Life on a Tiny Island | Taro Planting and Basket Weaving 

In a world where everything is so "digital" and daily life runs on technology, its nice to see you and Taku's channel showcase traditional, old world ways of doing things. Love seeing old world methods and learning at the same time!

Wow, another gem of a vedio from the little island of Niue. Thankyou sincerely. Weaving, planting taros and making takihi were the highlights. What a life both of you are having and the friendly locals will make you feel very special and welcoming. Thankyou

Caught and brought home 4 jumbo dungees and steamed them up for the family to watch this! Thanks for the cooking inspiration Taku and Joselyn!

It’s better when you know someone on the island so they can show you all the hidden gems Niue has to give! 🇳🇺

In northern Philippines, we use grated taro in our sinigang to thicken the sour tamarind broth. In another dish, we sautee onions and garlic and bits of pork belly and shrimp paste then use dried taro leaves and braise it in coconut cream until the pork is tender. This dish is called Laing (lah-ing). I think you two would love it! Hope to see Niue one day! Living my life vicariously through you guys! Looking forward to every video! Fuck the haters Jocelyn! You’ve got more support than you do haters. We women have got your back!

Thanks for the video…always enjoying your content…be safe!!

wow very interesting experience friend

As always keep it coming I can’t wait to see where you guys are 5 years from now 👍

Takihi is the yummiest bro. I never tried that traditional in the banana leaves method but I can imagine just how good that is.

Another awesome video you two ! We are from San Jose and love your travel and cooking vids! Love that you two are from the south bay! Keep up the great vids! BTW we really love the cross culture you two share , it hits home as I am japanese and my wife is mexican , we are both native San Joseans!

Taku walking around with a smile enjoying the adventure and hearing: "It's too hot, it's too cold, it's too heavy, I need a fan, I am sweaty, I don't have sunblock, the water is sloshy, it's so humid, it's wishy-washy."

Hopefully you can go catch the Beka. (Fruit bat). I have heard so many legendary stories about the beka.

I love to watch your video because I come from the island that the way of life in the islands.

Jocelyn! Have you ever heard of Dan Hernandez from Television? He's been doing the "Sport Fishing" TV show for almost 40 years in Southern California. He's a legend in SoCal but still so chill. The only reason I'm asking is because he started a RU-vid channel and he's been doing lives. Tonight the topic of doing collaborations to bump up his subs was mentioned by a viewer. Fisherman's Life was mentioned. And he said he did go fishing with Mattz once and had a collab planned, but the pandemic hit, and MATTs couldn't do it. But he did mention Taku! And how cool it would be to have you guys come down to Dodger Stadium with him when (I forget his name because I'm not into sports-Pitcher) the Japanese baseball star comes to town. It was mentioned that Dan is like the Huel Howzer of Sport Fishing and how he deserves a Simpsons cameo character too. He mentioned that he's probably the only "Latino" that's been on television consecutively almost every week for 37 years in TELEVISION HISTORY. Of course one of the viewers said, "Dan, you're the only guy who's been on television consecutively for 37 years, if not just for fishing" He's really humble and loves to do everything on his own meaning negotiating programming contracts with networks and etc . I just thought I'd mention it. I think you'd enjoy it for sure. You guys can each do an episode. He's definitely a Southern California legend. I think just meeting him and hearing his stories from way back in the days would be worth it all by itself. This guy is like living history. He's been so prolific in television when it comes to fishing around the world. And even personally negotiating contracts for his tv series personally, in each country. He's so understated, it's like he hasn't changed at all. Still doing free fishing events for kids every month, still knows all the OG personally involved background professionals in the industry, including DFW commanders, and if he doesn't know them, they definitely know who he is. Sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to shoot the idea in your direction. No need to mention me personally just say you heard through the grapevine. Thanks for living the life for us all guys,! Tight Lines! 👍👍👍🎣🎣

Amazing.

Awesome video

just fried some fish up and sat down and there's a new video let's get it!

🌴 it’s always cool to see traditional recipes from other cultures and places from far away , Taku what weight fly rod set up do you have , is it big enough for saltwater, you see were I’m going with this 🤔👍🏼👊🏼

Never see anybody drinks coconut like hot coffee 😁👍

Niue 🇳🇺 is one of the best islands in the south pacific barely anybody goes there its perfect

Hey Taku you can put the fish you catch in that basket.

Hawaiians make pounded cooked taro with some salt into a paste called POI. Samoans bake grated taro in the ground oven “Umu” then braised in coconut milk and caramelized sugar. That masterpiece is called Fa’ausi. Ooooh yeah!

Are those plants called elephant ear? Do they grow from a bulb?

Am pretty sure there are dry-land lo'i here in Hawaii but am most familiar w/wet-land vary, grown in flooded taro farms. If am remembering rightly, there are approximately >200+ varieties/strains of taro... A-L-O-H-A from Hawaii

I don’t think that taro would grow good here on our farm here in northern Indiana, that’s really neat how it grows.

Hawaiians eat taro, we call it kalo. And we mash it up to make poi.

10:38 bowling pin

*looks at thumbnail after being away for awhile* I guess it finally happened, Taku pissed off the wrong crab and it took got his arm.

Is this the same taro that the chips are made from?

❤🙏🤙🇰🇭🇹🇭🇺🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

Taku and Jocelyn❤️

The only canned coconut milk I’ve ever drank tasted like the can, and I absolutely love coconut milk.

Thanks for the video…always enjoying your content…be safe!!
