Hachome-chan Academy Season 2
Hachome-chan Academy Season 2 has started!
As always, I, Honoka Akimoto, will introduce you to Kasugaishi.
Today, I came to Goto Soboten in Kasugaishi.
Let's go!
Gachon! Gachon!
As you can see, Soboten is spread out in front of the camera.
Thank you for having me!
Hello, my name is Goto Soboten.
Goto-san!
Yes!
Thank you for joining us today!
Likewise!
Wow!
A lot of Soboten are spread out!
I think there are a lot of them.
There are a lot of them!
I have a question for you.
Why is Soboten famous in Kasugaishi?
Kasugaishi used to be a flourishing area.
However, there was an Isewan Typhoon.
Because of that typhoon, apples were sold out.
And that's how Soboten was created.
How many kinds of Soboten are there?
If you include Soboten and other carnivorous plants,
I think there are more than 400 kinds of Soboten.
Wow!
I have a small Soboten at home.
Oh, do you?
Yes!
Is there a Soboten that even beginners can grow?
Would you like to look over there?
Yes!
For example, this one is a little bigger.
Is Soboten like that?
It's a plant that can store water in here, so even if you forget to water it, it will work hard for you.
It's about this big and strong.
Round Soboten is cute, too, but is it long and thin like this?
We call it Soboten and it looks like a rabbit.
It does! It has ears!
It's also called "bunny cactus".
You can tear, stab and increase it.
What do you mean?
If you tear and stab it, you get a root.
It's that strong.
Wow!
You're amazing!
It's gotten bigger from there, hasn't it?
Yes, it looks like a snake.
This is interesting! What is it like?
The one that grows is a little heavy and it looks like it's falling down.
It has flowers, too.
These are flowers.
It's beautiful and cute.
Wow! It's like Soboten!
It's as big and strong as Soboten's king.
This is "Kinshachi".
We also call it "Shachi".
I'm happy.
I'm about 70 or 80 years old, so I'm a senior in Shachi.
You're a senior in Shachi!
Do you also grow flowers?
Yes, I do.
This is a fruit.
Is it Soboten's fruit?
There are seeds inside of it.
Wow! I've never seen that before!
Do you know "dragonfruit"?
Yes, I've eaten it.
That's also Soboten's fruit.
You know it?!
But it does look like one.
I'll eat it.
Can you eat it?
I don't think you can.
Hey!
Mr. Goto!
I've never eaten it.
What's this?
This is Soboten's pillar because it gets taller.
Soboten's pillar.
It's as tall as a pillar of a house.
It's straight.
There's a cute character.
There are three Soboten characters.
Haruyo.
Haruyo?!
Haruyo is its name.
Haruyo!
And Nichimaru.
Nichimaru!
Inosuke.
Inosuke?!
Haruyo is Nichimaru Inosuke's first letter.
Harunichi...
Haruni...
That's kanji.
Haru... ni...
Ah! Kasugai!
That's right!
I'm glad we made it in time!
I'm glad!
Kasugai.
That's why there are three of them.
That's right.
This looks like Soboten.
But it's actually a plant that looks like Soboten.
Isn't it Soboten?
It's not Soboten.
It's a plant called "todaigusaka".
Interesting.
It's an African plant.
And Soboten is a plant from Central America or Mexico.
They're similar but different.
They're similar.
This is a plant called "agave".
This isn't Soboten either.
Oh, it's not?
This is "tequila".
"Tequila" is...
Alcohol?
Is "tequila" made of something like this?
"Tequila" is made of an "agave" plant.
I didn't know that!
You've learned a lot.
I've learned a lot!
Wow! I didn't know that!
Many people think it's a crocodile's drink, but it's made of agave.
I want to tell someone! Agave! Are you drinking agave?
Yes, yes.
This is a crocodile's drink, but you can eat it.
Can you eat it?
Doesn't it look delicious?
Is it delicious? I can't imagine the taste.
It tastes like a little sour and sticky cucumber.
I want to eat it!
This is the crocodile's drink you just ate.
Wow!
You can eat only the white part of it and the skin.
I wanted you to eat this.
Today, we have sweets made of crocodile's drink.
Sweets!
Yes, we have sweets.
These sweets are made by a cake shop in Las Vegas.
They won the Grand Prix in last year's sweets contest.
They won the Grand Prix?
This is a chocolate with jam in it.
Is it a crocodile's jam?
Yes, it's a crocodile's jam. Please open it.
Wow! It's cute!
Look at it! It's a little crocodile!
Can I eat it?
Go ahead.
Thank you for it.
It's good!
It's not too sweet.
Is it a crocodile's taste?
It's refreshing.
It's not bitter or hard to eat.
It was delicious!
Thank you very much!
When you come to Katsugaiji, please come and eat crocodile's jam.
It's healing!
Please come and eat it!
That's all for today's Hachamecchan Academy Season Tour!
