Oishii Berry founder Hiroki Koga combines Japanese strawberry cultivation techniques with the technology of a first-of-its-kind indoor vertical strawberry farm in America to create the highest quality strawberry possible. The engineered berries go through a meticulous growth and monitoring process from seed to finished product. The result is a strawberry with a consistent and optimal size, flavor, and texture.

Hiroki is the future of vertical farming. People are laughing now and focusing on the price of the strawberries, but I'm more impressed by the technologies he's utilizing. He brought up a good point about how it's expensive right now, but this is how a lot of innovative tech begins. Think about how much a 20gb flashdrive cost 10-15 years ago, now it's such a negligible amount and you can get massive storage for a fraction of the price. Even 3D-printing a few years ago seemed crazy at a ridiculous price point, but now you can get one for your home for a couple hundred dollars. Thanks for this video Eater, I enjoyed it!

It's literally like the HIVE from resident evil, you have levels to the facility, decontamination zones etc. the only difference is that they are cultivating strawberries not the T-Virus

@Xainfinen 3 жыл бұрын

Well, that's really how most labs looks like. At least the ones that have decontamination zones as well as that white/grey hospital look. Sad part of RE2R is that the Hive was smaller than it should realistically be, it should've been fine with that size if they were just researching virus and testing on animals no bigger than mice, but the facility had ready to ship B.O.Ws and others section for B.O.Ws disposal, enhancement trials and anti B.O.W weapons. It definitely missed the Lickers and weapons R&D wings of the original, and with the new aesthetic they would've been amazing.

I wish this had had some note about how covid was affecting their business. I'd like to see stuff like this become more regular, but I'm not sure anyone has time for $50 strawberries right now (at least in my circle of people).

@marklorenz4302 3 жыл бұрын

This is incredible. The logistics behind this are insane and the attention to detail are awe inspiring. Not only that, but getting the folks that work there to care enough about the product ... that's difficult ... the MBA paid off on that alone. Also, 50 bucks is reasonable for what you get - 30-40 is the standard retail price here in Japan, and they are nowhere near this level, which is Isetan-level for half the price. They're using growth media the works ... I'm sure he's doing OK, but the overheads are going to be pretty high (cooling etc.). I'm interested in the closed bee system. I'm using a semi-closed system now, but not for strawberries. This was a great vid, really informative and well put together.

this is getting very interesting, when you grow the product at a certain temperature is a big deal, but you can boil them for 20 minutes with 1/4 of a pound of sugar and it does not change the quality and the flavor of the strawberry?.....

How do you consider something grown with that much infrastructure sustainable?

@rtangxps9 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on the setup. A vertical building is takes less land and less disruption to natural biomes. For lighting/electricity/ac needs, insulation and renewable energy is theoretically able to offset. Water would be regulated to exact desires of the plant reducing runoff and overwatering and rainwater collection system would help reduce local water supply consumption. Since you control the environment, pesticides and other chemical to prevent crop loss isn't needed and theoretically you have higher sustained yields. Farms like these can be built in the city which reduces transportation emissions/cost and customers can get a fresher product. Downsides are startup costs and to replicate the same output and price point of a traditional farm, you would need multiple buildings throughout a city where land value is already high.
