Agreed, and just went online to order a bottle.

I was thinking close to $100 and that would have been fair to me but definitely surprised at the price.

Other artisan stuff is usually 10x commercial or more, 3x seems like a steal, given how much effort is put into this.

How did Japanese carpentry work?

@@buddermonger2000 Less nails and more joinery. They're expert woodworkers as is proven by their long standing buildings. Wood doesn't typically last as long as some building materials yet they have the oldest.

@@Aaronlcyrus I'm going to have to look up what Joinery is. Also tbh worth noting that wood has lasted very long in many places across the world and about half of the reason they're destroyed is war.

@@buddermonger2000 basically cutting slots into wood to fit pieces together rather than having nails hold them together.

Placebo is one hell of a thing.

@@Yeet42069 Yes it is, and that's why it works. Just let your brain fool you once in a while and you'll have a hell of a better experience in life. Whether the sauce is actually better or not is irrelevant. Tastes differ after all. It's the process that gives it a premium quality feel, and as a result, makes your brain appreciate it more, releasing more happiness hormones and tuning your senses to savor every last drop. So just let yourself enjoy it, and you'll have a happier, richer experience because of that. I think that in itself is worth the premium price.

​@@B3RyL No thank you, ill keep my 40 and go to a Japanese restaurant instead xd. My brain will appreciate that a bit more I think. I mean sure, if it makes you happy and hurts no one do what you want to do and pay what you want to pay. But most people won't really spend that much on a bottle of soy sauce, especially if the difference is hardly noticeable. Don't get me wrong, the documentary is nice and all for what it is. But its no surprise japan went to a more durable soy production process.

@@Yeet42069 Oh, I don't dispute that in the slightest. The technical aspect of the soy sauce production definitely went in the right direction, but you have to acknowledge the fact, that a lot of people will feel the difference between the artisan sauce, and the mass produced one, whether it's there or not. Human brain is weird like that, and if it makes people happy, then it's worth it.

in France, we have also people who craft barrels but rather for alchool like wine champagne whisky beer, its fantastic, but like bio-product, its a luxe, its only possible because of the actual economy, strong demand for luxary product or restauration, theres also big pottery like this for sauce in china, and may be some italian craft amphore nowaday too ;D but the problem start after a strong recession, like after a war, when there's not enough demand for this, and thats how it tend to disappear.

good i get to know the opinion of a native japanese, i mean i could taste the difference between this sauce and the cheap market sauce but can't appreciate it as much bcz you know, it's not a part of our culture here in germany and been there for a couple decades only and we don't have that much experience to tell. you can ask us abt beer tho ;)

Come on dude the more effort you put in your work the better the product/result gets and the video just shows how much effort they put in their "traditional" recipe. Do you even value a person's effort? If you won't try you won't know. I am not trying to make you buy it. I am trying to tell you to use common sense. Quality over amount deal with it

Right? To me 35 dollars for a high quality product isn’t bad at-all!

@@hambone6793 indeed! A bottle of good gin is just as much and even more lol

On the whole grand scheme of Japanese things it rlly ain't bad at all. It also looks like a pretty big bottle. So least for uk

@@hambone6793 Its price will be relative to its market, and is a highlight of why healthy competition is always better for the consumer. For instance, we own a corporation that deals in the wholesale of confectionary for theme parks, candy shops, and just tourist attractions in general. There’s all the staple brand name candy that we carry, but our single biggest source of revenue comes from salt water taffy: ours is gourmet and has a special preparation compared to contemporary methods, which results in it always being soft and chewy while melting in your mouth. Unfortunately for us, and the manufacturer, we cannot price the product at what it’s actually worth because the next best product is substantially cheaper. If we had a monopoly on taffy, we would be able to exploit the prices, but because we don’t - even though our product is head and shoulders above the rest, we have to price it only slightly higher than the next best product. When it comes down to large amounts of cash flow, the customer will just opt for second best if it’s a fraction of the cost. By the way, companies have begun to circumvent the effects of competitive markets by building up a consumer base that then becomes dependent on their product. Once your important programs, favourite tv shows, favourite smart watches, and favourite video games become locked into a certain company, they can rope you along for whatever price they want because of how much money you’ve already invested into their ‘service’. It’s a sickening market that needs to have legislation. Because of lobbying, it will never get fixed unless there’s some form of arbitration involved.

True! A 4 year aged bottle of true japanese culture shouldnt be so cheap! I hope hes doing alright finnancially.

Must be nice seeing the story and passion behind it right here

great support for local business..

I'd rather taste years over months...

My boyfriend grew up by and his parents still live by the Kikkoman soy sauce headquarters. When my boyfriend way away in the military and he saw they provided packets of Kikkoman he felt better because it reminded him of home. His dad and at least one other member of his family work there, and have said that the process to keep everything clean and stuff in insane compared to where they used to work, but they're making a product that they all enjoy. Sometimes you can smell the soy sauce when you're outside and it can throw you off if you're not used to it. I've only had Kikkoman and whatever brand my roommate at the time got "because it was cheap"

or just buyy cheaper, because they both taste the same and your family are plebs.

Please share how different from Ordinary

@@sitihereyamamoto i think

i dont think its because of beauty or tradition it exist, yes it need passion, but its rather economic reason, the man said his family was too poor for modernize, and cannot close either due to debt i guess....so its pure economy who made this traditionnal way survive,..may be now its the taste for tradition, but previousley it was money choice, yet all buisness closed after war because people cannot afford expensive soy sauce, and there was a cheaper one, today its very different, japanese are wealthy and have demand for luxuary product, but who know, recession, war epidemy, crash, debt crysis, war, all can be swept away again...and whatever the country, like today the after-cvoid global inflation is destroying and transforming lot of small buisness everywhere...like with coocking oil.

"tradition" is just a label to make weebs pay more for that product.

I agree the old ways must never be forgotten even if improved upon

@@jrobbin24 I wouldn't call "modernisation" an improvement... faster and automated production often comes with a decreased flavour and sometimes uses "chemicals" to accelerate the production time

@@iche9373 "tradition" is a word that is far from unique to Japan. Or do you think that, say, only Southern Texans drink traditional Canadian Maple Syrup because they pay more and don't know better? Yes, it's a good way to sell for more. But there are as genuine differences as there are between a digital and *tradition* painting. Those differences, while not always superior, are worth keeping the old ways alive.

I don't know if that's the case though. I think lost cultural practices and such is more common than them being kept alive and maintained.

not for long.

This sort of fungi fermentation of proteins for amino acids started in China about 3000 years ago, but at first it was mostly applied on meats (醢). About 2000 years ago, soy beans had become the overwhelming source of fermentation, but it was used as a whole paste (酱), rather than using the liquid extract. Nowadays, the whole paste is still being sold in China, which has a slightly different flavour than the soy sauce extracted. The extraction of soy sauce started during the Song dynasty in 13th century, and then spread to Japan by no later than the 15th century. Since the 17th century, Japan developed its own way of production, including that giant barrel.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Dont hope the government help..hope this world less cheapskate

​@@berniterisan7421 I hope the japanese government gives grants and historical protections to old-fashioned soy sauce factories and also that they give everyone money to buy the delicious soy sauce. everyone should have more money to spend on making and eating tasty foods and I do not care where that money comes from. I will become rich and buy everyone fancy soy sauce-- is that worse than everyone buying their own bottles individually? governments have a huge say in the wages of their people and in the parts of their culture that become preserved. who cares where the funding comes from bro just support the things you love in the ways that you're able

@@berniterisan7421agreed. Seeing a lot of comments balk and mock the pricing, yet it’s the literal old fashion way of making it that isn’t just commercialized (which ALWAYS ends up losing a piece of the soul of the original product anyways) I rarely use soy sauce (because I was particular about using one with my tofu noodles, then I lost the bottle before I could rebuy more) but I definitely will be giving this a try. The comments saying it has a richer flavor sound like a good review to me 😋

@schmu Their population is mostly shrinking because they don't reproduce as fast as old people are passing away

@@johpfit760 I don't see it done elsewhere to the magnitude that it's done in Japan. Of course, my dad butchers his meat by himself and he fixes his car by himself and he does his carpentry and woodworking by himself, but this is different. Making gigantic wooden barrels and bamboo rings to hold them together and then taking 4 years to make soy sauce instead of a mass-produced kind. That's on a different scale.

I'd say there will be success for his brand's work simply because that quality will always beat out mass produced ones. At most though, it'd mostly be 1 of his for every 4-5 mass produced ones, but even then that's more than enough for quality products to thrive.

With higher energy prices and the collapse of world wide supply chain, the world will become more and more low-tech. Tradition will come back wether people want it or not

Mass-producing in higher quality and consistency

I think you also need to account for consumer buying power and nutritional awareness. Those who can afford it or have the time, means, and access to higher quality foods via home cooking or nicer restaurants, will purchase and appreciate these products.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

the price is so fair that it's too little LOL

The trick is not forcing them and showing them the value in your craft. Having enough children also helps

In Japan something like 98% of adoptions are adults being adopted. Basically, if someone with a family business doesn't have a son (or at least one that's going to continue it) then they often find someone else to continue the business and also take him as an adopted son.

@@seneca983 part of the adult adoptions in Japan is same-sex couples. the law does not allow for same-sex marriage, and the only way to make your partner your legal heir/guardian (so they can make medical/legal decisions on your behalf) is by one party adopting the other so that they are related in the eyes of the law. Japanese YTuber Shogo (Let's ask Shogo) has an interesting video that touches on that subject ("The Surprising Reason Why LGBT Marriage is Prohibited in Japan").

I don't think the business would live if the one who inherits it doesn't have the passion to continue it. Keeping that tradition standing takes more than willpower and hardwork.
