Paolo I wish more people made videos like yours. Showing off what real jobs are like is not only interesting, but valuable for people searching for a path. I wish there were these kinds of videos when I was in highschool!
The fact that the grandfather the 4th generation created a new style of sushi that has expanded to the entire known world is a achievement that will never be forgotten.

Yo! That Chef looks so sincere and honest. I can tell he's full of positivity. I think I haven't seen such a person in a long time. I just want to go the restaurant because of his smile. ☺ P.s I think he spoke English near at the table 11:44 🤔 If so, much respect.
I think he was speaking english the entire time while explaining to the guests. It's hard to tell but maybe they were non-japanese? His English is also excellent!
That’s actually great news for me haha. I’m planning a Japan trip this fall and I want to visit a sushi restaurant and this one looks good. I was wondering if the owner speaks English and you just confirmed it. Thanks I definitely want to try that omakase dinner!
Seeing soo many jobs and what the people working do can open up soo many possibilities for young people. Paolo is the reason I got hired for my current job in Japan, a salesperson for a food wholesales company that also promotes food culture with events and such. I remember Paolo doing "a day in the life of x" for something similar and it helped a lot to know the ins and outs of the job during the interview process and application.
As a fellow chef, this idea of interacting with the customers and being entertaining cannot be undersold, its extremely important for us in the back of house to interact with the clientele and see them trying our dishes we put our souls into. Id wish I could work for a man like this for a year, his demeanor alone is inspiring.
I always make sure to ask the server to thank the chef, as someone who cooks or myself since teenage, I fully appreciate how much work and passion the chef puts into a beautiful dinner
Hardest working? Lol. More like barely working. All of the 'Day in the life' videos are the same. Same commentary, same editing style. Spends a few hours in the restaurant, few days editing - at which point it's just a muscle memory. Done, mediocre fans satisfied.
Thanks for showcasing such a unique shop with such a decorated history! All of your day in the life and behind the counter videos are so well produced and thoughtfully showcase their subject. You're one of the most underrated creators on the platform Paolo. On a side note, I recently received your hot sauce and it's phenomenal! It's definitely got a kick but the umami flavor goes with everything I put it on! I would love to see more collaborations in the future.
11:38 Getting told he’s boring must have been a tough period. It makes me proud he stuck through and now gets to be the highlight of the visit instead! ❤
It’s so awesome that many businesses in Japan are generational, insuring that traditions are passed on. It shows a lot of pride in their culture and in their value of Family. Thank you for sharing these videos. Hope you can feature more of these. Thank you Paolo.
Your videos provide me with so much peace. I was in Japan back in March and it was such a beautiful experience. Everything was perfect, I’m taking Japanese clases to be able to communicate better and show respect while visiting. Next year we will be visiting for one whole month! ❤ can’t wait to visit some of these amazing places ❤🎉
As I understand, when you allow the chef or request the chef serve his choice of items, it is a big compliment that shows trust and appreciation for his skill.
I was having such a rotten day. Nothing was going right, I got yelled at for something that wasn't my fault and I lost a $20 bill. >.< This video made things feel just a bit better. Thanks Paolo!
I love your videos on restaurants. Ive learnt so much about Japanese cuisine and mostly how much heart and dedication they put into their work. I have to admit i dont eat raw fish sushi but this video just inspires me to want to go Japan one day and eat them in a shop like this. Bucket list! 😊
I really love these videos. Paolo does a good job getting across the sense of what is actually happening in these places. It has been so fun watching his family grow and develop over these years as well. One video I'd like to see him (You) do is "Behind the scenes at a popular Yatai." I think it could allow so many more people to discover this awesome tradition in Japanese street food. Keep up the great videos my friend!
Niccce, Paolo's editing has really ratcheted up a notch. I remember his old vids were very bland, straightforward. Now they are very professional. I really like the translation interactions. Well done!
Love Yasui San’a positivity and his smile. A great way to brighten his customer’s day (besides the delicious sushi of course). Keep up the good work, can’t wait to visit the shop on my next trip to Japan! ☺️
You can stop saying you hope we like this video because we 💯 like every video you make. For me it’s a 💯 like rate for “Day in the life” & “Behind the counter” series. Thank you for keeping it going ❤❤❤
4:35 That is honestly my favorite part of these restaurant videos, seeing everyone be on time and courteous and friendly when bringing ingredients just helps the cycle, everyone doing their part. It's not easy but it makes a great environment when you know you can rely on fresh ingredients being brought to your restaurant and offering the best quality you can to your customers and guest. It's an important balance to maintain. I'd rather pay more if I knew that the process took care of more people in the process. 6:36 Exactly, that is the kind of relationship that should be a standard.
paolo i know you get hundreds of comments like this everytime you upload one of these videos but these are some of my favourite videos on youtube, there's nothing as wholesome and inspirational than getting a peek into the lives of such hardworking and passionate people
It is my dream to one day visit Japan and see all of these wonderful spots you have showed us! This one is defiantly at the top of the list! Thank you!
Love these 'behind the counter' videos! Much more interesting than what Netflix and mainstream tend to churn out. Thank you for producing amazing content! 🙏🏻
Love your positivity as always, I hope the best for you and your family. And you're constantly working hard, getting up early in the morning and making connections to bring amazing videos.
I really love these videos of yours, they are so interesting to watch. I love the way you narrate them also. That sushi looks sos delicious, the quality of food there in Japan is exceptional.
Love your videos Paolo and the history behind these small shops and the bigger ones. It’s a good comparison of how places are run in different countries. Keep it up.
I still can’t figure out why I get excited when you make a new video about normal people making food…but you make it super interesting and entertaining. I love your hot sauce!!!!
Whenever I am in doubt about my own passions in life your videos seem to appear and light a light inside of me that helps me remember everything that brings me joy. The passion and positivity that shines from you and the lovely people in your videos are so contagious. Thank you Paulo. Much love from Denmark🍣🔥
I love this video Paolo. I learned a lot about sushi. I used just to eat sushi but learning more how it is made and its story, let me appreciate the food more.
In the 80's when I started eating Sushi and Sashimi (in SoCal), all Sushi Bars were very traditional like this one. Nice, neat, no b.s. frills and great Sushi. Today, good luck finding a high quaity traditional Sushi Bar. They do exist, but far and few between.
Just realizing how many Japanese small businesses are benefiting from this particular series of your channel. It is great content for you, great marketing for the store, and great reference material for those to travel to Japan. Win-win-win! :)
I love sushi ❤ Watching this video gave me so much more appreciation to sushi🍣 And the right way to eat it 😂 One day I definitely will visit this shop in Japan 🇯🇵
When i travel one day to Japan my problem gonna be how many restaurants i can check out before leaving again. All of these always look so insanely good :D
Paolo Pro-Tip for interviews: ask personal but non-intrusive questions to break the ice and establish rapport like hobbies, etc. Also doesn’t hurt when you have a mischievous donkey-grin that Paolo has 😂😂😂.
I just saw a video about “Japanese Fake Food Samples” and it was so cool. I was thinking it would be a great subject for you channel and had to come say something!
Paolo this was fantastic! Would you ever consider regularly asking the owners how they feel conversing in english or whether they are excited to have tourists visit? Im sure it would make a whole lot of people more comfortable knowing that a language barrier wouldnt dull the experience! 😅
What an amazing place, to imagine that it has been running through 6 generations and even survived through the war. Would love to visit, thank you for sharing another amazing behind the scenes video.
true happiness is when the son and father is together. There is nothing more beautiful than having to see your parents get old and u get to accompany them.
I to struggle with social awkwardness And understand the strength it takes to come out of your shell To be more extroverted😢 A man that continues his 150 years of tradition 👏
