This is behind the counter at a local Japanese Restaurant serving traditional Japanese food in Jiyugaoka Tokyo Japan. This Tokyo Hidden Gem is run a former head chef at Traditional Japanese Kaiseki restaurant. He felt that the course meal itself could be a bit repetitive and didn’t allow its customers to choose what they were served. So he decided to create his own menu, which allows customers to select what they really want to eat, while still maintaining a high Kaiseki quality at a reasonable price. Originally from the Yamaguchi prefecture but moved here, to Jiyugaoka when he was 18 years old and began his study in the culinary arts. He later moved to a different part of Tokyo, but the area made such a lasting impression on him, that he decided to open up his shop here, knowing that there’s a lot of good customers. This traditional Japanese restaurant in Tokyo Japan serves teishoku meal sets for lunch so customers can easily experience Japanese food culture. Also, we start this off at Toyosu fish market where all the magic happens.

Shared meals and taking rest between the lunch and dinner hours i find absolutely magical and eye opening !! Where else in the world are they doing this cuz it’s definitely not happening in the states. Leisurely time is needed for the mind and important for good productivity and work flow

This is pretty common for small shops here esp outside the big cities. If you dont get lunch before 2-3pm, lunch is at the combini, a chain, or or waiting for dinner service. Its common in europe too (siesta).

Thank you Paolo for another wonderful video! I really like this series, it inspires me. I respect how they work so closely together and how they honour the traditions and work hard to serve customers and each other well.

I loved the great relationship these men have with each other; you can tell they really get along. The owner has such an inviting personality, the guy who likes the motorcycles is jovial, and I love the one guy at the end saying he is looking for a girlfriend. I feel lots of people think of Japanese as very reserved, but they can be friendly and have personality.

If circumstances were different I would absolutely love to live in Japan. The culture, food and people are all amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow! I think this might be my favorite video! Mad respect for not only opening a restaurant at 50, but during COVID!! Plus those employees of his are truly a vibe. I wish nothing but the best for all of them.
