Sado Island is a short boat ride from mainland Japan.
2
It has a population of only about 50,000,
3
despite being one of the nation's largest islands.
4
A gold mine on Sado boosted Japan's wealth in the 17th century.
5
There are cultural riches too,
6
such as cute tube-like boats, and ancient performing arts.
7
One family is preserving Sato's culinary traditions.
8
And everything they do starts with delicious rice.
9
Let's follow their story by looking through the kitchen window.
10
A vast flatland sits between Sado's rugged terrain.
11
Farmers here have been harnessing the nutrient-rich mountain water for thousands of years.
12
Even today, they produce some of the best rice to be found anywhere in Japan.
13
Sado's rural areas aren't just good for farming farming.
14
They also provide an ideal habitat for the Japanese crested ibis.
15
Conservationists in the country have brought it back from extinction.
16
They sleep in the woods and feed on creatures in the paddies.
17
People in the community have worked hard to maintain this healthy ecosystem.
18
The sound of the birds are the same.
19
The sound of the birds are the same.
20
Yes, it was the same.
21
The birds are the same.
22
I've been here for 10 years since I've been a bird.
23
It's nice and nice and nice.
24
I've been working on the birds with a bird.
25
I can also have a lot of fun to do with the food.
26
Aida Tadaki is the latest in a long line of rice farmers to manage these patties.
27
Friends and family chip in too.
28
Growing season starts in spring.
29
It all begins with the seeds.
30
Just one can produce 300 to 500 grains of rice.
31
They're first mixed with soil to create seabeds.
32
And a week later, they're sprouting.
33
Tadaaki takes the seedlings to his paddies.
34
Tadaaki takes the seedlings to his patties.
35
Some of the work needs modern machinery.
36
Tadaki currently manages the paddies with just three other people,
37
so efficiency is key.
38
Growing rice is hard work,
39
but even more so back in the day.
40
Tadaki's wife, Naomi, is preparing lunch at home.
41
The family grow a popular variety of rice called koshihikari.
42
And their efforts have won high praise.
43
Our rice is sometimes dubbed Super Koshihikari.
44
Today's lunch is onigiri rice balls.
45
The other ingredients include homemade miso paste and umeboshi pickled plums.
46
The rice needs to be squeezed firmly so it doesn't fall apart,
47
but not too hard or the texture will be spoiled.
48
Onigiri are like an extension of the person who made them.
49
Naomi coats these with a generous layer of miso paste.
50
No filling inside.
51
Miso and umeboshi are tasty and functional.
52
Because they act like preservatives,
53
stopping the rice from going bad.
54
That's not so important if eaten right away,
55
but oniguri were invented as a meal for farmers out in the field.
56
Naomi arrives at the paddies.
57
She's also brought fried eggs and other side dishes.
58
But naturally, her onigiri are the highlight.
59
Simple, tasty, and to be enjoyed wherever you may be.
60
Onigiri, a fast food like no other.
61
Tadaaki has recharged, and he finishes planting the seedlings in no time.
62
Tadaaki was born and raised on Sado Island,
63
but he moved elsewhere and worked as a civil engineer.
64
He later returned with his family and found a job at the city hall.
65
I was a little sick and I decided to live in 2010 to make a job.
66
Tadaaki's father Yasuaki is the pioneer of an organic farming method using local oyster shells
67
Tadaaki had only been at the helm a short while before Yasuaki became ill too
68
Suddenly he had to take on all the work himself
69
Things
70
started
71
looking up when Tada Aki drew on his experience as an engineer.
72
Tadaaki came up with all sorts of ideas to improve the quality of his rice.
73
He uses mineral-rich sea water to raise the seedlings.
74
And he's embraced technology.
75
Satellite imagery shows the paddy from above.
76
The red areas are not well fertilized,
77
and the green areas have too much.
78
The rice planting machine uses the data to optimize distribution.
79
Tadaaki wasn't just aiming for large-scale production.
80
He also wanted to grow rice with care,
81
like the farmers of old in their small patties.
82
The hard work has paid off.
83
He consistently produces high quality rice,
84
and he's now one of Sado Island's key rice producers.
85
Still, Japan's rice industry is facing a significant hurdle.
86
People don't eat as much of it as they used to.
87
Tada Aki has found a new way to promote his produce.
88
He makes rice dumplings called dango.
89
for a delicious treat dating back more than 1,200 years.
90
And making them is all so simple.
91
Mix rice flour with water,
92
roll into balls, and steam.
93
Tadaaki and his family even opened a store in 2024.
94
Sounds weird.
95
Customers can also have their they're to be eaten quickly while they're still hot.
96
This is to See Little Mu butter.
97
That's rare, and seen the Could.
98
And at the heart of it all, Rice.
99
Here's Tadaaki's mother, Katsumi This is a red-nigth.
100
If you grow this, you'll have a red-nigth.
101
The family mostly eat vegetables.
102
She grows organically.
103
It's always been that way for Tadaaki.
104
This is a pachy.
105
Today, they'll dine in the open air.
106
A feast of colorful dishes made with homegrown vegetables.
107
And of course, rice.
108
It's been made in a traditional cooker called mushi kamado.
109
They are designed to be airtight,
110
which traps the umami flavor and produces a wonderful chewy texture.
111
Let's eat.
112
It's delicious.
113
It's not only good to say it.
114
I'm happy.
115
Tadaki's grains have earned his father's seal of approval.
116
But I am very happy to say, so smooth.
117
I experienced the nuovo dog community today,
118
and there is much like the dancing industry.
119
Keeping somebody standing us while walking and joining them and fighting I expect it's It's about belonged.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
