是以，他首先處理這個問題，以確保所有的訂單都按計劃進行。

He still has some time before the store opens.

在商店開業之前，他還有一些時間。

So it makes use of it by checking on the soybeans which have been soaking in the water throughout the night.

是以，它通過檢查整晚都在水中浸泡的大豆來利用它。

So what are you exactly checking for NATO?

那麼，你到底在檢查北約的什麼？

Ak fermented soybeans is probably most known worldwide for its powerful smell, distinctive flavor and gooey texture.

Ak發酵大豆可能因其強大的氣味、獨特的味道和粘稠的質地而在全世界最有名。

But the shop uniquely crafts are not the, with less smell and goofiness, making it more palatable for customers while still maintaining its superfood and extremely nutritious qualities.

但該店獨特的工藝不是，少了氣味和傻氣，讓顧客更容易接受，同時仍然保持其超級食品和極富營養的品質。

Regardless, 85% of the japanese population have come to enjoy NATO's ultra unique taste and texture, including my two year old son.

不管怎麼說，85%的日本人已經開始喜歡北約的超級獨特的味道和口感，包括我兩歲的兒子。

Cool, there's a little room.

酷，有一個小空間。

It's called Mudo, it's where the soybeans are fermented to about 40° at high humidity.

它被稱為Mudo，是在高溼度下將大豆發酵到約40°。

The kitchen uses a method called meaning that the heated charcoal is used to speed up the fermentation process.

What are you doing now?

Apparently if the soybeans are over fermented, It creates a less than pleasant smells.

顯然，如果大豆發酵過度，就會產生一種不那麼令人愉快的氣味。

So it needs to be inspected by hand one by one.

Were you able to tell the difference in the smell from the beginning?

你從一開始就能分辨出氣味的不同嗎？

I guess that's the only way to master a skill.

我想這是掌握一項技能的唯一方法。

After the soybeans finished the fermentation in the charcoal heated room, it goes through another fermentation process in the refrigerator, fermenting soybeans is a rather sensitive process as healthy living bacteria is used.

大豆在炭火加熱的房間裡完成發酵後，在冰箱裡經過另一個發酵過程，發酵大豆是一個相當敏感的過程，因為使用的是健康活菌。

So it's critical that the mudo is thoroughly cleaned each and every time it's used.

是以，每次使用mudo時都要徹底清潔，這一點至關重要。

This ensures that the older bacteria doesn't remain in the room and helping produce a more consistent product.

這確保了舊的細菌不會留在房間裡，並幫助生產出更穩定的產品。

So it's just before 11 a.m. so he starts to prepare, opening up the shop, wow, the first customer is already here since the shop creates specialized premium NATO flavors.

所以，現在是上午11點之前，所以他開始準備，打開店門，哇，第一個顧客已經來了，因為店裡創造了專門的優質北約口味。

Unlike the factory produced ones found in the standard japanese supermarket, Kazakh explains to customers recommended ways to eat each NATO products including the different foods and sauces which would pair well kind of like a not a sommelier.

與標準的日本超市裡的工廠生產的產品不同，哈薩克人向顧客解釋了每個北約產品的推薦吃法，包括不同的食物和醬汁，這將很好地搭配，有點像一個不是侍酒師的人。

For example, one of their NATO products pairs perfectly with corned beef and another one with cheese.

例如，他們的北約產品中的一種與玉米牛肉完美搭配，另一種則與奶酪搭配。

Oh she brought a gift.

In fact Akamatsu paper was commonly used in the past by many NATO producers but due to its high cost and time it takes a fold.
