I’ve been onto the store and they only seem to deliver to Japan which is a shame😢 I would love a bottle of that world’s best Tea, even though they are sold out for this year, it says on their website🫖🍵🇯🇵🎌💴
@@KairoK people say that, but for every source I've seen, Japan actually has a lower rate than the U.S., which is probably the country people are comparing it to when they say it's high
But it's sad to see how it will all die out. Seeing all those family shrines in Paolos videos, yet not a single one of these people featured have a husband/wife and kids. What will happen to all those family homes and furniture passed down from generation to generation? Sad stuff
I mean her family runs a luxury tea company I’m pretty sure they’re well off. But they also live in a very rural area so they probably wouldn’t be living like that in Tokyo for example
@@sastashroud7646maybe. its normal in Japan. mens & womens in their 20s choose not in a relationship and its still continuing till 20+. the feeling of unclear employment by men, and the burden of households by women are stopping them to not in a relationship. almost 50% of both men & women votes to be single for their rest of life. also the huge salary gap between man & female, gender inequality issue stops them to have a partner too. the birthrate are fewer than 1 million year year are very concerning for a big country as Japan, thats why there's plenty of Anime, Manga who are encouraging young people to be in relationship, some says Japanese might go extinct in a decades if this trend still continues.
@@sastashroud7646 from what I understand, nowadays Japanese women are far more comfortable working and staying single and it has caused a bit of a birthrate crisis.
Japan has to be the only country in the world that has this level of craftsmanship and care for every single product they produce. There are high end products all across the world of course but this level of dedication is rarely seen.
@@miketokles9451you forgot that 40% of world luxury stuff are also made in china.. they provide everything bad and good according to your purchase power
I am fascinated on how even the president wipes the floor and all of them in high position have a specific tasks for making sure everything is clean and tidy.
Bro they need to learn what a mop is. I'm down to clean the entire office before work but if you don't even give me a swiffer or something I'm gonna be a little upset.
I'm so jealous that Japan has this unique culture all their own. It seems like there is a real sense of home. They and their ancestors are where they have always been. There's a pride, continuity and connectedness that I really envy.
Truly. That feeling of belongingness permeates through this video. Just imagine how happy these people are. And they really are happy, it's not just a show. They life like humans are evolved to live, together, farming their own food and maintaining traditions.
All these videos really make me realize how committed they are to keeping everything clean and in order. You hardly ever see any of these buildings or businesses dirty or unclean (aside from restaurants during work hours), its just not something that anyone cares about in majority of the world. I've only visited Japan once, but its unbelievable how kind and caring these kinds of businesses make you feel, as well as how clean and presentable they keep their shops at all times.
Its definitely cared about, you just notice it in places like Japan because of the lack of homeless and strict cultures (culture can be strict due to remaining homogenous, but it causes other issues). Solving issues like homelessness and cultural issues are why we don't notice it here in western countries (im in Canada, when I was a kid places were fairly clean and we were doing really good economically but now due to a drug/housing epidemic, overpopulation and rising crime you can begin to tell places are starting to become dirtier by the day).
@@Nabee_H I also live in Canada, and that's what I'm basing my statement on. Even if you look at normal supermarkets for example, they are disgustingly dirty pretty much 24/7. You go into a japanese supermarket at any hour of the day, it's damn near spotless. I've lived in Canada all my life, and even 10-15 years ago nothing was different, disregarding the increase in homelessness. Yeah it might've been a bit cleaner compared to now, but in comparison its not even close. It's just a complete cultural difference when it comes to what we in the west deem as "acceptable" vs what they deem as "mandatory." And it's not like we can't, we just rely on the government to clean and maintain things vs Japanese people taking pride in keeping their country clean. In a sense you could classify it simply as "laziness." If you tell an employee that doesn't have cleaning in his job description to clean the floors, it's seen as a chore here and would not be done if no one enforced it. Whereas its practically voluntary over there, which is what I found extremely fascinating. Now not to say there aren't places that are clean and run by people who care about being presentable. But it's nowhere near the norm, and at this point not even encouraged.
@@maekoh Where in Canada? I know Vancouver is in the dumps right now. Toronto is also pretty bad. The only places that are decent are the remote suburbs/industrial areas where the population isn't as dense. Also we still had a drug problem back then, its many other issues that factor in. Smaller countries also generally take cleanliness more seriously whilst Canadians and Americans do whatever tf they want because "its a big place". I feel like one major things is cleaning in school, something we dont have here. Maybe tidying up our toys in kindergarten but that was about it. The Japanese cook and clean all throughout elementary and high school while we have custodians taking care of us.
@@Nabee_H Alberta pretty much my entire life, living both in major cities (calgary & edmonton) as well as smaller rural areas. I know there's quite a few factors that play into it, but it just boils down to them being far better people in general. They take passion in what they do and appreciate everything. Whereas everyone here takes pretty much everything for granted, so naturally people don't have respect for things around them. People coming from asian countries like Singapore, Japan, Korea etc, to places in NA like New York, Toronto, Chicago etc, have said it's genuinely daunting to adapt to cause of how disgustingly bad it is. And I do agree that it stems a lot from never being taught at a young age. But its not a social standard, so even parents don't bother teaching their kids basic respect. I was raised in an asian household that was dead set on teaching those things. And growing up, even though I was born here, it was still crazy seeing the major differences when I saw people that clearly didn't. Tokyo as of 4 years ago had like 4+ million more residents than NYC, yet its somehow unbelievably clean. Even on the busiest streets in downtown tokyo, it makes downtown NYC look like a wasteland. There's not heavy practices for it either, you just have to have some sort of collective human decency and respect for your own city, which is the thing that all of NA doesn't have. So wrapping back to what you originally said, I just genuinely can't see it as "being cared about" when people here would likely choose to trash the city/country over cleaning it. And our government is useless as shit with a thousand other problems, so its not like its something thats even feasible for the future. (I apologize if some of this makes no sense, I haven't slept in like 20 hours 💀)
@@maekoh This is so true. Another example is going into the big cities. In cities like Toronto, there's litter everywhere. In Tokyo, the streets are almost spotless. You could still find some litter in some places, but it's EXTREMELY rare (and usually it wasn't put there by a Japanese person). When I went there, the difference blew me away. That and the vending machines everywhere. Loved being able to stop and get a soda or a can of coffee (which was actually pretty good and always hot, surprisingly) at any moment, no matter where I was, haha.
One thing I love about japanese craftsmanship is that things that are expensive, are expensive because they take HOURS to make and it takes the masters a life time to perfect the skills to make them. In western culture they will sell you an item very expensive because of the brand even though its cheaply made and mass produced.
Because they're all staged. He's getting paid by the japanese tourism association to pump out these videos to attract foreigners to Japan and to japanese business 😅😅😅
The fact that they honour the guy who brought the tea seeds from China 600 years ago is incredible. I love how, in whatever walk of life, the Japanese respect the efforts and labours of their ancestors which they enjoy the products of today. We have completely lost this in the West and it saddens me greatly.
Japan isn't as great as you think it is though. If you're disabled, autistic or mentally ill, you're treated as disposable and left to rot. It's not a friendly society.
Hi Paolo, I’m one of those subscribers who always watch but never comment, but today it changes !! This is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE day in the life of videos !!! I loved to see who tea is grown and produced and sold! This was incredibly interesting and I thank you for showing us this tradition of Japanese culture ❤
This was a really beautiful episode. I think we’re so accustomed to seeing the busy side of Japan in Tokyo but the rural countryside is really a sight to behold and looks so peaceful. This family’s passion for tea shows and it’s great to see how they have been able to take that passion and make a living with it.
As soon as I heard 3 story and 8 bedroom and watched the first 3mins I wanted a house tour! This was a fantastic video. So much japanese culture in it.
this factory is like another planet: organized management, cleanliness and tidiness, tranquility. I wish health to all employees and the head of the family
how on earth did she get all that done in one day?! Store opening, tea ceremony, visit the farms, head back to the factory. I love how the family works together. It's very refreshing to see the daughters work with their father. Paolo, please keep making these! I love the Day In A Life and Behind the Counter videos!
Geez, the production value of your videos is absolutely insane. I love watching these "day in the life" videos. No TV production can ever achieve the same quality of production you have.
So humble and strong on integrity - specially the two sisters cleaning and mopping the floor themselves- so humbling. When you respect your work place, the work starts respecting you ❤
@@MrAelin You're probably confusing China and Japan. "leftover women" aka "sheng nu" is a Chinese phrase. Japanese used to use "Christmas cake" which is equivalent to "spinster" in English, but like "spinster", it's not really a thing you hear from current generations.
As a tea lover myself I was drooling while watching this episode! I am really enjoying this snippets of life of hard working families and being able to see a little of their dynamic on camera is heart warming. And to be able to try that bottle of tea! For the first time in a long time I actually feel jealousy! Thank you for this amazing content!
This was one of your best episodes! I'm in no means a connaisseur but do enjoy drinking green tea every day. This family business so obviously respects the product they produce. They're not cutting any corners and in the "making a quick buck" business. And not only that, they also respect the relationships with their suppliers and clients, which seems to be a theme in Japan.
This might be your best Day in the Life video yet at least in terms storytelling and videography. Following the younger Fuki as she roams around her town while learning from her elders about the art of tea making in both its process and history sounds like a great plot for a movie.
That shot at 8:10 where it's only her and the rest are men is so powerful and inspiring! It's very moving to see several Day in the Life where it's the daughters the ones who are stepping in to carry on businesses, traditions and positions of leadership.
The guy doesn't have any sons. Actually in Japan traditionally in this scenario they would "adopt" a son in law (the daughter's husband) to take over the family business. With a family of such beautiful women, I wonder what man would be so lucky...
Another cool insight in Japanese culture. This made me emotional too. I love tea and matcha. This being a family dynamic is really heartwarming ❤ Thank you for your hard work !!!!!!!
It's incredible how Japanese workers always look so DEEPLY immersed in their work, no matter the domain ! All of their jobs have a strong meaning and consideration, even if it's just wiping floors. Their dedication and desire to push everything to perfection is very inspiring !
Love how this video gives an intimate look into the intricate world of Japanese tea making. Kudos to the creator for showcasing such a fascinating glimpse into Fuki's daily life!
When I was a student in Kyoto I was a part of my school's the tea ceremony club, so Japanese tea has a special place in my heart. The bottled gyokuro is such an interesting concept, it's like the tea equivalent of a fine wine. Hopefully I can try it one day. Thanks for giving us such an in depth look at the industry, and great video as always!
Did you notice everyone s skin looked pretty darn awesome? The power of green tea heheh Years ago I had an amazing green teen in NYC. It was grassy and was a little smoky- it was delicious. I always remember that tea to this day. So it must be a bit of an adventure being a high level tea connoisseur. 😊 I loved how tight knit this family was. Even though they seem obviously quite wealthy, the youngest daughter cleaned the store with so much pride. Says so much about her. Even the way she laid the doormat down at the end of the day. They seem like l9vely ppl. As usual, Paolo- what a fantastic job you did. This is really hard work and you and Mail always make it seem so seamless.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Man.... Paolo. Every single video you put out is of masterclass quality. I learnt so much from this single video. About Japanese Culture, about lifestyles in the more rural areas of Japan, about tea and how deep and complex it's crafting process can be, and so much more. Thank you for putting so much love and care into your craft!!💜
You always do fantastic video documentaries about Japan. Not only do you choose engrossing subjects, but how you present their life as daily stories is outstanding. Not to mention, editing is skillful and superlative. I love Japanese green tea. They are the most high quality, natural, organic, whole real foods green tea you can have. I drink every day for a healthy life. Japanese green teas always soothe my soul. Thank you, Paolo and Maiko.💖
This really is the best series on UA-cam alongside Behind the Counter as well it's just so great to see a nation who look to take care of the process in it's entire capacity to give something of quality the proper time it needs. Each of these are so unique, I am surprised there are still so many different unique ways to make a full life in Japan.
Love your presentation style Paolo! The perfect BLEND of learning, B roll, and human moments to truly make us feel like we were along for the day. Much love from Canada!
This is one of the wholesome videos you made. Don't stop making these videos, i really enjoy watching the life of japanese people with different profession through your videos
What a kind and hard working team! Their passion for the work shines through, and I truly enjoyed each second of watching them talk so proudly of their craft. Wonderful family! Thank you!!
Everything about this video made me smile, and my heart happy. A beautiful tradition, from the growing to the processing, sale and serving. Truly a tradition worth keeping and carrying on. Great video Paolo!❤
I'm sure her youthful look is because of the high quality tea full of antioxydants !!! I love japanese tea. I always buy tea from japan, the sweetness and umami is just another world !!
I love how the tea isn’t part of the ritual, it is the ritual and everything else revolves around it. So beautiful, all the labor, experience, and love that goes into selecting the tea. Thank you, Paolo, for giving us the tea on tea. I have never craved a cup more. 🙂
I love that the farmer pointed out that Paolo’s audience is basically all foreigners so they’ll have no clue about most Japanese food. Thank you, Mr. Tea Farmer for humbling us viewers and allowing us to learn more about Japanese cuisine.
Paolo, this, in my opinion is one of your best videos in day of the life series. I felt such an immense satisfaction and tranquility during the rural and farming parts in the video. Please never stop doings such an amazing job. I am still a student and from a third World country, but when I make money, I'll surely support this channel. Thank you very much!
Always enjoy your Day in the Life series Paolo and amazing work as always. Perfect way to start my weekend!! Will definitely have to check out Yame city one day, it looks beautiful.
Such an awesome series. Japanese traditions are so interesting to see . You know they got it right when the children of the owner mop the floor including the company president.
I've been watching Paolo for a long time and I think this might be my new favorite video of his. This channel's production quality just keeps going up and up!
How is she 39 years old? 🤣 Also, I love the passion she has for her job, Japanese people are always to do great in every possible task, they're so polite as well, I absolutely love their culture
I can't emphasize enough just how interesting this is. Makes me happy to see such passion for an incredible tradition. I wish them all the success and happiness!
This episode holds very special value to me. As a trainer in Toyota, we taught passionately about hospitality or "Omotenashi", which has a very strong connection with the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Arigato gozaimasu, Paolo-san.
2:11 Cool! That takes me back. My Aunt Rose used to own her own shop that was connected to Grandma’s house. Every vacation, she’d give me the biggest lollipop from her lolly tree. I even sometimes help out too. That was before she started going blind over time.
@@daol84 just FYI CEO's of large corporations often don't work harder than an average employee of that same company. The hardworking boss of a large company fallacy has been disproven long ago.
That was truly wonderful. I love seeing more of rural Japan. Fuki's family home looked incredible. Everyone was so nice and welcoming in the video. Thanks.
Easily one of my favorite Day in the life series by far, those picturesque landscapes took my breath away multiple times. Thanks Paolo for the Fire Content.
I still can’t believe she is 39! I thought she is younger than me and im not even 30 yet… dna+stressless life of rich family with family business, when you don’t have to worry about future and have money for a good skincare+no kids and husband😂 Im grateful for Paolo for making such videos, like, about fading traditions, for example. Hope love to tea will never be forgotten and tea traditions will keep blooming in Japan. As for me, you made it sure that when i get to Fukuoka, Yame - i will buy lots of their teas, even that expensive bottle for 25k💴 😂🎉❤

Omg everyone is so beautiful, the presentation is wonderful love your work...😍jeez japanese women are beautiful
I’ve been onto the store and they only seem to deliver to Japan which is a shame😢 I would love a bottle of that world’s best Tea, even though they are sold out for this year, it says on their website🫖🍵🇯🇵🎌💴
Fuki's dad is everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised to see him outside my apartment.
I laughed too much at this comment xD
if you buy his tea... then maybe
He showed us his trade. For that, I'm grateful to him and Paolo.
😂👌
this comment is gem
I love that the Japanese emphasize the importance of doing everything with love and passion.
funny , the ones in my company must have skipped that lecture.
Don't romanticize it though to " sue. a side" rates are extreme

@@ika32 The thing is Tokyo has a very high rate. But if you calculate Japan as whole, that equals out
She's 39??!! Her skin is amazing. Her mom too looks great!
rich people spend money on that. don't worry, it's not natural
@@teevee23 She drives a Honda and lives at home, don't think they are rich lol
@@TheBilliardCornershe loves in a 3 story house....in Japan and there's a Mercedes in drive way, they have money lol
@@teevee23dude just saw his first asian woman and thinks its plastic surgery 😂 you’re either young or severely uneducated on foreign populations.
I mean her family runs a luxury tea company I’m pretty sure they’re well off. But they also live in a very rural area so they probably wouldn’t be living like that in Tokyo for example
You can tell she’s from a wealthy family but the humility within herself, her sister and their family is incredible
right? very cool family
is she also single? i see many of paolo's video have single person, is this common in japan ?
@@sastashroud7646maybe. its normal in Japan.
mens & womens in their 20s choose not in a relationship and its still continuing till 20+. the feeling of unclear employment by men, and the burden of households by women are stopping them to not in a relationship.
almost 50% of both men & women votes to be single for their rest of life.
also the huge salary gap between man & female, gender inequality issue stops them to have a partner too.
the birthrate are fewer than 1 million year year are very concerning for a big country as Japan, thats why there's plenty of Anime, Manga who are encouraging young people to be in relationship, some says Japanese might go extinct in a decades if this trend still continues.

Japan has to be the only country in the world that has this level of craftsmanship and care for every single product they produce. There are high end products all across the world of course but this level of dedication is rarely seen.
Stole my words! Their craftsmanship is something else
Nah China beat them

Indeed, if I had one complaint, it would be that the episode ended too soon.
Why Japanese people are incredibly talented yet genuinely humble. These two traits make them so special and beautiful. May god protect them 🇯🇵

Antioxidants in tea probably contribute to anti-aging.
japanese also eat very healthy
So glad these videos are getting longer! My favorite series for learning what daily Japanese lifestyles look like
All I can say is I love the Japanese culture. Everyone is treated with respect and love. Everyone is treated as family.
Try to live here and you will see it's not the case
39, unmarried, living with parents.... because she is a woman everyone is praising her. if its a man, people would be saying he is a loser
@@roblox21242 facts lmao being 39 and unmarried in Japan is a big disgrace for a woman actually, the society calls those "leftover women"
@@MrAelin You're probably confusing China and Japan. "leftover women" aka "sheng nu" is a Chinese phrase. Japanese used to use "Christmas cake" which is equivalent to "spinster" in English, but like "spinster", it's not really a thing you hear from current generations.
Try visit Malaysia for once and you will love it.
Even most Japanese love to visit Malaysia.
I love japanese craftsman. their dedication to their work is awesome.
As a tea lover myself I was drooling while watching this episode! I am really enjoying this snippets of life of hard working families and being able to see a little of their dynamic on camera is heart warming. And to be able to try that bottle of tea! For the first time in a long time I actually feel jealousy! Thank you for this amazing content!
A very traditional Japanese home compared to some of the other ones we have seen. Super cool!
Absolutely love Japanese traditions. So unique and beautiful.
I am a fan of Green Tea so I am loving this episode. It is very intersting and great to see how this family run their tea business
This was one of your best episodes! I'm in no means a connaisseur but do enjoy drinking green tea every day. This family business so obviously respects the product they produce. They're not cutting any corners and in the "making a quick buck" business. And not only that, they also respect the relationships with their suppliers and clients, which seems to be a theme in Japan.
This might be your best Day in the Life video yet at least in terms storytelling and videography. Following the younger Fuki as she roams around her town while learning from her elders about the art of tea making in both its process and history sounds like a great plot for a movie.
Modern farming technology, perfectly combined with traditional Japanese practises! How awesome is that!
One of the best so far. I love family business and the tea ceremony that is 600 years old just blows my mind. Thank you!
I love how passionate in tea sending through many generations. and the tea shop in the house is kinda cool.
That shot at 8:10 where it's only her and the rest are men is so powerful and inspiring! It's very moving to see several Day in the Life where it's the daughters the ones who are stepping in to carry on businesses, traditions and positions of leadership.
Totally agree with this! For a male dominated society/industry, I would love to follow Fuki-san's journey of excelling in it
Well, unfortunately the master doesn't have any sons. Usually the eldest son takes over the business.
The guy doesn't have any sons. Actually in Japan traditionally in this scenario they would "adopt" a son in law (the daughter's husband) to take over the family business. With a family of such beautiful women, I wonder what man would be so lucky...
Hopefully it wil just be passed down to the daughters since such traditions are outdated
Most Japanese wouldn't even notice that or care, frankly. She's only there because she's the child of the owner.
Her family home is just stunning! Absolutely beautiful!
Another cool insight in Japanese culture. This made me emotional too. I love tea and matcha. This being a family dynamic is really heartwarming ❤ Thank you for your hard work !!!!!!!
I felt the same way! This was so heartwarming and full of care and family support, too. I learned so much! 🥹💕🍵
It's incredible how Japanese workers always look so DEEPLY immersed in their work, no matter the domain !
All of their jobs have a strong meaning and consideration, even if it's just wiping floors.
Their dedication and desire to push everything to perfection is very inspiring !
Suicide rate is so high though, hmmmm
Love how this video gives an intimate look into the intricate world of Japanese tea making. Kudos to the creator for showcasing such a fascinating glimpse into Fuki's daily life!
When I was a student in Kyoto I was a part of my school's the tea ceremony club, so Japanese tea has a special place in my heart. The bottled gyokuro is such an interesting concept, it's like the tea equivalent of a fine wine. Hopefully I can try it one day. Thanks for giving us such an in depth look at the industry, and great video as always!
Did you notice everyone s skin looked pretty darn awesome? The power of green tea heheh
Years ago I had an amazing green teen in NYC. It was grassy and was a little smoky- it was delicious. I always remember that tea to this day. So it must be a bit of an adventure being a high level tea connoisseur. 😊 I loved how tight knit this family was. Even though they seem obviously quite wealthy, the youngest daughter cleaned the store with so much pride. Says so much about her. Even the way she laid the doormat down at the end of the day. They seem like l9vely ppl. As usual, Paolo- what a fantastic job you did. This is really hard work and you and Mail always make it seem so seamless.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
When the President said the most important thing for her is gratitude and love, I almost cried. Great video!❤
朝起きてのシーンからお茶作りの様子、また家族の絆を感じられてとてもいい感じの動画ですね。フキさんこれからも八女感動茶を発信し続けてください！
Man.... Paolo. Every single video you put out is of masterclass quality. I learnt so much from this single video. About Japanese Culture, about lifestyles in the more rural areas of Japan, about tea and how deep and complex it's crafting process can be, and so much more.
Thank you for putting so much love and care into your craft!!💜
This was a spectacular episode Paolo and Maiko. One of the very best and what a privilege to taste their special brew at the end. Inspiring.
You always do fantastic video documentaries about Japan. Not only do you choose engrossing subjects, but how you present their life as daily stories is outstanding. Not to mention, editing is skillful and superlative. I love Japanese green tea. They are the most high quality, natural, organic, whole real foods green tea you can have. I drink every day for a healthy life. Japanese green teas always soothe my soul. Thank you, Paolo and Maiko.💖
This really is the best series on UA-cam alongside Behind the Counter as well it's just so great to see a nation who look to take care of the process in it's entire capacity to give something of quality the proper time it needs. Each of these are so unique, I am surprised there are still so many different unique ways to make a full life in Japan.
I love the way Fuki's dad's suit and shirt have been ironed - impeccable!
The Japanese ethos towards work and family is amazing. I wish it was like that here in the UK
Just showing the passion and respect is something I don’t no other country has. Their culture is amazing makes me wanna learn more
I’m amazed that the workers say they have worked for decades and yet still look so youthful ☺️☺️☺️☺️
👀 not every job are like that though
Green Tea has some serious power
WOW, the lifetime commitment to producing tea is just fantastic. Glad you got to taste the expensive one!
Love your presentation style Paolo! The perfect BLEND of learning, B roll, and human moments to truly make us feel like we were along for the day. Much love from Canada!
This is one of the wholesome videos you made.
Don't stop making these videos, i really enjoy watching the life of japanese people with different profession through your videos
Her skin looks amazing! You can tell she eats right, obviously lots of water/tea and has great skincare products
How wonderful. Thank you for sharing your life Fuki and Paolo for all your hard work.
I didnt know people value Tea this much. Thankful to see things like these as our culture is very different from Japan.
You can see how much love respect and dedication they have for their job and that’s amazing.
I just really want to smell that tea
I’m always amazed at the work ethic the Japanese have, so precise and elegant.
Thank you for showing us around and telling us about this beautiful family off 5 generation off tea makers 👍🥰
absolutely love to see how close their family is and them building the legacy business, they just need more kids!!
I love Japanese traditional culture
This was actually quite fascinating. Thank You and the family for allowing you to follow them. Excellent "Day in the Life"!
I love this series!!!!! I swear I watch this channel more than I watch TV lol
What a kind and hard working team! Their passion for the work shines through, and I truly enjoyed each second of watching them talk so proudly of their craft. Wonderful family! Thank you!!
After so many days another day in a life video so nice paulo
I love brown rice-green tea flavor. Drink it every night before sleep.
Would be awesome to see „A Day in the Life“ of a supermarket/convenient store worker or a pet supply store, something like that
Everything about this video made me smile, and my heart happy. A beautiful tradition, from the growing to the processing, sale and serving. Truly a tradition worth keeping and carrying on. Great video Paolo!❤
素晴らしき Made in Japan。そしてその伝統を受け継ぐフキさんも素晴らしい。頑張って下さい！！！
I'm sure her youthful look is because of the high quality tea full of antioxydants !!! I love japanese tea. I always buy tea from japan, the sweetness and umami is just another world !!
I love how the tea isn’t part of the ritual, it is the ritual and everything else revolves around it. So beautiful, all the labor, experience, and love that goes into selecting the tea. Thank you, Paolo, for giving us the tea on tea. I have never craved a cup more. 🙂
I love that the farmer pointed out that Paolo’s audience is basically all foreigners so they’ll have no clue about most Japanese food. Thank you, Mr. Tea Farmer for humbling us viewers and allowing us to learn more about Japanese cuisine.
Paolo, this, in my opinion is one of your best videos in day of the life series. I felt such an immense satisfaction and tranquility during the rural and farming parts in the video. Please never stop doings such an amazing job. I am still a student and from a third World country, but when I make money, I'll surely support this channel. Thank you very much!
Always enjoy your Day in the Life series Paolo and amazing work as always. Perfect way to start my weekend!! Will definitely have to check out Yame city one day, it looks beautiful.
What an enviable life. How cool to live above the family store in such a lovely house. A beautiful area as well and a short commute! ❤❤❤
Such an awesome series. Japanese traditions are so interesting to see . You know they got it right when the children of the owner mop the floor including the company president.
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you.
The guy who cuts the tea leaves is 60 yrs old!!! I think I need to drink more tea rn
Right? Plus, he's a farmer so he stays under the sun all day because of his work.
too late for you you gotta start early, maybe next life
LOL@@Nodsaibot
@@Nodsaibotbruh
I've been watching Paolo for a long time and I think this might be my new favorite video of his. This channel's production quality just keeps going up and up!
How is she 39 years old? 🤣 Also, I love the passion she has for her job, Japanese people are always to do great in every possible task, they're so polite as well, I absolutely love their culture
I'm shocked how beautiful Fuki looks like!
Agree.
how is that simping
@LinhNguyen-my5mymen like you need to come to terms with your repressed homosexuality
I can't emphasize enough just how interesting this is. Makes me happy to see such passion for an incredible tradition. I wish them all the success and happiness!
This episode holds very special value to me. As a trainer in Toyota, we taught passionately about hospitality or "Omotenashi", which has a very strong connection with the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Arigato gozaimasu, Paolo-san.
2:11 Cool! That takes me back. My Aunt Rose used to own her own shop that was connected to Grandma’s house. Every vacation, she’d give me the biggest lollipop from her lolly tree. I even sometimes help out too. That was before she started going blind over time.
Lolipop grows on tree!?😮
@@xdxdsheep No, it’s was a candy rack that she painted to look like a little tree
I really loved everything in the video, but more than that, for some reason, I am motivated to get back to my own work now with utmost sincerity.
The president cleaning the floor is amazing.
Why? The CEO should focus on greater responsibilities imho.
Cleaning is the greatest responsibility. @@daol84
@@daol84 What is greater responsibilities?
@@daol84 just FYI CEO's of large corporations often don't work harder than an average employee of that same company. The hardworking boss of a large company fallacy has been disproven long ago.
@@SC-jt3uf Anything.
That was truly wonderful. I love seeing more of rural Japan. Fuki's family home looked incredible. Everyone was so nice and welcoming in the video. Thanks.
Easily one of my favorite Day in the life series by far, those picturesque landscapes took my breath away multiple times.
Thanks Paolo for the Fire Content.
I still can’t believe she is 39! I thought she is younger than me and im not even 30 yet… dna+stressless life of rich family with family business, when you don’t have to worry about future and have money for a good skincare+no kids and husband😂
Im grateful for Paolo for making such videos, like, about fading traditions, for example. Hope love to tea will never be forgotten and tea traditions will keep blooming in Japan.
As for me, you made it sure that when i get to Fukuoka, Yame - i will buy lots of their teas, even that expensive bottle for 25k💴 😂🎉❤
This video was amazing. I loved that you focused on the whole family. Great work Maiko and Paolo
Even the grandmother had a cameo ❤
Thank you Paolo and his family, the collaborators and to anyone who participated for this informative and entertaining video.
Hello Banana, where are you come from 😂
thanks for your hardwork and comittment to the content. And thanks to Fuki and her family to show us the life of tea business
