A man in Japan has done what French gourmets thought was impossible.Toshihide Takase, 76, has spent half his life figuring out how to farm a particular species of snails. The species, which is used to make the French delicacy Burgundy escargot, is at risk of extinction and is particularly hard to breed. Can Takase’s home-bred snails rival the taste of snails foraged in the wild?

The guy’s research and progress started at a snail’s pace but eventually blazed a trail.
At that's how the movie Turbo was born.
😂
@@EdibleDiarrhoea--... but eventually caused diarrhoea.
Well said
Lol, well done
We can conclude, He snails it
Yea snailed it 🐌 😏
Yeah ! Snailed it 😄
i dont get it
Next project for this guy: Growing French chefs right in Japan.
😆
Another great example of perseverance, which is one of the virtues behind Japan's success.
Too bad the French cannot overlook the colab with Japanese. Pretty funny considering the wine industry
Small advice, the music is too loud to hear over this man; great documentary as always, SCMP.
maybe try to lower down the music volume a bit, or not using it at all. its annoying
👍
He's happy snails are happy music is celebrating their happiness
If ya don't like it then shooooo shooo
@@Ame_no-seireiI loved the cute happy music choice made for this video but anyone here that is listening to the video by ear will definitely tell you that the volume was just too much, no need to be rude
Seriously, did Christopher Nolan direct this video?
RIP to those listening on headphones
The dedication and perseverance are incredibly impressive. One guy's dream can change an industry.
This is very cool. I hope farmers in France can learn from him. No telling what the climate change will do to the snail population.
a south china youtube chanel making content of a japanese that spends years to perfectly cultivate french food. this is the essence of internet
They cover stories all throughout Asia. It's why I'm subbed to them. 😁
in english!
In english too
truly the real mr. worldwide
I THINK THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS TOO LOW, CAN YOU TURN IT UP A BIT LOUDER?
His slow and steady perseverance eventually helped him win the breeding race
As a French guy, this man is awesome.
I’m grateful for his efforts in favor of quality snails
There are people very successfully farming Helix Pomata in Europe. As child my grandmother once in a while send me out to forage a bucket full. She fed them a few days on milk. Afterwards they found their doom in a delicious soup or brazed in their shells with garlic butter. Nowadays it is forbidden to forage them in our area. We children played with the snails setting them on top of a wooden fence in one large line or using them for snail races. There were lots of them in our garden.
Go relentlessly in pursuit of your dreams and nothing is impossible.. I repeat nothing is impossible ! Whatever you do sky is the limit for a relentless mind.
I tried it, tastes like linguine pasta with the texture of an oyster
GAMBARE OJI SAN!!!!! I hope some Japanese restaurant in France will take a chance to introduce Takase-san's special white snails to French people! (Or even a french restaurant)! That would be so cool.
snail sushi, let's try it
@@lars-akechesburg9911 Maybe not that far. Haha!
He's a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will
Slow and sure wins the snail race! :)
Those snails look very nice and clean.
lol that Maplestory snail picture on the walls at 2.54 hahaha!
lol thats not the maplestory version
@@studyou1016
AHHH I LOVE maplestory. I'm so happy any time someone mentions it.
Hey there, french guy living in Burgundy here.
Used to play with those snails in the backyard as a kid, never expected they were considered a delicacy!
The only thing he knew was he wanted to do it, everything else he had to learn even though everyone kept rejecting his efforts and today he teaches the world....
What an amazing life to have lived.
The Japanese did it again! Amazing.
Salute this Senpai's pure dedication and determination 🤩
The snails in this video are very cute.
There's always craftsmen like this who will spend most of their life on a single thing that a generalist like me can't even begin to fathom but can only give respect.
In case anyone wants to know more:
Snail featured: burgundy snail
Farmer: Toshihide Takase, Age 76
background music is annoyingly loud, gosh!
That's the best part of it! They're just as annoying as the comments.
Respect for this Man for spending most of his life doing this! truly amazing!
Japan has perfected what French cannot do
I am breeding 25,000 crickets in my room but I would never ever eat one.
me with dermestid beetles😂
I’ve eaten dried super worms,not bad,I did try a fresh one once,very woody flavor.
I salute your dedication and hardwork!! I wish you all the best.
I didn’t know that snails can be edible when I’ve seen this - sooo yummy 💜
Please make an isekai anime of this guy reincarnated as an overpowered snail
Generous and awesome guy
R.I.P turbo
I haven't tried land snail before but water snail i did. If you're not a big fan of cartilage from any animal like pig and cow. It won't be your taste due to the fact that it is rubbery like kind of textures. For thr land snail... I had no idea what kind of textures it would be.
Of all things to build international relations, I did not expect it to be snails
Background music is too loud
I like it actually.
Legendary monster rancher!
im impressed by his perseverance
But the real question is how and where did he get the funding from? Savings? I mean for forty years working in the project!
He was the president of a factory that made steel frames for buildings.
your video was a brilliant blend of information and creativity!
He discovered the secret to immortality and is not taking any chances
Great Big Story typebeat
I have to imagine his product will be more consistent than the wild harvested snails.
Japanese are on another level
I love escargot
The song a little bit slow.. i still can hear the conversation
Escargot: Remake 🐌
I remember eating one from Safeway in the late 80's or early 90's. They had it in deli section. They don't sell that there anymore.
well it finally paid off! ❤❤
The wagyu Snail
Why does the title and thumbnail feel like one of those movie recap videos lol
it took him seven years to get authorized before he started alkshshs
Mad man with a can of salt breaks in one of these days
Escargot barbeque is delicious, indeed.
I wonder how he transports snail samples to France. Are they carry-on luggage? Or are they treated escargot?
No! Not Gary!
Three years for a bite size piece of protein?!?! 🐌
BGM too loud..
It is up to French customers to decided whether Takeshi's carefully nurtured snails as delicious as those from the wild. 😑
Man spent 40 years on this meanwhile people making fun of the french people all these time because they are snail eaters 😂
Japanese artisanry is always the best
The snails look so cute
Music too loud...
Only a Japanesse can andestand!❤
This concludes that snails in his farm have 2 - 3 years to enjoy life before they are cooked.
4 months --watch it again
why the loud music
Saizeriya secrets revealed
Great vid. Btw, Ive never tried this dish.
Well, Dang----Now we need a follow up to see if the French would prefer these over their home grown ones in a blind taste test. Seriously though? A blind taste test over two variety of snails. :D Which is the better tasting snail? I have had them a few times and each time it just tasted like whatever it was bathing in.
He should have done snail caviar along with his current operation
GENIUS!!!!!!!
I'll eat them all!!!!!
lol
All things considered, this is the most japanese thing for a French dish that the French wouldn't even care all that much for
And here in my country those snails are considered pest and no one wants to eat them
I'm sure those snail would be more delicious freshly made than frozen storebought. I tried once which is those storebought it wasnt great safe to say xD
Imagine spent 40 years just to eat a snail one day
Wagyu 🐌?
Snails taste great, but they're too disgusting and scary to handle with bare hands
Is AntsCanada voicing over this one?
Ants Canada? That you?
Junji ito story material 😊
tasty? nope. that is the harsh reality. A squid or octopus tastes way better and it is cheaper
taste, like humour, is subjective.
The music ruin it...
A typical Japanese otaku
In Japan each and every thing takes years
When I visited Paris, I discovered too they were very smelly and all BLACK ewh
Tune down the mf music
Snails sashimi
Chinese already covering it
how about as an experiment try to release 10% of the snails in the forest let's see what would be the outcome.
＃日本人現在在洋食生活
didnt finish watching cause music was so loud and annoying
Takes 2 to 3 years to grow to a mature size and gone in 1 minute..... 😐
Based snail man
How kind of him to raise them to their buttery doom.
Don't let them get out! We discovered in California that they can be a terrible invasive species!
different species
Raised for japanese escargot.... now I have seen it all. What's next, Snail sashimi?
They are eating this in France. And it's delicious.
The music is irritating me. Please stop lol
We miss the Great East Asia Great Co-Prosperity Sphere. 🎌
