A Life of Making Bread as a Mother of Four | Sourdough bread making in Japan

I would like to interact with you in the comments section. Please feel free to write me a message
-------
Growing rice, raising vegetables, dive in the ocean to catch fish, and baking bread.
Shoko Iwaki and her partner Shogo of "Wara Pan" live a near-self-sufficient lifestyle while raising four children.She produces and sells community based bread by appointment only at the bakery next to the house which they live. She is self-taught in baking, and all of bread is made with home-cultivated leaven, without using commercial yeast. The bakery building was self-built by his partner Shogo over a period of two and a half years. This is the ideal combination of living and baking.
Owner: Shoko Iwaki
Bakery: Wara Pan
Location: 2565 Katada, Shima-cho, Shima City, Mie Prefecture

She is a wonderful strong woman. She works so much. All those hours standing on her feet, making all that beautiful bread. I wish her so much happiness and love in her life. She deserves it. Thank you for sharing.

[@reiyawatanabe]

I think she had the values she cared about from early on. That's why her life has not been blurred since then.

[@shades3142]

So much respect and admiration for this lady. Being a baker is hard itself, let alone running your own small bakery business with 4 kids. Kudos to her. ❤ I'd love to try her bread. It looks wonderful 😍

[@reiyawatanabe]

Thanks for giving us heartwarming message!

[@maltasweet1396]

Her bread is spectacular. The crust, the air pockets, the inside colour. Truely, this is one of those times where I wish I could reach into my screen just to grab a bite from that bread. Wow. I bake bread, but this leaven idea is new to me. I only found about it by viewing this channel

[@reiyawatanabe]

Please try it by using her method!!

[@shv8339]

She is wonderfull i like her stile and her relax for every situation with 4 Childeren 🥰

[@reiyawatanabe]

They are a really nice family and craftsmen. I got to know them through filming too, and we became friends.

[@hanaamik]

Such beautiful flavors and thoughtfulness put into the bread, there is no doubt it would be good to the body. I’m inspired to be more bold and experiment! I also love seeing bakers working near their families and home. Thank you for sharing these wonderful people and their work!

[@reiyawatanabe]

Thank you for your comment. They were a really warm family. The bakery is located in a very rural area of Japan, but please message them on Instagram and come visit.

[@karenbrooks3765]

What a charming woman and family. Her flavours are so interesting. Thank you for making this video and sharing.

[@reiyawatanabe]

Thanks for your comment! They are really nice family. We got friends although we met for filming.

[@julien.2573]

I loved the vibe of this one 😄 There is definitely material to make a light-hearted feature film 😆

[@reiyawatanabe]

It's going to be a short film.

[@Kara_2505]

Great one, what a cool person! I really liked the wild yeast she uses and the way she adapts the ingredients to the seasons. Everything looked so good and the different ingredients were so appealing. Wish I could taste it all. 😊 Thank you. 🙏

[@reiyawatanabe]

Thanks for sharing your experience. It was first time for me to watch leaven from tea leaf. But I understood the usefulness by hearing her thoughts.

[@Kara_2505]

​@@reiyawatanabe Yes I found that interesting too!

[@reiyawatanabe]

Baking bread is really deep.

[@annabodhi38]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication.

[@Thelaceyjoy]

She is a total inspiration. Can someone please expand upon the wild yeast water, does she add kefir grains.. what did she add to cause fermentation? I def want to try this, I’ve never seen someone do this in bakeries here in SoCal

[@reiyawatanabe]

Thanks for your comment! To make fermented water, I see she added lemon, raisins and tea. The lemon and raisins have yeast on the surface, and the sugar content of the raisins dissolves in the water, so the yeast feeds on the sugar and multiplies. I honestly don't know how the tea would act on the fermentation either. You can ask her directly on Instagram if you'd like!

わたしもパンを趣味で作りますが、上手になりたいばかりです。 でも、パンを作るのがまるで粉も菌も愛情込めて育てている様で、 考え方が変わりそうです。 好きから生まれるパワーがパンになるみたいで素敵です。 焼き上がったパンもステキですね！

한국에 있는 제빵사들도 일본처럼 작지만 자신만의 철학을 갖고 운영하는 베이커리들이 많이 생기면 좋겠다. 우리는 너무 유행에 휩쓸려 어딜가나 비슷한 제품만 찍어내고 있는건 아닌지..? 스스로 질문하게 만드는 좋은 영상을 올려주셔서 감사합니다! Your video makes me think, what kind of bakery do I want to create? Rather than just following the trends.. Thank you so much for sharing inspiring videos!

[@yongjinnkim9207]

한국인들은 자신만의 취향이나 주관이 없고, 누군가가 "이게 유행이다"라고 정해주는 것을 따라가는 수동적인 습성이 있기 때문입니다.

[@ydhb6169]

@@yongjinnkim9207 맞아요ㅎㅎ 우리는 요즘 더 크게, 더 크게만을 외치고 있는것 같아 안타깝습니다.. 유명 셰프들에게 컨설팅 맡겨 오픈한 가게들에는 이러한 감동을 느낄수 없지요. 일본은 작지만 주인의 철학이 담긴 가게들이 많은것 같아 부럽네요~ 뭔가 베이커리에 입장하기전 설레는 감정이 생길것만같은 낭만이 살아 있는것 같습니다 ㅎ 맛있고 맛 없고를 떠나서 자신만의 철학을 갖고 장사한다는것은 정말 멋진것 같습니다!

[@reiyawatanabe]

한국에서 빵집을 시작할 계획이신가요? 트렌드를 따르지 않고 나만의 오리지널리티를 살리는 것은 정말 어려운 일인 것 같아요.

[@reiyawatanabe]

그 생각은 빵이 주식이 아닌 나라에서 공통적으로 느끼는 것 같다. 외국 문화이기 때문에 스스로 판단할 수 있는 축이 약하죠. 일본도 마찬가지인 것 같아요.

[@reiyawatanabe]

네, 자신의 철학을 믿는 가게는 비단 빵집에만 국한되지 않는 것 같아요. 우리 집 근처에 있는 주인 혼자 운영하는 자전거 수리점도 정말 멋있어요. 같은 이유입니다. 가게의 규모를 키우고, 수익을 늘리려고 하다 보면, 미쳐가는 부분이 생기게 되죠.

A wonderful chef and woman. I would eat anything she made if I was blindfolded.

[@reiyawatanabe]

Thanks! I have same opinion.

[@takahashinaomi7269]

パンがあまり好きではなかった私ですが、笑パンさんのパンはおばあちゃんのおにぎりのようなぬくもりのある食べると心が満足するパンです。どこでも食べたことの無いぱんかも。インド人夫は笑パンさんのパンを食べてニヤニヤがとまりませんでした。どのパンも個性たっぷりで大盤振る舞いで最高です。 あたたかい家族、昔ながらの暮らしで菌もうまいのかも❤

[@reiyawatanabe]

コメントをくださりありがとうございます！ おばあちゃんのおにぎりっていい表現ですね。でも確かに心が満たされるパンだと僕も思います。

Gracias por su bonito mensaje. Y me alegro mucho de que siempre veas mis vídeos. Tienes razón, los panaderos comparten su valiosa experiencia y sus conocimientos con nosotros.
