the inari shrine this particular one is

0:02:15.599,0:02:16.000

boga inari which is believed to protect

0:02:18.319,0:02:19.760
its visitors from fires

0:02:19.760,0:02:21.440
quite important for someone who runs his

own factory

0:02:22.750,0:02:25.520
[Music]

and even mom and pop stores many in the

0:03:10.560,0:03:12.480
industry believe that panko alone will

0:03:12.480,0:03:15.840
make the restaurant popular

0:03:16.840,0:03:19.840
hello

0:03:20.070,0:03:23.669
[Music]

0:03:24.480,0:03:26.239
right after he arrives he starts to

0:03:26.239,0:03:28.000
organize today's orders since clients

0:03:28.000,0:03:29.760
place their orders overnight in many

0:03:29.760,0:03:31.440
different ways online phone call

0:03:31.440,0:03:32.000
messages

0:03:32.000,0:03:34.640
emails line messenger sms and even fax

0:03:34.640,0:03:36.560
it's amazing how flexible he is with his

0:03:36.560,0:03:38.319
customers and shows how committed he is

0:03:38.319,0:03:40.239
to customer service did you originally

0:03:40.239,0:03:47.840
want to inherit the business

0:03:50.080,0:03:51.840
he would even sit in the truck with his

0:03:51.840,0:03:54.080
dad during deliveries the panko factory

0:03:54.080,0:03:55.680
was such a large part of his life when

0:03:55.680,0:03:57.680
he was a kid he drew a layout of it

0:03:57.680,0:04:01.200
which still hangs in the office today

0:04:01.200,0:04:03.599
and that's his brother he's the kojocho

0:04:03.599,0:04:06.560
aka factory manager

0:04:06.560,0:04:08.480
after he finalizes today's orders he

0:04:08.480,0:04:10.560
assigns delivery drivers drivers locate

0:04:10.560,0:04:11.680
the products on the shelves and

0:04:11.680,0:04:13.200
refrigerators and load their trucks

0:04:13.200,0:04:15.840
accordingly

0:04:15.930,0:04:19.120
[Music]

0:04:19.120,0:04:21.199
this machine prints out the tempio in

0:04:21.199,0:04:23.360
english an itemized sales slip which is

0:04:23.360,0:04:25.280
given to customers at a time of delivery

0:04:25.280,0:04:26.080
in japan

0:04:26.080,0:04:28.080
many businesses are still paper-based so

0:04:28.080,0:04:29.919
this form of receipt is absolutely

0:04:29.919,0:04:30.639
necessary

0:04:30.639,0:04:33.120
now show prepares cash for delivery even

0:04:33.120,0:04:33.840
these days

0:04:33.840,0:04:35.600
many of his clients still prefer to pay

0:04:35.600,0:04:37.680
in cash so all of his delivery drivers

0:04:37.680,0:04:41.120
must carry enough to make change

0:04:41.280,0:04:43.600
wow that looks so old are you still

0:04:43.600,0:04:46.160
using this

0:04:48.880,0:04:51.040
a japanese family crest passed down from

0:04:51.040,0:04:52.080
his ancestors

0:04:52.080,0:04:53.840
now the morning workers are lining up to

0:04:53.840,0:04:55.280
stamp their time cards a

0:04:55.280,0:04:57.040
very common practice in traditional

0:04:57.040,0:05:00.000
japanese companies

0:05:00.800,0:05:02.639
while they're doing that show works on

0:05:02.639,0:05:04.720
organizing stock in the factory as an

0:05:04.720,0:05:05.120
owner

0:05:05.120,0:05:06.960
it's important for him to be involved in

0:05:06.960,0:05:08.800
all aspects of the business large or

0:05:08.800,0:05:09.520
small he

0:05:09.520,0:05:11.759
even makes time to clean toilets despite

0:05:11.759,0:05:13.919
daily cleanings by staff some japanese

0:05:13.919,0:05:15.680
believe that the active cleansing toilet

0:05:15.680,0:05:17.360
also cleanses one's malevolence so

0:05:17.360,0:05:19.039
you'll find many successful business

0:05:19.039,0:05:21.360
owners participating in this activity

0:05:21.360,0:05:23.199
what did you do before becoming a punko

0:05:23.199,0:05:25.840
factory owner

0:05:33.039,0:05:35.039
now show goes back to his office

0:05:35.039,0:05:36.720
replying to emails and texts

0:05:36.720,0:05:38.880
as well as other administrative work so

0:05:38.880,0:05:40.960
it looks like show has a little bit more

0:05:40.960,0:05:42.960
office work to do so while he's doing

0:05:42.960,0:05:43.360
that

0:05:43.360,0:05:45.039
let's take advantage of this time and

0:05:45.039,0:05:46.400
explore this place

0:05:46.400,0:05:48.400
so let's go up to the second floor and

0:05:48.400,0:05:49.520
let me show you where

0:05:49.520,0:05:51.919
all the magic happens but in order to do

0:05:51.919,0:05:53.759
that i'm gonna need a change so let's do

0:05:53.759,0:05:55.520
that right now

0:05:55.520,0:05:59.840
all right good to go let's go do this

0:06:01.600,0:06:03.440
now that i'm all set it up let me show

0:06:03.440,0:06:06.240
you how the bread making process begins

0:06:06.240,0:06:08.560
150 years ago from the meiji period

0:06:08.560,0:06:10.400
japanese used sliced bread to make panko

0:06:10.400,0:06:12.720
a japanese word pan meaning bread and co

0:06:12.720,0:06:13.680
meaning powder

0:06:13.680,0:06:15.520
many panko producers use commercially

0:06:15.520,0:06:17.280
made bread but nakaya punk will craft

0:06:17.280,0:06:18.880
their own bread at their factory

0:06:18.880,0:06:20.639
creating 50 different types of honko

0:06:20.639,0:06:22.000
every year with their own unique

0:06:22.000,0:06:23.440
textures and flavors

0:06:23.440,0:06:25.120
first step is to make the dough the

0:06:25.120,0:06:27.360
workers mix water yeast and flour

0:06:27.360,0:06:29.280
then add salt and sugar and then knead

0:06:29.280,0:06:31.360
the mixture after that they add oil and

0:06:31.360,0:06:32.080
knead it again

0:06:32.080,0:06:33.919
interestingly depending on the weather

0:06:33.919,0:06:36.080
that day the workers adjust how long the

0:06:36.080,0:06:38.000
dough is fermented as well as the amount

0:06:38.000,0:06:39.840
of yeast added in order to produce an

0:06:39.840,0:06:40.880
identical product

0:06:40.880,0:06:42.960
also since flower producers update their

0:06:42.960,0:06:45.039
harvest each year the factory needs to

0:06:45.039,0:06:47.039
readjust their ingredients and process

0:06:47.039,0:06:49.199
each time it's very much an art of its

0:06:49.199,0:06:50.639
own to craft a consistent

0:06:50.639,0:06:52.639
and high quality panko each and every

0:06:52.639,0:06:54.880
day this machine receives a kneaded

0:06:54.880,0:06:56.560
dough and separates it into smaller

0:06:56.560,0:06:58.240
clumps

0:06:58.240,0:07:00.080
and then the dough rests here for about

0:07:00.080,0:07:02.720
15 to 20 minutes

0:07:02.720,0:07:04.639
after it cycles through it then drops

0:07:04.639,0:07:07.599
down this shoe to be flattened

0:07:07.599,0:07:09.599
finally the dough is rolled and placed

0:07:09.599,0:07:12.300
in the metal pans by hand

0:07:12.300,0:07:15.360
[Music]

0:07:15.360,0:07:17.120
now the dough needs to sit in a

0:07:17.120,0:07:19.360
fermentation room which is set to 90

0:07:19.360,0:07:21.520
humidity i guess my camera's not going

0:07:21.520,0:07:23.039
in there after this

0:07:23.039,0:07:25.199
the baking process begins how long does

0:07:25.199,0:07:28.000
it take to bake this bread

0:07:28.000,0:07:30.560
the factory produces 1800 loads of bread

0:07:30.560,0:07:33.120
per day

0:07:34.240,0:07:36.560
and the lows vary in texture and shape

0:07:36.560,0:07:38.400
depending on the end product for this

0:07:38.400,0:07:40.160
particular cycle before the bread gets

0:07:40.160,0:07:42.240
shredded into small pieces of panko the

0:07:42.240,0:07:44.080
workers must remove the crust by using

0:07:44.080,0:07:47.280
an automatic slicer

0:07:47.630,0:07:49.520
[Music]

0:07:49.520,0:07:51.120
the bread itself doesn't come out of the

0:07:51.120,0:07:53.199
oven in perfect form so usually

0:07:53.199,0:07:55.120
there will be crusted sections like this

0:07:55.120,0:07:58.410
so workers remove these spots by hand

0:07:58.410,0:08:00.400
[Music]

0:08:00.400,0:08:02.000
now that all the crust has been removed

0:08:02.000,0:08:03.360
the bread is processed through the

0:08:03.360,0:08:06.479
specialized machine

0:08:07.039,0:08:09.120
it shreds the bread into small pieces

0:08:09.120,0:08:10.479
which are passed through these metal

0:08:10.479,0:08:10.960
nets

0:08:10.960,0:08:13.360
the holes in the nets vary in size which

0:08:13.360,0:08:15.039
ultimately determine the size of the

0:08:15.039,0:08:16.550
punko

0:08:16.550,0:08:19.689
[Music]

0:08:20.479,0:08:23.120
apparently they use about 1.3 tons of

0:08:23.120,0:08:26.039
flour to make 800 kilograms or about

0:08:26.039,0:08:28.000
1760 pounds of panko

0:08:28.000,0:08:29.430
each day

0:08:29.430,0:08:32.689
[Music]

0:08:35.120,0:08:37.120
so they not only sell panko here but

0:08:37.120,0:08:38.800
they also provide an assortment of

0:08:38.800,0:08:40.399
ingredients so that when their customers

0:08:40.399,0:08:40.719
come

0:08:40.719,0:08:43.120
they can buy punko as well as cooking

0:08:43.120,0:08:45.120
ingredients kind of like a one-stop shop

0:08:45.120,0:08:46.160
pretty convenient

0:08:46.160,0:08:47.760
just over there it looks like they have

0:08:47.760,0:08:50.880
some deliveries let's go check it out

0:08:50.880,0:08:52.640
the factory ensures that the crust

0:08:52.640,0:08:54.720
doesn't go to waste and donates it to be

0:08:54.720,0:08:57.140
useless food to raise pigs and chicken

0:08:57.140,0:09:04.440
[Music]

0:09:06.880,0:09:10.560
oh a typical japanese meeting held every

0:09:10.560,0:09:12.160
morning before work starts in this

0:09:12.160,0:09:13.839
meeting the factory staff review tasks

0:09:13.839,0:09:15.519
for the day as well as any issues that

0:09:15.519,0:09:18.320
need to be addressed

0:09:18.800,0:09:20.480
[Music]

0:09:20.480,0:09:22.560
now show goes around the factory floor

0:09:22.560,0:09:24.320
to perform a quality inspection

0:09:24.320,0:09:26.320
it's important for him to talk directly

0:09:26.320,0:09:28.000
with the workers to get feedback on the

0:09:28.000,0:09:29.680
condition of the breath

he usually can't make it home on time to

0:14:20.639,0:14:22.320
have dinner with his family so he has

0:14:22.320,0:14:24.800
dinner alone but that karage his wife

0:14:24.800,0:14:25.199
