    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!

      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.

    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.

      @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.

      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.

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!

      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..😂

    I didn't really think about it till now, but what Teru said about his sales during the pandemic was actually quite true. Since more people couldn't go out and opted to cook at home, his business really got a lot more custom than usual, so in actual his busines thrived during the pandemic, which is very lucky. Also butcher shops are incredible if you want good quality meat, and considering he sells Wagyu beef his business is top tier in my eyes.
