Amanita Muscaria is the variety you seek. I believe it's endemic to siberia. It's also poisonous, so probably not a great idea to eat them. If you wanna feel 10 feet tall, you're probably better off just wearing somebody else's glasses.
Right! They’re mysterious. I was the same - until I came to Japan! It’s just such an important ingredient in cuisine here that it’s good to know them and they’re super healthy!
Mom and I loved this!! She was telling me about how she would go looking for mushrooms when she lived in Minakami. She would go to the mountains near Fujiwara in the fall and pick mushrooms with her friend who ran Minakami onsen. Thank you so much for your episodes! We both miss Japan and are hoping to make one more trip if she stays healthy enough to travel....she will be mid 80's ❤
@@anand.raveendran oh wow! I hope people come to watch 🙏 that’s why creators create. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll work hard to get the word out myself.
The sheer variety of mushrooms is amazing! So many ways to enjoy their flavor. You really had to trailblaze to get to those coveted spots. Well shot and paced. Really enjoyed this John! 👍🍄
Hey John, I appreciate you making a video on mushrooms. Mushroom cultivation and scavenging is definitely an interesting topic! Japan has a lot of the "best" edible mushrooms the world has to offer.
At university when I was an undergrad, our prof said to collect mushrooms in a mesh bag or something similar so the spores can be distributed whilst trudging through the woods. This was fascinating, John!
I love this new show! I want some Japanese mushrooms now!! Thank you for showing us all the work that goes into these perfect bites of pleasure from Japan!
I really like these special videos, they help deepen my appreciation and understanding of Japan. I used to accompany my grandparents when they would collect wild pine mushrooms.
very cool idea for a video! as mushroom enthusiast I am glad you enjoy them as well and bring light to the subject! never tried many of these japanese ones!
Fascinating video, John! It was nice to follow the mushrooms from the ground/farm to the market to consumption. From someone like me who does not usually like mushrooms, even I would find it tempting to try the assortment of freshly picked mushrooms shown here.
As always, thank you for such an informative video. you can learn from your videos things you cannot find anywhere else about in japan!! thanks again John!
John you rock dude! I remember suggesting something like this a while ago and almost forgot, but not you! You went and made an amazing informative and relaxing video. Always well researched, always high quality content. Thank you.
Love how gracious the JRstaff were at the end. I guarantee that if Mushroom Stand had all those varieties, they’d have to change their name to “Mushroom Kingdom”. No Bowsers welcomed! 🤣🤣🤣
The JR Staff was so kind and helpful. They spoke English too - a big change from 20 years ago when I first came here. HAHA! When I see the CEO again, I will mention it - I'd like to try more mushrooms there. He gave us some soup to take home which Kanae loved!
ONLY in JAPAN * John Daub That’s a guarantee of more future business in my book. Just wish I wasn’t allergic to mushrooms. But the sound when they were in the fryer...that was a beautiful sound.
So happy to see new videos from you! I like the new animation at the beginning. You make me wanna be in Japan in every video I watch of yours. I love how informative they are and I can just feel the enthusiasm and joy you have for what you do. Thank you so much! Peace&Love&Light ☮☯️🕉
You should give the mushrooms a few light taps before picking them, if possible. This causes the mushroom to drop spores and lets more mushrooms grow back at the same spot after you've picked them. =D
I really enjoy your farm to table series John! I’m So glad you’ve continued it. I know food videos always do well, but it’s super important that we understand we everything comes from. I didn’t know there were so many varieties of mushrooms either in Japan, no wonder they’re so relevant in some of the video games lol. I really love portabella mushrooms as slices on top of a burger or stuffed and baked on an oven. They’re a bit expensive though! I’m so excited to see more food and farm stuff!
What a great vid, you are so sweet with the Japanese people. I admire you for the quality of your work trough out the years. More of these infotanement vids rather than the 'all you can eat' ones please. ☺️ Well done John!! ✨
Wow! Love this farm to table video on mushrooms in Japan. I have always been fascinated with foraging in Japan. particularly all the mushroom varietals. There are so many in Japan. We need to see more videos like this John @ONLY in JAPAN * John Daub
Nice video John! I'm no vegetarian, but I'd love too see more videos that present meat-free food. When it comes to Japan, there are tons of meat-free OKAZU, so dishes that you add to rice. For example Tsukemono which are probably the most traditional food that you can find in Japan!
Arh, that's better! I was at the old channel, thinking where's John??? I hope you can grow "your" channel, and thank you for the Japan insights. I lived in Osaka for 3 years. Possibly the most interesting 3 years of my live. Good luck mate!!
Mushrooms: exist Japan: it’s free real estate So many varieties! The Matsutake could cost one THOUSAND per kilogram? That’s crazy. Learned so much about mushrooms
I enjoyed watching this last night on my iPhone. Watching it again on a desktop computer with a large screen was even more enjoyable. I am not a mushroom person, but your video makes me want to try some of these when I am in Japan again.
So glad you made a live stream for this mushroom video! Gah they're so good, right!?! For a future recipe, try all those mushrooms with some garlic, shallot, salt, pepper, and some chicken stock!
I live in Nebraska and Morel mushroom hunting is huge here when they are in season , restaurants will buy them from people as they are hard to come by.
I love how much work it takes to prepare the growing medium at the mushroom factory. Why can't they treat and reuse the medium again instead of getting rid of it?
Where's the mushroom that allows me to grow twice my size?
😂 🍄 < right here?
Lol 🍄

So funny 🤣
I will always appreciate John’s production value and the care he puts into each of his videos
Really, he is a true artist
Amen
Same, he takes care in so much.
Always has been
These are straight up TV documentary level content! Thank you John!
I don't even like mushrooms that much, but there is always something fascinating about them AND it's a lot of fun searching for them!
Right! They’re mysterious. I was the same - until I came to Japan! It’s just such an important ingredient in cuisine here that it’s good to know them and they’re super healthy!
The more bright and colorful they are, the better they taste.
I have a Russian background and mushroom hunting is what we do back home! We have so many varieties :-). I spotted some of them in this episode.
Mom and I loved this!! She was telling me about how she would go looking for mushrooms when she lived in Minakami.

Totally inspired to make 'shroom nabe and tempura now! 😋🍄 🍲
cant find most of these 15 mushrooms in my supermarket tho...
So many mushrooms! So interesting... and you’ve got to love a good JR pass! 🚅🔖
How come no one is leaving a comment? Marty, you're the first and in elite territory! (Thanks!)

I miss Japan a lot.. Been there 7 times. Would love to visit again. One day..
Been there 0 times...... broke gang
@@robng9064 I hope you’re working and saving money since we can’t travel much at all during the pandemic.
Hopefully next year. Japan is already working on a solution for Tourists. vaccines are also roduced and some Countrys started already with it.
I love the autumn look of Japan! Thanks John for this informative video!

I watched this again after I saw the new mushroom livestream. Very informative.
I love eating mushrooms, this would have been mushroom galore for me. Quality, informative and mouth-watering video. Thanks again John!
I have become such an avid lover of your videos that I now like the video every time before watching it. :)

Thank you so much for the information, I am fans of any mushrooms 🍄
I started watching your videos when I was deployed in Okinawa. Your videos have helped me through some tough times. THANK YOU.
Thank you for your service! ☺️
04:58 oh wow that is like a dream. I wish my local market had this kind of variety.
Fascinating video, John! It was nice to follow the mushrooms from the ground/farm to the market to consumption. From someone like me who does not usually like mushrooms, even I would find it tempting to try the assortment of freshly picked mushrooms shown here.
You absolutely never cease to amaze me with your story telling and educational information about Japanese culture. Thank you.
I don't know why it took me so long to find your new channel. Missed your videos and I am happy to have found your new videos. Much love sensei
As always, thank you for such an informative video. you can learn from your videos things you cannot find anywhere else about in japan!! thanks again John!
Another amazing video! Great stuff!
Thank you Steven! *\(^o^)/*
A chorus of mushrooms in Japan Is love♥️. Watching your only in Japan *go, about mushrooms 🍄 inside the supermarket. Amazing 😉 John‼️👏👏👏👏👍
I've begun liking mushrooms more and more in the past few years, and this entire video had my mouth watering. Great work again, John.
Perfectly shot!
a truly rewarding experience for those who know mushrooms...
4:13 "Is it grape flavored?" Nice joke that didn't get appreciated enough by the lady :)
Ferment them into wine!
Another beautifully produced video! Great topic. Thanks John.

thank you john, I'm sure this will help me calm down
You gotta love john's unique videos, never take them for granted people!!!!!! This is too amazing!!!

Now i know why creator of "Super Mario" made Mario eat mushrooms to gain superpowers.

where did he get the idea of hitting turtles with a hammer?

Welcome - to ONLY in JAPAN *\(^o^)/* no idea what they’re doing over there but the air is much better here.
Been craving for portabello mushroom burger and this made me crave even more. 😅 Thanks for the cool video as always! 👍🏼
Mushrooms: exist
Japan: it’s free real estate
So many varieties! The Matsutake could cost one THOUSAND per kilogram? That’s crazy. Learned so much about mushrooms
The Matsutake is only at its best during a very limited amount of its lifecycle. Too young, and it's bland. Too old, it's bland.
紅葉が綺麗ですね。のどかな東北の映像癒されました。ありがとうございます！
Another great and interesting video about a topic I never had on my radar. Thank you for the insight!
I'm getting some mushrooms for my next meal :D
とりたてのキノコを、空気のきれいな屋外で天ぷら、バターソテー、キノコ汁。めっちゃ美味しそう〜。景色もきれいでした！ステキな動画をありがとう。

That mushroom burger looked delicious.
It was (burp) 😂
This is my favourite sort of Only in Japan episode 👍😆
I usually don’t watch your GO shows. This was refreshing take on a great subject.🍂 🌾 be safe.
thanks john for the informative video on mushrooms.
Fascinating! I love mushrooms and I am moving to Japan in the new year so I will try as many varieties as I can.
Appreciate the hard work! Keep telling these awesome stories!
Thanks John! I love foraging mushrooms as a kid with my family on fields, hays and under banana trees. Love this!
John it was a great video and enjoyed it very much .Video shows how much you care about what you produce
Hardy, peaceful, are
Those that wear caps in the woods,
Like mushrooms... and Jon!
Nice haiku!
I appreciate this video the effort is real.. thanks john
This is seriously high quality content. Thank you John!

Love your content!
Great video John :)

Another really interesting topic, thanks 😊
love using dry shitake mushroom ... autumn colours beautiful
this is and will continue to be my favorite show on youtube. i could watch your episodes all day john. keep up the good work!
I'm so glad you're back making these style of videos!
This was fascinating. So many different mushrooms. Thank your for writing the names in the Japanese writing system too.
In absolute awe of the sheer variety of mushrooms in Japan.
I am cooking mushrooms right now! I now appreciate them much more! Thanks John!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching the adventure, Ruth!
I love how the mountains and forests in Japan are so much like the Great Smoky Mountains and forests here in East TN.
I love mushrooms!. Thanks for sharing.
I came from the IG livestream!! I love eating mushrooms 🍄! Thank you for making this video 👍
Thank you Meybel. You're welcome and comment again next video and I'll pick 3-5 more people for postcards! -john
I love mushrooms, especially fried and sautéed. I like talking mushrooms to parties or the bar as well, they really are a fungi.
Maitake are also known as "hen of the woods in north America. They taste like chicken and ugh!! Im so excited I'll be able to find them in Japan.
They’re EVERYWHERE! A staple of cuisine here.
So glad you made a live stream for this mushroom video! Gah they're so good, right!?! For a future recipe, try all those mushrooms with some garlic, shallot, salt, pepper, and some chicken stock!
I absolutely loved that purple mushroom. Soooo pretty!! 💜
