Watching these videos makes the job feel so zen that I'd wanna start your own shop. But then I imagine watching this video a second time... and a third time...many times, for 8 hours every day for the next couple of years. Which brings me back to reality and to what massive respect these chefs deserve for consistently working hard to make their customers happy.
I always wonder what it would be like for these lifelong chefs once they serve their last order. Think how much emotional weight would be behind seeing your last customer ever leave your shop.
I thought i was going to come here and learn how to make some " addictive fried rice " but i didn't learn how. Yet I still found myself watching the entire 43+ minutes of these guys/ladies work in their kitchen. Great work, and it all looked delicious.
@@jamesgarner2103it's a mis conception that oily food makes you fat. They eat smaller portions and don't eat as often. That way your body burns the fat.
This is a modestly small, local restaurant - but the work-rate is truly astonishing. Each and every dish cooked to order, nothing heated up or microwaved. Everyone multi-tasking and the entire operation running like a perfectly-tuned machine. Very impressive.
A huge delicious dish for $5... a bento for $3... this is unbelievable for me living in California. I couldn't imagine getting a lunch for less than $12 at a restaurant. Amazing, hard work.
Nope, me too... I will buy that shiny seasoned wok from him, if he sells it... lol He could start using the new seasoned wok again... keep cooking and it will has the natural non-stick shiny wok again...
Man, I started this video thinking I'd check it out for five minutes, and here I am forty-three minutes later thoroughly impressed with how smoothly that kitchen ran and that man's ladle skills you can tell that is his weapon of choice in the kitchen.
My son and I just came back from Tokyo and I miss it beyond words. Watching this video really made me feel so close to everything. This is exactly how I remember the restaurants ( the really awesome ones!) Please keep posting more videos!
Everything looks SO good! And the prices are amazing. The same dishes here in the US would cost 2-3 times as much, and wouldn't be anywhere near as delicious.
Love these kind of behind the scenes videos. Everything looks so good and they make it look so effortless. In Japan, there are so many of these seemingly nothing looking looking places from the outside but so good if you go in and try it. And while the other dishes are more normally priced it's only 500 yen for the daily special lunch bento box if I'm reading that correctly. That is only approximately $5!
That's because Japan has the luxury of not being subjected to the O'Biden Economy. (which is 300% in a Recession despite the Obama era number-fudgery returning to gloss up the figures so it's "technically" not one, even though by every other metric it's damned near a Depression.) Don't take my word for it: Do a casual scan of Zagat's or any of the menu cataloguers for local Chinese places since early 2022; prices for even mediocre restaurant fried rice are twice as high as the Trump era, and actually decent quality restaurant prices over three times. Remember: Support your local businesses, and never vote anyone funded by multinational bankers, lest you too get to watch the former get destroyed by the latter and your nation's wealth drained into the pockets of heartless, souless corporate sociopaths and their army of useless middle manager bureaucrats.
@@atmosdwagon4656 you just live in a non immigrant neighborhood, i get local chinese a lot like this for like 8 a plate, 4 if its just fried rice you want
@@TEAMSTARBLOCKBlueslime Bruh, I literally work within walking distance of Chicago's Chinatown. Granted Chicago prices are always big-city gouge-tastic, but even well outside of city limits, that they're still way higher than 5 bucks.
A well-orchestrated ballet of food preparation and service was very well done. I am surprised at the amount of egg that goes into the dishes. It would be wonderful to taste compared to the food we get in the USA.
I have incredible respect for people who actually work in restaurants. For so many working behind the scenes, its a thankless job. I'm a big supporter of restaurant unions and a high minimum wage for service workers in my country.
子供のころ、住んでた たまに食ってたから懐かしい 世界中の腹ぺこ侍からのコメントがいっぱい I lived there when I was a kid. I used to eat there sometimes, so I miss it. Lots of comments from hungry samurai all over the world!
Hearing about his culinary education itself is impressive, no one just cooks for the Imperial Family. Would love to visit and eat at their restaurant. I hope a second generation comes in to learn and takes over. So much experience and good food has been lost to the younger generations not wanting to learn to cook but use 'Convene' store food.
There really is an art to cooking. Everyone is not so talented. I grew up in the kitchen with my Mom and Grandmother.... best experience for a beginning cook. Now I am an old lady passing it down to my son.
I like the Asian philosophy of meat being the ac-compliment to Rice and Vegetables, instead of the other way around in the west. Also love that eggs are a staple in everything. Especially love them used as "wraps".
i just wanna watch and learn for hours .. it looks so good i wish the western world had respect for things like this .. very comfortable and looks like the chef is a master
It comes down to heat distribution. If you don't have a restaurant-style wok burner like his then you're unlikely to cook the rice fast enough so you end up making it soggy cus the moisture can't escape. Skill plays a part of course but this is impossible without his setup.
I love chef Nakamura. Him and Michiba are incredible. Morimoto is on another level, bringing fusion food to the international spotlight and challenging the foundation of Japanese cuisine. I love the other two for their strong sense of tradition and willingness to stretch the bounds every once in a while.
I went here when i was in Japan for a Kickboxing tournament! I Ended up getting 2 beef bowls and 3 orders of dumplings! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved the upstairs because after spending 8 hours in a gym working your legs and kicking a bag? the best thing ever was sitting down and eating. And then finding out that you ate too much the hard way because it was difficult to get up...
I got incedibly hungry watching this video from start to finish. Amazing skills and love for food and your customers. Such a great family atmosphere with food for the soul. Drank an entire pot of coffee watching this 🤣😂
@@urwrldluv Thats your comment? This man has built a business from nothing but skill and a desire to feed people at a reasonable price and your comment is "It's just rice!?" The amount of labor and time that goes into what he creates and serves deserves respect. Why would you sum up what this man is doing into 3 words? The people around you must hate the toxic options you spew. Nothing you do in this life will ever make anyone say, WOW. As im sure you are used to, they will just shake their heads. Try being less of an asshole for no reason.
25:28 I am fascinated by these easy moves in which The General stacks the three pieces on top of each other in the ladle and then drops them in the bowl.
Aaaaand mark another place in Japan for me to visit. My entire trip is literally just going to be about food, like all of my travels. It's the most important aspect of travel in my opinion.
I love food from different cultures and making it myself. I'm more uncomfortable in closed in public space I can't go to too many places or I burn out and need to be in solitude in nature. There are some absolute hidden gems you can find though, some unassuming place is just making the best food in the world and I love when it happens.
Omg, I'm sitting here in Texas and I would love so much to go eat his amazing fried rice, it looks so delicious!!😋 All of them work so hard and the love of his business shines through. Can you deliver to Texas?!! Lol 😂

From cooking on a chinese style wok it's interesting to here the hard thuds of how thick the pans are. Same pre heat and moving technique but we move much faster with high heat because it would burn on full flame. Definitely want to cook on a wok like this one day

Having a whole world watching your craft is something else. Thank you
The entire team's coordination is incredible; such a well-oiled machine. I would love to eat here!
notice how skinny everyone there is. that's because they dont eat that fried food. i dont think they at anything made there.
@@jamesgarner2103 They're skinny because they work very long and hard hours.
Very, very, very well oiled 👀
@@jamesgarner2103it's a mis conception that oily food makes you fat. They eat smaller portions and don't eat as often. That way your body burns the fat.

In a word, "WOW". Both this iron chef and the younger chef are nothing less than amazing.
Love the old timer coming in for a beer, good food, and a relaxing read of the paper at 11am. Goals
Honestly
his wife probably wont let him have it at home lol

Chef Mike resides in every home of America's 'heat and eat' culture.
A huge delicious dish for $5... a bento for $3... this is unbelievable for me living in California. I couldn't imagine getting a lunch for less than $12 at a restaurant. Amazing, hard work.
Same. I'm in southern California and on average it's $12 at least no matter where you go. Often $15.
If I lived near there, I wouldn’t even have a kitchen. Their famous dish, that whole huge plate is $5.30 at today’s fx rate
Kosher prices are in a league of their own
誠にありがとうございます。私は貴殿のすばらしい料理の技術に感銘を受けております。貴殿の調理は最高です。お客様は貴殿の店で食事をすることを非常に喜んでおります。
Am I the only one mesmerized by the beauty of that perfectly seasoned wok?
Nope, me too... I will buy that shiny seasoned wok from him, if he sells it... lol He could start using the new seasoned wok again... keep cooking and it will has the natural non-stick shiny wok again...
My life goal...
Sure makes mine look grody...
also helped by spending 1000's of hours seasoning it
you could throw a rubber glove in that wok and it wouldn't stick.
I would love to visit this restaurant. All of the dishes prepared looked so delicious!!!!
麻婆焼飯ひたすら美味しそうだった……
お腹がすいて堪らなくなってしまった……
街中華、食べに行こう……
お店方々のチームワークが華麗で、動きの無駄のなさや息のあった分担された作業の様子が見ていて心地よい。お料理ももちろん美味しそう。

28:49 The way he moves the fried rice on his ladle... looks easy at first but the more I think about it the harder I think this is
Look so delicious. Thank you for sharing your restaurant and your wonderful people. I would love to bring my family if we ever travel there.

I loved watching every second of this. It reignited my desire to visit Japan 😊
Chinese food in Japan, you can just visit China and Japan at the same time with their local, even tho both countries seem to hate each other
@20:51 - the way he fills the ladle by flipping the rice in the pan
I like the Asian philosophy of meat being the ac-compliment to Rice and Vegetables, instead of the other way around in the west. Also love that eggs are a staple in everything. Especially love them used as "wraps".
Interesting observation you explain here the contrasts Japan vs. American

Makes my mouth water ! Would love to walk down the street one day to get a bowl and see Japan.
Love watching them operate. It’s like a symphony.
I envy his skills, no doubt, honed over his many years of hard work and dedication.
I admire these hard-working people
I have made fried rice for many years. It is a real surprise to see such a small Wok used for the amount of rice being cooked.
Not a small wok, just a big great master who is holding it
