    Dear Paolo
    As a huge fan of Japanese culture and culinary, It is always a relief whenever I watch your video sir. As we all know, there has been a major earthquake at Noto area and as a result, the number of tourists in Kanazawa prefecture has dropped dramatically. So in my opinion it would be great if you film about Kanazawa for your next video. I hope it will give an inspiration for those who are planning to visit Japan

    I love unagi SOOOO much. It's really hands down my favourite dish. I had a local place that had great unagi and went there several times a week. That's when i discovered I have an intolerance to umami which unagi is PACKED full of. It's bad, my intestines swell up and go rock hard, so bad I can't even walk. So how I can't even eat my all time favourite dish, but I make an exception for a day when I'm in Japan, it's worth the pain. I have to go glutamate free for at n least 2 weeks before i go to Japan because ALL their food is umami 😅, especially unagi.

    That 36 yo dude looks like early 20s. He is just like your typical aniki in an tokyo anime.

    I went to the number 1 Michelin eel shop in tokyo and didn't really much care for eel before that. When I left it became one of my favorite meals of all time, dear lord was that good

    Eel is by far my favorite fish because of this dish along with sushi but still eel is highly underrated

    Working in Japan feels like such a calming experience. Sure you gotta put a lot of effort in your job, but everyone looks so serene.
    I'm sure the customer relations are smoother than in western countries

      If you loose your temper you are considered an animal in Japan. However, when I lived there for 5 years, in the very very rare occasions people lost their temper they also went overboard . In the period when I lived there (1996-2001),salaries used to be very high compared to Europe, easily double or three times European average but you had to pay for your health insurance yourself while in Europe our healthcare system is supported by taxes and we only have to pay small fees. If you are poor, it's completely free.

    I'm checking out the restaurant's website, but Google can't seem to translate most of it. We will be in Tokyo in late May, and we would love to go. It looks amazing!

    Growing up in Ireland we used to catch and eat river eels. We'd cook them different, just cleaned and prepped then fried on a skillet with some salt and butter.

    I’m so mad, I stayed in Nihombashi in the 2nd half of our Japan trip & didn’t know this place existed down the same street as our hotel! I’m definitely going to try this out when I go back later this year!
