I find it very cute that all the workers dressed like they work in a yoshoku restaurant. Most of the time when going to an okonomiyaki restaurant, the chefs go for the a lighter dress (t-shirt, happi coat, apron and hairband). It can get quite warm near the plates! Okonomiyaki is usually considered 'junk food' so this is different.

Everyone is so good looking! Even the dad is so fashionable! Since Yousuke used to be a drummer, he can multitask very well by cooking several okonomiyaki at the same time. Keep this series going!

I get my morning latte from a lady who runs a coffee stand at a gas station. It's half the price of the same thing at Starbucks and just as good to me. It's nice chatting, and sharing pictures of our animals and stuff like that. Plus getting it from a place like that has other benefits. For example if I forgot to take cash out, since she doesn't do debit, she will still make me a coffee and I will just pay her double the next day.

Japanese people are so polite. I worked for a Japanese company years ago, and everything at the company was 1st class. The CEO would talk to you like he was your friend.

Okonomiyaki has always been my favorite Japanese ‘shomin-ryori’ (庶民料理, or ‘common people’s food’.) Fast, cheap, and actually decently well-balanced food since there’s a ton of cabbage it. It’s also customizable, since you can fairly easily swap out one ingredient for another, so it’s good for vegetarians…as long as you’re not too picky about fish-based ‘dashi’ in the mix. Oh, and it’s good with beer. 🍻

Generally speaking, surprise inspections are rare--usually only when triggered by a specific complaint from a customer. Restaurants like this with an open cooking area tend to be more conscientious about cleaning and hygiene, but occasionally older restaurants--mom-and-pop places--can be remarkably filthy. (I remember working in a ramen shop in Waikiki decades ago and getting dinged by the health inspector just for leaving the ice scoop in the ice machine...) And Japan hasn't instituted any kind of health department public rating system for restaurants like some cities in the U.S. have done.

Fascinating ! I really enjoy this series - gaining insights into the people and practices running these businesses - thanks for sharing Paolo. Hello from London.

Okonomiyaki was something I always looked forward to when I was a kid. There was a ma and pa shop that my auntie would take me to and they always made my own "special" okonomiyaki, which was just a smaller one for my size. I always loved watching the bonito dance on top. This video brought back a lot of warm happy memories for me, thank you Paolo! I can't be in Japan now with my family due to COVID and work, but I am thankful to have a look back at my childhood and seeing how things have changed (or remained the same) thanks to you and your videos!

everyone in the restaurant is handsome ❤️‍🔥🥹

I'm obsessed with the dad, he has such a stylish air about him

This is fantastic. Bless all the Chefs of the world and the joy they give us w/ delicious food!

I bet many customers would love to come here not just for their amazing cooking skills but also for a little peek of the good looking sweet gentlemen😂
