    It's a crazy time to be filming these Day in the Life vids. You can really see how Japan has changed. Although infinitely more difficult to coordinate filming, I have more videos to come! In the meantime, checkout my previous Day in the Life video series Playlist - paolofrom.tokyo/ditl

      Yeah, I can imagine the coordination that goes into this kind project is pretty serious. Way to go for adapting your process and making it work despite the additional complications. Semi-related question about your video-making process, Paolo...do you storyboard everything out first, before filming? Your shots seem too perfect in each scene to have ‘just happened’. Anyway, nice work. KP!

      @Bruce J. O'Hara Multiculturalism creates social mistrust and racism by default. Due to the social fragments that exist within that society. Some groups even hate each other to the core, and the only thing that's "stopping" that harboring hatred from manifesting into actual violence is through strict policing/laws or, worse live in a dictatorship. The west, in this case, has "strict" laws that tries to curtail hate-related crimes, but it results in infringing on free speech laws.

    This is the most meticulous butcher shop I have ever seen. Here in North America there are standards too but in Japan, I've noticed throught your vlogs that the cleanliness & sanitation requirements out-do us in every way. There is so much respect there for employers and employees; more appreciative in every way. Teru is an amazing butcher and runs a fantastic business there.

    • @Marc...
      @Marc... 2 роки тому +14

      I don't know much about all the cultural stuff in Japan but in terms of meticulousness, cleanliness and sanitation, these guys are on an absolutely different level, especially in regards to food. That's why adding raw eggs to food over there is... I wouldn't say widespread, cause I'm not sure, but there's definitely recipes and stuff where you do that. For the simple reason that the chain and all processes involved in obtaining said egg and then getting it to consumers is all so safe and sanitary that ultimately, the chance of contracting foodborne illnesses from stuff like raw eggs is, apparently, minimal. I'm just using the example of the egg but it's probably safe to assume it applies to the rest of the food industry.

      Well he's a luxury meat butcher. Normal people don't eat A5 wagyu for a weekday night shabu shabu. The area he serves must be a high-end residential area and those unassuming customers are actually very rich people. And from the volume he sells each day this place must be ridiculously profitable. I'm pretty sure lesser butcher shops in Japan serving regular people don't look as fancy and stylish, but maybe just as clean.

      you may think it's weird,, but if you work in an office you might be more tired than a person who's standing up, walking, and doing tons of small tasks. Sitting on your ass an not moving anything except your hands for 8 hours is honestly tiresome and not in a good way. Moving around, doing a multitude of tasks, and interacting with people tends to keep you more engaged and mentally awake. What this butcher is doing is a lot of work on top of raising a family, but I'm sure if he was a salaryman, he wouldn't have the same energy to him.

    As a butcher myself from Canada, I'm really fascinated by the different knives he uses! Daily I use up to 2-3 different knives maximum. Then, from a country to an other the techniques and ways to work are also in part differents, almost pretty similar on many things. Chopping a steak or a boneless loin stays the same... But the way take off bones of a pork loin is really different!
    Amazaing shop and skills! Good fortune from a butcher to a fellow!

      Yup, i agree 100% with i'm a butcher-caterer-charcutier (you don't have a equivalent word for that in english i think) from france and i've never seen the knife he uses for the pork loin, i daily use 2-3 knives like you, one to remove the bones, a thiner with a few inch longer use to remove the excess of skin, nerves, ... and the long one to cut steak, pieces of meat, or to do some clean cut...
      it seems that asian country tend to use other technique than us, but for the US/.../EU the work seems to be fairly the same from what i've seen, so far the chinese ones are the more interesting to me the way they uses their cleaver without getting a finger off suprise me..😂

En Europe et en Amérique, nous avons sensiblement la même manière de travailler, en Europe toute pièce est utilisée, aux USA et ici au Canada parfois certains bouchers ne connaissent pas les meilleures pièces et parfois celles-ci sont les plus petites, et elles finissent souvent en haché...
      Je suis l'un des seuls bouchers de mon équipe (7 bouchers) à savoir ce qu'est la langue de chat et certains ne connaissent pas non plus l'araignée.
      Pour mes couteaux, j'ai un "désosseur" soit une lame de 5-6 pouces un peu incurvée et un "trancheur" pour les steaks d'environ 10-11 pouces. J'utilise aussi habituellement un désosseur à lame droite pour la volaille, plus robuste et moins grave si les os de volailles font agressent la lame.

      That's what happens when a family business is taken seriously, I hope it continues as well.

      @@ameetoshdash1252 he's rich because he's constantly changing, improving his skills from what he's been taught, and building a wider network around him. If he's stayed the same as his parent and grandparent mindset he would've gone broke or his business would've gone down. That man is adapting, a true man

    He runs his business well, he has expertise (20+years experience), relationships (customers & partnerships and maybe suppliers), great management, and brand image (you can see their designed logo). Very active in running his business as well as adapting well!

    This guy looks and talks like the coolest character in any anime. Even his hair is cool. Hes the guy with an unmatched hidden power but tries to cover it up by being a butcher
