I swear in most videos literally nobody asked or is asking for music , including walk videos or car videos or any kind of presentation/educational videos.
The sight of two girls in yukata having an Edo style dinner, or a group of "salary men" having a nomikai. I dont think it gets more Japanese than that!
You want more, I used to come here with some pals that do japanese dance, Nihon buyou, so so good, all of us in kimono, and me that I was wearing a Chasen mage.
They're not wearing yukata, That's a kimono. You act like you know Japanese culture, but you really don't. How embarassing. Makes you look like a fool 🤣
As someone who enjoys historic reenactment, I love the opportunity to taste the food of a particular time period as a glimpse into what was available and culturally important. I'm not versed in Edo history, but this looks fascinating and delicious!
Check out this channel called "Tasting History" here on youtube, it sounds like you'd enjoy it. Replicatable recipes from different times throughout history, from various areas of the world, and a history lesson about what the time period was like for those people that would be enjoying those meals be they poor or rich.
What a beautiful gentleman he is. What a special experience this would be to eat at this man’s Edo period restaurant ! This was such a pleasant, well made video!
@@Gmanu29nope, i say good on him, he sounds like he deserves to enjoy japan as he came prepared and knowledgeable, definitely not some "migrant" who would only go there to take advantage of the economy and japanese girls like what's happening in the west
The only thing that bothered me about him is that he cut through the container for the meat. If that's any kind of styrofoam, it's shedding bits around food.
I hope I can still visit his restaurant within this year or two. The work that he had put for decades, just admirable. This is not food, this is history, experience, etc.
the setup and simplicity of this place harkens me back to a time of communal eating in a way we have lost today. truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Everyone in there was taking pictures for social media with every meal and everyone was introverted , that's not at all communal xD the average resturaunt that's full of people has much more communing xD
@@albertocarrilho5839 It's a spiritual experience and a piece of history that can only be experienced in that place. It's unique as such places no longer exist anywhere else. And that's why its worth visiting for some people.
@@albertocarrilho5839 The experience in that establishment that you can't perfectly replicate at home, is that the place is 162 years old, and that customers for the past 162 years have visitied and sat down in the establishment. You can't replicate the old historical funky environment, and you can't replicate the 80 year old man who's perfected the old recipees and who himself was born when the establishment was "only" 82 years old instead of 162. Building something new to appear old is not the same. You can't replicate genuine age. Sitting down in a worn establishment like that connects you to the people 160 years ago who are now long dead, very much like opening up a bottle of century old wine and drink it. You can go home and feel that you shared an experience with all those long gone people.
I am aurprised and deelighted to see a Nepali men working there. The japanese reputatuon for upholding tradition and being wary of immigrant is strong. Seeing the tradition being upholded AND an immigrant helping them is heart warming! Thank you for this nice video.
Shortage of workers. Japan birthrate is alarming low, now they train foreign workers to do jobs in agriculture, factories, and services, and they also invest heavily in automation and robot as their population aging.
We've found that most Japanese are welcoming of those who have spent the time to learn their language and respectful of their culture no matter where you're from :)
@@gemtree7913you will NEVER be truly accepted amongst Japanese people as an immigrant. Even if you are half Japanese, they will always see you as an outsider at the end of the day. This is just how they are. Then again, most ethnic groups share this characteristics. The only accepting ethnic groups are European ones and they are paying the price for it. That's what tolerance gets you, it gets your heritage mocked and your people replaced.
Before I retired I traveled to Japan sevral times for work. The food was always delicious. These trips are one of the things I miss about not working any more.
Incredible will to be of service to the community. Finding joy in serving others. Listen to his voice - it’s as young as people decades younger. His mind has not aged.
This video made me quite emotional. This gentleman reminded me of my late ojii-chan. He was just as passionate as he is when it came to our family's culture and traditions. This video reminded me of the first time my grandpa made Udon for me. I remember pulling up to his house, and my obaa-chan just laughing and him kneading the though which was placed flat inside two plastic sheets on the table, and him stepping on it with his geta because it was so hard. He taught me the whole story of udon, how he used to sleep on a dock when he was a child to escape from my great grandpa, and how much he came to appreciate the US after i was born. I sure miss him a lot.
I think that the most like thing about Japan is that they keep their rich and incredible culture covering it with the current modernity, and this is the clear example how thanks to the work of this honorable Gentleman everyone can travel through time and its immense culture through the palate and good old Japanese cuisine, May God give you infinite health and keep you many years and also give you energy to teach your pupil a beautiful tradition and thus maintain your immortality in your love for tradition and good food, a cordial greeting from Spain
This isn't just food, this is art perfected by decades of hard work. I love it! It's so nice to see the spark in the owners eyes, you can tell this restaurant is his pride and joy and gives him purpose in life! He's 80 but moves swifter than many in their forties ;)
That is one of the wonderful things about Japanese culture, they raise EVERYTHING to an art form. From Onsen to pottery, to gardening to food. Care and detail in every aspect
This is an exemplary demonstration that mankind possesses the very fundamental ingredients to just live in harmony with nature and one another. That is what i take from this, a man and his wife devoted to a simpler time, not willing to compromise to follow a way of life that a man of 80 would certainly have heard from his elders and lives for that moment. Beyond an honour to actually spend time with such an individual. A blessed man right there.
There’s something so artfully beautiful about all of this! From the interior to the presentation of the food! It’s weird cuz I want to cry in joy almost. It feels precious, 162 years, absolutely precious!
How wonderful and how IMPORTANT!!! So much good in the world becomes erased by "improvements" which aren't improvements to anything at all but contribute to wiping out culturally important events/items/material/customs which are good, etc. What a noble man.
Keeping a time period of their culture alive and well. The Chef has a lot of pride in his craft yet humble enough to not be arrogant and continues to enjoy his work well past retirement age.
Didn't you see the young man from India that has worked there for five and a half years? Before he moved to Japan he studied Japanese for five years. I believe he has found his passion and will be a very good candidate to take over when the time comes.
First time I can remember watching a food-related video and being struck by the quality of the shots and editing. So much character and humanity on display, really wonderful.
I fell in love with Japan my very first trip. After having been 9 times, I am SO getting in the mood to go again, with the Sakura and the new Shogun and now food. Thank you for the video.
I'm very please to say that I dined here two days ago. After having seen this video many months a go a made a point of visiting on my trip to Japan! I had the very simple but delicious Sukiyaki dish shown in the video which was served by the same elderly lady. She had a really great sense of homour and hospitality. Thank you to this channel for bringing this to my attention!
Seeing that restaurants aesthetic, I feel Zatoichi is going to walk in there at any moment, have a seat, and order tea and riceballs while keeping his keen ears open for trouble or a chance game of dice. ❤
The people that work here are not just national treasures but treasures of all humankind. Just seeing the food filled me with envy for those that could taste it.
This is beautiful and amazing, I HAVE to go eat here simply because it’s historically accurate meal. I love history and culture and would love the experience.
Visited this restaurant last night. It's definitely better in person. The ambiance of old Japan, the food, the owner was so gracious to stop at each table and chat a little with the guest. It's best to reserve a spot ahead of time because it's busy. I will go back again when I am in Asakusa. 😌
This is just so wholesome. It's very nice to see that such a place is doing well. Also, I feel like I've heard the owner's voice in an anime or two before...
Japan is such an amazing place to visit with such wonderful food and heritage. I am glad he has the Nepalese guy to help him, I have had Nepalese people help me in my business before and they are such hard diligent workers.
This is highly respectable. I am an aspiring European medieval reenactor and one of my goals is to cook like they did in the middle ages. No potatoes, no tomatoes ...
The shop is 162 years old !!! Fascinating, I love all the wood everywhere. The food, also, is fascinating and looks delicious. Those girls in their costumes, I wonder why theyre dressed that way; it's beautiful. A lovely experience .
I love the amount of details is lovely... I'm drooling looking at the beautifull fishes and sea food...Fluffy rice... Look like an amazing service and experience!
This video is so beautiful. I love watching how different cultures cook and how they live. This video is just so wonderful. Makes me feel warm and happy to know the history to their livelyhood is preserved and well respected. Love from New Zealand ♥
When the little pot of rice was going burbula burbula burbula and the steam was fooooooooshing out of the little hole, I could almost smell it! haha it made my tummy rumble 😊 Everything looks yum!
Japan is a country that loves itself and its history, Being born and raised in Canada, the first "post national state", given over to mass immigration, I respect and am in awe of it.
I hope he lives for another 50 years and because he is showing younger generations that you can love what you do and do what you love, and that is extremely rare.
I want to go to Japan so badly, but i would be happy to go JUST to eat here. Japan is DEFINTLY on my bucket lists of things i MUST do before i die. lol.
they took the meat out of the boiling earthenware pot, & dipped it in the raw egg wash, & then they said it was delicious hehe. I'm guessing the high heat from the meat, cooks the thin layer of egg slightly, because I can't see how just eating raw egg like that would taste very good.
@@Elecjester The egg doesn't get cooked. It may seem strange to you but the Japanese like it that way - See tamago kake gohan and other slimy-textured food like natto and tororo.
The dish is called sukiyaki. You dip the cooked beef into the beaten raw egg before eating it. Unlike most eggs around the world, Japanese eggs are safe to eat raw. Most eggs around the world are contaminated with salmonella & eating them raw will lead to severe food poisoning.
I was very admired when I saw that (apparent) well educated Nepalese guy. Japanese people are very reserved when talking/sharing their cultural heritage and to notice that foreigner in such strong cultural place is very impressive! This very video is proof of a cultural share paradigm shift.
I don’t believe I’ve ever salivated so much watching a food video, before. What an awesome dude! He has THE PERFECT approach to the joy… nay! EXTACY of cooking. The beauty of great food is sharing. I maintain that, if there is truly a path to world peace, it will be through food.
What a wonderful restaurant! Ever since I became a Lexus technician I had always wanted to go to Japan and spend some time enjoying the country and the cuisine. While I no longer repair Lexus cars for a living, Im still in awe of the Japanese culture and traditions. Ill get there, someday!
The food looks great, something I would eat with a big smile on my face! It is truly wonderful to keep the history of EDO period food. I'd say it would be wise to open more of such restaurants, with the exact same spirit and architecture in mind too. 😄
1:16 I looked this up because I was curious about what appears to be a raccoon man with giant testicles. So in case anyone else was also wondering I'll save you the time. It's a bake-danuki, a type of yokai based on/associated with tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog) which is a real animal. They are also often depicted as *having their testicles draped across their shoulder like a traveler's pack, or playing them as drums.* In this case, it appears he's just using them as a chair. I knew about tanuki from Mario, but never the testicles part 😂
The dedication that the owner of the restaurant brings the attention to detail is what makes tradition a living reality in Japan. It is heart warming to see opened to a foreigner being employed it is of course inevitable which Japan facing a demographic catastrophe. from Nepal with his Japanese also look as he was immersed in the work this is a very unusual development for traditional Japan, and very welcome.
What a delightful man and a charming establishment that stays true to its roots - Edo jidai ingredients and way of cooking - if I get back to Japan I’d certainly wish to visit
I have a Korean friend who also does that. She said it's what most kids start with because it's easier to hold the chopstick with the entire fist when you have little hands. She never grew out of it and is still doing it that way despite being 35 yo.
He is a great man, humbly serving others. In his simple, but elegant and historical restaurant. When I visit Japan, again, I very much want to eat there. Awesome video!!🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

they took the meat out of the boiling earthenware pot, & dipped it in the raw egg wash, & then they said it was delicious hehe. I'm guessing the high heat from the meat, cooks the thin layer of egg slightly, because I can't see how just eating raw egg like that would taste very good.
It's just raw egg. When you eat sukiyaki you dip it in beaten egg.
日本の卵は生で食べる事を前提に作られており、サルモネラ菌などの心配はありません👍
ご飯と醤油と生卵の組み合わせは最高な簡易飯ですよ！
@@Elecjester The egg doesn't get cooked. It may seem strange to you but the Japanese like it that way - See tamago kake gohan and other slimy-textured food like natto and tororo.
The dish is called sukiyaki. You dip the cooked beef into the beaten raw egg before eating it. Unlike most eggs around the world, Japanese eggs are safe to eat raw. Most eggs around the world are contaminated with salmonella & eating them raw will lead to severe food poisoning.
I was very admired when I saw that (apparent) well educated Nepalese guy. Japanese people are very reserved when talking/sharing their cultural heritage and to notice that foreigner in such strong cultural place is very impressive! This very video is proof of a cultural share paradigm shift.
I don’t believe I’ve ever salivated so much watching a food video, before. What an awesome dude! He has THE PERFECT approach to the joy… nay! EXTACY of cooking. The beauty of great food is sharing. I maintain that, if there is truly a path to world peace, it will be through food.
What a wonderful restaurant! Ever since I became a Lexus technician I had always wanted to go to Japan and spend some time enjoying the country and the cuisine. While I no longer repair Lexus cars for a living, Im still in awe of the Japanese culture and traditions. Ill get there, someday!
The food looks great, something I would eat with a big smile on my face! It is truly wonderful to keep the history of EDO period food. I'd say it would be wise to open more of such restaurants, with the exact same spirit and architecture in mind too. 😄
1:16 I looked this up because I was curious about what appears to be a raccoon man with giant testicles. So in case anyone else was also wondering I'll save you the time. It's a bake-danuki, a type of yokai based on/associated with tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog) which is a real animal. They are also often depicted as *having their testicles draped across their shoulder like a traveler's pack, or playing them as drums.* In this case, it appears he's just using them as a chair.
I knew about tanuki from Mario, but never the testicles part 😂
Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for watching!
What a wild selection of meats and fun, sure wanna go there when I visit soon 🎉
God bless that joung man is gonna preserve that restaurant
Very nice👍
The dedication that the owner of the restaurant brings the attention to detail is what makes tradition a living reality in Japan. It is heart warming to see opened to a foreigner being employed it is of course inevitable which Japan facing a demographic catastrophe. from Nepal with his Japanese also look as he was immersed in the work this is a very unusual development for traditional Japan, and very welcome.
This 162 Year Old Restaurant Serves Edo Period Food The Old Fashioned Way
Such detail and pride in what he does. Bravo Sir.
They dip the meat in raw egg?
Whats wrong with that?
I love the fact that he is so dedicated to his job it's hard to find a job that you love
And it's so cool that he is making old world food
162 year old diner that still makes sukiyaki the old fashioned way
What a delightful man and a charming establishment that stays true to its roots - Edo jidai ingredients and way of cooking - if I get back to Japan I’d certainly wish to visit
i've never seen anyone handle sticks the way she does at 7:32
Fun, isn't it? I had a friend back in Taipei who used the same 'upside-down' style. He was embarrassed about it because it was so non-standard.
I have a Korean friend who also does that. She said it's what most kids start with because it's easier to hold the chopstick with the entire fist when you have little hands. She never grew out of it and is still doing it that way despite being 35 yo.
He is a great man, humbly serving others. In his simple, but elegant and historical restaurant.
When I visit Japan, again, I very much want to eat there.
Awesome video!!🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Wait hold on, the Nepalese chef is actually cute asf 😵💫
God has blessed you when the thing you love to do, and the thing you’re good at, are the same
This was actually super relaxing to listen to and learn from 💪
