I was in Japan November 2023. During my last hour before departing back to LA, as I was making my way from Guinza to catch the train to Haneda Airport, I heard cumbia in the streets of Tokyo, followed by the smell of tacos. I cannot make this up, I ran into this man and his puesto de tacos in my last hour there! It was meant to be. Yes, the tacos were bomb, and till this day I'm shocked to have had tacos, and even more so aver hablado Español en Japon. Life is beautiful.
I went to his new brick-and-mortar shop in Harajuku the other day while I was walking around doing a bit of night shopping. You couldn't see in the windows very well because of all the smoke from the planchas, but when I open the door there were like 10-15 Mexicans and another 5-10 locals all dancing and singing around the tiny restaurant. It was absolutely surreal. They had arrachera on that night so a got a plate of those and a couple beers and ended up hanging out at the dance party for an hour. Bought a t-shirt on my way out, the food and vibes were absolutely through the roof. Yamato-san has truly created something wonderful.
In one of his previous interviews he quotes: "Le da vida a mi receta, mi receta es mi vida y mi vida es México" - Yamato I will always remember that is a beautiful Japanese experience Mexico culture and able to share such wonderful experience
I love how he loves Mexican culture so much! Mix that with Japanese culture, and it's ability to respect, hard work, and his need to break out of some of the Japanese cultural norms, makes him look so at peace and happy. What a great story!
El compa es cabrón, mi madre en paz descanse fue taquera y pago mis estudios hasta la universidad de los tacos, siempre respetare a los taqueros, es un trabajo muy, pero muy cansado, pero que hace feliz a la gente, saludos desde México
No puedo parar de ver tus videos y creeme estoy terminando de comer y nada más de verte... Carajos mi hermano me dan unas ganas indasiables de ir por unos tacos a Japón...
3:44 "Quiero ponerme en la situación más más difícil. En una crisis. Entonces realmente necesito conocer mi potencial, quiero sobrevivir... Estoy loco! Es por eso que me moví a México." XD XD Yamato hermano ya eres mexicano!
I go to the philippines all the time sine my mom was born there and I was born in Arizona so every time I go to the philippines I would make tacos (its easier over there due to spanish influence in our history) but yeah I usually miss the food that makes Arizona and vise versa.
In japan they embrace the Chicano culture and carry mexican flags and just like he said mexicans and Japanese got many similarities like how they treat and respect there families
Ver este tipo de videos, me hace pensar que vale la pena tener esperanzas de que vale la pena intentar convivir entre pueblos, entre personas, entre culturas. Si un Japonés aprendió de los Mexicanos que por medio de la amabilidad y de la Gastronomía Mexicana , como lo son los ¡¡Deliciosos y nutritivos TACOS !! , se puede llevar esa parte de la Cultura Mexicana a Japón y Él darla a conocer a los Japoneses, eso es..... ¡ maravilloso, chingoooon !!.
LOL "deliciosos y nutritivos" en primera maiz transgenico,aceites de baja calidad grandes cantidades de sal (sodio) y aparte carne de animales muchas veces enfermos o modificados geneticamente y todo servido por lo general en la calle donde abundan bacterias y claro acompañado de bebidas endulzadas LOL si claro "nutritivos" no por nada mexico ocupa los primeros lugares en obesidad y diabetes o enfermedades gastrointestinales

I love your story, thank you for sharing. I'm glad that there is no other guy correcting your Spanish in this one.

No one mentions that he can dance Sonidero better than many chilangos.
The Cumbia at the end definitely hit the Soul.. ✌🏼📻..
Much Love & Respect to my Japanese Hermanos 🇯🇵 🇲🇽
It’s not the tacos! It’s the message (philosophy) he puts in his tacos that make it so great🎉❤. Este Guey, es Raza❤🎉😊😊
Tacos will Save the World
"Quiero estar en crisis" --> "Me voy a México" 🤣 Excelente historia y gran mensaje
