Day in the Life of a Japanese Butcher Shop Owner

- A Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu Butcher Shop Owner in Tokyo. This Japanese Butcher living in Tokyo Japan offers premium A5 Japanese wagyu beef, Japanese pork, Japanese chicken and various curated meats. This is an average day living in Tokyo as well as average day working in tokyo as a meat butcher. You'll get a glimpse into Japan work culture for this field. Teru, 44 years old, runs a local Japanese meat butcher shop in Tokyo, Yanagiya, which has been in his family for 73 years. It’s named after his family, Yanagi. Yanagiya only sells A5 Sendai Gyu Beef, which is famous for having a strict grading criteria for it’s meat, as only 30 % of the cows in Miyagi prefecture are good enough to be certified with premium A5 medal. All Japanese beef is considered wagyu beef, but not all Wagyu beef is A5 grade. A5 wagyu beef is the highest quality of meat you can get in Japan based on it’s beef grading system. Basically, you have Yield Grade and a Quality Grade, hence A AND 5. The Yield Grade, is the amount of meat you can get from the cow, and is graded either A, B or C, A being the highest mark. While the Quality grade, depends on 4 categories, marbling, color & brightness, firmness and texture, and finally color, luster and quality of fat. Each is graded from 1 being poor all the way to 5 excellent. In order to achieve an overall 5 grade, the meat must receive a 5 in every category. So Receiving all 5’s but 1 4 in a category, won’t cut and it’d result in an overall grade of 4. If you look closely at the Wagyu beef, you can see what the Japanese call Sashi, or in English the marbling or thin stips of fat in the beef. Without this excellent marbling, the meat wouldn’t be considered grade 5 quality.

Thanks for uploading another day in a life Paolo
Great video :)
Greating from Hungary :)
Another great video, but I kinda hate you now because all the meat just looks so good and now I'm hungry again🙃
I love your smile!
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!
Butcher in japan : looking stylish and fashionable
Meanwhile butcher in my country looks like a serial killer with bloodstain everywhere
true lol hahaha
Lol
Butcher in France looks fancy as well
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Butchers I've seen in America: gigantic pot belly, apron completely drenched in blood
Butchers in Japan: Johnny Depp
Lmaoo
the best comment
OMG THIS IS TOO FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣
hahhaahah
😂😂😂
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.
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.
@@Marc... In europe, it’s very very common to eat raw eggs
It's called pride.
the shop is clean because the owner is a clean man,yeah the standarts too but its thye culture too
to be fair, coming from a Brit who visited NYC, American standards are pretty low. Can't comment for anywhere outside NYC, though
This guy is an absolute boss. Wakes up. Has a dog. Sleeps on couch. Wakes up again to wife making sandwich and fresh espresso. Drives a toyota truck in Japan. Is a butcher. absolute legend
so?
@@raphaelverde4571 so what
Yes, wife cooks for him = absolute boss.
White guy alert
lol I was thinking the same thing! he's awesome
@@daria5137 Just know people who are older can appreciate how simple yet perfect this mans life is. If you cant understand that you need more experience.
This is probably the cleanest butcher shop I've ever seen in my entire life. In my country, it looks like a murder scene
it is japan. what do you expect
agreed， this is the only exception on the planet.
I lived in NZ for about 10 years and the butcher shops over there are SUPER SUPER clean probs more clean than these shops
Me to
This is exactly what i really wanted to say😉
This guys life is literally perfect. Runs his family’s generational business. Nice house. Happy family, and is a 44 year old that looks 28.
And eats like the most expensive meat in the world whenever he likes.
I was about to comment that. Even though the video wouldn't include negative things about his life, this is pretty much as good as it gets
And he has a big ass truck when so few people there even drive.
Wait hes 44!
butcher is hard work for sure. he spends tons of energy everyday, almost have no time to stop moving. i cant imagine how tired he is.
Paolo I’m a truck driver and every little free time i get i watch your video’s you are amazing your voice brings peace and calmness. And you are so respectful and always with a smile please don’t stop making videos because you give people hope and happiness.
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, it has such a chill vibe.
Me too! Always watching this and ramen chef video while eating.
I watching this right now and it’s like my 3rd time in a row. I always come back to this video too every once in a while 😂
He wakes up and then goes back to sleep a few minutes later. This one is so relatable.
Yes
its the start of arthritis
@@rembrandtshadows I already have arthritis I can do whatever the fuck I want
@@rembrandtshadows what s this ?
Did that this morning haha
This dude is 45 years old, he doesn't look a day over 30
Right?! He looks like a hot Asian Johnny depp 😆
Because he eats the best quality meat
@@tadzbahal4841 his wife too cuz damn he fine 😏😂
@@StrawberryNinjaNibbles hahah yeah, their love looks nice
Literally was seeing was I the only one who thought that
One of my favorites of the series. The butcher seems like a nice guy who really cares for his staff and customers.
Teru looks like the type of person who is the most chill, down to earth person you can ever meet.
This dude is ballin. Sick apartment, sick truck, sick family, looks like 30. Meat doing well for him.
ua-cam.com/video/sMG1nlQi5bg/v-deo.html ,.,.
Yeah he's killing it pretty hard.
"sick family" don't know what did I chuckle when I read that
Sick family? Like with covid or a common flu?
Aw, man. That's sad, everyone is sick?
Are we going to ignore the fact Teru is above 40. He looks great.
Asian blood it is!
Omgsh wow I thought the guy was only in his twenties! But yeah it definitely is the Japanese genetics because I’m in my twenties and am
25% Japanese and get carded for alcohol 100% of the time and told that I look like a highschooler (And sometimes the shopkeepers Will even accuse me of having a fake ID because they don’t believe how old I am!) but also all of my family on the Japanese side all seem to never age. People think my aunt & mother are my sisters and before my grandmama passed away (rip 😢 miss my oba..) people thought she was our mother.
Good meat nourishes in an unbelievable way. He gets the best meat in the planet, no wonder he looks and surely feels great.
Nahh that can’t always be true maybe partially cus I eat SO horribly and am super skinny no matter how much horrible crap I eat and my whole family is the same way.
@@catm590 You're most likely "skinny fat". high fat content but even lower muscles and water content. It's the most unhealthy body types there is.
DID ANYONE NOTICE THIS IS THE SAME BUTCHER SHOP FROM THE “Day in the life of a Japanese housewife”
Me too!
This is probably the most cleanest, almost bloodless, and coolest meatshop I've ever seen.
A meatshop with a vibe of Starbucks level 👌
Hes the most chic and stylish butcher I have ever seen. He looks like he own a fashion store in Shinjuku
45yo looking 35 holy cow
@@BasedTitanG lol
@@BasedTitanG yeah wtf
well he is johny depp
@@BasedTitanG no but he actually looks 25-
The kid telling him which meat they need is more confident than me.
YES HAHA
But sound just as dead inside as me
And I'm loving the combination
@Omni KingE bbhh
Yeah, same. I love that their parent (seems to be their parent?) is right there but is just encouraging good, polite and confident behaviours like that. Working in retail myself it is super refreshing when a really nice kid like that comes in and we can communicate really well. I can tell they've had a good upbringing. Wish my parents had done that lol.
15:02 how his dog got so happy to see him 🥺❤️
As an American butcher, i am alway's impressed with the sanitary standard's in japan. Such a clean shop, and great quality cut's!
I like how they respect his wife and kids privacy.
Agreed, in so many of these bite-size documentaries, they can be so invasive, they’ll be like “what are you doing!?!? 🤪” and then zoom in on the wife in the shower and I’m bruh chill out lmao

This man is living the dream. Has a nice ass house, a fantastic car, a nice family, he’s the owner of a butcher shop and looks 30 years old when he’s 45.
This is the upside of having a family business! The previous generations suffered the start up costs, which are usually so high that the first 5 years of business you dont make any profit!
I don't know if you noticed that he works like 90% of his day. He loves it though, I do envy him.
Wtf happened to the comments thread?
@@bletrick3352 Bahahhahah, the religious comment which was followed by someone cursing them, it doesn't get much funnier than that
@@tinajsews2835 the bible is only good for emergency rolling papers
This was honestly such a pleasure to watch. It just leaves me with a happy feeling because we get to learn more about his profession and he just seems like a great guy :) thank u for making these videos Paolo, they always make my day
Honestly I’ve watched like 10 of these by now and every time I’m impressed by the organization of the Japanese and how safe and efficient everything is.
my first impression of him: he looks like an artist
Too rich for an artist, lol.
Bill the Butcher would totally agree
he puts the ART in ARTisnal
his paint is the meat and the canvas is the store
Cutting meat is an art, not as easy as many think
My dad owned a butchers for 30 years before he passed away at age 64 last year :( he would have loved this video. Thanks for making it Paolo.
sorry for your loss man :(
Daniel is here.......
@@brabbitster823 oh look its my loving fans
Lol didn't expect to see u here
good for you and great for him.
Japan is the place to be, just look at how they live and communicate with eachother with such respect. I love japan
Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one😊
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
This video got me hooked, and now I’m determined to become a billionaire in just two years! 💪💰
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
I've heard alot about crypto currency investments and how effective it can grow your income! Any recommendations on a guide?
Catherine S. Woods is an amazing tutor for crypto. Highly recommended! She’s been my Tutor and Mentor for past solid 8years!
An established business, well-liked and connected to his community, and having ample time to spend with his family? I'm immensely jealous.
He's livin the dream
Dream life
he works 12 hours a day though, not ample time
@@samjam6989 compare that to souless big tech ceos here in America that probably works less than 5 hours while being hated by their employees this is better
he works 14 hrs a day though, super tiring and hard working
This is not a typical butcher. He's very rich, having a house with that much space, having a car, having a dog are all signs of wealth in Tokyo. That's a very high end butchers shop he has. He works hard and smart, more power to him.
That's what happens when a family business is taken seriously, I hope it continues as well.
HE DRIVES A TRUCK in Tokyo like thats not common like it is in the US, he's gone a long way to where he is now
It's the 3rd generation so it's ovios he is rich
@@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
@@FATDADDYSACK ya man, totally agree just didnt wanted to write all that.
This is my favourite day in a life video ever! Idk why but i could rewatch this 100 times and still be extremely intrigued and happy. What an amazing video
Imagine going to a daycare that provides A5 beef.
Can’t relate
So distant from my country, where several daycare facilities (run by the government) were provided with sick donkey meat and after "investigating" there was nobody accountable for
@@nicolasherreragonzalez8037 that's terrible
@@defencebangladesh4068 it is, but in my country if u ask for justice then you are labeled as a commie or as a rebel
did the a5 goes to all the children at daycare?

so true
He does look good for his age. God Bless him!
I have a son 22 hope he lives a happy healthy life he is my pride and joy! I'm 62 with serious heart disease my brother died at 58.
God bless you, you will be fine;)
@@PhilR09 are you making this up? your reply doesn't sound like anything written by a 60 year old grandpa
I can’t believe he’s 44 years old!
He looks way younger.
Take a long hard look.
That's the face of a man that somehow lives in a country known for having an unhealthy obsession with work, yet looks more healthier than many in the West end up doing.
@@Zeithri I mean...He worked hard and walk everyday to deliver meats, so of course he would be healthier than most of people who only sitting in a chair working for 8 hours. Not to mention that a normal Japanese usually walk to work and home everyday too. That's why most Japanese look thin and fit
Ever heard of Hirohiko Araki?
Exactly.
Go vegan, they say! Meat is the most healthy food in the world!
@@sekaihunter9378 While they look fit from a distance most Japanese people suffer from sleep deprivation.
So glad to found this channel that i even decided to write about my feelings in comment section. Thanks for sharing videos about Japanese folk.
Amazing episode. Thank you for still doing these they are amazing Paolo!
He’s the same butcher from “day in the life of Japanese housewife”. Lmao Paolo just knows everyone in Japan !!
really? i didn't even notice. nice
Yes, he is. Maybe they're all people living in the Paolo's neighborhood
I have been watching his videos, & genuinely being entertained. & yeah, its the same butcher shop from the japanese housewife video."
LMAOOOOO
If Paolo lives in the same area as this guy as well as all the other people he's interviewed, then that must mean he's pretty well off.
Wow, a boss that actually does the dirty work
I think because its not an easy job to do. It needs some profession
The employers/owners are usually hands-on for most small-to-medium scale Asian businesses, especially those with a reputation such as this. Also, the Japanese are meticulous when it comes to generational businesses as it's all about the family history/honor. And that's how their businesses survive for generations.
thats literally true for every single small business in the world
Lead by example.
i thought bosses are little bit like a slacker but not that one
love these videos, so calm and beautiful, have always admired the Japanese for their work ethic, their food & culture, would love to visit Tokyo some day
The amount of work this guy does every day, combined with his seemingly effortless level of chill is something I *aspire* to. Awesome video.
He’s 45 but he looks like he’s in his mid 30s.
Most people of Asian descent look younger than their true age.
Ur late bruh....we've been waiting
I've been waiting you for two weeks,bro.
Hirohiko Araki is a great example. He’s 60 but he looks almost as young as this guy, except without facial hair
dude i was looking for this comment
I am 26 I look way uglier
As a butcher in Canada, I WISH I could have a cute lil shop like this, walking to the neighbours to do deliveries and whatnot. This is a beautiful shop and looks very fulfilling!
What prevent that from happening? The weather?
Cool, where do you work?
try to achieve it may this be inspiration. This videos are inspiring to me i will tell you that

The butcher has a lot of strong relations with people around him, something apparently so simple is becoming more and more rare everyday for young people
Each video is fascinating. Like getting to know someone AND taking a vacation from my own daily routine.
Wonderful, and thank you very much.
His connection with his community, supplying local shops, teaming with local shops, buying from local shops, plus the online sales all go to building a very strong base. All this on top of a historic family owned store.
if every single workplace and company was like this, we would have more happier people
You will *NEVER* see this in a western multicultural nation.
@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.
These videos are great, Japanese are usually quiet and reserved but you show us in great detail the life of a person besides their career. Great job.
I have always been fascinated by the knife skills of butchers and professional chefs. Seeing them work their craft in videos is sort of an ASMR for me.
It's the same meat shop from the Day in the Life of a Japanese Housewife in Tokyo

The Japanese are seriously hard working. The amount of details they pay attention in work alone is incredible. Polite, studious, efficient, meticulous.
That's why they're Tbey live a longer life than most...
They do have disciprin over there but I think mainly it's because he cares. It's his own shop. Fuck sake if I had my own shop no matter what then i would always give it 100%

Is no one going to talk about the fact that he only threw away one garbage bag? Here in the states, trash from food, grocery, and restaurants easily throw out 10+ bags. Because of the price to throw trash way, Tokyo citizens are more inclined to limit their trash, thats actually really cool to me
I think because they must pay for the trash they throw? So they must learn how to making their businesses produce less waste I think
Except the fact that he stored the garbage in the refrigerator.
chopin4525 do you want him to leave raw meat remnants in the sun?
Also it's clearly a very exclusive shop selling high cost meats. So they probably don't get much more meat than what they know they'll sell.
Did you not notice the crazy amount of plastic used in packaging and transporting the meat aswell? It's great that they throw away less, but they're also giving a lot of plastic waste that will be thrown away by customers.
Your day in the life is great. I watched the knife making, the wagu farmer and then this. Perfect trio of videos!
I've actually worked at butcher shop here in Sweden and the cleaning process was the same
But everything else here is just on another level 🔥
It's so surprising to me that only 5% people living in Tokyo own a car, but makes sense since their public transport is amazing.
Similar to Seoul, subway gets you everywhere
Sign of a rich country. Even rich people ride the public transpo because its so effective. Well, its Japan so hehe..
meanwhile in my country(India), both the public and the private transport suck. You are extremely lucky if you get on a clean train or a bus here and a road without traffic here is a dream that will never come true. They somehow manage to make it a four lane road even if the road is a two lane road for gods sake.
Yeah their public transport is effective but REALLY crowded.
Seoul, where I'm from has better transport system.
Fun Fact: This is the butcher shop that they visit in the day in the life of a japanese housewife episode
Yep noticed it too lmao😂😂
@@drannelchannel8065 same :)
Yup, that's true lol
noticed it too haha
It's all CONNECTED
Love to see the standards of cleanliness, service, and quality in the product he is selling.
You get so close to these people it's like you're best friends with everyone I love it
Dudes living the life man. He has a big ol truck IN JAPAN, wife, kids, a cool ass job _and_ he gets home and is done with work by 7:45!
I have never been more jealous of a man in my life.
@@jeanclaudejunior Not particularly, no.
Are you being sarcastic? 7.45 is pretty damn late especially as he starts his day around 7 am!
@@kali6651 Why? This isn't a scam. It's just a representation of the Country of Japan. There's Wagyu, Craft beer, Japanese temples, Shrines, Ryokans and anime stuff. I've been there and it's so cool. I've been to Tokyo, Takayama, Kanazawa, Osaka, Koya-san and Ancient Capital Kyoto
@@jeanclaudejunior I just think it's pretty cringe and disingenuous to self promote your video on somebody else's channel, is all.
@@DG1965 thank you, for defending me.
Japanese Butcher is the most random and must see video in this channel.
Nah, we all wanna see all his day of life videos
Nah thats not even near the most watched video
It is foreshadowing from an earlier video Japanese Wife
Thank you a lot for this video. This is very interesting and informative. Keep posting like those amazing videos, this is awesome.
I absolutely love that my son is a butcher at a small, local meat store. He brings home the best proteins I have ever eaten. 100% approve of his current career choice. We don't get A5 Wagyu, but the grass fed prime around here is darn good eating.
He seems like a cool dad. Still has style at his age ...
“At his age”?? The man is 44
I’m in my 40’s and have style. I’m offended by this comment 😩
he isn't that old...
homeboy is literally 44 in this video, how is that remotely old.
You all exaggerate, he is 44 not 74 😭he is not old.
I love how their life looks so calming
@pro capitalism so their lives are full of stress and anxiety
@@DripVanWinkle999 yes
@@kamii7408 agree ...
This guy has established a great life.. but don't forget there are always the opposite side
It’s just paulos amazing vids
I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.
i love this video..it makes me happy how clean, nice, comforting this is.
Finally a Japanese person who isn't a morning person 😁😁
Says, Not a morning person but still goes to work at 7:15 am
Why this comment is so funny 😂
His Butcher Shop is more clean than Hospital in our country.
Same
Where do u stay
Same, I live in the province here in the Philippines. Public hospitals here are so filthy.
Same btw r u romanian
I don't think its necessary to ask which country because I'm pretty sure it's cleaner then EVERYONES hospitals🤣
So cute that she is making breakfast but he made her coffee as well, very cute.
I'd love to move to Japan and do videos like these where you can show, share, and appreciate the Japanese Culture, History, and the hard working citizens behind each job! Love these videos, keep them coming! :)
Wish the butchers in my country up their standard of hygiene and take pride in what they do like Teru does. Interesting video.
he aint a butcher, just a meat shop vendor.
Butchers in your country wish they had better customers...xD
@@PowerMindset3 so he is not a butcher ? then what is it called when you cut the meat from the bone and preper all the cuts of meat ? mhmmm
@@bonex1205 he is the meat cutter totally different from a butcher LOL
Where are u from just to avoid any mean in that country lol
As a fellow butcher, fantastic showmanship and care here. As well as cleanliness and efficiency practices. Teru is a passionate young man and I would be greatly honored to one day visit and maybe share a cutting table with him.
He looks so young but damn he’s in his mid 40’s
This is the wholesomeness the internet needs
I agree as well. I wouldn't mind having some butcher experience with him to hone my skills as well as learn new things from him. Respect to him and the work he does.
@@caremo8781 could easy go as 30
Your videos are so relaxing to watch mate. Keep up the great stuff 🤙🏾
This butcher is so clean, and have fresh meats. Great job! documenting his daily life.
how a butcher looks like
Expectation: Poor/middle class
Reality: *RICH AND HANDSOME GUY*
He’s the owner + it’s Japan
@@koolkille3 + hes a third-generation owner. He inherited the shop from a parent who'd probably already paid of any debt.
what he makes is almost certainly going towards anything other than paying off the debt of owning a store.
and it looks like he only buys and sells premium Meat. You have to pay a bit more, it´s worth it, not on a day to day bases of course except u can afford it, but to treat youself and your loved ones.
This is Japan bro
@@yesor3973 that makes sense
my guy is a running a high end butcher thats been in the family, thats the dream.
@@chiasmata8625 you wouldn’t understand, there is a lot of pride of carrying generational norms. Western culture has no understanding of this.
@@Rsmvbizz i think that every form of culture shows at least respect to a family buisness
@@obamaprism1277 this may be anecdotal, but eastern cultures weigh heavily on family and pride. You don’t see parents being thrown into retirement homes and teenagers kicked out the house at 18 forcing them to fend for themselves. That builds lifelong resentment to parents. From my experience (growing up overseas and in America) I saw the negative effects that this brought upon, on many families and you can just see the dynamics of a nuclear family. But that’s all weighed on how the children are brought up, I think we are both correct to an extent.
@@Rsmvbizz Western culture? Uh no. You do understand there are family businesses everywhere? Just because you had certain experiences, doesn't mean you can talk for everybody.
Western culture is McDonald’s and the Iraq war. I’ll take this everyday of the week.
I love the cleanliness and how neatly he packages meats which are all fresh !
Another great video from the best smile on the Tube! Thanks Paolo!!!
Everyone loves his shop but as a former chef I'm appreciative of his knife skills and sharpness of his food knowledge
So he's for real
Ty for insight bro good post

I loved how he took the bones out that meat!
Why does Japan make every profession look so nice to do?
intense pride in what they do, no matter how insignificant it is to others.
Because these videos are selective. Ordinary office work in Japan is as stressful as everywhere else.
Everything is so nice and everyone is so happy that they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
@@laisf.fernandes9890 they are #14 in the world. Not the lowest but not even in top 10. Stop siting old stats which make you sound like a racist hater. worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/suicide-rate-by-country
Old my ass...many actual documentaries made by Japanese, and government studies confirming they are some of the unhappiest people on earth. #14 in the world seams bad for a place so “advanced” socially.
These are facts...stating facts won’t ever be racist. You don’t have to like it, you can go back to your Hellokit shit now.
I just love how together Japan is
Thank you Teru and Paolo! This was interesting and I enjoyed the video!
“I started to be a butcher when I was 18 so it has been 27 years”
Me: wtf he looks like a 25 years old man
Lol I thought he said he was 27 and I totally believed it
