Thank you for watching! I made one of the most (in)famous traditional Japanese foods; natto! I used to hate the flavor and texture and all, but I somehow overcame and I eat it almost everyday now. It is super healthy and I've been wanting to make it at home so I gave it a try. ご視聴、ありがとうございます！今回は頂いたお米と自家製納豆のシンプルな一品です。昔は苦手でしたが、今ではほぼ毎日納豆を食べています。自家製だと大豆以外でも作れるので、黒豆納豆にハマっている今日この頃です。昔は苦手で、今は好きという方はいらっしゃるのでしょうか...?
残念ながら苦手です。When I first tried natto I wanted to like it so bad, but I hated it! I've been trying to enjoy it but so far, I'm still not a fan. I hope I get there one day!
I love how Jun surprisingly found a Natto friend in Poki. I know he is a former stray cat so he does have a really strong food drive but from the way he eat it, I think he genuinely like natto that Jun's make.
@@ldkmelon Yes, something about the fermentation too. Every cat I've known of goes feral for bread products, across the board. It's hilarious when they just forget they're obligate carnivores lol
Jun: [gets a kitchen with raised everything so it hurts his back less] Also Jun: [decides to give the ‘Big Boye’ (tm) piggy backs probably also hurting his back] Ps. This channel is just beautiful and wholesome and 140% cat friendly
@@tedstrikertwa800 THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING!!! ahahaha but usually when cat's calm like that, he knows that he'll be fed everyday so i don't think pokki's still interested in the trashcan anymore 🤣🤣
@@tedstrikertwa800 I think Jun has carefully catproofed their garbage cans against Poki by now, because it was a real battle for a while. Rachael almost went neurotic with how often she had to clean the stinky dumpster diving cat.
I know RUclips comments isn’t the place for things like this but dang, this video is bittersweet for me. I started watching Jun’s videos years ago after thinking Nagi looked a lot like mine and my wife’s orange and white tabby cat in a thumbnail, and then just loving the videos. We had to put him down two days ago after he got very sick, so man this was a mix of emotions. Many long years to Nagi and friends ❤️
Same here but with Poki. He looks so much like my tuxedo baby that I had to put down back in October. It’s hard, but seeing others love their cats so much helps.
Best wishes to you and your wife, friend. A few years back I sent my little orange tabby, Pasta, to the great kitty playground in the sky and it still hurts. But, since then I've been forcefully chosen by two new cats. 3 years ago by a tortie that just wandered into my house one day and wouldn't leave despite my attempts to leave notes for other owners, send her back out, etc. Now she's sleeping in her bed next to me in my home office, where we spend at least 8 hours every single day side-by-side. And, my second and more recent addition: a 3-legged kitten my vet friend found and healed despite that "we usually would put a kitten in this condition down, but I thought this one had a chance." I said I'd take her, and fast forward 5 or 6 months and she's asleep on my lap while I type this and very, very attached myself and her sister--who I didn't think would take so quickly, but here we are. I miss Pasta every day and never thought I'd have another pet after her because I was afraid it would hurt too much, y'know? But, with my new little ladies--Shoyu and Dashi--I see how happy we make each other and it brings me so much comfort to know that every day they wake up and go to sleep we bring each other a full day of happiness, comfort, and love. And in turn it reminds me that I did that for Pasta, too. Every single day of her life, from beginning to the very end, she knew there was that same creature by her side that loved her unconditionally. How many creatures in the entirety of the universe get to experience that? I'd venture your tabby lived a life quite the same. Well done to us then, I say. :)
The funny irony of Jun finally getting a tall enough kitchen for himself, but still choosing to clean and do other tasks in it bent down because of his love and patience for and with his cats and their liking to stand on his back while he does stuff ^.^ An unexpected sight into what true love looks like: You balancing your own wishes with the ones from your loved ones
@@brandonday2494 Both Nagi and Poki (and definitely Pichi) would run off and neither like to be on a leash, lol. Haku is a special case and has an uncommonly chill personality, which is why he gets to ride with Jun and even be off the leash in a lot of videos. But it's a cute concept :) Edit: I see I was wrong, Nagi is great on a leash!
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Pretty sure Nagi is trained enough to not run off or anything now. He managed just fine in this video. Though he does probably need to stay in the basket or on a leash, Haku is still probably the only one who can stay off the leash. Poki and Pichi would definitely run off though XD
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley That's literally Nagi in the basket in this very video. Haku and Nagi are both ok with going for walks on a leash. Pichi wouldn't tolerate it. Poki maybe they could try it in the yard but yeah he's probably not game for it either.
I actually like the flavor now. I wasn't a fan of sushi, green tea, tomato juice, etc before...but I love them now. I think my taste has been changing as I age. ^^
What does it actually taste like? I always hear people talking about this like it's super disgusting but is that just the visual? Is the texture as slimy as it looks? I'm trying to figure out what aspects of this are bad because if it tastes OK/good I think I could try it. It is supposed to be extremely healthy.
@Lucysmom26 It tastes like beans, soy sauce and wasabi; together, they make a pretty good combination. People who are new to natto tend to struggle with the texture, which is slimy and chewy. However, many people, including myself, genuinely enjoy natto on top of rice or in miso soup.
I am so delighted at how brave Nagi is these days!! Look at him enjoying a bike ride like Haku! Hopefully you guys are really proud of him and of yourselves helping him get to where he is now. I'm sure the process has been long and difficult but I see the results and they are beautiful. Edit after finishing the video: Your work with Poki is also showing through so much! I remember when his energy was just NOT appropriate for a video on this channel. Now he's sitting politely and enjoying end cooking with Jun as the closer! From my perspective, this cat with major food security issues (which I know all too well from having a cat from the street with similar issues around food) has felt so safe in your care that he has been able to build up valuable trust that you will always give him the resources he is desperate for and more. Again I say, the results I see are beautiful and I hope you guys feel proud of your work.
This is the best channel on RUclips. Bar none. Incredible outdoor and drone footage, beautiful music, people helping people, showing agriculture and true farm-to-table preparations, professional and concise cooking instruction, and of course cats. No clickbait, no ads, no silly thumbnails, no outrageously loud or obnoxious intros, no drama, no reacting or poaching others' content. Just pure RUclipsr content. If only every channel were like this.
Right? That rice polisher was so cool! It's amazing that it is electronic, implying it is at least somewhat mass produced. You wouldn't find something like that as say, a wheat grinder in North America!
I was struck with the size of the harvester - less than 1/3 the size of the equivalent machines in the U.S. Since land is at such a premium in Japan, I suspect the size of the fields are equally smaller, and the amount of space needed to store the machines is an issue. I also loved the rice-husking vending machine. Again, not something you would ever see in the U.S. 🤣🥰
You made me cry in the first 40 seconds Jun. Lycoris Radiata. The Japanese Spider Lily. We had them all over the place in my old town of Hooks in Texas. I looked forward to seeing them every year. They're my favorite flower because of how pretty they are and they signal the start of Autumn, my favorite time of year. I've been away from Texas for a few years now and seeing them made me very homesick. And no, I have no idea how or why a flower native to Japan ended up spread all over a tiny, rural town in Texas of all places much less how they managed to thrive so well.
I have really bad sensory issues when it comes to food, but Jun always makes things look so appealing to me! There's always a sense of mysticism in his editing, and it makes it really easy to stay focused on what he's presenting.
I have begun to allow my cats who are curious to watch when I am working or cooking because of you, Jun. I have always known they were interested but didn't think they would stay focused on what I was doing. Yesterday, I found myself pulling a stool up to the front loader washer for the cat to watch the water swish the clothes 🤣
I've always wanted to try natto, but I'm allergic to soy- So it's a huge relief that not only is it a relatively easy process, but it really works with any kind of bean!! I'm definitely gonna give it a shot sometime!
Nice to see Nagi out for a ride! Gorgeous footage too. Your drone game has gotten really good. The new kitchen looks great and very cat interactive. Love it all, Jun. Would love a video about taking the cats out on your bike.
This is such a great channel. It's wholesome, it's about food, it has cats, it has relxaing music, beautiful shots and a whole lot more. Every video is a blessing
I absolutely love the camera angles, the presentation and editing, the presentation of the story, and of course, the cats are like the audience watching you cook. Nice to see you're still doing RUclips. Fans from Thailand
Poki has come so far in his transition from stray to house cat. Before, if he knew one of the cats(or anyone for that matter) was eating, he would try to steal it. Now he's patiently waiting for his turn.
the rice collecting part at the beginning got me teary. you live in such a pretty and natural place! i never knew rice deshelling machines exist. its just so pretty snd it would be so nice to go cycling between those fields in the warm sun. got me feeling al cozy from seeing you. im so grateful for your videos jun! i learn and look at so many new aspects of japan, especially its nature 😭💕
I think the taste is something that grows on you, if you're used to it since you were a kid, then you can eat it no problem. But if you've never eaten natto, it's a hit or miss.
This was such an interesting process to be able to see, especially live with how you filmed the fermenting process via time-lapse. I bought natto on a whim while in a local Asian grocery store near where I live in the United States and I had enjoyed it! It has become something I regularly eat! Thank you for showing that other beans could be used to make natto!
I accidentally fermented lentils once and it looked just like this! Maybe I'll experiment with this recipe and different beans to see what good foods I can make on purpose.
It's wonderful that you have now your own amazing kitchen to share your cooking skills with us. Thank you, Jun! I like the details you show and the drone shots as well.
Poki is like a cat I had(she passed away about 6 years ago), she loved cooked food so "people-food" was a significant part of her diet lol. My mother once served her a human serving of lasagna as a joke, and my cat finished it in one sitting(probably don't do this lol, while it's technically not dangerous a lot of cats would probably get a tummy ache). She always wanted to taste my food, and she'd truly eat nearly anything. She wasn't a rescue or anything, just a foodie since birth I guess. In spite(or because?) of this she lived a long healthy live, very nearly making it to her 18th birthday.
I am 100% convinced that Poki will eat anything. Which does not surprise me XD I find it so cool that you can get rice and have it hulled and take it home *that fresh!*
I've never been this excited to see a video from a channel before. It's always so calming and comfy to watch plus the background music. Just what I needed today
Have been having a not so good time lately, but seeing either of you uploading a video brightened my day considerably. Please give all of your fluffy fur babies some extra cuddles for me!
Thank you so much for the recipe and the asthetic video! I am German and I absolutely love Natto! The first time I've tried it was just out of curiosity because everybody said that it would be disgusting. But I find it quite delicious and I eat it straight out of the box and if it wasn't so expensive to buy I would eat like for boxes of it at once. Guess I need to buy yoghurt maker and make it myself!
Funny how Poki just loved it instantly. Natto looks volatile, but it looks so different compared to anything I've ever tasted that I'd like to try it some day. If I ever were to visit Japan I'd definitely try it.
i just love the way you include your fur babies in the process of cooking, or bringing them along the journey of getting ingredients. i wish all fur parents were like you 🥺
I loved this video for the look into collecting rice from the farmers and then the machine that de-hulled the rice, so cool! And as someone who also makes natto at home, I really appreciated your simplistic approach with such great results! I think sometimes I complicate it too much, though I do make big batches. I did not love the cats and food proximity, but that is your thing
You... you made snot. Poki learned early to bite anything he could get his lips on and to swallow. Although it makes me sad he struggled so long to fend for himself, it makes me laugh and fills me with happiness to see him snatch and gobble anything you put in front of him with a seemingly endless appetite!
Me: (Beginning of the video) Ahhh Another Jun’s ingredients hunt with Hak- Wait.. WHAT?! Nagi?! Wha- Since when the prince started the ride-along training lol Seems there are lots of catching up to do
Great to see you doing your own videos again. The vlogs on the other channel are nice but... I really like these quiet, peaceful kitchen videos - with your kids (cats).
There's something so magnificent and magical about the view of Jun and Poki sitting side by side in front of the counter enjoying Natto. It's like two old buddies chilling in a ramen or oden stall after a day's work.
honestly looking at all the weird fermented stuff we have in the west, i feel like natto gets a bat wrap by us western jp-content watchers. its just another fermented food! and honestly you made it look really yummy! i would like to try natto atleast once!
Poki didn't even sniff the bean on his plate 😂😂😂 I love that Jun sees how much Poki likes it and gives him more. I understand too much of anything can be bad but natto has a lot of bacteria in it that's good for you. I'd imagine some of that would be (at least in small amounts) good for Poki too. Also Poki is a trash goblin (if you have cats you know) so he could probably eat anything and be fine.
Jun, your cats are so mesmerized and appreciative of the work and heart you put in your kitchen they would eat anything you offer them even if it might be toxic because they love you and wants to show it to you. Sometimes I even wonder if one of them will try to give you a chocolate mouse.
Thank you for watching! I made one of the most (in)famous traditional Japanese foods; natto! I used to hate the flavor and texture and all, but I somehow overcame and I eat it almost everyday now.

Natto is an acquired taste. Meanwhile Poki gulps it down and can’t wait for more!😂
Poki is so on brand.
can't tell if Poki is sophisticated, or will just literally eat anything
@@TheMuseLuci Judging by how Poki munches away at the finger, he's either eating anything or begging for more Natto :o
I enjoyed how Poki got Extremely Concerned when Nagi got some before him.
Well Poki is a japanese cat after all, may not be the first time he tasted it in his previous life as a street cat.
5:42 LOL!! Poki reaching his paw wanting to press the button is just the cutest!!
Honestly, I'd be here if Jun posted a video that's just half an hour of drone footage around the area to relaxing music.
Yeah he could just ride around the countryside, alternating cats in the basket, with some nice piano accompaniment and I'd watch a ton of that.

I've never seen a cat that devours natto as quickly as Poki. He's much better than many of us =))
Always here when we need him :). Always giving out the chill and peaceful vibe. Thanks Jun! ❤❤
it’s been so long, happy to see a post. hope all is well, happy holidays
hehehe it's so cute how Poki is like GIVE ME NATTO!!! MORE! MOOOORE!
This was such an interesting process to be able to see, especially live with how you filmed the fermenting process via time-lapse. I bought natto on a whim while in a local Asian grocery store near where I live in the United States and I had enjoyed it! It has become something I regularly eat! Thank you for showing that other beans could be used to make natto!
The overall feeling of harmony in your videos always make my day, thank you for the contetnt!
I accidentally fermented lentils once and it looked just like this! Maybe I'll experiment with this recipe and different beans to see what good foods I can make on purpose.
じゅんさんの動画見る時
通知来た時の嬉しさとオープニングのリラックス効果で最高の気分になって見れるからほんと好き...
It's wonderful that you have now your own amazing kitchen to share your cooking skills with us. Thank you, Jun! I like the details you show and the drone shots as well.
Everything that Jun makes always looks absolutely delicious
Poki is like a cat I had(she passed away about 6 years ago), she loved cooked food so "people-food" was a significant part of her diet lol. My mother once served her a human serving of lasagna as a joke, and my cat finished it in one sitting(probably don't do this lol, while it's technically not dangerous a lot of cats would probably get a tummy ache). She always wanted to taste my food, and she'd truly eat nearly anything. She wasn't a rescue or anything, just a foodie since birth I guess. In spite(or because?) of this she lived a long healthy live, very nearly making it to her 18th birthday.
the music and scenery used in these videos are so relaxing. It seems amazing
I am 100% convinced that Poki will eat anything.
Which does not surprise me XD
I find it so cool that you can get rice and have it hulled and take it home *that fresh!*
I was having a hard time with homework and this popped up. Yay! I appreciate the effort put into these videos.😊
I've never been this excited to see a video from a channel before. It's always so calming and comfy to watch plus the background music. Just what I needed today
These videos are always so impressive. Great work and super inspiring 👍
Have been having a not so good time lately, but seeing either of you uploading a video brightened my day considerably. Please give all of your fluffy fur babies some extra cuddles for me!
Never though you could do this homemade. I love natto! Should definitely try this someday. Nice video Jun!
I love how the kitties are so attentive and inspect everything as food is prepared❤
I'm amazed that Poki liked natto. Amazeball.
I had to watch twice... once to enjoy how adorable the cats are (Haku on Jun's back KILLED me) and another time to learn about the natto!
This was so cool watching the rice being harvested. Amazing.
poki going after the chopsticks is my favorite thing! I just love Captain Poki
日本語字幕本当にありがとうございます！😭
Thank you so much for the Japanese subtitles!😭
Thank you so much for the recipe and the asthetic video! I am German and I absolutely love Natto! The first time I've tried it was just out of curiosity because everybody said that it would be disgusting. But I find it quite delicious and I eat it straight out of the box and if it wasn't so expensive to buy I would eat like for boxes of it at once. Guess I need to buy yoghurt maker and make it myself!
Ich frage mich, wo man in Deutschland die Natto-Bakterien herbekommt. Oder ob man auch andere verwenden kann. Mal im Asialaden fragen.
お久しぶりです！
楽しみに待ってました☺️
Jun needs his own TV show.
Prince Nagi went with you this time! \o/
Haku ❤️ Piggyback rides!
Also, the ricefield all in 1 thresher and the rice polisher was soo cool!
the way nagi blinks at jun at the beginning, it's so adorable
Funny how Poki just loved it instantly. Natto looks volatile, but it looks so different compared to anything I've ever tasted that I'd like to try it some day. If I ever were to visit Japan I'd definitely try it.
i just love the way you include your fur babies in the process of cooking, or bringing them along the journey of getting ingredients. i wish all fur parents were like you 🥺
I will never not be amazing by the rice polishing machine!
So happy to see the new video!
Love seeing you cook with your cats, I've started to let my cats sniff the ingredients now and they seem happy to check everything out for me!
love how that tuxedo cat eats natto like a delicacy. really seems to love it.
Its a good day when junskitchen uploads a video love your stuff 😃
I loved this video for the look into collecting rice from the farmers and then the machine that de-hulled the rice, so cool! And as someone who also makes natto at home, I really appreciated your simplistic approach with such great results! I think sometimes I complicate it too much, though I do make big batches. I did not love the cats and food proximity, but that is your thing
Hi Jun! I been watching you and Rachel for so long I’m so happy the accomplishments you guys made❤❤
You... you made snot. Poki learned early to bite anything he could get his lips on and to swallow. Although it makes me sad he struggled so long to fend for himself, it makes me laugh and fills me with happiness to see him snatch and gobble anything you put in front of him with a seemingly endless appetite!
Me: (Beginning of the video) Ahhh Another Jun’s ingredients hunt with Hak- Wait.. WHAT?! Nagi?! Wha- Since when the prince started the ride-along training lol Seems there are lots of catching up to do
Great to see you doing your own videos again.
The vlogs on the other channel are nice but...
I really like these quiet, peaceful kitchen videos - with your kids (cats).
It's always a good time to see you and the kittens 💖
There's something so magnificent and magical about the view of Jun and Poki sitting side by side in front of the counter enjoying Natto. It's like two old buddies chilling in a ramen or oden stall after a day's work.
Natto is the one Japanese dish i still cannot appreciate. And here Poki just can't get enough
honestly looking at all the weird fermented stuff we have in the west, i feel like natto gets a bat wrap by us western jp-content watchers. its just another fermented food! and honestly you made it look really yummy!
i would like to try natto atleast once!
haha I was super excited to try natto after watching food vlogs. It tastes like gym socks. Id try it again but yeah, the acquired taste bit is no joke
I love the expression put as "bat wrap" imma start using that now
Jun continuing with the Natto adventures is what I'm here for!
Poki didn't even sniff the bean on his plate 😂😂😂 I love that Jun sees how much Poki likes it and gives him more. I understand too much of anything can be bad but natto has a lot of bacteria in it that's good for you. I'd imagine some of that would be (at least in small amounts) good for Poki too. Also Poki is a trash goblin (if you have cats you know) so he could probably eat anything and be fine.
Jun, your cats are so mesmerized and appreciative of the work and heart you put in your kitchen they would eat anything you offer them even if it might be toxic because they love you and wants to show it to you. Sometimes I even wonder if one of them will try to give you a chocolate mouse.
5:41 This Poki is so cute as hell.
超いいキッチン羨ましい、ジュンさんが使うならキッチンも幸せだろうなｗ自家製納豆かぁ〜作ってみようかな♫
I've missed you Jun! Your uploads are the most pleasant thing on youtube!
Poki is such an awesome cat, eating natto!😮 Nagi, gets points for trying one bean….better than I could do.
