AISubs v3.5
Together with Nugizaka46, let's learn about domestic products!
The food consumed in Japan is produced in Japan as much as possible.
This is called "domestic product".
The current food supply rate in Japan is 38% calorie-based.
It depends on import about 60%.
If there are fewer rice fields and fields in Japan,
and if import from overseas is restricted due to disasters,
we may lose what we eat.
In this program, we will report on where and how domestic ingredients are produced,
and Nugizaka46 members who support J.A. Group's national promotion of domestic products will report on the site.
Saya Kanagawa and Rika Sato of Nugizaka46 have been in Kawagoe for about an hour from Tokyo.
They visited Yoshihiko Iino's farm and learned about the role of urban agriculture in providing fresh agricultural products to the metropolitan area, and also tried harvesting edamame.
This time, we will approach the charm of urban agriculture by interacting with producers and consumers.
Once again, we will report on the charm of urban agriculture from Iino Farm in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture.
Thank you for having us.
I have a question.
How many employees do you have here?
We have one employee and nine partners.
Ten people.
So we are a couple.
Wonderful!
How many years has it been since you started working here?
Six years.
Wow!
What kind of work did you do before you started working?
I was an electrician working in the intellectual property management department.
After that, I left my job and did agriculture alone for four years and came here.
What is the fun and motivation of agriculture?
The most fun thing is the work that you can feel the season.
When I was an OL, it was already dark when I left the company.
I had never seen the sun.
But now I can feel the season and the wind.
It's a very pleasant and fun job.
What is the atmosphere like at work?
We work together and have fun.
My ideal job is to work together and have fun while moving my hands quickly.
We work together and have fun.
It's more important than anything else.
Can I ask questions to people who actually work?
Yes!
I'm happy!
Let's do it!
Now you are making delicious edamame.
What did you do before you worked here?
After graduating high school, I worked part-time and played soccer for a club team.
Wow!
After that, I worked as an office worker and did various things.
I chose agriculture that can be continued for a long time.
Did you change your image of agriculture before and now?
Before I started working, I had an image of physical labor.
As you can see from the machines, I used machines.
I want to be able to work without burdening my body.
Did you change your image of agricultural products?
I make edamame, but I rent a field and make it at home.
It's not love work, but I make it with the image that what I make is delicious.
Handmade is the best.
I worked all day with my computer in the room.
I'm an outdoor person, so I wanted to work outside and grow vegetables.
So I decided to quit my job.
Everyone is kind and I'm having fun.
In addition, she is starting a new initiative in her farm.
I'm working with J.A. Ilmano for various talents.
We are working as a very important force.
They learned about urban agriculture and decided to go to a shop where you can taste the vegetables of Iino Farm.
We came to a shop where you can taste the vegetables of Iino Farm.
What kind of shop is this?
This is a buffet restaurant called "Market Terrace" in Ikkenya, which is located at the entrance of Cargo Market.
Buffet!
This restaurant makes a menu from vegetables and offers it to customers.
Vegetables are the main dish in this restaurant.
I love vegetables!
Thank you!
We would like to invite someone who can tell us more about this restaurant.
Thank you!
My name is Matsuura, and I am the sub-manager of this company.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
We have a lot of delicious food made with Ino's vegetables.
We also have vegetables from Saitama Prefecture, so I hope you will eat a lot of them.
Thank you very much.
It looks delicious!
Wow!
It's full of vegetables and it looks delicious.
It's healthy for Ino, isn't it?
It's healthy for Ino.
We have prepared a menu that you can enjoy fresh vegetables unique to urban agriculture.
What I was particularly interested in in Kanagawa was Nikujaga made with Ino's potato.
Thank you for it.
Wow!
It's delicious!
Wow!
It has a strong flavor and it's very delicious.
It reminds me of my hometown.
That's right. It's Hokkaido, isn't it?
I haven't eaten it since I came to Germany.
Thank you very much.
I'm grateful for it.
It's a taste you can feel in your hometown.
Well, I'd like to try the corn made with Ino's corn that was near the place where I pulled out the edamame earlier.
It's sweet!
Is it sweet?
It's delicious!
It's so sweet that it's the first time I've ever eaten such sweet corn.
It looks delicious.
It's very delicious.
It's the best corn I've ever eaten.
It's delicious. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
This corn was also pulled out in the morning before you two came here.
Did you just pull it out?
Yes, we just pulled it out.
Wow!
It's amazing!
I felt like it was fresh.
Thank you very much.
It's delicious. Thank you very much.
It was delicious!
We ate it all.
It was delicious.
It was really delicious! Thank you for the meal!
Finally, they have a question for Ms. Iino.
As a city agriculture producer, what do you think is your mission?
I think it is important not to change for the future.
I think it is important to continue delivering to consumers all the time without changing.
I think it is important.
Speaking of not changing, it is called "daifuku" which is 150 years old.
It is more than 150 years old.
It is "daifuku" which shows the trade that our area made.
It has sweet potato, carrot and radish at the bottom.
It is amazing!
We are making what we are making in our area now and what will not change in the future.
It is 150 years old.
We are trying not to change and doing agriculture that can attract people's attention.
I think it will be the cutting edge of our era and I do it every day.
I think it is amazing!
It is amazing!
It is wonderful!
I think it will not change.
I am afraid of it but I will do my best.
I am sure you will do your best.
One more thing.
Is there anything you are glad about doing city agriculture?
It is close to consumers and I can interact with consumers.
I can interact with restaurants.
At supermarkets, people often ask me "Was this delicious the other day?"
Vegetables don't speak, so it's encouraging to hear consumers' voices.
I'm happy about vegetables, too.
Also, since it's in the city, people who don't have much to do with agriculture can learn about agriculture by working.
I think it's unique to urban agriculture to have more opportunities to feel agriculture in such places.
That's wonderful.
But in the end, you said you wanted to do agriculture in your car.
I did say that.
Thank you.
I also want to help my grandmother's family more.
My grandmother is from a farm, so I hope you'll help her.
I'm looking forward to it.
Actually, there are environments where people who want to do it can do it.
What?!
Farmers can share their farmland with consumers.
Farmers can teach farmers how to grow vegetables.
I want to do it.
I want to do it in person.
There are many places like that in the city.
Really?
You can rent it.
I didn't know about it.
It's new.
You can grow delicious vegetables at home.
Even beginners can do it.
Don't worry.
You can learn a lot.
Thank you for your time today.
Thank you.
How did you like it?
I thought it was wonderful to be able to support producers just by eating delicious domestic vegetables.
I had a lot of fun experiencing it.
I felt that it was not natural to eat fresh vegetables today, and I felt that I really had to thank you. Thank you very much.
We will continue to work hard and do our best every day to provide you with vegetables that you can say are delicious, so please take care of us.
