Early next year i plan to expand my rural Japan cafe to include rescuing stray cats in my area to turn it into a unique Cat Cafe. Any help is very much appreciated.

I really appreciate your upload! It is so nice to see how things are in rural parts of Japan. I find them soothing and calming to watch.

[@mathology5710]

A rice club sounds awesome! Great concept, especially for these trying times around the world.

[@BrantRaven]

Love your passion and thank you for explaining how the rice is divided!!

[@EugeMeijster-nf7fl]

You will never starve. 🙏 Happy rice farming! 😊

[@greenbriar07]

Congrat's to the club on a successful harvest! :)

[@RealRuralJapan]

Cheers

[@kneel1]

wow this is so cool, never saw one of those machines before. Love the video this is great footage!! You reap what you sow!

[@ebbichan]

really appreciate this unique perspective your videos bring

[@RealRuralJapan]

Thanks

[@scruffy2629]

Very cool! looking forward to the rice party vid 😁 now im rice hungry!

[@GeoffSeeley]

I've seen one of those DIY machines in another video long ago but I didn't see in action so thanks for that and what an great idea!

[@philboydstudge]

Just looking at your rice pouring out of the milling machine is making me hungry. Beautiful product, if I could I load up my rice cooker with it right now. You must be pleased, as you say, it doesn't get any better than this.

[@RealRuralJapan]

It's very satisfying to be able to do this after putting in the work.

[@kalwongkl]

Great harvest forReiwa 6. Just curious on yield, how many acres gave 1365 kg of grain ? I presume its grain not milled rice. Should make a series of videos from ploughing to harvest next year.

[@RealRuralJapan]

I will be ploughing in a few weeks' time so video inbound. Area is probably an acre or slightly more.

[@CB-sx8xh]

Wow, that's a lot of rice and I bet it's bloody good!

[@doreenjoyner9078]

Love Japanese rice. From a fellow Aussie🇦🇺

[@RealRuralJapan]

Its good stuff!

[@fpcfootball60]

I bet the new rice would make amazing mochi... Now I want mochi and onigiri

[@RealRuralJapan]

It does make good mochi but best to eat the mochi hot when its fresh rice.

[@WANDERER0070]

Rice is nice,I love me some meat or fish w it 😊

[@Bloodworia]

Damn, that is beautiful rice. Are the leftovers from the cleaning machine perhaps used for animal food?

[@RealRuralJapan]

They use it for biochar here and you can get as much as you want for free.

[@cocolenchojapan]

Love it Brother, keep up the excellent content

[@Mr.Randy210]

Now I NEED to know what fresh rice tastes like

[@RealRuralJapan]

Different beast altogether.

[@MsMothball]

Wish I could join a rice club! makes a lot of sense to team up

[@miked2662]

Is the guy in the intro saying “Let’s go Liverpool.”? Lol

[@rinardman]

And, as always, I liked the video. 🤭 And a question: is the rice you get through the rice club cheaper than buying rice? Or is it just all the other reasons for doing it that makes it attractive to you? 🤔

[@RealRuralJapan]

It’s cheaper growing it by about 50%.

[@rinardman]

@@RealRuralJapan Well, that's a significant savings. I was thinking it might be 20%. 👍

[@paoemantega8793]

Good video, thankyou for sharing, keep em coming !

[@ian_s7481]

My friend from Ibaraki recently pulled her back lugging those 30kg bags around to the machine to take the husks off.

[@RealRuralJapan]

They are too heavy for most ladies that’s unfortunate.

[@johncogan8689]

Nice video, cheers. Could you possibly have a video covering rice cookers etc. I'm based in the UK and the rice cookers on amazon are all quite expensive and I have no idea on what to actually buy.

[@RealRuralJapan]

Buy the most expensive Tiger you can afford and you can’t go wrong.

[@jOeLwAlBy]

I recently did a harvest with a couple mates and father in laws fields. He has his own rice milling machine though but I always wondered what those littke boxes were in supermarket car parks.

[@RealRuralJapan]

Cool it’s good fun.

[@richardm4706]

I have a kitchen gadget that removes the husk from brown rice. Sometimes we eat brown rice (healthier) but I do like my white rice. The rice bran (糠 nuka) goes to the chickens (probiotic, gut health, immunity boost) or it gets mixed into compost piles. You can also use nuka to make bokashi bran.

[@RealRuralJapan]

White rice makes you fat but so does everything that tastes so good. Not a fan of brown rice myself.

[@richardm4706]

@@RealRuralJapan that`s the truth.

[@WesFanMan]

Yup, a vending machine for milling rice. Japan.

[@Mr.Randy210]

What do you do with your share of rice? How much do you keep, how long does it last, and how much do you sell or give away?

[@RealRuralJapan]

I give half away and keep half for home consumption.

[@ausmartin1]

Bet it tastes amazing 👏. Just remember to eat small amounts Japanese style. Otherwise, you'll over spike your insulin levels and be diabetic like we are in the West these days.

[@bluryeye1]

Nice Onigiri!

[@maryhildreth754]

The simple things are the best everywhere! Especially just family and home and being together. (Cats are part of the family here - btw, if any of your cats are indoor cats have you considered making a catio for them?)

[@RealRuralJapan]

Jiji has an awesome catio you must be new here so welcome aboard.

[@maryhildreth754]

@@RealRuralJapan I am new, and thank you! We have a catio for ours, made from a chicken coop I bought at Tractor Supply. I have a couple of short videos of the cats in it, although my channel isn't an actual channel, I just put things up for friends and family and whoever to see. I will go look for your catio videos now. :-)

[@benitomussolinki7155]

Doesn't get any fresher than that

[@bobstanden6788]

Love the cat, name? 😸😸 P.S, the word 'guys' becomes annoying after the first 10 times.

[@RealRuralJapan]

Bad habit

[@bobstanden6788]

@@RealRuralJapan Was great to see another insight into living in Japan. The rice collective is a fantastic group. I also watch two other channels on life in Japan. Both have the wife doing all the talking/English subtitles. One husband has started his own channel on his solo trips in a small campervan, first time I've heard him say more that 5 words in a line, LOL. 😁😁 Break that bad habit if you want people to watch your channel more than a few times.

[@Mr.Randy210]

What does "Tama no le" mean exactly, I can't translate it properly. 😅 God's chef? Supreme Cook? Spiritual Nurisher? Friendly Food? I think it's the last one😊

[@RealRuralJapan]

Tama’s house. My wife’s favorite cat who passed was called Tama. Tama is the most popular name for a cat in Japan it’s like Felix or Fluffy is in English.

[@sandyrothman2430]

What a shame they don't at least make haigamai.

[@RealRuralJapan]

You can do this if you want to there are similar machines for this.

[@sandyrothman2430]

Do you at least use the nuka for something, so making hakumai isn't a complete waste of nutrients?

[@RealRuralJapan]

99% of people like good old fashioned new polished white rice and there’s nothing wrong with that.

[@toroblanco800]

What about rice shortage in Japan, they keep talking about? 🤔

[@RealRuralJapan]

Check out my video on it, it was very real.

[@Obeijin]

500 yen , is less than $5 ...

[@RealRuralJapan]

I had to put in another 100¥ at the end to finish the bags. It cost about $4 USD to mill all that rice.

[@10p7]

Do you guys have to buy rice seeds from a specialized shop or use your own? In some countries it is prohibited to use your own, which I find ridiculous.

[@RealRuralJapan]

You can whatever you want here.

[@10p7]

@@RealRuralJapan That's nice to hear, thank you!
