00:00Look at this. It's like a cloud of smoke.
00:07It looks like a fried rice with a lot of steam.
00:10That's ridiculous.
00:12If it was a fried rice with a lot of steam...
00:14That's enough.
00:16It's spinning.
00:20Nice to meet you.
00:22Nice to meet you, too.
00:23This is it.
00:25This is it.
00:27This is the survey team.
00:29I don't remember anything.
00:31You remember everything.
00:33Natsu seems to have forgotten.
00:37This is a program where we survey people around the world
00:41to see if there are things that are popular all over Japan that are actually made here.
00:48Nice to meet you.
00:50It's been a while.
00:53This is the second time for the two of us.
00:55We've been doing this a lot.
00:58To be honest, I forgot about this jumper.
01:00You forgot?
01:02What is that?
01:03It's been a year since I wore this outfit.
01:05It's been a year, so I don't think you've forgotten this.
01:08One, two, three.
01:10This is the survey team.
01:12Please tell me in advance.
01:14Did I do that?
01:16Well, it's the survey team.
01:18Natsu Nakanishi, a camera craftsman, is shocked.
01:21What is a liquid that doesn't slip?
01:25Half of the globe may stop.
01:29It's the world's largest factory.
01:32Kagoshima Umare, who fascinated the world, will also appear.
01:37NEO, a popular video creator from Kagoshima Prefecture,
01:41goes to the sea in search of this and that.
01:44Yes!
02:11Coconut!
02:12Natsu Nakanishi, a camera craftsman, will also appear.
02:15Kagoshima Umare, a popular video creator from Kagoshima Prefecture,
02:18goes to the sea in search of this and that.
02:20This is the second time for the two of us.
02:22I'm glad you called us.
02:24I'm glad you worked hard last time.
02:27That's right.
02:28Is that so?
02:29That's right.
02:30Of course.
02:31If it weren't for you two.
02:32Can you wake me up when you get there?
02:34Why?
02:35Before that,
02:37I'd like to announce the keyword of the place where we're going.
02:43A company that doesn't slip, protected by you.
02:48What?
02:49That's the keyword.
02:50A company that doesn't slip.
02:52That means we're definitely not going to Shochiku Entertainment.
02:56You're right.
02:57It's Mr. Yoshimosu.
02:59Mr. Yoshimosu.
03:00We're going to Mr. Yoshimosu now.
03:02We're going to Mr. Yoshimosu.
03:03It's a good idea, but it's not.
03:06Tell me where it is.
03:10We're almost there.
03:11We're almost there?
03:12Yes, it's here.
03:13A company that doesn't slip?
03:14What do you mean?
03:15A company that doesn't slip?
03:18We arrived at this old building in Kagoshima City, Yojiro.
03:25Here?
03:26Yes.
03:27What?
03:28It's full of weeds.
03:29That's a lot.
03:30What?
03:31A lot of weeds.
03:33What is this?
03:34In here?
03:35Yes.
03:36Which one?
03:37What do you mean?
03:38I'd like you two to investigate it.
03:41What about you, Mr. Yoshimosu?
03:42I'm not going.
03:43Why?
03:44Why not?
03:45You should go.
03:46You said that before.
03:47I'm the guide, so you two will investigate it.
03:50What kind of job is that?
03:53Let's do it.
03:54What?
03:55Let's do it.
03:56Here we go.
03:57Let's do it.
03:58It's investigation time.
03:59This is a hassle.
04:02This two-story building is called Yojiro Meitengai.
04:06In the past, restaurants and beauty salons were used as tenants.
04:11However, due to the influence of aging, it was decided to be demolished.
04:18In the meantime, a shop with a light is on the first floor.
04:24It's closed, but it's open.
04:25That's right.
04:26It's different.
04:27It's like a business notice.
04:31Hello.
04:32This is Grip Method.
04:35Hello.
04:36Hello.
04:37Nice to meet you.
04:38Nice to meet you, too.
04:39Nice to meet you, too.
04:40Nice to meet you.
04:41Excuse me.
04:42I'm looking for this.
04:45Is it here?
04:46Yes, I think it's here.
04:48Here?
04:49Yes.
04:50Why did you say it was slippery?
04:52It's not slippery.
04:53It's like a new celebrity.
04:55It's not a celebrity, but it's here.
04:58Then, she took it out of her pocket.
05:02What is it?
05:03This liquid is not slippery.
05:05What do you mean?
05:06If you drink this, you won't slip?
05:09It's dangerous to drink a little.
05:12Isn't it alcohol?
05:14It's not alcohol.
05:15It's not?
05:16The hint is that it's used all over Japan.
05:20From Hokkaido to Okinawa.
05:22From Hokkaido to Okinawa?
05:24Yes.
05:25It smells like perfume.
05:28It smells good.
05:30It's like a love slippery.
05:33Isn't it?
05:34It's wonderful.
05:36Thank you for today.
05:37No, it's not.
05:39It's not?
05:40I can't explain it here.
05:43Please move to a different place.
05:46Move to a different place?
05:47Yes.
05:48In order to confirm the identity of this transparent liquid,
05:52they drove for about 40 minutes.
05:55They arrived at...
05:58Where is this?
06:00Is this an elementary school?
06:02Elementary school.
06:03Why is it slippery in an elementary school?
06:07The investigation team visited the gymnasium of Daizaka Elementary School,
06:11which is located in Minamisatsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture.
06:16I hear a voice.
06:19They are playing something.
06:22What is this?
06:24Many people are playing.
06:27Hello.
06:29What are you doing?
06:31We are playing.
06:33Are you playing?
06:35Everyone is playing.
06:37Do you know what this is?
06:39I don't know.
06:41Do you know what this is?
06:45What is the identity of this liquid that children are curious about?
06:57Nasu Nakanishi came to the gymnasium of the abandoned elementary school.
07:02Currently, some of the gymnasium of Daizaka Elementary School is used as a bouldering facility.
07:11Do the children know the identity of this liquid?
07:18Do you know what this is?
07:20What is this?
07:22Do you know what this is?
07:24Do you know what this is?
07:26I don't know.
07:28Do you know what this is?
07:30Is this a gunpowder?
07:31Gunpowder?
07:32We have a great gunpowder.
07:35Muddy water.
07:37Muddy water?
07:40Muddy water is used to clean the gymnasium.
07:43Muddy water is used to clean the gymnasium.
07:45What is this?
07:47When did you get this?
07:50What is this?
07:52This is a new maintenance material for the gymnasium floor.
08:01Is this a maintenance material?
08:03Yes.
08:04What is this?
08:06We use wax.
08:08Is this a maintenance material?
08:10Wax is no longer used because it is no longer used.
08:15What?
08:16Is it no longer used?
08:17Is it no longer used?
08:18Yes.
08:19Is that so?
08:20Wax was used to clean the gymnasium floor.
08:22Wax was used to clean the gymnasium floor.
08:24Wax was used to clean the gymnasium floor.

08:36Wax was used to clean the gymnasium floor.
08:38on the floor.
09:06Yes.
09:06It's smooth.
09:07It's true, but that's the image of wax.
09:10Yes.
09:11This is our product.
09:13You want to see it, right?
09:14Yes.
09:15Non-slip?
09:16It's a product called non-slip.
09:18Wow!
09:20It's non-slip!
09:22It doesn't move!
09:23I can't really tell at a glance.
09:26There shouldn't be a difference at a glance.
09:28Because the wood grain is the same.
09:31Isn't it that?
09:32Isn't there something special about these shoes?
09:36No, no.
09:37Why don't you try it with these two shoes?
09:39Yes, yes, yes.
09:40Can you do it?
09:41With both.
09:42Two.
09:43Oh, oh.
09:45Oh!
09:46You did it!
09:47I did it!
09:48No way!
09:49Amazing!
09:50Yes.
09:51It's funny!
09:52No way!
09:53Amazing!
09:54But now, with your own upper body,
09:56what happens if you do it with two at the same time?
09:58You tried it, didn't you?
09:59Yes.
09:59You're good at filming.
10:00You're good.
10:01You're good at filming.
10:02You're good at showing off.
10:03You're good at showing off.
10:05Natsunaka Rishi is also surprised by the grip strength of the non-slip shoes.
10:13Before he put them on,
10:14he put non-slip shoes on a dry floor board that made a rustling sound.
10:23With the recovery of grip strength and the improvement of competition performance,
10:28a large number of sports manufacturers have introduced sports facilities all over Japan.
10:33In addition, cleaners that contain non-slip ingredients
10:36have been used at international national sports events and the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
10:45Why did you decide to develop this?
10:47Originally, it was a company that specialized in plastering the floor of the gym.
10:52Like drawing lines.
10:53I see.
10:54It was a plastering company.
10:55Yes.
10:56The plastering we do is something that can only be done by a company,
11:02so it's a little difficult in terms of budget.
11:06So we developed it to see if there were any products that our children or teachers could easily apply.
11:14After investigating the non-slip shoes born in Kagoshima,
11:17an announcer from Shimozuru joined us.
11:21Since there are children here,
11:24after learning about these non-slip products,
11:27we're going to do a one-shot gag.
11:29Why?
11:30Because they're non-slip.
11:31What?
11:32No, that's not true.
11:33I think I've become non-slip because I've learned about them.
11:36You have.
11:37That's great.
11:38That means I've acquired a great ability in Kagoshima.
11:40That's amazing.
11:42A non-slip one-shot gag.
11:45How will the children react?
11:49We're going to do a one-shot gag.
11:50Yes.
11:54I'm wearing glasses!
12:01It's a little funny.
12:04It's a little funny.
12:05No, it's too non-slip.
12:07This is non-slip?
12:09This is non-slip.
12:10Yes.
12:11I'm too non-slip.
12:15The non-slip grip method has been developed.
12:18Since January this year, the base has been renovated to support indoor sports all over Japan from the floor.
12:26Now, from here, we will borrow the stage of the gymnasium and let the two of you see the VTR.
12:33First, please watch the VTR.
12:36The investigation team came to Satsuma-cho, surrounded by mountains, the inland part of Kagoshima Prefecture.
12:43In Kagoshima Prefecture, which has the largest forest area in Japan, it is a peaceful town called Takenosato.
12:50Driving a car in such a mountainous town,
13:02a huge factory suddenly appears.
13:05Fireworks fly in the building, even the mysterious white powder.
13:10And there is a hot spring in the base.
13:14Now, what kind of things are born in this place?
13:20So, first of all, the keyword.
13:22Spark from a small town to the world.
13:26Well, that's the factory, isn't it?
13:29Yes, there is a product that is flying around the world from the town of Kagoshima.
13:36From now on, you will see the manufacturing process.
13:40For the two of you, you have to press the button as soon as you see it.
13:47And if you can't answer, you'll get a penalty.
13:51What? Penalty?
13:53I've already seen enough penalties.
13:56Now, let's start the Korekoko Quiz.
14:00Now, let's see how the Korekoko is made in the factory.
14:07In this process, we use this white powder.
14:11What is this white powder?
14:14Ceramic.
14:16Ceramic?
14:19It seems that the identity of the white powder was the powder of ceramic.
14:25This powder is in the next process.
14:28This is what comes out when this powder hardens.
14:36If you put the ceramic powder in a mold and press it hard, it will come out in this shape.
14:43It came out like this.
14:44Furthermore, it is scraped with a special tool.
14:47Oh, yes, yes.
14:49Please tell me by ear.
14:52Suspension.
14:53What was it?
14:54Suspension.
14:55Yes, yes, yes, yes.
14:56It's a part used in the front wheel of a motorcycle.
15:00Suspension.
15:01Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:03That's close.
15:04Look, look, look.
15:05It's going in a very good line.
15:06Is it going in a good line?
15:07Yes.
15:12It's not a part of the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
15:15It's not the difference between the front wheel and the rear wheel.
15:17It's different.
15:18That's right.
15:19That's not fair.
15:20It's not the difference between the front wheel and the rear wheel.
15:22Furthermore, the ceramic powder was scraped with a special tool and made uneven.
15:28This process is to slowly bake the ceramic powder through the mold.
15:39It is slowly baked in a large-scale equipment called a high-temperature smelting furnace.
15:50This smelting furnace runs for 24 hours and 365 days.
15:55Why do you have to keep it running for 24 hours and 365 days?
16:00If you suddenly turn off the fire, it will take about a month to return the fire to its original temperature.
16:09Yes.
16:11Oh.
16:12Smelting and push.
16:14Push?
16:15Push?
16:16Push?
16:17Go ahead.
16:20It's a part of the engine of a car.
16:23What?
16:24It's a part of the engine of a car.
16:26Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
16:28What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?
16:31It's OK.
16:32Hey, let's watch a movie.
16:36This is the ceramic that went through the furnace.
16:39Don't you remember it somewhere?
16:43The hot spring is inside the facility that appeared in the VTR at the beginning.
16:48In fact, it is one of the retrofitting structures of this company,
16:51and it is a facility where people and their families who work here can use it for free.
16:57Now, let's move on.
16:59What was that?
17:00That didn't matter, did it?
17:02That didn't matter at all.
17:04No, no, no, I might have heard it.
17:06What was that?
17:08Jaguchi.
17:09Jaguchi?
17:10Jaguchi.
17:11No.
17:12No?
17:13Jaguchi?
17:14Can you do something about it?
17:15No, I can't.
17:16You can't do anything about it?
17:17No, I can't.
17:18What?
17:19Now, what's next?
17:21This is the material.
17:24What is this?
17:25Yes, this is a coil material made of steel and carbon.
17:31A coil material weighing about 2 tons.
17:34How will this change?
17:37Let's move on to the next step.
17:40We will cut this coil material to about 2 cm.
17:44Then, we will wrap it in five stages like this and change the shape a little bit.
17:49Finally, we will finish it in this shape.
17:54The hard metal goes through five stages and changes its shape in no time.
18:03The parts produced at a tremendous speed are mass-produced in this factory.
18:11What is this process for?
18:13This process is to make the heart of the product we are making.
18:20This is the welded part.
18:24It looks like a protrusion.
18:26This is the heart part.
18:30The metal part called the heart part and the ceramic part are welded together.
18:40The metal part called the heart part is bent after it is welded together.
18:45Then, it is packed and finished.
18:48Now, you know the answer, right?
18:52The answer is this NGK Spark Plug.
18:57This is difficult.
18:58Do you know the answer?
18:59The answer is this Spark Plug.
19:02Do you know the answer?
19:04This is used to start the engine, right?
19:06That's right.
19:07Do you use that part in Kagoshima?
19:09Yes.
19:10Without this part, the car won't move.
19:14We know that this part is used in the engine of a car.
19:18Let's ask her to explain how it is actually used.
19:24In a car, it acts like a lighter.
19:28There is a part called the spark plug.
19:30This part makes sparks fly.
19:32It makes sparks fly between the central electrode and the external electrode.
19:39By the way, is there anything else used besides the car?
19:42Yes.
19:43It is used for two-wheeled motorcycles, ships, airplanes, and agricultural equipment.
19:48In fact, it is also used for rockets.
19:50It goes to space.
19:53There is a model here.
19:55A spark plug is used like this.
19:58A mixture of air and gasoline is put in it.
20:03A small explosion occurs from there.
20:06This cylinder moves the car by moving up and down.
20:12This spark plug is used to ignite this mixture.
20:18The main stage of this project is the Satsuma Factory of Nittoku Spark Tech Works in Aichi Prefecture.
20:26It has been 50 years since the production of spark plugs, which are mainly used in cars that run on gasoline, began in this area.
20:36Now, this NGK spark plug is not only in Japan, but also the No. 1 in the world.
20:43There are 6 factories in Japan and 10 factories in the world.
20:48Half of the cars running in the world are made by this company.
20:53It's half of Japan, but it's half of the world.
20:58Is there a feature that this factory is the only one?
21:01Yes.
21:02This Satsuma factory operates in a one-time production system.
21:07A one-time production system means that only this Satsuma factory completes the processing from the procurement of materials to the shipment of production.
21:17By doing so, there is no loss of time, such as waiting for the material and parts to be received.
21:241.1 million per day.
21:27We are able to produce a stable production of 24 million per month.
21:33However, why is there a factory in Satsuma, which has a population of less than 20,000?
21:40We asked Mr. Yamaguchi, the deputy factory manager.
21:45As a result of the rapid economic growth, motorization has been developing.
21:50At that time, Miyanojo-cho had a deficit.
21:55It was a corporate deficit.
21:57As a result of the rapid economic growth, motorization has been developing.
22:01In addition, people are moving to the city.
22:04We are trying to build a factory here while securing employment.
22:15As a local close-knit company, they actively create employment in Satsuma.
22:20Currently, more than 1,000 people are working in Satsuma.
22:29Satsuma is the number one shareholder in the world.
22:34When I hear that, I feel encouraged and happy.
22:41Satsuma is a small town.
22:47I think it is very attractive that there is the world's largest factory in the world.
22:54If the entire production of Nittoku Spark Tech Works stops,
22:58half of the world's cars may stop.
23:02There is pride in the people who work in factories that support the stability of the car society.
23:08This Uri is the world's largest factory in a small town called Satsuma.
23:15I want to continue to have such a factory in Japan and the world.
23:25I like Made in Japan.
23:28I also like Kagoshima.
23:32There are a lot of locomotives.
23:34Locomotives are also used.
23:37Yes, they are.
23:39We are very grateful for them.
23:44Natsu answered that it was a part of a car.
23:48The punishment game was decided by Nakanishi.
23:54Please do a spark gag.
23:59Do a gag again?
24:02Spark gag.
24:043, 2, 1.
24:07Nakanishi's spark gag.
24:11Say it when it starts.
24:13It's already started.
24:15Why don't you stop it in the middle?
24:17It's the most embarrassing thing right now.
24:22It's going to burst.
24:24What's going to burst?
24:26My glasses are going to burst.
24:29Glass Tetris.
24:34Thank you very much.
24:37After this, Natsu and Nakanishi are out of breath.
24:40This is the birth of Kagoshima.
25:06Next, we're going to the center of Kagoshima.
25:09We're going to see a local product.
25:14It's a local product that comes to mind when you think of Kagoshima.
25:19We're going to see it with Natsuko.
25:22She's a local.
25:24She's a local.
25:25I'm a local.
25:27I'm a local.
25:28I'm a local.
25:30I'm a local.
25:31I'm a local.
25:32I'm a local.
25:33What do you think of when you think of Kagoshima?
25:37Kagoshima is famous for black pigs.
25:40Black pigs.
25:42And when you get off the plane, it says black cows.
25:46Cows are famous too.
25:49Kagoshima is famous for Himo-jouchu.
25:52It's definitely Himo-jouchu.
25:54It's definitely Himo-jouchu.
25:55So, I'm going to tell you the keyword of this place.
26:01It's the place where Kagoshima was born.
26:05We're almost there.
26:07We're almost there.
26:08It's quite a mountain, isn't it?
26:09It's a mountain.
26:10That's right.
26:12After this, the place where Kagoshima was born, which was recognized by the world, will appear.
26:18But before that...
26:20I'm NEO from the Korekoko Survey Team, who was appointed again this year.
26:24Thank you for your cooperation.
26:27Continuing from the first episode last year, there are about 900,000 subscribers from Kagoshima Prefecture.
26:34NEO, who is active as a popular video creator, joined the Korekoko Survey Team.
26:39I'm at the fishing port in Nagashima Town, north of Kagoshima Prefecture.
26:44Here is the keyword of this year.
26:49From Nagashima to the world's dining table.
26:53Oh, the world.
26:55I'd like to investigate it right away.
26:59From this fishing port to the world's dining table.
27:03Let's start the investigation.
27:06I found it, so I'll ask.
27:10Excuse me.
27:12Good morning.
27:14Good morning.
27:15It's sudden, but do you know what this is?
27:19Yes, I know.
27:20What? You know?
27:22I think it's the fish that Mr. Tomiani is talking about.
27:28Fish. There are fish, right?
27:30There are fish.
27:31Where do you catch those fish?
27:34I catch them around here.
27:36In the building behind here.
27:38Oh, in that green building?
27:41That's right.
27:42Can you go to that building together?
27:45I can't go inside.
27:47What? You can't go inside?
27:49I can't go inside.
27:51I can't go inside.
27:53It's very strict on sanitary management.
27:56The standards are set so that people can't enter easily.
28:03As a result of looking around for a clue,
28:06he found something on the truck's platform.
28:10This is for export.
28:12I'm going to Belgium.
28:15What?
28:17All of this?
28:18All of this.
28:19Going abroad?
28:20Yes.
28:22That's amazing.
28:24Do you know what kind of fish this is?
28:26I don't know. I don't know at all.
28:28You still don't know?
28:29I don't know. I don't know.
28:31I'm curious. What kind of fish is this?
28:34In order to find out what kind of fish this is,
28:36NEO, a member of the KOREKOKO investigation team,
28:38boarded a fishing boat for the first time in his life and went to the sea.
28:42He arrived about 10 minutes after departure.
28:47This is what the fish looks like.
28:49There it is.
28:50There it is.
28:52It's swimming a lot.
28:54What is that?
28:55I'm going to feed it so that you can see it better.
28:59That one?
29:01It's jumping.
29:05That's amazing.
29:06That's crazy.
29:10It's squirming a lot.
29:13What kind of fish is this?
29:15This is a yellowtail.
29:16Yellowtail?
29:17It's a yellowtail.
29:19This yellowtail is one of the best-selling fish in Japan
29:24in the Azumato region and the Taichung region.
29:26It's the best in Japan?
29:27It's the best-selling fish.
29:30It's called the Yellowtail King.
29:32That's cool.
29:33It's the king of yellowtail.
29:36So there are a lot of king yellowtail here.
29:38There are a lot here.
29:39The king of yellowtail.
29:40The king.
29:43Surrounded by the 27 islands of the Taisho era,
29:47the calm tide of the sea is the best area for the king of yellowtail to breed.
29:55The fishermen develop the original feed and manage the daily work with the app.
30:01By managing the breeding situation thoroughly,
30:03the fish have a stable shipment throughout the year.
30:13The yellowtail goes abroad, right?
30:17Yes.
30:18It's difficult in this state, isn't it?
30:20We process it and make it into a vacuum pack.
30:24By the way, this is the vacuum pack.
30:26It's big.
30:28We extract it in a state where it doesn't touch the outside air
30:30so as not to lose its quality as much as possible.
30:34In order to make the vacuum pack,
30:38the yellowtail is kept at a low temperature with ice water
30:41and transported to the processing plant so as not to lose its quality.
30:46The processing plant, where the entry is strictly regulated,
30:49adopts an international management method to ensure the safety of the food,
30:53which is called HACCP certification,
30:56and supports export to overseas.
30:59Azuma Chokyo-kyo, the world standard for sanitary management,
31:02was born in Heisei 10 and is the first in Japan to be a farmed fish.
31:09How many countries do you export the vacuum pack to?
31:13Currently, we export it to about 34 countries, including America, Europe, and Asia.
31:23How much can you make a day?
31:26We process about 5,000 to 6,000 bags a day.
31:325,000 to 6,000 bags a day?
31:34At the end of the year, we sometimes make more than 20,000 bags a day.
31:39I'm sorry, but I really want to eat it.
31:43Really?
31:44I'm so hungry.
31:45It looks delicious.
31:46It looks delicious.
31:48It looks delicious.
31:52I want to eat the world standard yellowtail.
31:56So we went to the Azuma Chokyo-kyo restaurant,
32:00which offers freshly caught fresh yellowtail.
32:03Look at this.
32:05They prepared a set meal for us.
32:08Thank you very much.
32:11Please try the sashimi first.
32:16I'll try it.
32:23It's delicious.
32:24How is it?
32:25It melts in my mouth.
32:26I can feel the texture of the fish.
32:29It's delicious.
32:31It's fatty.
32:32Yes, it's the season for fatty fish, so it's perfect.
32:37It's the best yellowtail I've ever eaten.
32:40Really? Thank you very much.
32:42Next, we'll try the head of the yellowtail.
32:51This is the part that needs white rice.
32:53That's right.
32:54It's delicious.
32:55Thank you very much.
32:56The meat is soft and chewy.
33:00I think I can eat this every day.
33:02You can eat this in other countries, right?
33:05Yes.
33:06Because it's so fresh.
33:07That's right.
33:08Do foreigners recognize it as a yellowtail?
33:12Yes.
33:13There's a yellowtail mark on the back of the fish.
33:18So if you go to a foreign country and ask if they know what a yellowtail is,
33:23will they recognize it?
33:25It's possible.
33:27I want to go there.
33:28I don't think it's a yellowtail.
33:30I think it's our duty to sell the yellowtail produced by the producers to foreign countries.
33:42I want more people from different countries to eat it.
33:44That's right.
33:45I was really impressed that I could drink the best yellowtail milk in Japan today.
33:50I want to take it home.
33:53Please buy a lot.
33:55I want to eat it there.
33:57There's a shop there, too.
33:59After this, Nasu Nakanishi will investigate the world-famous Korekoko from Kagoshima.
34:07Wait a minute.
34:08What are you doing?
34:09What are you doing?
34:14Nasu Nakanishi, a comedy duo, will investigate the Korekoko made here.
34:20Nasu Nakanishi is running on a mountain road in Minamisatsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture.
34:27Here it is.
34:29Is it a drinking place?
34:31Isn't it a drinking place?
34:33It's a yellowtail farm.
34:36It's amazing here.
34:38It's called Tsunuki.
34:39It's Tsunuki.
34:43That's right.
34:44It's a drinking place.
34:46Can I sit here?
34:48You two.
34:49What?
34:50You haven't done this.
34:52What?
34:53Korekoko investigation team.
34:55I'm angry.
34:56What is it?
34:57It's a break.
34:59It's too early to take a break.
35:03Hello.
35:04Hello.
35:06Nice to meet you.
35:07I'm Nasu Nakanishi.
35:08Nice to meet you.
35:09I'm Tanaka, the owner.
35:11Do you make alcohol here?
35:14That's right.
35:15So, it's a yellowtail farm.
35:18The place I'm going to show you is not a yellowtail farm.
35:22It's a different type of alcohol.
35:26What?
35:28It's not a yellowtail farm in Kagoshima.
35:30It's a different type of alcohol.
35:33What is it?
35:34It's big.
35:37It's big.
35:38The alcohol we make here is mainly whiskey.
35:45Whiskey?
35:46Yes.
35:47You make whiskey in Kagoshima?
35:49That's right.
35:50The whiskey in Kagoshima is getting popular.
35:54There are more and more breweries in Kagoshima prefecture that produce whiskey.
36:03One of them is the Mars Tsumuki Distillery.
36:07According to Asahi Shimbun, the distillery started producing whiskey right after the war.
36:14However, the distillery was closed in 1992 due to demand.
36:20However, after the distillery was established in 2016 due to the rise in whiskey in recent years,
36:27the distillery was established in Tsumuki.
36:32Now, Mr. Kiwaki, who is in charge of manufacturing whiskey at the distillery,
36:37will show us how to make whiskey, which is said to have fascinated the world.
36:42First, let's go to the process of preparation.
36:45This is the barley that is the raw material of whiskey.
36:49And this is the tank that holds the alcohol.
36:54The raw material of whiskey is double barley.
36:58The double barley imported from overseas is the main one,
37:02but depending on the season, it is also grown in Minamisatsuma, a local area.
37:08Do you add yeast or something to make alcohol?
37:14By putting it in here with hot water,
37:17it creates its own fermentation process.
37:22So, in the case of whiskey, yeast is not used.
37:25This is double barley, so there is no alcohol here yet, right?
37:29That's right. There is no alcohol here yet.
37:33Double barley before alcohol is added.
37:36What does it taste like?
37:43Oh, it's sweet.
37:44It's sweet, isn't it?
37:45It's sweet.
37:46It's delicious.
37:47Wow.
37:49It really tastes like sweet sake.
37:54I want to drink this cold one.
37:56I think I'll buy it when I sell it.
37:58This is going to sell well.
38:01It's going to sell well under the name of Whiskey Mae.
38:04This is really good.
38:06The next step is to brew the raw material containing alcohol.
38:11Oh, this is amazing.
38:16This is the process of brewing.
38:19We put the raw material containing alcohol in this,
38:24heat it up,
38:27and then use the difference between water and alcohol to collect it as sake.
38:34This is where the raw material of whiskey is coming out.
38:39Is it transparent?
38:40Yes, the raw material at this time is colorless and transparent.
38:45So it's not the color of whiskey yet.
38:47That's right.
38:48The next step is to make whiskey the color we know.
38:54Mr. Tanaka will guide us again from here.
39:00This is where whiskey is aged in a warehouse called Ishigura.
39:05It's for whiskey, isn't it?
39:07That's right.
39:09Wow.
39:11This is amazing.
39:14This is cool.
39:16This is an easy-to-understand sample.
39:20Is there anything in this?
39:22First of all, this is a new pot that you saw earlier, which is colorless and transparent.
39:25And as time goes by, the color changes.
39:30It's easy to understand.
39:31Is this what happens?
39:32That's right.
39:33If you add it little by little?
39:35That's right.
39:36Is this a little less?
39:38That's right.
39:39In the process of aging, it gradually evaporates and becomes transparent.
39:47This is called angel's share.
39:51Angel's share.
39:53This is a share of the angel in the warehouse.
40:00I see.
40:01That's a great way of thinking.
40:03The more the angel drinks, the more delicious it becomes.
40:07In other words, as time goes by, it becomes more delicious.
40:11This is Honbo Shuzo.
40:16Is this Tsunuki?
40:18Yes.
40:19This is a single malt Tsunuki 2022 edition.
40:25This is the biggest competition held in the United States in 2023.
40:33This is double gold.
40:34In addition, we have won the Best in Class award for the top class.
40:42How many categories do you get for the Best in Class?
40:46There is only one category.
40:49We lost.
40:51We lost.
40:52I think we lost this award.
40:53What do you mean?
40:54We won the Best in Class award for the top class in 2007.
40:57I can't believe it.
40:59When did you say that?
41:00We won the Best in Class for the top class.
41:01That's old.
41:05Tsunuki, a whisky with a world-famous malt Tsunuki distillery.
41:11Since you can actually drink it,
41:14let's go to the old house of the Honbo family next to the distillery, Ojo.
41:20The traditional Japanese house, which was built in 1933,
41:24is now open as a bar where you can enjoy whisky.
41:31Wait a minute.
41:32What are you doing?
41:34Thank you for your hard work.
41:36I'm not tired.
41:37You're drinking.
41:38Can I drink with this?
41:40Of course.
41:42It looks good.
41:44Let's drink.
41:46This is the aged color.
41:48That's right.
41:53It smells good.
41:56It has a smoky flavor.
42:02It smells good, too.
42:10It's good.
42:11It doesn't have a sharp taste.
42:13It's round.
42:17It has a smooth scent.
42:19I don't think I felt the sharpness and unpleasantness as much as the alcohol.
42:31I didn't feel the sharpness at all.
42:34Please think of it as the effect of aging in a warm climate.
42:42I see.
42:44How is it?
42:45It's warm.
42:47Horoyoi Gyaku.
42:50I'm sorry.
42:51What are you doing here today?
42:54You've been making fun of me.
42:56Here, too?
42:57Yes.
42:58Can I do it?
42:59Horoyoi Gyaku.
43:00Can you do it?
43:01Let's do it.
43:03Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
43:07Sometimes, I get scolded by my right hand.
43:13I'll do it again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
43:16You used to make shochu, didn't you?
43:19That's right.
43:20And you also make whiskey.
43:24Yes.
43:25Our company, Honbo Shuzo, has a history of more than 150 years.
43:33Since its founding, we have always had the spirit of working on something new.
43:44So, I challenged myself to make whiskey in Nangoku, Kagoshima.
43:48I learned a lot from you.
43:50I'll challenge myself to make Gyaku again.
43:55Are you ready?
43:56Are you ready?
43:57Can I see it?
43:59Why are you the only one who can see it?
44:03I'll give you a refill.
44:08How did you like this episode?
44:12I had a lot of fun.
44:15I love Kagoshima.
44:20We have a lot to learn from Kagoshima.
44:24We still have a lot to learn.
44:26We still have a lot to learn.
44:27So, let's do it again.
44:29If you don't invite us for the third time, I think my Gyaku will come out.
44:35Let's do it for the last time.
44:37Let's do it.
44:38We already know it.
44:39We already know it.
44:40Let's do it.
44:41One, two, three.
44:42Let's do it.
44:43Let's do it.
44:44Let's do it.
44:45Let's do it.
44:46I can't do it.
44:50I can't do it.
44:51I can't do it.
44:52I can't do it.
44:53I can't do it.
44:54I can't do it.
44:55I can't do it.
44:56I can't do it.
44:57I can't do it.
44:58I can't do it.
44:59I can't do it.
45:00I can't do it.
45:01I can't do it.
45:02I can't do it.
45:03I can't do it.
45:04I can't do it.
45:05I can't do it.
45:06I can't do it.
45:07I can't do it.
45:08I can't do it.
45:09I can't do it.
45:10I can't do it.
45:11I can't do it.
45:12I can't do it.
45:13I can't do it.
45:14I can't do it.
45:15I can't do it.
45:16I can't do it.
