Great stuff really looking forward to capturing some landscapes and local environmental portraits. Any local legends worth photographing?

This is nice, I am looking forward to talking with Justin Potts in January on the #seekingsustainabilitylive talkshow series- he knows so much about Japan and how to develop a more sustainable future of travel here in Japan that is better for visitors and locals :)

Everyone can ferment at home from local supplies. You can make your own sauerkraut, all kinds of fermented vegetables, mead (which I highly recommend), apple cider vinegar, apple cider (yes even this and it will cost you next to nothing), fermented oats and list goes on and on. All you need is clean container, filtered water, salt, about half an hour of your time, whatever ingredient you want to ferment and a shelve to store it on. You can make a batch of sauerkraut that will last you an entire year for fraction of what you would pay for it in grocery store.

(you have 1 more follower on your channel, great job i like your voice 😁)

The noh (was it like that?😓) dance remembered me to "sevillanas" And that From here 😍😊😊😊

amazing stuff!

Very interesting especially the mention of fermenting with miso.

Excellent video; thank you very much!

Thank you so much for sharing this, it is absolutely awesome and inspiring! I love Japanese cuisine and fermentation in many forms. I love the deep respect of tradition and culture you are preserving, keep up the good work!

素晴らしい動画。日本人である私も知らなかった佐渡を教えてくれて有り難う。

Wonderful video! I visited Sado when I lived in Japan in the 1980s. Nice to see that it appears to remain slow-paced and unspoiled.

Very nicely done video. Made me want to rush over to Sado. Thank you for sharing.

Nice! I wish the western world had more of these community and tradition implanted into it. buying local , hand made foods and non food items. its so rare nowadays...

Ondeko!!! Wow! I am so happy that someone took the time to visit Sado and make a video exploring the culture. My family is from Sado, and I've always thought it was the most beautiful place in the world... and the food is exceptional, no place in the world has better rice, fish, and milk. Thank you so much for creating this video!

Wow! Thank you for making these videos, they are excellent. I am a Nissei and even I am learning so much from your videos (and I considered myself a foodie, haha)! I recognize that bridge you were standing in front of... Did you get to enjoy the Niigata Matsuri there, by any chance?

Please keep doing what you're doing!! I loved these two episodes of your documentary series and I really look forward to seeing more. I hope you still plan on continuing it. :)

懐かしの岩首鬼太鼓。鼓童研修生として佐渡で暮らした２年間、祭りで鬼打ちをさせてもらいました。祭りとは、芸能とはと考えたときに一番に頭に浮かぶのが岩首のお祭りです。今年は行きたいなぁ。
