今回密着すんのは「讃岐うどん いわい 」 地元の人に愛されてて 東京の十条駅にあるぞ

Talk to the bison.

十条銀座商店街を駅から5分歩いたところにある

Here we go.

彼がいわいさん

I'm taking you behind the counter at another family owned japanese restaurant to bring you the real life story of how handcrafted Udonis made.

群馬出身の40歳

This time.

今は東京に住んでて このうどん屋の店主だぞ

We're at Snooki Udine Y a local favorite at judo station in Tokyo.

朝はいつも1人？

It's just a five minute walk from the station to the Judeo Ginza shooting guy.

ラジオつけるみてぇだぞ

Good morning.

モーニングルーティーンのひとつだな

This is the Y San 40 years old.

最初にとりかかる準備は スープ用の出汁をとることだ

Born and raised in Guma.

うどんは日本で昔からある麺類の1つで めちゃシンプルな食いもんだ

Now living in Tokyo and the owner of this.

出汁と麺だけだかんな！

You don't shop.

トッピングをつけることもできるけど うどんと出汁だけで食う日本人も多い

Are you always alone in the morning?

だから出汁はめっちゃ重要なんだ 完璧な一杯のうどんを作るためにはな

Oh he's turning on the radio.

レジ用に釣り銭の用意をしているぞ

I guess that's part of his morning routine.

開店してからどれくれぇ経つんだ？

First thing he preps in the morning is a Dashi for the soup.

なんでうどん屋を始めたの？

Udon noodles are one of japan's most additional foods as well as one of its most simple, just soup and Udon noodles.

これは天ぷら用の油

Well you can add toppings but many japanese still enjoy just with those two ingredients.

大豆白絞油ってのを使ってるぞ

So it's critical to craft a perfect dashi in order to top a perfect bowl if you don't.

明るい色の大豆由来の油だ

Now he prepares the change for the register.

子供用の自転車があったぞ

So how long has the store been open for?

忙しそ〜だな

Why did you decide to start a new don't shop?

同じビルに住んでんだ！

And that's the oil for the tempura.

すまねぇ！なんて良い人なんだ！

The shop uses jesus Shiraishi.

出汁の仕込みと同時進行で、うどんの準備をすっぞ

May use a light colored soybean oil.

この生地は前日に仕込んだやつだ

Mm hmm.

一晩寝かさねぇといけねぇかんな

Hey, I noticed you've got some kids bikes.

そんで うどんを打つ前にまたこねる

You must be busy.

この店では伝統的な 足でうどんを踏む方法でこねるんだ

Oh, he really lived in the same building.

伸びが良くてもちもち感が生まれる

I'm gonna be cute.

日本語で「コシ」っつーんだぞ

Thank you.

最近は機械でこねる店も増えてきたんだけど

So nice.

いわいさんは 香川の師匠から教わった製法を受け継いでんだ

Okay, as a dusty continuously cooks, he starts the noodle prep.

たしかに 、ピザみてぇだ！

Apparently this dough has made the day before as it needs to mature overnight and then it must be needed before it's cut into noodle form.

次は、明日のうどん生地の仕込みだ

His shop uses a traditional japanese method of kneading with your feet, which creates their own signature elastic and chewy texture called cushy.

小麦粉は決まってて

Many who don't tops these days have moved using machines for the kneading but Watson prefers to carry on.

香川県から送ってもらってる、ASWってやつを使ってる

The method he learned from his master in Kagawa No cap.

小麦粉は1日どんくれぇ使うんだ？

They do look like pizza.

出汁を移す時間だぜ

Yeah.

うどん作ってる途中だけど 厨房の方に移動すっぞ

Now he prepares a new batch of dough for tomorrow.

客が来る前にいろいろ準備しなきゃいけねぇから

The shop uses specific flower for its Udon noodles, A.

間に合わせるために 効率よくやらねぇとな

S.

でも提供する料理の質を保つのに 過程をすっ飛ばすわけにはいかねぇ

W.

例えば出汁を何回も作るとかな

Which is shipped from Kagawa Prefecture.

大鍋がいっぱいになるまでだ

And how much flour do you use a day?

何でこうやって出汁を作るんだ？

What's up?

よっしゃ！次は塩水を小麦粉に混ぜるぞ

Oh it's time to pour out the dashi.

うどんの材料はめちゃシンプルなんだ

So he quickly moved to the stove area while in the middle of making the Udon noodles.

小麦粉、 水、 塩！

Multiple items must be prepared in the mornings before the customers arrive?

だからこそどんな小麦粉を選ぶかとか

So he must work efficiently in order to get everything done on time while also being firm to not sacrifice the quality of his food in the process.

混ぜる比率が大切なんだ

For example, he must repeat the same process numerous times until the large pot is full.

趣味はある？

Why do you make it dashi this way?

面白いことに その日の気温とか湿度、天気

Now?

その他もろもろ全部が影響して

He mixes the salted water into the flour.

うどんの質感が決まるんだ

In fact, Udon noodles are made up of a few simple ingredients, flour, water and salt, which is why it's even more critical to the shop.

いつも1人でやんのか？

Selects an appropriate flower and mixture ratio.

あー弟子たちは全部できんのか！

Do you have a hobby interestingly, depending on today's temperature, humidity, weather as well as other factors.

お〜近所さんだ いつも米を買ってるとこなんだって

It all affects the final taste and texture of the Udon noodles.

10年も同じ場所で商売してるっと 近所の人とも関わりが深くなるんだな

Do you always do this on your own?

2号店の店長だ

Oh, they can do it already.

ドイツ語話せるのか？

Um Oh that's a family from the neighborhood who he buys rice from.

何年働いてんだ？

I guess running a business in the local area for 10 years has allowed him to develop many strong relationships with people I don't know well.

全部マスターしたってこと？

Mhm.

店のオープン前に 大事な食材を取りに来るんだって

Oh that's a shop manager for his second shop.

こぼしたことある？

Can you speak german?

何入ってんだ？

How long have you been working here?

頑張ってなー

So you've mastered everything before she opens up her store.

スタッフが来たぞ

She stops here to pick up some important ingredients.

うどんの準備に戻るぞ

Have you spilled anything before?

新しくこねだうどんを切り分けて

What's in it anyways?

重さを量って、明日用に寝かすぞ

Good luck.

生地は、一塊りが2キロで約4.4ポンドだ

Thank you, mm hmm.

これがうどん10杯分になるぞ

Oh, here's the first worker at the shop.

ついに、今朝足で踏んだ生地で麺を作るぞ

While she gets ready for her shift, Watson continues to work on the dough.

いわいさんは香川県の 宮武うどんで修行したんだ

Now he cuts a newly made dough, weighs it and then stores it away for tomorrow.

半年くらい修行した後 東京に戻ってきて店を開いた

One block of dough weighs about two kg, about 4.4 lbs, which makes about 10 bowls.

香川県は日本では「うどん県」として有名なんだ

Finally, he handed the dough that he needed with his feet earlier this morning, the Wise and learned his own crafting skills under the master at Mia Taki Udon in Kagawa Prefecture.

うどんの製造と消費が全国1位だからな

He studied for about half a year and then returned to Tokyo to open up his own shop.

なんとうどん屋は600店舗以上あって コンビニの数より余裕で多いんだぞ

Kagawa Prefecture is known as the Han Prefecture in Japan as it's ranked first nationwide for Adan noodle production and consumption with over 600 Udon noodle shop, which easily outnumbered their total number of convenience stores and the Watson craft their famous style Sanu ki udon noodles at his local Tokyo shop.

そして、いわいさんの店で出してるのは 香川でも人気の「讃岐うどん」だ

Okay, once the dough is completely flattened, he folded into layers so it can be cut into noodle form.

生地を延ばしたら層状に折っていって

Let me just pause for a moment here so we can enjoy the beauty of his skilled knife work.

麺の形に切ってくぞ

After many years of honing his skills and mastering the art of Odin crafting the Watson was able to along the way, teach several apprentices and develop a strong customer base and love with his noodles.

オラは一旦静かにすっから、 いわいさんの華麗な包丁捌きを楽しんでくれ

But of course this didn't happen overnight.

何年もかけて腕を磨いて 手打ちうどんを極めたいわいさん

He started his career when he was only 24 years old, working part time at one of the most popular food in chains in Japan Kanemaru, you don't.

今まで、何人もの見習い達に教えたり

This is where he discovered his passion for rodents, which eventually motivated him to seek out his Yudin master in Kagawa prefecture at Mia Taki you don.

彼のうどんがでぇ好きな常連客がいっぺーいるんだ

He says that when he was first learning to craft Udon in Kagawa every day was an eye opening experience, but at the same time it was a true test of his will and fortitude.

While the staff prepares for the opening, he needs to run to the supermarket to pick up some additional ingredients.

最初のドメインかウェブサイトが10％オフになるぞ

He prefers to go grocery shopping every day in order to serve the freshest ingredients to his customers.

もう1人のスタッフが来たぞ

He says though that the price of things like vegetables, flour, meat oil in Japan have been rising since the end of last year, which forced him to make the hard decision to raise the price of his don't buy 50 in about 39 cents in order to keep his business going.

見習いの1人で 自分のうどん店を持つために頑張ってんだ

He also said that he deeply cares about his customers and the eating experience which includes providing his don't at an affordable price of the decision, wait on him quite a bit.
