The people in these videos usually work at the same job for 30 or 40 years. It can't be just the culture. I think they are actually passionate and love their work.

[rafaelperalta]

Japanese craftsmen always fascinate me. They're so dedicated to their crafts and the passion shines through in their products/works of art.

[alexns]

Watching a person who's been perfecting their craft over the years up until close to their retirement is such a joy, the passion they demonstrate for their craft is incomparable.

[HappilyMundane]

Only double the price of mass produced vinegar? That's actually exceedingly good value for the time and effort that comparatively goes into making this.

[RySL]

I couldn't believe my ears hearing about this guy who's family has been making pottery for 15 GENERATIONS, absolutely outstanding! You have to admire such a dedication to traditional business operations. There is such a passion from the children and grandchildren (and so on) of the businesses and the locals who continue to buy from such storied establishments.

[Clklom]

My grandmother used to make this type of vinegar in this type of pots at home. We had rice fields in our village and also brown rice. All the villagers used to come to buy at our place and it was the best vinegar ever.

[KaleighMacKay]

I have so much respect for anyone that pours so much dedication and passion In to perfecting their craft.

[cdubs]

So many of these videos are about Japanese craftsmen. Everything from Vinegar to Bonsai scissors to fruit and Swords....the Japanese are singularly minded and dedicated to craft and perfection. Its amazing.

[velocirapture]

I love how the traditional Japanese artisans have immense amounts of patience. It's thoroughly inspiring.

[lilcrazyart]

Respect for all these worker's 🙏🏾

[akhilrai]

Japanese are extraordinary people. Huge respect for them.

[CUMBICA]

Kurozu is probably the most consumed vinegar in Japan. We all know the "authentic" ones are from Kagoshima, but there are countless brands around (Mizkan being the most ubiquitous.) It's kinda staple in the modern Japanese diet rather like a healthy drink than a condiment (think apple cider vinegar.)
