Mystery Japanese Vending Machine!!

[KustomFu]

is buying rice from a farmer + paying to use this machine cheaper than buying rice at a grocery store?

[2naruto1]

cool

[theasdf164]

it's a rice cleaner

[watsupstartaketwo]

cool :D lol beats paying for machinery and shit :) very clever :)

[threesistersrock]

That is a machine that you put freshly harvested brown rice in it and will come out all peeled as white rice. It is like washing machine for rice (skin peeler) Usually these machines are set in towns have rice paddies.

[Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh]

Rice cakes!

[SuperKawaiiChannel]

I used to use similar machine but 3 times smaller, while working at Japanese Restaurant/Food Shop in London...

[DanceChieDance]

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thanks for making these videos!! Love from New Zealand!

[MrSyntheticDesign]

COOOOOL

[BrooklynBaller101]

"hey guys, more videos coming soon" lol

[gordiviris]

Loooove your videos and since I start watching them wanna go sooooo bad to Japan

[RickyJamesPivotVids]

So the WHITE RICE IS A LIE!

[utubesqueeze]

Rice cleaning vending machine, lol! Japan awesome as usual and thanks very much for such an innovative video <3

[DeepBlueSkyy]

how much do it cost?

[chrisscarber]

i thought it was an ice machine when i saw the hopper, there's a large ice machine near my house that has a similar hopper and it works by section whether you want a bag of ice or an ice chest and when you press which the ice falls down into one of two hoppers one small mouthed to put the ice in bags and another one with a large mouth for ice chests

[jimmieeeee]

hey guysss

[lilmidget155]

was that shot in the ibaraki prefecture?

[sacura605]

incinerator?

[mekugi]

Rice polisher....one right next door...

[crazyzee81]

maybe its cause Im american but I was leaning towards a popcorn maker machine. Like the yellow figure looked like a cob of corn or maybe sweet potatoe so I thought it was a air popper, lol. When I was in Japan I didnt visit much in the way of smaller country places. Except to visit an Onsen but I only went looking for the onsen.

[XxxCupcaaakexxX]

I So knew that that was a rice polishing machine, I didnt think it was a potato fryer or anything.... >____>

[Floridabum1]

orange can be shaped?

[TubaBuddha]

The Brown rice is much more healthy for you, but it does take longer to cook.

[iy6469]

これやったことあるわ。

[Koroodetto]

I had one in my town - Kawaguchi in Saitma-ken

[mitsubishi777]

@Koroodetto I see. Although I'm a Japanese, I didn't know such a kind of a vending machine existed in Japan.

[reshjuk]

How about a wife cleaning machine? Do they have those? Sorry, just playing with words a bit... I think it rhymes with rice. Thanks for the video.

[oykngiksws]

Rice mill machine of Iseki & Co., Ltd.！ *loooool*

[1103mix1103]

I usually buy rice in the supermarket, and I choose recent polished rice from some rice bags at the time.

by the way, I have polished rice in the same way when I was given lots of brown rice by relative.

[MsOhayoOhio]

very interesting :)

[blackcusedlady]

wow,thats so cool!

[1161858]

thats awsome

[iateyourham]

It has a "Clean Level?" Why wouldn't you always choose the cleanest level?

[KuroiNeko2bz]

@iateyourham i don't think its like reaaaaly how clean it it... i think it is always clean but, its like potatoes... if you cook it with its skin on its just a different kind of preparation xD the taste changes and the "feel" of the food is completely different, theres a thousand ways to prepare rice, especially in japan =D

[SpiritofInsanity]

That is so cool :D

[VEGANSEATMEAT69]

U SHOULD TALK ABOUT JAPANS WILD COMMERCIALS

[Monasterx3]

lol that vending machine is so random!

[TVfXQs2Cassiopeia]

omgsh from the picture descriptions i thought they were putting bugs into the machine and getting money back xP

[Shoostoppin]

wow who is dat one person that disliked this?

[MegaPrincess1998]

It rice possing. put the rice, then you check all the machine put the bag on the other end, then it pour the white rice on there.

[Nemesis093781]

Thank was very cool.

[FourAngelsX]

best channel on youtube

[tivaevae]

Do u buy your rice from farmers

[csnoopy]

imagine the guy saying "you can film me, my family or friends, but you can NOT film my rice!!" lol

[oscarscheepstra]

it would be really amazing if the machine could sell up to 30 kg of underwear (1:25)

[dalriada842]

I didn't realise that rice needed polishing! Now I'm going to be google-ing about rice production. LOL

[etekno]

the integral rice (dunno how you call it in english, but it's the rice that's not been processed) it's a lot healtier.

In particular while the rice cause the glicemy to rise quite a lot (surprisingly even more than the pasta) , the integral rice doesn't.

So if you don't care about the appearance try eating it brown :-)

[desertfeathers]

Will it clean golf balls?

[amyOfEgypt]

AMAZING =D

[Midnightryder7]

What kind of work do u do there in Japan?...English teacher(?)

[afronathan]

What an interesting machine!

[xhellokittyx465]

so it kills the nutrients

[rampage222555]

broken foot doesnt stop you from being an awesome sillyolddude!

[Machodudin]

自動販売機！！

[D0OMZDAYZ]

@TheJapanChannelDcom On the Main sign, I could read the katakana that said 'Coin'. Is this related to an actually Dollar or yen coin? and do you know what the kanji means?

[NguyenCharles]

@D0OMZDAYZ コイン精米(せいまい/polished rice) sounds like it means you can polish rice there at the cost of some coins

[TheDandelionMind]

@D0OMZDAYZ

精米　Seimai - word for polishing (or refine?) rice.

[archykins]

looks like a carrot or a yam XD

[Capt777harris]

This will never happen, but it is my dream to retire in Japan. A very civilized country that reminds me a lot of how parts of the US used to be.

[UnderGroundArsonizt]

freaking sweet!

[mslaerik66]

why isnt it wet when it comes out ??? what does it wash it with ???

[kodoku7otaku]

@mslaerik66

It doesn't use water you see, it just mixes the rice together, and this action causes the outside brown 'skin' (ie. the healthy stuff like in brown bread) to come off. It uses something like a sieve so that the 'skin' of the rice is dropped outside and the 'clean' rice comes out.

You can eat the brown rice though, in fact, some people eat it to be more healthy! Although it's quite rare.

[mslaerik66]

@kodoku7otaku thank you very much !!

[imsykofutubesbs]

hahaha way cool i thought it was something used to recycle plastic (chop&condense) but never thought of rice being the obvious. like grinding your own coffee

[bigfatfoot]

Put rice into the tank and have polished rice in return? That is weird.

[chrismecking]

wow, that's cool! Haven't never heard about such vending-polish-machines!!

Great the guy let you film everything and even showed the differences!!

[theLiLu3000]

Thats a good invention

[kabayangila]

hey guys

[Wes1378]

That was interesting.

[McGeady14]

This is a rice-polishing machine!

[hadashi05]

We've got them in our rural town too, in Kyushu. Just moved to Japan with my Japanese wife and 'half' child to live permanently a month ago.

[Daviysoh]

Have you ever featured vending machines selling books, nattou, bicycles, beetles, umbrellas, flowers? They really exist in Japan. BTW America has ipod vending machines.

[DominickBluesteel]

@FrikitsukiNoDeoxys in my experience, brown rice has a nuttier taste than white rice and doesn't seem to stick as well to itself like the polished white.

[adobo777]

@FrikitsukiNoDeoxys taste like rice, just wierd to eat because of the harder shell and makes you crap like mad (very very very x10000000000000000 high in fibers).

[JinSage]

@FrikitsukiNoDeoxys Heavier liek difference between 2% milk and whole milk

[guguigugu]

i recognized the kanji for rice! so i knew it was something to do with rice right away! i'm so proud of myself!

[AisuErufu]

My fiance's family stopped by one of those once when I was visiting. Their family comes from a long line of rice farmers and their relatives still grow it, so they get a bag every now and then that they have to deshell. At first I thought it was just a drop off station where someone else would come to deshell their rice for them, but the machine actually did it for you right there! Pretty cool. :)

[Pandex]

For a second I thought it was a machine for grinding coffee!

[nathanms1]

The first time he said rice I thought the machine would cook your rice and you could eat it right away

[cloudstrifeification]

That is absolutely cool and rice cleaning machine. Even though I eat cooked brown rice still in it's husk. It takes longer to cook though.

[GZGoten]

its like one of those coffee machines we have here in the states

except they're not for coffee :P same idea though

[GZGoten]

@GZGoten kay just saw the video didn't know u gave the answer already

[nickybones78]

That is pretty cool.

[Floarti]

at first i though its a condom machine

[hungoversundays]

Cleans your rice...

[gyqz]

At first glance I thought it was some kind of popcorn vending machine......how stupid am I??

[andrephx90]

@gyqz Don´t feel bad...I thought it had something to do with laundry... Then he talked about the rice...yeah. But when I saw it would from one side to another and I was thinking if it was laundry it would do the same I though....close enough! xD

[mar96silva]

in your opinion , does vending machines substitute family groceries stores?

[jazzclarinet2006]

Neat!

[82tvaddict]

just came out of my cave, since finals are over, and now i have like 15 new japan channel videos to watch

yesssssss lol

[Marh044]

i started thumbing up videos before watching it as another user was doing the same thing, and have to say so far I havn't been let down on a single video :) thumbs up for a do it yourself attitude in japan :)

[TheOctopod]

The farm I work on has a tractor made be ISEKI, it kicks arse.

[przrbl182]

that country amazes me.

[dr3pts]

Pretty interesting. I wonder what the difference is in taste from the different options.

[Misame5]

@FrikitsukiNoDeoxys it has a nutty slightly sweet taste. It is VERY chewy so you wont need to eat as much as you would white rice, but takes longer to cook.

[rollofnickles]

cool

[darkwolflord]

I heard it was a joke

[darkwolflord]

Wait your in Japan and you can't read it?

[MrBubonicChronic]

damn, it was rice.  my first guess was PCP.

[ilovemypetrockbrian]

I literally watch these videos for the:

Moreee videosss sooonnnn!

[genuinebbuck]

Awesomeness.

[TheGreatLynne]

This is really interesting. At first I thought it was some sort of bank or something.

[przrbl182]

@TheGreatLynne same here. i was like "but ATM's are everywhere...."

[TheJelloEmperor]

This is probably one of the coolest things ever... also when I tried to hit the like button it said that "This feature was not available right now." CONSPIRACY!!!

I feel obligated to go eat some rice now, ciao.

[PleePotX]

i must admit im a little jealous over how clean it is, trains not smelling like piss and civilized people must be so nice.

well anyway lets be the change we want to see ourselves, LET'S!

[JuuhachigouSama]

I thought it was popcorn at first, lol. oops.

[FHomeBrew]

Do it again with the processed rice :p and again and again :p Question is, will it start to glow?

[AndreyPurtov]

unbelieveable service...

[realessence]

Wow, this is cool.

[bestihe]

Japan is too cool man! and you are awesome for making all these videos, they are all informative and awesome! keep doing what you are doing! ^_^

[eskercurve]

Very cool! Are there any adverse health effects from eating unwashed / unpolished rice? 

[Crimsonterminator100]

Is your name Greg?

[ryancouture]

the best was still the panty vending machine in the middle of nowhere

[Volcanlx]

very nice machine... cool

[megamarsvin]

Awesome, cool of the guy to let you film his rice :D

[migbird1973]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

Did you wait there until someone coming to use that machine?

Or you went there with that guy in the video?

[MegaDavetastic]

Japan... It never ceases to amaze.... O.O

[MurdocLC]

I can never stop being amazed by Japan...

[StarDr0ps]

I saw the kanji for rice somewhere on that machine so I knew it had to do something with that. Didn't know exactly what for though! Anyway, thanks for showing this interesting vending machine! :)

[TotoTorisha]

Ha! I figured it was some kind of 'husker' of some sort or something. yay- somewhat intelligent! I still dont get what that orange guy had to do with it, is he an unhusked rice kernal or something?

[Gary20O]

Thats cool.

[CanupawakpaDakota]

yet another cool idea that will be shunned in north america for no reason, whatsoever...

[jadarainbow]

wow that is really neat :O

[NendGuy]

Is this the manly he man video that was coming soon?

[Jade7272]

this is SO COOL!

[DudeJericho]

Thats brilliant, watching this just makes me think 「さすが」

[LogiForce86]

That's cool. Nowadays here in the EU the farmers aren't allowed to sell unprocessed food anymore. Simply because there could be a possibility that somewhere along the lines we might incidentally get sick.

So getting untreated milk from the farmer is a big no for example. A bit sad. :(

The more I watch your videos, the more I realize Japan is more the country for me then being stuck over here.

[jcha]

Thats to cool!

[katyasha29]

It looks like a garbage disposal to me.

[mellowsky47]

I don't know??

[rcktmn3412]

At first i was gonna say coin changer, but looks like a rice machine now lol.

[RevyNai]

I want one of these in my house. I love rice so much ._.

[warriorwannab]

Thanks for sharing! This is really interesting!

[OneEaredFreek]

that's just awesome!!! at first i thought it was a trash compacter or something lol

[Relatharr]

Now that's an intriguing premise. If there were machines like that in the West for wheat to flour, people in cities would actually have a vague idea that grocery items actually come from the fields and not from spawning in on store shelves.

[SytheSlice]

At first I thought it was a food heater or food maker lol

[SytheSlice]

Dang that was pritty cool.

[FreaknJoshwa]

annoying orange killer? or dispenser?

[elyusai1]

brown rice is still better than white rice.

[DreaMeRHoLic]

@elyusai1

have fun by eating 15kg of rice before the fat core gets rancid. you can keep it longer by losing some vitamins and minatals. thats the reason why rice gets peeled.

its not the question if its better. its the question of "how to preserve it" over the year. but i think you allready know this (i would wonder if you dont because you're asian)

[elyusai1]

@DreaMeRHoLic well i guess most japanese people will prefer brown rice because it's healthier. they eat a whole lot of rice yearly so why consider the length of preservation of rice?

[GlockNinja]

COOL!!!!!

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

I like how the places were the people push in the rice with their hands and were the rice slides down the paint is polished off. Very interesting how such gentle friction over time can do so much!

[Yndostrui]

I was only able to read the "koin" and believed it was a coin exchange machine.

Interesting how wrong one can be :D

[Arelak]

How much does a bag of raw rice cost? Where I live in the USA they want $20-30 USD for less than 10 lbs.

[angelwings1086]

The picture looks like he's throwing little bugs into the machine. =P Lol.

[SweetCash33]

I don't read Japanese, so the pictures told me it was a vending machine for Soylent Green, I had no clue it was a rice polisher,,, learned something new today.

[bloodspiller30]

cool

[wizimaster]

I thought it was for coin-exchange because the katakana outside said "koin" (+ 2 kanji I don't recognize)

[rdelavega]

Was wondering if there was a machine to polish my cocunuts too.

[Relatharr]

@rdelavega You have a lovelly bunch of coconuts?

[DoomExtreme1]

I actually like this :).

[Gell1welt69]

How cool is that!

[ViviFly9]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!how cool is that now!

[lemonrind]

This is a vending machine that sells vending machines.

[EmoSupernova]

That's great! Very natural, that way you're sure the rice is pure and clean.

[K4kaShiii]

that is pretty neat i must say

[EsteeDarla]

wow thats amazing I need to get into these type of machines .. great ideal

[liamliam6]

Dramatic 4 second delay on the "Hey guyyyyys"

I thought my sound was muted.

[metallicaband]

@liamliam6

lol me too, I was checking if my speakers are on :P.

[SweetCash33]

@liamliam6 LoL Yea he got me to, I fiddled with my volume button as well.

[xTenshiAi]

@liamliam6 LOL SAME, I was just waiting to hear that. xDD

[MegamanEXEv2]

I'll be honest, I initially interpreted the pictures as something to have to do with grinding up insects....like....maybe it was some sort of bait-making machine or something.

[NikkeinJapan]

I have one of those in my town. I always thought it was a rice dispenser (b/c I never used it). But now I know it's a rice "polisher". Good to know!

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

Sometimes you introduce things and machines and stuff, which is interesting, but what would also be interesting is names. What's that thing called in Japanese?

[Gtanick]

@DontTouchMyVicodin It's called a seimaijo (精米所)

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

@Gtanick

Thankies.

[Gtanick]

@DontTouchMyVicodin You're Welcome

[VidzOnComputer]

I thought it was a OWRU (Organic Waste Recycling Unit), put in the rubbish and out comes mulch for gardening, the toon looked like some sort of orange peel or maybe a vegetable that went bad.

[edo946]

Rice in Japan is very delicious. The famous one is Niigata and Miyagi. Because rice from Hokkaido and from Chiba is also very delicious, we will recommend it. 

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

i think its a pop corn machine ^^

[AaronDArnold]

I thought it was Japan's version of the death penalty.It looks very efficient-and deceptively friendly...
