I think I need to buy some Tokyo Merch the next time I visit the north to use as omiyage for my Okinawa friends here, haha 😅 way cooler than what I usually pick out!!!!
Have you ever toured a nori factory before? It would be interesting to see how raw seaweed is turned into nori and how they process other things like kombu.
The fact that you were granted such awesome “ behind the scenes “ access to this factory is so cool. You content is always so informative and you can definitely see the work you put in to make these videos possible. Much love from Maryland, USA ❤️
Isn't it great😀🤩 I just love behind the scenes programs and factory tours .... It is so enjoyable to be able to view such things far away in another country 🙏
I so desperately want to visit Japan. I have to keep pushing my trip back. These videos really make me feel like I'm visiting right from home. Thanks Paolo!!!!
I feel that. Trip was cancelled in late Jan due to hearing news about the pandemic in China. So I just hit the books and learned Japanese in preparation for the day I set foot in Japan
The delivery guy pausing on the sidewalk to let a pedestrian pass and bow to them is truly beautiful! you gotta ❤️ cultures where ordinary people have so much consideration & respect for each other!
I thought ice cream flavor testing was my dream job. I didn't know there was a gyoza, steamed bun, meatball and shumai tasting job. I would never be late or miss a day of work!!
This was my initial reaction too, but remember the guy in charge of it in the video said it rarely happens that things don't go right? And he said he tells the kitchen to shut things down and figure out why? His job there is super important, and prevents customers from being disappointed and from getting sick. But what stops HIM from getting sick? I think he's more of a hero than we realize.
Factories everywhere have to be exceptionally clean when they handle food, you'd expect them to be disgusting and smell awful but really they are some of the cleanest work environments around due to how strict governments are. A lot of it is usually handled from the start by having machines that are exceptionally precise and tight so they almost never leak or anything. Actually really surprised how this factory's machines were definitely not very precise and seemed to spill a lot, they must spend an exorbitant amount of time cleaning. I worked in a factory that processed food items for most of university and they are surprisingly interesting to see in action.
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify not just that. But any contamination means loss of an entire batch of product, and loss of more production while the place is inspected and cleaned. Which both cost a lot of money. And of course the reputation of the company is at stake as well. A major food factory having problems, even occasional problems, makes national headlines and can mean loss of customers for a long time.
Growing up in the us there was a show I feel like we all watched called “how it’s made” and this hits all those nostalgic memories but with Japanese products
I hope you never stop making these and a day in the life of, because these are the most informative and so fun and the best things on TH-cam. I love seeing a glimpse in the every day person of normal jobs and real day to day life too. I love these series SO much.
I love nikuman and gyoza! My parents are Chinese immigrants, but are from southern China, so they didn't eat nikuman or gyoza as much growing up. Steamed pork buns and dumplings are well known in northern China though. My mom sometimes makes steamed pork buns and dumplings, as I personally like them. This behind the scenes tour reminds me so much of my mom's buns and dumplings she makes for me and my family at home.
@@itrickyalove depends on where in southern China they are from. The general consensus is rice being the primary starch in the southern parts cuz its warmer and more rainy and flour (noodles, pancakes, dumplings etc) being the staple in the northern parts because the weather is cold. Now I’m from the south eastern part of China so our food is probably vastly different (mainly our part is known for sweet and greasy stuff). There usually are water near southern cities so there might be fish/river animals as well. Hopefully that adds some insight into this :-)
It always amazes me the production line in japanese factories. Everything looks so clean, and the care they show in every stage of production, is phenomenal!
Dear Paulo, this is our favorite must have shumai and pork buns when we’re in the Kansai region. Our last trip was in 2019 and we had loads of it. Right now, we’re missing this. Thank you for filming this video at 551 factory.
Omg, all these videos make me want to go back to Japan! I stayed in Okinawa for a month & 1/2 and visited mainland Japan for 5 days. I miss the food SO MUCH! 🤤
Love these "Made in Japan" and "Day in the life" videos. Do you often get asked by companies or employees to do the videos, or normally ask around if you could do a video?
I'm a chinese and these pork buns and siomais are definitely one of the best I've had! Still remember how long the queue was when we first had this in Kyoto station!
I love Japanese commitment to make good products. No wonder they are great. I mean I cannot imagine how to even start a smaller version of that factory.
Their siu may is honestly the best, its like eating their pork filling without the bread. Honestly can't wait for a chance to go to Japan again and eat their siu may and butaman.
the production value of his videos is huge! he has to apply his own formula for videos on to a whole company and keep his content consistent while filming entirely different people for every video. amazing content man. i cant stop watching them. hopefully someday i can come to japan and see all of this with my own eyes.
551 Horai 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I could eat their stuff all day long!!! Thank you so much for sharing this behind the curtain tour. I loved how they work. Everything is clean and orderly. 🧡
I got the chance to try these pork buns 3 years ago during family vacation in Tokyo and oh my god it was so good. No wonder it's so popular in Japan! Hopefully once the pandemic subsides I can finally visit Japan again and buy these pork buns
Always gives me confidence in a product when they literally let you wonder around the building nosing around. Shows they don’t have anything to hide there. Good.
The smell of freshly made steam buns are irresistable. That's why they make it fresh in stores... in Taiwan when it's time a fresh batch is out people line up near their local bun shops... its just an experience it itself and sadly something you cannot find in the West. I don't know a single fresh bun shop in the US. Just found out that 551 Horai's founder is Taiwanese... so to open such a shop like the kind you can find in Taiwan street corner in Japan makes sense. Yet another Taiwanese food success in Japan, lol
Dear Paolo, As a Chinese-Filipino chef born in the States but is now based in the Nordics, thank you for featuring a lot of culinary segments here. I get to compare, study and improve along with your vids. Keep up the good work, hopefully I get to meet you in person along with John D. of Only in Japan when I do my ramen studies in person after this crazy covid roller coaster ride.
This is brilliant! I've been to Osaka twice from Europe and first stop is at 551 Horai. I've tried to replicate their buns but this finally answers the question after years of trying! Very cool series, Paolo!!
I really appreciate these behind the scene videos of yours, they shed a new light on many exciting aspects of Japan. I can see how much effort you put in every video. Keep up the great work. :D
I was stationed at Yokota Air Base from 1993 to 1997 and recently discovered your channel. I've really enjoyed watching your videos as they bring back so many memories of my time living over there.
Thank you, Paolo!! We all love 551 here! Thank goodness we have two of them in our neighborhood. Gotta go get them now! FYI, their stir fried noodles with seafood is also amazing!
It was soooooo fun to watch. Man whoever also engineered the factory parts did a great job. So much order to the whole process! Loved this video Paolo!
I bought a 3 pack in Osaka for a shinkansen ride to Tokyo, it's surprising how big and filling those babies are!! could barely eat two of them. thanks for the great video!
Most Japanese foods look so good. I really enjoyed watching this video. My 8 yr old granddaughter Jordy loves your channel. Please say hello to her. She wants to visit Japan one day. Jean from Arizona 🌴🦂🦎🌵🌻🐍🌞⛰
I loved this behind the scenes tour. It’s so cool seeing what happens at the central factory and then in the individual store. Very impressed by how fresh and clean all the food is. I need to visit one of these stores one day!
Now I'm craving pork buns! I've never thought I would be able to contribute to one of your video ideas but recently I've been thinking about how efficient and industry leading the Japanese are with their recycling - any possibility of going behind the scenes or doing a day in the life for such an idea?
Japan has a great recycling system for metal but needs a lot of work with plastics. Up until recently, they were still shipping plastic waste to mainland China. Recycling is the least preferred option out of the three Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. Japan's advanced recycling industry unfortunately probably does not make up for the fact that they're overproducing plastic by individually wrapping everything.
It's almost 3 am here, but when I saw the machines making the shumai (sp?) at 8:48, I simply wanted to stand up and start tap dancing 💃😅 They are so mathematically and esthetically perfect and cute 🥰 Thank you Paolo for another great video 👏
Aw man. I love this series but personally, I feel like I’m left hanging because you don’t take a bite of the food and tell us about it haha. 😅 I love the whole process 100% but seeing you enjoy the food in the end (like actual eating/review scenes and breaking it down for us) would be the cherry on top 🍒 Was waiting for that signature, Paolo “Mmmm!” when taking a first bite 😆
Only thing is in Japan, when its about shows relating to food, you never hear them say the food is okay or bad, its always AMAZING!!!! So if no matter the food quality we will always get the same result.
Oh yes--- 551 Horai nikuman. Thanks for reminding me to pick some up today. If you are a foreigner visiting Tokyo, definitely find a Horai shop and try them out...
Factories like this one here in Belgium are very depressing places where most workers simply cannot wait to go home (understandably) but clearly not in Japan. Your movies are always so happy and cheery, I just love the positivity!
well, sociaty in Japan works diffrent. Its not OK to complain, be lazy or not to LOVE youre company/bosses. Besides.... the bosses prob watched this before saying OK for it to air on YT.....
They aganonize over the proofing of the dough. My local mcdonalds can't be bothered to know if the hamburger patties are warm when they put together a double cheeseburger.
had their amazing pork buns during my holiday to Osaka last month. it was so good. what's even interesting is to see how their products are crafted everyday. thank's for the video Paolo
I'm actually shocked that some entrepreneur hasn't realized the opportunity of opening a fast food chain based on all these Japanese treats. If I had the funds, I'd do it myself as I think there is a real need, and desire for this type of fast cuisine in the States. Love these tours of yours, maybe you can get involved with an investor, and open some shops here in the US? 😁👍✌
@@leishi8911 I'm thinking of the average American, or Canadian for that matter, who has little experience with the Asian culture street food other than Americanized Asian fast food. Yes, there are restaurants, and areas that offer these street foods, but not a nationwide, or even citywide fast food place where one can get these delicious items. We must travel to that one place locally that has some of these items. I'm thinking the McDonald's of Asian fast food where you can get authentic street food, unlike that found at the completely Americanized Panda Express. 😁👍✌
@@TOM-C. there are some Asian stores in major cities with large Asian population. I haven't seen a bun store because it really requires a store front you can smell the freshly made buns. But other stores like many famous Taiwanese stores are opening in the US. Popular Taiwanese bakeries 95 degree C is opening stores all over Western US, and in my area there's a line every day. People who tasted actual Asian foods can't get enough of them.
We’re dreaming in that wish. This is how fast food should be done!!! Nevermind the fact that according to the rest of the world = industrial farming has made not only our fruits and vegetables bland and tasteless, but out meat 2!
I'm amazed how unergonomic loading the trucks was. I can't imagine having to duck under that door to load everything on the truck. Not sure I understand why it's like that.
It seems to me that the trucks are quite small, that's why. If you see the part where they're unloading, you can see how tiny the inside is compared to other types of trucks.
it's normal to do that since you've never had one. Once you did the line won't seemed like a big deal. It's one of those magical Chinese food which is unforgettable after you've had a freshly made one.
I love watching your vids^^ They are so informative and seeing it is awesome! I used to work in retail and lived in Hawaii. I had this one business man who would come in to get omiyage for his family back home in Japan. He would always tell me how life is back in Japan and I should visit! He was so nice and always told me, 'you should come and experience it when you get the chance.' Through your vids, part of me can! So a big Mahalo (thank you) from Texas!
I can't even put into words how amazing all these behind the scenes videos are made. The production quality is superb! It's like watching something akin to Discovery. I love seeing how well organized and punctuate all employees are. It's totally different to what we're used to here in European countries. And I can vouch that these steamed buns are really delicious and a must try for everyone visiting Japan! :)

What is your budget including flight ticket price?
@@thefurmidablecatlucky3 About 8k. I have places booked in Kyoto and Otaku and the hosts keep letting me push the dates back for my stay.

I feel that. Trip was cancelled in late Jan due to hearing news about the pandemic in China. So I just hit the books and learned Japanese in preparation for the day I set foot in Japan
When the public is given a chance to see behind the scenes stuff like this, it makes us appreciate the work that's put in on the product.

動画とてもよかったです。大阪に住んでいますが、工場内をこんなに詳細に見たのは初めてです。早速明日買って、工場の皆さんに感謝しながら食べたいと思います。
I thought ice cream flavor testing was my dream job. I didn't know there was a gyoza, steamed bun, meatball and shumai tasting job. I would never be late or miss a day of work!!
But before you can start in the tasting team you will have to go though the onion test :D

Really enjoyed these "behind the scenes" series. Thank you for making them. Would like to see a behind-the-scenes video of Japan's bakeries.
Theres a vod about the famous loaf bread. Panko?
i would like to know if paolo hires other cameramen because some shots are from different angles and for 1 person this would be difficult.
Yes, I've seen that one. It was great too. I was referring more to the artisanal bakeries.
@@Sonasic I've always assumed his wife does B-roll but that's just my assumption. It would Def be too much work for 1 person.

@@TOM-C. There's that night market place in Vancouver, but it all depends on how much asian population the city got.
@@leishi8911 I'm thinking of the average American, or Canadian for that matter, who has little experience with the Asian culture street food other than Americanized Asian fast food. Yes, there are restaurants, and areas that offer these street foods, but not a nationwide, or even citywide fast food place where one can get these delicious items. We must travel to that one place locally that has some of these items. I'm thinking the McDonald's of Asian fast food where you can get authentic street food, unlike that found at the completely Americanized Panda Express. 😁👍✌
@@TOM-C. there are some Asian stores in major cities with large Asian population. I haven't seen a bun store because it really requires a store front you can smell the freshly made buns. But other stores like many famous Taiwanese stores are opening in the US. Popular Taiwanese bakeries 95 degree C is opening stores all over Western US, and in my area there's a line every day. People who tasted actual Asian foods can't get enough of them.
Great video! I wish we had restaurant chains in the USA that took this much pride & care with their products!
We’re dreaming in that wish. This is how fast food should be done!!!
Nevermind the fact that according to the rest of the world = industrial farming has made not only our fruits and vegetables bland and tasteless, but out meat 2!
食品関係で働くのは仕事が大変ではなく、トイレに行きたい！っと思った時に、作業服を脱ぎトイレに行く。
その後、また大変な服に着替え、
消毒などいろいろする。
これが本当に大変なんです。
それが安全につながるのだけど、
自分には合わない仕事だったよ。
My ex was so addicted to 551 Horai. Every time we returned to visit Japan, he would search for any 551 Horai.
I'm amazed how unergonomic loading the trucks was. I can't imagine having to duck under that door to load everything on the truck. Not sure I understand why it's like that.
It seems to me that the trucks are quite small, that's why. If you see the part where they're unloading, you can see how tiny the inside is compared to other types of trucks.
I like 551 Horai! The best pork buns ever!
I was in Japan in 2017 and EVERYONE had these when we were looking for food. I'm sad we decided to skip it due to the line being ridiculously long.
it’s really delicious and just worth it to wait for a long queue ☺️
it's normal to do that since you've never had one. Once you did the line won't seemed like a big deal. It's one of those magical Chinese food which is unforgettable after you've had a freshly made one.
I love watching your vids^^ They are so informative and seeing it is awesome! I used to work in retail and lived in Hawaii. I had this one business man who would come in to get omiyage for his family back home in Japan. He would always tell me how life is back in Japan and I should visit! He was so nice and always told me, 'you should come and experience it when you get the chance.' Through your vids, part of me can! So a big Mahalo (thank you) from Texas!
Damn I want a red bean paste bun, when the hell is Japan gonna open back up for tourists lol I havnt been in years
I can't even put into words how amazing all these behind the scenes videos are made. The production quality is superb! It's like watching something akin to Discovery. I love seeing how well organized and punctuate all employees are. It's totally different to what we're used to here in European countries.
And I can vouch that these steamed buns are really delicious and a must try for everyone visiting Japan! :)
