Dude... Relax. My mom has been making tortillas since I was not even here. You pick the corn, you cook the corn, you grind the corn on a stone hand grinder again and again til it becomes dough like, then you cup a hand full inside the palm of your hand and you roll it inside until it shapes down into a circle that'll keep growing the thinner it gets, you put it in a hot clay Comal, you turn it once and once a thin layer fluffs up, the tortilla is done. She did this shit during the cival war in 1988 while bullets flew passed. And to this, day, they're just fucking tortillas just as these are just noodles. Cup noodle soup, pop open at water cook for 3 min. Boom. Mind blown.

[@robrancorian8541]

I love the underlying principle of meditation. Once you achieve skills high enough that you do not need to "think" about what you are doing and instead you "feel" it, it becomes part of a "ritual" of sorts. That is what makes excellent chefs so excellent - they "know" how to prepare their food, not just have the knowledge to do so. Cause the knowledge can be learnt in a few months, but the "knowing" only comes with much practice and training and an inner "state" of mind.

[@strongfp]

The smug look on that mans face when it's all done and being prepared for service just shows how much this person loves what he does. True skills comes within, it's something that a person is infatuated with, in a good way, it's something that a person wakes up every morning wanting to go to work and create and invent and see a final product no matter how many times they have done it. It's more than a passion, it's a life. I am a welder by trade, and when I lay down a good bead, or see a good well-fit-together project it puts a smile to my face, knowing I worked hard on it. This is more than noodles. it's a lost respect for people with talent who use their hands, mind, and knowledge of the materials given to you.

[@bhod6120]

I don't really see it as "smug" more of a humble look to it. Imo.

[@MrJizzy181]

Very nicely done. Soba Noodles are not easy to make. It is made of buckwheat flour. He uses only buckwheat flour and buckwheat starch. Normally you would mix normal wheat to it to prevent the noodles from braking or thinning to much. But wheat weakens the unique and very delightful taste of it. Also... buckwheat flour has the tendency to split itself from water in the dough, so you have constantly control it's moisture and work the dough. The only problem I have with this whole thing is how overly dramatic they made it. But everything else is pretty OK. He is proud of his work. Like a blacksmith of his sword. A cheesemaker of his Parmesan or Cheddar. Or like a mechanic of his newly build racecar. All good craftsmen and women deserves respect. Since they bring us the goods we so crave and proudly display. No matter if it's a racecar. A piece of jewellery. Fine silk fabrics. A beautifully crafted piece of furniture. A well assembled rose garden. Or simply the joy of slurping tasty noodles with ponzu. Money may make the world go round. But without craftsmanship you can't spend your money on anything.

[@guttfunk]

chazzatheninja oh sure I'm a hipster but my love for japanese crafts mostly comes from my friend's japanese family, a year of japanese studies and a semester abroad. I'd argue that you can go both ways, perfecting complex things is an interesting thought but it's sort of built in the expression that you can't perfect something complex. I mean, that's the reason you can have a good grasp of newtonian mechanics but climate science has to be a collaborative effort. The japanese traditional craftsmanship is dying to be sure, mostly I think it's because Japan used to be a more or less medieval society up until the arrival of American gunships in the 1800s, so basically what you're seeing is something of a living museum and probably something that used to be around Europe but is hard to find today. In the end it's just a matter of taste I suppose. The American "bigger is better" aesthetic is nice sometimes but I think this kind of thing is a breath of fresh air.

My mom, God rest her sweet soul.. back in the 70s, 80s, would make a Greek delicacy, opening dough using the same technique. .. using that kind of wood, she would roll dough on the wood like this.. then when she would unroll it.. she would make the wickedest "slap cracking n' snapping" sound when dough would unwind and hit the table.. This brought me that memory so unexpectedly..

Wow. I watched a 14 minute video and was so intrigued I thought to myself “he makes it so perfectly and he’s so happy. I feel like he’s imparted the way of soba making unto me” then I realized, I have no idea how to make soba noodles. Nor would they be this perfect. His perfection of craft is probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Also, this makes me think of Food Wars the anime.

[@ernstmayer3868]

Let's be honest: he gets all the chicks with making noodles!

It's 6pm, 75 degrees and sunny out, I am in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and I just spent a half hour sitting in a chair naked watching this guy make noodles. Thanks internet.

Somehow, the simple way of serving it made me feel moved. Strange that I probably would have dropped a tear if someone put his artwork at my disposal to serve my taste. That way of serving the plate appealing humble yet with mastery. Yes, because one important part of cooking is sharing it.

[@MrSHITTYSHORTS]

Its not a recipe! He's just trying to show the craft of his ideal soba noodles. About the care for a fundamental ingredient and one that has a history to it linked into Japanese culture. It's also not the most complex thing in the culinary world but its the art of it being perfect for him and being done right every-time. If you can't comprehend this go to the 'tasty' channel and just watch people put stringy cheese on everything like its some punchline to how to make food taste good.

[@arteblack13]

I absolutely agree. This master likely had to cut his teeth as an apprentice doing something mundane like washing dishes or sharpening knives for years just to show his respect and devotion for HIS master.

[@professionalpotato4764]

Octavius 500 Spinach noodles are pretty different from soba noodles. Though the roots of noodles does go way back to China (they have been the oldest civilization to eat noodles), soba uses buckwheat so the texture is pretty different. Spinach noodles are made with normal wheat flour and then added with the spinach if I'm not wrong.

[@Shamariah2011]

Someold rustydude your name speaks for itself. You are incorrect the process its very complex. It’s a mixture of buckwheat and the perfect proportions of gluten so the dough can be elastic. It takes years to master this form. Let’s see your first 100 attempts. I bet you fail to come close.

[@Lightzy1]

Fell asleep after a few minutes with the snooker-commentator. Woke up near the end and he's only done noodles. It's going to be full feature film length if he does sauce huh

[@tashidel5469]

omg, hilarious!!!! :)

Its amazing how there is actual musical rhythm in everything that he does!

[@austinmarius850]

This illustrates the beauty of humanity. Even though some of his motions were machinelike the fundamental truth is that we are creative and thus far only we have been able to place multiple mechanical sequences in such an order is to actually produce something aka create. And THAT I think is pretty damn cool.

Soba Master Tatsuru Rai demonstrates his Japanese ASMR craft

[@othullo]

i was fortunate enough to have experienced his craft in his restaurant in Niseko. The experience was great, the food, duck soup soba was nice, it's a simple dish, so it won't be as spectacular as a wagyu steak or otoro sushi, but it was as good as soba can get. and it's reasonably priced too. It's more of a. theater experience to watch an old japanese tradition.

[@MrTrapper28]

It can only be Japan. Such finesse, style and simplicity. I love the serving basket - beautifully made! x
