Japanese mozzarella

Available for over a year

Nick Luscombe travels to the coastal wetlands of Eastern Hokkaido in the north of Japan to meet Takashi Shirai, a dairy farmer with a background in feature films, who moved to the area with his garden designer wife Haruki in 2009. We learn about Takashi’s early experiences of farming and also about his vision for a farming future in Japan that works in harmony with his livestock and the local area. We also discover the unique aspects of this part of the country which allow their farm to produce highly regarded mozzarella and ice cream. Produced and presented by Nick Luscombe
