08There is a lake and a sea.
03:10It's a one-way road.
03:11It's like a water painting.
03:12It's amazing.
03:13It's good.
03:15It's like a foreign country.
03:17The image is a little...
03:19Momoiwa Tunnel.
03:22It's a dead end.
03:23It's a dead end.
03:25It's a dead end.
03:27It's closed.
03:28Wait a minute.
03:31Isn't it open?
03:33What?
03:34Oh, my God.
03:35It's closed.
03:36It's closed.
03:37It's closed.
03:38It's the best.
03:39It's the best.
03:40It's the best.
03:41You can tell by this.
03:42You can tell by this.
03:43There's a script.
03:44It's the best that we came all the way here and couldn't go.
03:46It's the best that we came all the way here and couldn't go.
03:47It's romantic.
03:48If you change the route and run,
03:50you will encounter the beautiful view of Kushi Island.
03:55It's nice.
04:02It's cold.
04:06It's amazing here.
04:08It's amazing.
04:09It's 360 degrees.
04:13Rishiri Fuji.
04:15It's cool.
04:17Momoiwa Observatory built on the rock wall.
04:21There is a large panorama looking at Rishiri Fuji, the symbol of Rishiri Island next door.
04:27It's a great design.
04:30It's beautiful.
04:32It's nice.
04:33Now, let's ask them about the treasures of Rishiri Island.
04:38Can I ask you something?
04:40Yes, you can.
04:41I heard you were coming, so I came to pick you up from work.
04:45I didn't know you were coming.
04:48It's cold, so let me ask you directly.
04:51What are the treasures of Rishiri Island?
04:54I like Atsumori Island and various flowers of Levin Island.
04:59There are various flowers at various times, so it's beautiful.
05:04Levin Island, where about 300 species of plants grow,
05:08including the unique species of the island's name,
05:12is also called the flower island.
05:16I see.
05:18As they continue to ask, they get information about their favorite food.
05:24It's called Levin Manju.
05:25Levin Manju?
05:26I've eaten a lot of Manju.
05:29I think it's one of the best.
05:31Wow, it's here.
05:33Do you like sweets?
05:34I like sweets, too.
05:36I see.
05:37I love sweets.
05:39I don't know.
05:40You don't know?
05:43Levin Manju is the only Japanese sweets shop on the island.
05:47It's made of Unozu fruit.
05:49It says Levin Manju.
05:52Good morning. Hello.
05:54We have a visitor.
05:56Excuse me.
05:57I heard Levin Manju is very delicious.
06:01That's not true.
06:02How long have you been doing this?
06:04About 70 years.
06:0670 years?
06:07How old are you now?
06:09I'm 76 years old.
06:12You started when you were 5 years old?
06:13No, I started when I was 2 years old.
06:14I see.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:16It doesn't matter.
06:17It's not a matter of age.
06:19I'm 55 years old.
06:21Don't say stupid things.
06:27Levin.
06:28It's baked well.
06:30It's like Onsen Manju.
06:31Levin Manju has been loved by the islanders for about 70 years.
06:38Koshianko from Hokkaido and Usukawa from Kokutou are popular.
06:50The anko is very sweet.
06:53It's sweet enough to make people kind.
06:55It's sweet because it's cold.
06:57It's made of red bean paste.
06:59I see.
07:00Iriomote Togyo Co., Ltd.
07:03Isn't it amazing?
07:05Manju from both sides of Japan are combined to make Levin Manju.
07:12In the old days, a lot of people from Hokkaido came to the island.
07:17Isn't it because of that?
07:19They came to the island from Kitamae ship.
07:21That's right.
07:22I see.
07:24It's amazing.
07:25The islands are connected.
07:28From Edo to the Meiji era,
07:31Levin Manju was brought to Kokutou in Okinawa by Kitamae ship.
07:40That's Nezuki.
07:42Levin Manju was made by the fusion of the north and the south.
07:48I see.
07:50Wait a minute.
07:51There are a lot of shops.
07:56The sun goes down early on the northern island.
07:59It's still about 5 o'clock.
08:01It's dark.
08:02I didn't expect it to be so dark.
08:03But there are no people even at 5 o'clock.
08:06Excuse me.
08:07Can I talk to you?
08:09My husband is over there.
08:11Excuse me.
08:12Sir.
08:14What is the treasure of Levin Manju?
08:17I think it's Hokke.
08:18Hokke?
08:19What kind of food do you eat?
08:21In Levin Manju, chan-chan-yaki is the best.
08:24Chan-chan-yaki?
08:25It looks very delicious.
08:27It's the most delicious Hokke I've ever eaten in Hokkaido.
08:32Chan-chan-yaki is a local dish in Hokkaido,
08:37which is eaten by mixing sake and vegetables with miso.
08:40Mr. Tokoro is not good at this.
08:43I'm not good at it.
08:44If it's all mixed up, it's useless.
08:49What is Chan-chan-yaki, a specialty of Levin Manju,
08:51which is different from sake?
08:56It's delicious.
08:59You're great.
09:05They are looking for treasures only in Levin Manju, Hokkaido.
09:11What is Chan-chan-yaki, an island specialty that uses Hokke instead of sake?
09:16Excuse me.
09:18This is Chan-chan-yaki of Hokke.
09:20Do you put it here and bake it?
09:24On the net?
09:25Yes.
09:26If you leave it for about 5 minutes, it will be baked.
09:29It is common to eat Hokke, which is easy to burn, raw.
09:34However, in Levin Manju, it is characteristic to bake it raw while it is high in freshness
09:39so that it can be taken at the limit.
09:42It's so fluffy.
09:44In addition, it is not mixed with vegetables such as cabbage and onions.
09:49The only thing that goes well with miso is simply green onions.
09:54I can hear the sound of Chan-chan-yaki.
09:56It's cute.
09:58It's here.
10:00It's baked from the tail, so even if it's baked, the meat can be eaten.
10:07Please eat it while mixing the miso of the meat.
10:11The base is white miso sold around there.
10:14I see.
10:15I mix some kinds of things and make it.
10:19It's a raw Hokke.
10:20It must be delicious.
10:25It's delicious.
10:27The flavor of miso is gentle sweetness.
10:30Hokke is delicious.
10:32Even if it's soft, it melts in your mouth.
10:36This is delicious.
10:38It's great.
10:40Is this safe?
10:41I don't mix it.
10:44In addition, there is information about seafood in season.
10:49I'm sorry.
10:50My name is MATOBA.
10:55What is the treasure of this REBUN island?
10:59It's a flounder.
11:00Flounder?
11:02It's a flounder.
11:03It's really big.
11:05It's a flounder.
11:11What do you want to eat?
11:12I want to eat a flounder.
11:14It's a flounder of REBUN island, which is said to be the best in Japan.
11:18I see.
11:20The shore of the island is full of seafood.
11:27In addition, the flounder is full of nutrients to withstand the cold of winter.
11:36MATOBA heard that there was a special pot that the fishermen were proud of.
11:44It would be great if I could deliver it to TOKORO.
11:48The next morning, MATOBA went to the fish pond where the flounder was watered.
11:53On the way there, he met...
11:57There is a flounder.
11:59What is it?
12:00It's amazing.
12:02There is a flounder.
12:04Is it a flounder?
12:05It's a flounder.
12:07It's a wild flounder.
12:08There is a flounder.
12:10There are two or three flounders.
12:11There are many flounders.
12:12It's a little far.
12:16He found a flounder.
12:18It's cute.
12:20In Japan, Hokkaido is the only place where you can see wild flounders.
12:25However, there are many flounders around here.
12:33It's nice.
12:35It's like a kindergarten.
12:36There are many flounders lined up.
12:38It's easy to understand.
12:40It seems to feel good.
12:42I think flounders are amazing.
12:44I get excited.
12:47He arrived at Teppu Fishing Port on the northern side of the island in search of flounders.
12:54It's a fishing port.
12:55There are people.
12:57Hello.
12:59Hello.
13:01I'm Matoba.
13:02Nice to meet you.
13:03Hello.
13:04Hello.
13:09There are people who say that flounders are a treasure on Rebun Island.
13:14Flounders are eaten by fishermen.
13:16He came.
13:17Mr. Tokoro seems to like flounder hot pot.
13:20I like it.
13:21Can you show me the flounder hot pot?
13:24Flounders are born for this.
13:26That's right.
13:27Flounders are really born for hot pot.
13:31Mr. Tokoro used to praise Kyoto's flounder hot pot.
13:36This is good.
13:38Matoba, who knew flounders as his favorite food, wanted to deliver the treasure of the island, the flounder hot pot, to Mr. Tokoro.
13:48The tide is low today, so there are no flounders.
13:52There are no flounders.
13:53The timing is bad.
13:55I'm sorry.
13:56Does that mean there are no flounders?
14:06I'm scared.
14:08Do you want to ask him?
14:09Yes, please.
14:11The fisherman was impressed by Matoba's power.
14:15He called his friends.
14:19Matoba came.
14:21I'm nervous in front of you.
14:23I'm sorry.
14:28He got a frozen flounder.
14:31That's great.
14:33Thank you very much.
14:36Matoba also came to his house.
14:41I'm sorry.
14:43Matoba is going to eat a flounder hot pot.
14:49It looks good.
14:50It looks good.
14:53It's really good.
14:59I'm going to eat this.
15:00Do you want some more?
15:02Matoba eats a flounder hot pot.
15:04The amount of salt is the key to the taste.
15:10It's a little salty.
15:14I'm a fisherman, so I like salty food.
15:17I don't want people to think it's salty.
15:19So I'm thinking about how salty it is.
15:22I see.
15:25I'm nervous.
15:29I'm nervous.
15:30Matoba came to his house.
15:39I'm nervous.
15:42It's delicious.
15:46It's really delicious.
15:51It's really delicious.
15:54I'm confident.
15:57This is a flounder.
16:00I'll give it to you.
16:01I'll give it to you.
16:04It's like winter.
16:07This is a hot pot.
16:09This is a hot pot.
16:11This is a soup.
16:13This is a warning.
16:15Everyone knows this.
16:20This is white rice.
16:21This is amazing.
16:22This is wonderful.
16:25This is a fish rice.
16:27This is a flounder hot pot.
16:30This looks delicious.
16:32This is a flounder with a lot of collagen.
16:38This is a high-quality soft roe.
16:41This is a flounder.
16:43This is a simple seasoning of kelp and salt.
16:47This is a winter feast.
16:50This looks delicious.
16:52I eat this.
16:55This is delicious.
16:58You are excited.
16:59I like this.
17:01This is delicious.
17:03This is a flounder.
17:04This is a flounder with a lot of collagen.
17:07That's right.
17:08This is delicious.
17:10What is this?
17:11This is delicious.
17:13This is soft.
17:17This is interesting.
17:19This is too interesting.
17:21This is too interesting.
17:22This is delicious.
17:23What is this texture?
17:25I don't know what this is.
17:30What is this texture?
17:31What is this?
17:32This is soft.
17:34TOKORO was surprised.
17:36This is TACHI-KAMA, a hot pot made with only soft roe.
17:41Boil the soft roe.
17:44It has a unique texture.
17:48I see.
17:49I see.
17:51This is a precious specialty of the coast of Hokkaido where fresh soft roe is obtained.
17:58This is amazing.
18:00The inside is a hard sponge.
18:02But the outside is coated.
18:05This is delicious.
18:06This is interesting.
18:07This is delicious.
18:10This is the first time I've seen this.
18:11Soft roe is better than eating it as it is.
18:15That's right.
18:16This is amazing.
18:18This is a good discovery.
18:19If this starts this year, it will be a big problem next year.
18:25I don't buy this.
18:26I don't buy soft roe.
18:30Do you buy only this?
18:33Do you buy this?
18:34I buy TACHI-KAMA.
18:35This is a bargain.
18:38If you continue to investigate, there are many treasures on the island of REBUN.
18:44This is amazing.
18:46I will show you the treasures of the island of REBUN.
18:53First of all.
18:56This is a huge New Year's tree.
19:01I was taught by INOZU of REBUN BANJU.
19:05There is an octopus that can be raised in the sky.
19:09That's right.
19:11Is there a custom of raising octopuses in REBUN?
19:15Yes.
19:16I have been doing it since I was a child.
19:18Did your father do it?
19:19That's right.
19:21This is a famous product called REBUN DAKO, which was born in the Meiji era and inherited by craftsmen from generation to generation.
19:28What kind of octopus is this?
19:32Now I go to a craftsman who is the only one on the island.
19:36I heard this from my father.
19:39What kind of octopus is REBUN DAKO?
19:41Excuse me.
19:44Is this real?
19:58REBUN DAKO is transmitted from Meiji to the island of REBUN in Hokkaido.
20:06Is this real?
20:07This is amazing.
20:10This is very cool.
20:11This is very big.
20:13This is very cool.
20:17This is very cool.
20:18This is the best I've ever seen.
20:21This is a four-leaf clover called BENKEI.
20:25That's why it's so elegant.
20:29REBUN DAKO is over 120 cm in size.
20:34This is beautiful.
20:36The figure of a fierce warrior is clearly visible in the sky.
20:42This is a symbol of REBUN and the New Year.
20:46This is a symbol of economic development and sales.
20:49This is a symbol of prosperity.
20:52REBUN DAKO is a popular character on the island.
20:55REBUN DAKO has been popular with the islanders for many years.
20:59REBUN DAKO is displayed in many shops.
21:03REBUN DAKO watches over the lives of the islanders.
21:06I see.
21:07This is cool.
21:08If you put this on the front door, it's good for performance.
21:11That's right.
21:12Because the octopus will rise.
21:15AKIMOTO is an octopus craftsman who has been preserving tradition for more than 40 years.
21:21From making bones to drawing pictures, he does everything by himself.
21:27This is amazing.
21:28This is amazing.
21:30How long does it take to make something of this size?
21:34I don't make it in one piece.
21:36I make four or five pieces in a month.
21:39This is amazing.
21:42I drink alcohol at night.
21:45If I don't have anything to do, I come here.
21:47I line up the octopus one by one and drink alcohol.
21:50That's the best.
21:51That's the time to get dressed.
21:54I'm sure you'll say that when you see this.
21:58MOTOBA wants to fry the octopus.
22:01Unfortunately, the wind is weak on this day, so he gives up.
22:05The octopus will rise, right?
22:06That's right.
22:07The staff is probably trying to quit.
22:10MOTOBA won't stop.
22:12If you start, the octopus will rise higher.
22:17What is the next treasure of REBUN DAKO?
22:24It's a view that can only be seen in the northernmost part of the world.
22:30There is a view I really want to see when I come here.
22:35Where is it?
22:37The northernmost part of the island.
22:40It's already beautiful.
22:43I want to show this beauty to TOKORO.
22:49Isn't it amazing?
22:54It's amazing.
22:58It's the sunset of the northernmost part of the island.
23:01Isn't it amazing?
23:02That's great.
23:04It's sinking horizontally.
23:11I've seen a lot of beautiful snow in many places.
23:15I've seen it overseas and in Japan.
23:18But now I feel like I'm looking at the strongest sunset.
23:27That's great.
23:31It's beautiful.
23:35It's amazing.
23:37It's a great view.
23:41I think you should go to REBUN DAKO.
23:43REBUN means heaven, right?
23:47Go to REBUN DAKO in Japan.
23:51Next time.
23:53Today is the best version.
23:55TAKEYAMA delivers food from FUKUOKA.
24:01He eats the best food in the world.
24:05It's spicy and delicious.
24:08It's the first time I've eaten this.
