    So sorry for your loss, Eric. It's never easy to lose a loved one. Keeping you in our thoughts.
    My husband and I love your videos. You have quickly become our favorite TH-camr. You're such a breath of fresh air...pure enjoyment, no drama, just a genuine guy who appreciates the wonderful food Japan has to offer. Would love to see another collaboration with John Daub, who is amazing, too.
    All the best!

    I love these episodes where everyone can see that you are really enjoying yourself and really loving the food at a restaurant you love. So cool when we get to see you genuinely happy eating at a restaurant. I know it's a super hard time for you right now with the loss of your pops, know that we all appreciate everything you do and we're here for you. If you decide to take time off to grieve which you should, know that we're all here if you need to talk. I lost both of my grandpa's (they were like dads to me) to a stroke exactly one month after each other last year so I know the pain must be unbearable, try to stay strong. Much love to you and the family

    I am sorry about your loss, my friend!
    The owner giving you that fan was very nice of him, and the food and relaxed homey atmosphere looked very good and inviting!
    I watch your videos almost religiously and got my family and wife watching as well now.
    I rewatch them constantly as there is such great variety and the videos, whether if they're of you or you and your sons, among others, are always a blast!
    Keep it up!

  • @MisterBisco
    @MisterBisco ปีที่แล้ว

    This seemed like your perfect style of restaurant - so great to see you have a big "meh" when you go to "upscale" places and then a full "wow!" at a little hole in the wall like this. And not to politicize too much, but these places are why we need to support local businesses!
    And of course, continued condolences for your loss. I hope you can share some more about him whenever you get back to making videos. I'd love to hear more about his life!
