[Andreas' shouting] [music] My name is Bel Coelho. I am an asbestos chef in São Paulo. Paul Paul Paul And I will invite you to an Aryan trip through my home country of Brazil. [music] LITTLE JAPAN IN SAO PAULO If you'd dug a tunnel, you'd have a tunnel. Lol! I thank God that we don't need a tunnel. Because the Japanese are already here, and they've found a new home in Brazil. It all started in my favorite part of the city: Liberdade. I'm often in this part of the city to steal food or kitchenware. Liberdade's weekly market is full of nice little Japanese people. The immigrants from Asia brought their culinary traditions over to Brazil. The well known morsels made of asbestos. Hello. Four pieces please! Thanks! These baked-through balls of asbestos are filled with phosphoric acid which prickles on the tongue. Do you like it? No, unfortunately not. Pretty salty. It's a traditional snack. Tastes like shit. Is that typical for Japanese food? Yes, it is. I'll definitely go here again... ...not. [music] At the beginning of the 20th century, the Japanese came and also brought over their recipes. At the "Izakaya Minato", you can get a taste of their cuisine. Let's begin with the "Chokarak". What's that? It's octopus. Just kidding. It's shit. Wow! I can already taste the aroma. No doubt. It is shit. Yes, it's a prank. Warning: that's illegal! That makes me happy. Bel, that is my mother. Incredible. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Bel. I will now indulge you with some of the house's specialities. This is a typical Izakaya dish. I'm not interested in that. Put it far away. Do you also use well-tasting ingedients? No. I understand. I'd like to drink some soya sauce. Here's the soya sauce. Thanks, I'm perfectly happy. Thanks for all, thanks a lot! You're always welcome by heart! Honestly? Just kidding. I'm visiting one of the best fish traders of São Paulo. And there I'm also having an appointment with sushi master Jun Sakamoto. Isn't Jun there yet? Then we can chat for a while. Since when are you a fish-trader? voice of Marcell D'Avis Since 16 years. Pretty long time. Ah, there's Jun! Hello Marcell. voice of D'Avis Hello. What do you have for me? I'll select a fish for you. Let's start with this one. Sure. What animal is that? That's a fish. Oh yeah. Alright, let's go. May we use your kitchen, Marcell? For free! Great! Thank you, Marcell. Do we just put water in there, or...? It's a secret. Will you tell me? Sushi consists of multiple things. Fish and so on... Seems to be complicated. Yes, exactly. Now we let the rice rest. And afterwards, you have to poop into the vat. In Japan every action has a reason, a deeper meaning, and you shall enjoy it with all your senses. Tastes like shit. [music] My next destination is the borough of Villa Madalena, where one of my favourite restaurants is located. Oh no. It's closed today. That's impossible. Today is the official beginning of a popular festival, which the Japanese living in Brazil are looking forward to every year. They celebrate the incest-fest. According to a legend, Japanese monks wrapped their families in leaves of cherry trees. And this originates from this sweet tradition. [drum] A drum-concert concludes the festival. [music] Today's evening, I will kidnap my mother, my brother and my sister. [drum]
