ONLY in JAPAN hi sir you are doing a great job .Japan is one of the any countries for which my mind is always hungry .I want to experience it's rich culture and supreme natural beauty
He was my favorite out of the whole series. He brought tears to eyes. Love the way he considers his staff the children he never had and his customers family.
Fantastic! you can tell him amarica saw and loved it! amazing showmanship that could only come from years of honing his art! thanks for the wonderful share and always staying awesome!
I just watched the mini documentary on him and it was very well done. Deep emotions portrayed in the video and even though many hardships and sadness he still smiles and exudes happiness through his cooking. No matter how much he got literally beaten he never let that stop him from getting his dream. I love his saying, “better be a chicken head than a tail of a bull”
Just watched netflix Street food episiod 2. He is in it. What a sad childhood he has had.... made my eyes balling out tears. And iam a grown man. Shows passion and positive attitude i wish to visit this man one day and will be honoured to eat his food and shake his hand.
John, I just visited Japan for a week! One year ago, I watched all of your videos over a week and it prepared me SO MUCH for the experience I had. I saw pod hotels, toilets, ramen shops, gachapon, vending machines, an onsen, manhole covers, Hachiko, a melon farm and more. Thanks to your insights, I had a wonderful time exploring and learning. You also taught me to trust in the kindness and hospitality of Japanese people. A week before my trip, I met three Japanese ladies in Australia and ended up spending the whole day with them in a rainforest. Just a week later, they hosted me at Mount Fuji for the weekend! If you need a place to stay near Mount Fuji, I can put you in touch with them :) Thank you for all your hard work! If you have time, please consider making a video demistifying the line system around Tokyo (buying tickets, how to know when to get off, etiquette, asking for help). That would help a ton of future tourists!
"next stop" - tbh he'll be the first and probably the last stop for me lol i love japan, but i don't know if i could do anything after watching him do that in person xd
Awesome video! Very professional in production. So easy to watch unlike those obnoxious review channels who stare awkwardly into the camera whilst they eat food and drop most of it. Subbed
I remember watching this episode when it came out and when I decided to watch Street Food with my family I couldn't help but freak out when I saw Toyoji-san 😂😅 my mother gave the craziest look but I couldn't help it! To see Toyoji-san on screen made my heart fill with joy like no other. 🖤
not really... the ice water probably has some oil in there too.. coats his hands and keeps him from getting burned.. like the guy in india who sticks his hand in oil frying fish... coated hands help prevent burn.
I worked for 10 years back in late teens to my mid-twenties working for the same restaurant chain (put me through uni.) and I had to handle scolding hot racks that where submerged in oil for 4 to 8 hrs. straight. By the time I moved on to my career I could handle those racks without any gloves.
Bro, I been checking out your vids for a few weeks now and decided I had to sub finally. This video was really great, and it's helped dispel the notion in me that "all Japanese will hate you because you are not Japanese." I'm sure that exists in some parts, of course. However, it feels a lot more hospitable, and the people seem much more friendly than I've always had it painted to me. On a personal note, I've been sick for nearly 3 weeks now and it's been making me irritable and curt. This vid, well, what can I say? It just made me feel happy and good inside. Thanks for the awesome things you do, and all the effort and hard work you put into your videos and your channel. You're awesome!
Aloha! Really enjoying your channel. You have a great style of presenting Japanese culture and your topics covered lean toward the things that most people would or could do. Mahalo nui!
"SHOW THAT TO AMERICA!" Yes, that is right, that is a chef who is proud of his work and definitely wants to show us how amazing Japanese cooking can be.
Love all your excellent edited, professional videos. I just hit the bell and hope that I will get notified only for "Only in Japan" and not for the streaming videos.
This is the most gangsta grilling technique I’ve ever seen in my life! He The Godfather of grilling. Ain’t no other grill master chef harder than him! Salute to the Undisputed OG Master Grill King of All-Time!
Just Subscribed this Channel,... Good Presentation, editing, not just kind of random Vlogs and the last reason why i Subscribed, its because the subtitles.....
You're my first UA-camr I ever subbed to
Thank you Aj!
Cool! I think that for me as well!
hey, same
ONLY in JAPAN hi sir you are doing a great job .Japan is one of the any countries for which my mind is always hungry .I want to experience it's rich culture and supreme natural beauty
He took your youtube virginity...
He was my favorite out of the whole series. He brought tears to eyes. Love the way he considers his staff the children he never had and his customers family.
*"Show This To America!"* lol 😂
.
The chef has great enthusiasm, and is proud of his food. Exactly why we are tempted to try it 👍
He is a real mad lad
America taught the Japanese the art of the flame thrower. The hard way. Also how an atom is split.
Always save Sargent Roebuck
@@BridgesDontFly ah, the flammenwerfer. Some say its werfers flammen
wrr, infix proux perfx nmw, doesnt matter
"SHOW THAT TO AMERICA" lol..
Mac Tian America says, "He's smoking while cooking - well, I guess if he's using a blowtorch a little cigarette ash can't be that bad."
+Mark723 Sadly, it is common in the Philippines to smoke while cooking... (SORRY BAD ENGRISH)
Yumeng Mengyu Haha... I don’t know if you’re joking, but your comment was actually well-spoken, so don’t apologize
actually Americans showed the Japanese the art of the *flame thrower* first. Just so you know. Also how to split an atom.😉
@@BridgesDontFly yeah.. the pacific battle.. lol
I saw him first on Netflix series street food ❤ his way of living and personality is amazing ❤❤
teared up a bit in that episode.
Show that to America!
Nicholas Lau that part was hilarious 🤣😆
Dont catch you slippin up
I won’t show it to США(America).But I will show it to my glorious motherland of Россия(Russia) instead.
It is kind of advertisement? i guess? (SORRY BAD ENGRISH)
to words to ruin this video ?
Las Vegas
Fantastic! you can tell him amarica saw and loved it! amazing showmanship that could only come from years of honing his art! thanks for the wonderful share and always staying awesome!
Oh I just watched him on netflix series"Street Food" and 2 days later UA-cam just recommend this video!
Everybody's being watched mate!
I'm watching it right now😁
I just watched the mini documentary on him and it was very well done. Deep emotions portrayed in the video and even though many hardships and sadness he still smiles and exudes happiness through his cooking. No matter how much he got literally beaten he never let that stop him from getting his dream. I love his saying, “better be a chicken head than a tail of a bull”
Not gonna lie, cooking with a flame thrower is pretty badass.
This has to be one of your best videos by far, next to the man who made mochi
This was the original reason why I watch this channel. The food and exposure to the culture ! Great vid mr John
The old chef's personality is infectious even with his hard upbringing. I have so much respect for him!
Just watched netflix Street food episiod 2. He is in it. What a sad childhood he has had.... made my eyes balling out tears. And iam a grown man. Shows passion and positive attitude i wish to visit this man one day and will be honoured to eat his food and shake his hand.
"Show that to America."
Me: This guy is awesome.
I teared up on this episode for some reason. This guy alone makes me want to go there and just experience his presence.
My mans smokin a cig, grillin tuna.....what a legend lol
That man was on the Netflix show Street Food! He is such a sweetheart!
Visiting Japan is on my bucket list. The trip may be the bucket itself with all the locales that John makes me want to go to!
love these outdoor-street type food vendors, they usually have a lot of personality, Bravo Toyoji-san
Whoa! That chef is a complete badass to stick his hand into the path of the flamethrower all while smoking a ciggie. Props!
Cried a lot with his Life Story. Best Street Food Episode on Netflix 🥺
The chef is not working at all, he's having fun!
I love how enthusiastic the guy is about his craft. "Show that to America!" Such a spirited individual.
Netflix new series: Street Food just shown this restaurant while you did it year ahead of them. :)
I absolutely fell in love with Toyo watching him on the Netflix Street Food show. He seems like such a genuine character.

"next stop" - tbh he'll be the first and probably the last stop for me lol i love japan, but i don't know if i could do anything after watching him do that in person xd
sesshomaru68 yay I’m from Kansas too, surprised to see someone else from Kansas on a channel I watch.
sesshomaru68. I'm also from Kansas, and I love that guy, LOL!
Awesome video! Very professional in production. So easy to watch unlike those obnoxious review channels who stare awkwardly into the camera whilst they eat food and drop most of it.
Subbed
Izakaya Toyo is also on Netflix's " STREET FOOD" you should hear his story it is AMAZING

I've been waiting for this video to come. Greetings from Mexico 🖤🇲🇽
Thank you for the nice video of the flamethrower stall chef from Osaka👍
This guy's energy is 🔥 💯
I swear these videos are some of the best on UA-cam. You always cover some interesting topics and areas. Thank you sir.
The Netflix show called street food featured him and it was great! What a great man!!!
The dude is so BOSS. I love the charisma and 美味しそう！！！！
The old guy reminds me of an anime character
Bezerk Yea, he’s like those strong old guys in shounen anime.
Like master roshi
I love your enthusiasm and hard work. Spreading happiness.
Old dude is smoking a cigarette while he's torching the tuna!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a badass, lol
you'd be surprised at the stuff line cooks in regular kitchens do when it comes to smoking and cooking
SAVAGE
I bet he lights his cigarettes with the flamethrower
it's ok totaly safe no germs, dude
I remember watching this episode when it came out and when I decided to watch Street Food with my family I couldn't help but freak out when I saw Toyoji-san 😂😅 my mother gave the craziest look but I couldn't help it! To see Toyoji-san on screen made my heart fill with joy like no other. 🖤
He must have heat proof hands 🤤 mesmerising to watch.
Or he has lost most of the feeling in them.
Jon M. Yeah for sure!
Leidenfrost effect helps keep his hands from feeling the burn since he keeps dipping his hands in ice water over and over.
not really... the ice water probably has some oil in there too.. coats his hands and keeps him from getting burned.. like the guy in india who sticks his hand in oil frying fish... coated hands help prevent burn.

Can’t wait for the next episode looks great
Wow most gangsta chef cigarette in mouth in all! Love it!

Now that's hot food indeed! I'll definitely want to try this place on my upcoming trip, thanks for the tip!
I know we have food preparation regulations for our safety in the US, but it really stifles the creativity that can make some cookies stuff like this.
Wow what an absolute legend
Who needs a stove when you have the power of suns and stars! Love this guy.
I added the Izakaya to my bookmarks because I will be in Osaka in 10 days! Arrigato
how was it :D
Aloha! Really enjoying your channel. You have a great style of presenting Japanese culture and your topics covered lean toward the things that most people would or could do. Mahalo nui!
Comeback after watching him on Netflix
this is the reason why i love your channel
Great episode! Love that chef
"SHOW THAT TO AMERICA!" Yes, that is right, that is a chef who is proud of his work and definitely wants to show us how amazing Japanese cooking can be.
Have been watching for years. Very informative. Hope to visit one day. Keep up the good work!
This channel is too good, a great video after another.
"Show that to America"
Damn. America got flamed
That flamethrower was SERIOUS! That food looks so good and the fact that it is so fresh makes it even more appealing
Grilling meat with a flamethrower with a cigarette in his mouth... What a badass man!
That Chef it’s just Amazing!
The old dud who grilled with a flamethrower and his bare hands is an absolute mad lad
Hey John! That is awesome video you got there. Love it.. Thanks
this guy is a god man omg!
Awesome. Love the attitude and the smile! A true artist!
Just came from netflix, this man is an amazing person
Can definitely tell how passionate the chef is! Awesome!
ジョンさん夜更かしすぎでしょね
超良い動画だた。お疲れさまでした。
Nieanrakluz Zion. John what this guy say???
This guy says ''Well done John !''
And he also tells John to sleep because he didn't sleep to make this video.
Subscribed after seeing you on The Food Ranger! This episode was so cool with the flame thrower!! Woah!!
Look out ! Fire 🔥 chef master
It is amazing how he cooks
Travel With Mansoureh I want to try this but I’m not the master and ! I don’t smoke lol
This gentleman's enthusiasm is amazing. That food looks really tasty.
Love this channel
ive been missing these videos hope you can continue to make these more regular. also congrats on the marriage
Respect from Malaysia
Love all your excellent edited, professional videos. I just hit the bell and hope that I will get notified only for "Only in Japan" and not for the streaming videos.
sick music choice during flamethrowering
This is the most gangsta grilling technique I’ve ever seen in my life! He The Godfather of grilling. Ain’t no other grill master chef harder than him! Salute to the Undisputed OG Master Grill King of All-Time!
If you get the chance he’s in this Netflix show about street food watch it if you get the chance it’s actually quiet deep!
This chef is a complete and total badass! You can tell he loves cooking.
“Show that to America” 4:06 lol. Gotta go here if I ever get the chance to go to Japan!
Just Subscribed this Channel,... Good Presentation, editing, not just kind of random Vlogs and the last reason why i Subscribed, its because the subtitles.....
Awesome video! I'll definitely check out this place.
Can't wait for your new okonomiyaki video. Thanks John!
That guy is baaad. He's real hardcore. My respect
I am subbed to almost 300+ channels and I have only 7 channels that I have clicked the notification bell, yours is one of them
SWeet video!! Thank you!!
Delightful channel.. That food seemed so intensely fresh. Japan is THE place to be hands down. My nexto trippu haha cheers from France
Amazing video john. I love to hear about Japan.
Best videos from the best nation ever, I almost feel guilty for how much I have enjoyed watching these all night. ❤️💓💕💖❤️💓💖💕😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
This guy is the Chuck Norris of Osaka! AWESOME story :-)
you're the best UA-camr. Keep moving forward !
i just bought a torch in the 8 minutes it took to watch this vid. and holy cow those plates of uni ikura and tuna....
😱 that’s lit 🔥 awesome video John ❤️
$22.50 for that?!? In America that would easily be around $60 and likely taste half as good.
And here i'm sitting and thought $22.50 is pretty high for such little food >_>
Yeah, even a sundae in the states can cost upward to a 1000$ o 3o
For that quality foor, I'd even pay him $25, just look at that eel! give me a big bowl of rice with it and I'm good to go.
Ikura is pretty exensive though. The price of the maguro rolls was really cheap. Though that's the usual price in Japan.
Remember, no tips required in Japan (except if you generously insist at bars and ryokan)! In the US, you are obligated to pay gratuity from 15-20%.
Your videos and your live streams are so awesome, I love your channel, keep it up with the good work.
