You do your best coz you don't have a salary but a lot more responsabilities and "unlimited" hours of work, remember what the guy said in the video? The owner is the first who enters in the restaurant and the last to exit. Form the other side the worker, ha a salary and the pay is granted (at least until the owner have money), determinated hours of work and A LOT LESS responsability.

I told him that I saw him on this video and that it was inspiring, and he gave me a sticker with the restaurant name on it and even took a selfie out the front!

I went today (march 2019), and it seems he got some workers (no father) and the shop is doing well. Good for him. If you look in the ramen magazines, you'll find fancy and popular shops, but not Kunimoto. Please support them, he serves a great bowl of shoyu ramen. The trip to Takasago is worth it.

This was way before this video came up, and I still can't forget the shock when I realized it actually was that exact shop that was featured in this video.

The documentary was excellent to view and listen to. But I am very glad I read your comment too. I am enjoying learning to make Ramen and experiment a lot as well. The thick broth looked like my preferred style from the documentary! Although the Ramen was insightful, I believe even more insightful was the Mindset of the owner, who gave away many pearls of wisdom (to use a phrase to capture a more complex reality) both in one's path in life as well as the Japanese context to that. For small example, the chance to be one's own boss - although the commentator said that you cannot shy away from more responsibility - the real value I felt was you would do all these things with greater satisfaction if you knew they were your dream or else your choice and not someone elses': Thus I wonder if that explains if he found a true mentee/apprentice (is a better word), his aim would be for the same outcome (or better) for such a student ! I hope my comment adds something to your direct experience of this Ramen Shop and the excellent owner.

I have no idea how but this video stumbled on my feed (prob some sort of algorithm from my search history of restaurants in Takasago). Anyway, I was in the neighborhood and went there Saturday night. I have lived in Japan for 5 years and I know when ramen is good. Kunimoto-san's ramen was more than good. It was special. The moment I tasted the broth and took a slurp of the noodles, I know he gave care and love to it. I had one more bowl before I left Monday night and the feeling was the same even though I went in at one of the busiest times when there was a line out the door. Despite the rush, he kept a big warm smile on this face. And by the way, looks like there is a new helper...think he's Japanese and speaks English perfectly. Anyway, I really appreciate this video.

Yeah, I came back to watch this video again because as a business owner myself it gives me a good vibe. The way this guy dedicate himself to his restaurant, the way he talks about his duty, is so inspiring. I think this is the way to start a business, just think you found your place in the society and that the most important thing in life is to fulfill it, only then you can embrace the hard work and do it the best you can. This video helped me so much last year, helped me understand and accept my place at the time, but this year I'm so tired that I don't think I can keep working this much for another year. Life is no joke. Wish I've been born rich.

Just came back to watch this video I had seen many years back. This is really inspirational, and can put you back on focus

Running any small restaurant in a big city (especially in Asia) is never for the faint of heart. My mother used to own a small sushi store and it was from 10:00am to 0:00 midnight, 7 days a week. And just like this owner right here, always the first to present at the store, and last to leave.

This is why Japanese Ramen are the best.. it’s main ingredients: passion, hard-work and dedication.

It also is his life. For better and worse. 80 hour work weeks means very little time with friends and family besides his parents working their with him, and if he gets sick or injured the store closes. He cant own a dog because he doesnt have time for it. Likely wont find a wife unless its a customer. The list goes on and on.

People keep saying its fast food. I think what they are thinking is, it's prepared fast for you, eat it and go. It's not really in the sense of North Americans fast food at all. It's prepared the night before, it takes time to make the broth and eggs and prepare the meat. It's not fake food like at McDonalds where they cook it for two minutes and everything is done. Cup of noodles and instant noodles is more like "fast food" in that sense. Most Ramen noodle shops are small like that because bigger space costs so much more and it only takes 15 minutes to eat noodles, you aren't going to go into a restaurant and order ramen and have drinks with your friends for two hours.

+Georgia Cheung Depends what type of ramen you order. Tonkotsu-based broth ramen (pork broth) is rich and fatty from the pork bones that's boiled down. Then they add chashu meat (pork slices) as a topping, if desired.

@katicus7987

7 жыл бұрын

cloddiehoppers Doesn't really matter. You still have to prepare the broth, and pork before hand. It's not a 2 minute process like putting water in a cup and microwaving it for 3 minutes. You still cook the pork and add spices, slice it up then serve it on or in the broth. The point is it's not fast food, it's just served fast. Have you ever really seen what McDonalds chicken mcnuggets are made of, their french fries, and meat? It's not even real, then they freeze it and ship it to McDonalds and they make it in 2 minutes for you, that's fast food. I still love their french fries and chicken mcnuggets but my point is, THAT is fast food in every sense.

As somebody who actually tried to make ramen from scratch, I found it shockingly laborious. I would maybe do it for fun once a year but never routinely. And how these people could possibly make this a "fast food", in the sense of served fast, is completely beyond me.

His face and expression clearly shows he’s a hardworking , honest and kind person ! I’m hoping he will succeed in life! Good luck on his business! Such a cool and charming guy

That positive attitude, passion, and dedication he has..is everything...

much respect to this ramen restaurant owner, ur food looks very tasty maybe one day ill have the pleasure of tasting his restaurants noodles

He almost made me cry of how hard he worked for others

Love his level of dedication. Behind that friendly smile, you can see how tired he is. It's certainly not easy running your own eatery. Definitely would love to try his ramen out! On a separate note, Not even 1/4 of the Malaysian eateries have that level of cleanliness he does.

true love for what he does, with that crazy schedule. truly a great man!

His smile reminds me of James Franco, even the crinkle on the side of his eye when he smiles.

From what I gather, grocery shopping in Japan for many is not like how most Americans (and Canadians) do it. Instead of driving to the store and gathering 100 lbs of food once a week, many stores are within a very quick walk or bike ride, so getting food for the day and carrying it home is fast and easy. Lots of little trips instead of a few huge trips

@zephc

I wouldn't swear to good prices :P But I'd say a lot of corner stores can have a lot of the day to day things you need, but you can still go to larger more centralized grocery stores to get things (which might be a bit further, but still easy to get to on bike or foot), and up to big box stores like Costco which will be huge but few and far between relative to the smaller stores. In the US a lot of places have sort of forgotten about corner stores, and they've been pushed out by big box stores (the economics is complex but places like Walmart get huge government subsidies), but its more common in the really car-dependent places. In cities in the US, there will be a lot more smaller stores where people can get around by foot or bike more easily. The US is sort of a pathological case when it comes to car dependence, and picking the right tool (foot, bike, car, public transportation) is a lot easier in other counties.
