Yo! That Chef looks so sincere and honest. I can tell he's full of positivity. I think I haven't seen such a person in a long time. I just want to go the restaurant because of his smile. ☺ P.s I think he spoke English near at the table 11:44 🤔 If so, much respect.

​@@PaolofromTOKYO Japanesd & Korean people are extream health conscious. Still they take soy sauce with sushi, sashimi, kimbap to damge kidneys & heart. Do not they know soy sauce contains so much sodium to damqge kidneys?

Seeing soo many jobs and what the people working do can open up soo many possibilities for young people. Paolo is the reason I got hired for my current job in Japan, a salesperson for a food wholesales company that also promotes food culture with events and such. I remember Paolo doing "a day in the life of x" for something similar and it helped a lot to know the ins and outs of the job during the interview process and application.

As a fellow chef, this idea of interacting with the customers and being entertaining cannot be undersold, its extremely important for us in the back of house to interact with the clientele and see them trying our dishes we put our souls into. Id wish I could work for a man like this for a year, his demeanor alone is inspiring.

Thanks for showcasing such a unique shop with such a decorated history! All of your day in the life and behind the counter videos are so well produced and thoughtfully showcase their subject. You're one of the most underrated creators on the platform Paolo. On a side note, I recently received your hot sauce and it's phenomenal! It's definitely got a kick but the umami flavor goes with everything I put it on! I would love to see more collaborations in the future.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It’s so awesome that many businesses in Japan are generational, insuring that traditions are passed on. It shows a lot of pride in their culture and in their value of Family. Thank you for sharing these videos. Hope you can feature more of these. Thank you Paolo.

I have been following your videos for a while and really appreciate how you document the culture and provide interesting facts about Japan. Love it!

11:38 Getting told he’s boring must have been a tough period. It makes me proud he stuck through and now gets to be the highlight of the visit instead! ❤

I love how this is a no-fluff way to show outsiders like me the traditional ways of Japan. It's awesome learning about different cultures!

They seem like such nice decent people who love their craft. Thank you Paolo, another fantastic production.

I love watching this kinda thing 🍣

The fact that we get free videos on KZread by Pablo is truly a gift 👏👏👏

I was having such a rotten day. Nothing was going right, I got yelled at for something that wasn't my fault and I lost a $20 bill. >.< This video made things feel just a bit better. Thanks Paolo!

Take it one day at a time.

As I understand, when you allow the chef or request the chef serve his choice of items, it is a big compliment that shows trust and appreciation for his skill.

You can stop saying you hope we like this video because we 💯 like every video you make. For me it’s a 💯 like rate for “Day in the life” & “Behind the counter” series. Thank you for keeping it going ❤❤❤

Your videos provide me with so much peace. I was in Japan back in March and it was such a beautiful experience. Everything was perfect, I’m taking Japanese clases to be able to communicate better and show respect while visiting. Next year we will be visiting for one whole month! ❤ can’t wait to visit some of these amazing places ❤🎉

The incredible thing about Tokyo is, that there are these great food places every where and usually not far from a public transport station.

Paolo Pro-Tip for interviews: ask personal but non-intrusive questions to break the ice and establish rapport like hobbies, etc. Also doesn’t hurt when you have a mischievous donkey-grin that Paolo has 😂😂😂.

It's really interesting seeing how much love and hard work this family puts into the shop and there job.

One thing I appreciate about these Japanese restaurants is that interacting with the chef and the chef getting to know the customers is a large part of the experience. Wish we had more of that culture in US restaurants.

Keep Sharing that Amazing content. For those of us that haven't had the chance to experience Japan... this is the closest were getting for now!

When i travel one day to Japan my problem gonna be how many restaurants i can check out before leaving again. All of these always look so insanely good :D

I still can’t figure out why I get excited when you make a new video about normal people making food…but you make it super interesting and entertaining. I love your hot sauce!!!!

I love your videos they help give perspective on life in japan

paolo i know you get hundreds of comments like this everytime you upload one of these videos but these are some of my favourite videos on youtube, there's nothing as wholesome and inspirational than getting a peek into the lives of such hardworking and passionate people

4:35 That is honestly my favorite part of these restaurant videos, seeing everyone be on time and courteous and friendly when bringing ingredients just helps the cycle, everyone doing their part. It's not easy but it makes a great environment when you know you can rely on fresh ingredients being brought to your restaurant and offering the best quality you can to your customers and guest. It's an important balance to maintain. I'd rather pay more if I knew that the process took care of more people in the process. 6:36 Exactly, that is the kind of relationship that should be a standard.

Bro I feel like Dave the Diver totally prepared me for these guys job!!!!

I love your videos on restaurants. Ive learnt so much about Japanese cuisine and mostly how much heart and dedication they put into their work. I have to admit i dont eat raw fish sushi but this video just inspires me to want to go Japan one day and eat them in a shop like this. Bucket list! 😊

Paolo smile never fails to cheer me up. Definetly the happiest man in Japan. Keep up the good work. Editing, sound and production top tier as usual. 👍

私は日本人だけど凄く勉強になりました😊

Traveling to Tokyo during September. I will definitely add this wonderful restaurant to my itinerary! Thanks, Paolo!

Love Yasui San’a positivity and his smile. A great way to brighten his customer’s day (besides the delicious sushi of course). Keep up the good work, can’t wait to visit the shop on my next trip to Japan! ☺️

everytime I watch paolo’s video, I will feel very calm and relax.. paolo’s voice always nice to hear and made me feel warm..

Niccce, Paolo's editing has really ratcheted up a notch. I remember his old vids were very bland, straightforward. Now they are very professional. I really like the translation interactions. Well done!

Paolo this was fantastic! Would you ever consider regularly asking the owners how they feel conversing in english or whether they are excited to have tourists visit? Im sure it would make a whole lot of people more comfortable knowing that a language barrier wouldnt dull the experience! 😅

I'll be sharing this one with my son. He loves cucumber sushi. Love the behind the counter series, keep up the good work.

Love your positivity as always, I hope the best for you and your family. And you're constantly working hard, getting up early in the morning and making connections to bring amazing videos.

Just realizing how many Japanese small businesses are benefiting from this particular series of your channel. It is great content for you, great marketing for the store, and great reference material for those to travel to Japan. Win-win-win! :)

I really love these videos. Paolo does a good job getting across the sense of what is actually happening in these places. It has been so fun watching his family grow and develop over these years as well. One video I'd like to see him (You) do is "Behind the scenes at a popular Yatai." I think it could allow so many more people to discover this awesome tradition in Japanese street food. Keep up the great videos my friend!

It’s great to see the work close up! These restaurants are so busy, and we learn a lot watching everybody! Thank you, Paolo!❤

I to struggle with social awkwardness And understand the strength it takes to come out of your shell To be more extroverted😢 A man that continues his 150 years of tradition 👏

Whenever I am in doubt about my own passions in life your videos seem to appear and light a light inside of me that helps me remember everything that brings me joy. The passion and positivity that shines from you and the lovely people in your videos are so contagious. Thank you Paulo. Much love from Denmark🍣🔥

Love these 'behind the counter' videos! Much more interesting than what Netflix and mainstream tend to churn out. Thank you for producing amazing content! 🙏🏻

What an amazing place, to imagine that it has been running through 6 generations and even survived through the war. Would love to visit, thank you for sharing another amazing behind the scenes video.

Paolo, i love how i can hear your "smile" while you speak so happily about all your subjects in your videos.

I love this episode and the sushi master and all the employees seem so very nice

In the 80's when I started eating Sushi and Sashimi (in SoCal), all Sushi Bars were very traditional like this one. Nice, neat, no b.s. frills and great Sushi. Today, good luck finding a high quaity traditional Sushi Bar. They do exist, but far and few between.

Man these videos make my weekend, any week i dont see a video, it makes me feel something is missing. Thanks Paolo for such great content.

Nice! Always wondered what would be behind the counter of a Sushi resturant!

true happiness is when the son and father is together. There is nothing more beautiful than having to see your parents get old and u get to accompany them.

I want to travel to Japan JUST to visit sushi shops. Ones like this make me yearn to travel. Great video. Thanks for sharing Paolo.

Love your videos Paolo and the history behind these small shops and the bigger ones. It’s a good comparison of how places are run in different countries. Keep it up.

I'm so grateful I can watch behind the counter situation closely like this, thanks a lot Paolo-san

Wonderful as usual, you always allow them to tell their stories. Perhaps next up could be a tonkatsu restaurant!

It is my dream to one day visit Japan and see all of these wonderful spots you have showed us! This one is defiantly at the top of the list! Thank you!

We will always support you and this channel. My well wishes to you and your family.

Haha i love the owner smile, he smiling when his worker expain about the tuna to paolo

Love how i feel their love/warmth 🥰 would love to try their sushi one day!

Love these consistent uploads Paolo, can't wait to visit Japan again soon.

I really love these videos of yours, they are so interesting to watch. I love the way you narrate them also. That sushi looks sos delicious, the quality of food there in Japan is exceptional.

Thanks Paolo, for sharing another great behind the counter video. You would be a great tour guide for someone visiting Japan. Stay safe.

This was such a nice video and all the workers look so happy. Food of course looks amazing, absolutely love sushi!

I love these videos. It lets me see that people can be happy and that gives me hope that my life may turn around one day

great esipode.. always very inspiring on how dedicated the Japanese are toward their craft

I just saw a video about “Japanese Fake Food Samples” and it was so cool. I was thinking it would be a great subject for you channel and had to come say something!

YES!! I'm earlier than usual, thank you for another behind the counter!! Literally planning my Japan trip with your videos as advice/recommendations!

I don't even like cucumber, but I looooove kappa maki. And that tuna in the video, uuuh, it's so high quality, even for an untrained eye like me. I will definitely try their sushi one day when I visit Tokyo.

I love this video Paolo. I learned a lot about sushi. I used just to eat sushi but learning more how it is made and its story, let me appreciate the food more.

I will always respect owners speaking in the native language of a client

When I see them carefully cutting the fish, I think about that episode of the Simpsons when Homer yells "I want a fugu!" :D

I love sushi ❤ Watching this video gave me so much more appreciation to sushi🍣 And the right way to eat it 😂 One day I definitely will visit this shop in Japan 🇯🇵

Absolutely makes my day every time there is a new video. Hope it never ends

Paolo , you're in a league of your own for excellent content ; So well shot and edited , interesting and paced , well done !

one of the chefs sounds like Kenjiro Tsuda... such a nice deep voice

What a wonderful family! And that food looks so delicious! Ahhh I made the fatal mistake of watching this food video without eating prior. 😂😂😂 Thank ya Paolo!

When you think of Edomae sushi, you think of conger eel! Tuna also looks very tasty! I would like to enjoy sushi from a long-established sushi restaurant!

I loved this video, thanks Paolo. I've been planning my first trip to Japan and I want to try small generationally run places like this.

i will watch anything paolo makes with his energy and style of editing.

Thanks Paolo for another amazing video! I'd love to see a day in the life of a Japanese veterinarian!!

Thank you so much Paolo, Maiko, and Wolfy!

love these videos. the staff really open up to you. great stuff.

This has been one of my favorites in this series🤤

Wow that looks splendid. I like how they keep the traditional going generation after generation. I want some cold noodles now too.

The way he slapped the shrimp(?) 🤣

Oh my adding to my bucket list.. can’t wait..!!thank you Paolo

This is soo much better than all TV combined. ❤❤❤

Thanks for a very nice video about a local Japanese sushi restaurant 👍

I always find it funny when Sushi Chefs frown on mixing anything into the Soy Sauce but people that claim to be Sushi enthusiasts do it by default confidently
