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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As a professional chef with over 35 years experience (and a gold medal in competition), trained in classical French cuisine and all that jazz, I can tell you that he's in the zone and totally concentrating, yet without effort. That's why he seems to roll and stretch the dough with rhythm, because he is, the rhythm is conditioned into his muscles. I love to hear the dough as he touches it, you can hear exactly how dry it is, you can hear the texture. Watch how he treats his knife after he uses it, how it carefully rests it aside. How he carefully cleans his board. Also, it looks like he's rolling the dough on soapstone, not wood. Interesting. I recently ordered some Ni-ha hi Sobakoh flour that I had ground fresh for me so I could make some fresh soba. It's not cheap, but I look forward to learning this new approach to noodles. It's a shame that we did not get to see him mix the dough, as his dough looked very smooth and rested. I've always thought that the better soba was darker brown with a richer flavor. Well, we'll see. Anyway, keep learning, keep cooking and keep striving for perfection. The perfect crust, the clearest consommé, a perfectly seared scallop, the smoothest sauce. We're never too old to stop learning.

If this was a white guy, no one would give two shits about him making noodles. Just because he's an old Japanese dude, people automatically think it's an art. I get it, Japanese people are perfectionists. But no matter how perfect it is, it's still just noodles. I'd be willing to bet money that neither you nor I could tell the difference between this guys noodles and the other Japanese noodle guy down the street. In the end, it's still flour and water. It all basically tastes the same.
