Humble is the Answer to Peace, thankyou for choosing Japan.

Call his store and tell him that instead of hoping he reads this on the internet

You're welcome.

fr, these are fresher burgers then most places are making back in the states

@@isaacwinant1600 I 100% agree! The bun man! It looks so soft and fluffy! I’d just get a single or double with LTO, ketchup, and mustard. Nothing beats the classic as a taste test for me. From the looks of it, I’m going to say that it’s going to pass with flying colors.

Totally agree. People tend to forget the importance of good buns but in my opinion, a lousy bun can definitely ruin a good burger.

He’s not importing anything. He’s buying beef that’s been imported. There’s a huge difference.

Thank you so much, really appreciate it and super happy to hear you enjoyed our video so much!

Yeah. I ended up watching the whole video without realising

Yeah, this content-creator is one of the best food-oriented channels out there. His videos are just so immersive.

@@q_q123 Same! Definite "aw crap, it's over" experience.

@MrSang-py3dd Thank you so much for the praise!! So happy to hear you enjoy our videos!

Their relationship is underappraciated in the comment section

This is the same reason I’ve lived in Australia for nearly 20 years now. Man I adore and love my wifey! I’d do ANYTHING for her. I’d give her my last heartbeat or breath if I could. Doesn’t hurt she can suck a golfball through a garden hose either! He’s not lying happy wife, happy life! Just say yes dear, and/or you’re right darling.

Happy wife, happy life!

Yeah, I loved this part. He seems like a guy who has his priorities in the right order.

absolutely beautiful

It is VERY impressive to see someone with no restaurant experience run a place like that. He's smart to keep the menu simple, of course. I know chefs with 20 years of experience who would have burned out after 6 months doing that by themselves.

Make you wonder how he is profiting when he is selling his burgers so cheap.

​@darklordixor He goes to pick up the bread, he smokes the bacon, he cooks the burgers, etc. He seems to handle the vast majority of the load himself, so that definitely helps a ton. Only having one young employee , which I would assume he pays well, but it's definitely a smart money move. Also, he may not make a ton of money, but he sure seems to be enjoying the ride. Another thing, volume alone may prove to be quite lucrative. Even Only make $1 on an item becomes quite lucrative once you start selling thousands of them. Who knows, though? He seems happy and to be providing an awesome service, his way. I'm glad to see his success and do hope he's providing his family a healthy profit.

I get it's for authenticity, but in my limited experience, Japanese meat looked far superior to anything I've seen here made in America, and my dad's been a butcher my whole life.

@@darklordixor He seems to be retired and this is just a hobby for him. He likely isn’t too concerned about making as profit as long as he is breaking even.

@@TheBluemindedGod American beef is much fatties, though, I'm sure. They probably enjoy the change in pace!

TEDDY!!!!

@@poopmcgee3826 JIM?! 😁

Liar, you aren’t even Japanese, you have the most American name I have ever seen in my whole life.

I'm curious as to how much he charges for these burgers.

@@killerskillet Not too much! Maybe 2000yen for a set

@@user-ub6xk5nn5j どうゆう意味？

I love tomatoes. My dad grilled them once and they were delicious. I think. I’m not exactly sure

Yup he hit the nail on the head by grilling the tomatoes - those burgers look quality and awesome!

He has no choice but to make his own bacon, because bacon doesn't exist in Japan. What they call bacon is more like processed cured ham. And it doesn't taste good.

​@@cartouchatorpeople who have never been outside of the US probably wouldn't realize this.

@@cartouchator wow. That’s amazing

I watched this thinking, that's better than 99% of the burgers I've had my entire life as an American

Exactly what I was thinking - this man is the real burger king, forget the chain restaurant of the same name!

What sauce is the best??

@@Met845 Aurora sauce

Do you think it's the buns? That's one thing that a US burger joint won't access to is daily fresh baked buns. He needs to add some mustard though.

日本の風土や国柄、国民性がこのトライを成功させてると思う。 日本人は割と地方に外国人が根づこうとすると積極的に親切心とヘルプを出してくれる。 しかし外国に日本人が日本語しか喋れなくて行ったらどうなるか？ ゾッとするね。 日本人特有の話せばわかるやガッツなどの精神論なんかじゃ語れない極端な人種差別や搾取の憂き目に合う。

知恵遅れも見てます

I agree! He called it a gimmick but he literally made the whole burger from scratch, that’s the most authentic experience you’ll get even here in America. You only get that at backyard barbecues lol.

Now I want a Bacon Bro's burger! Best burgers in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Yeah but after 20 years you'd think he'd at least picked up some Japanese or made an effort to learn about his wife's mother tongue.

10:22 "My wife is japanese." So sad. Now another Japanese male is single for life. I will never eat here and shame on all other asian people who do.

@@ThePainkiller3666 if you watched the video he clearly picked some up and tries to initiate with japanese. I am sure outside of that he is learning japanese.

@@HeroHamsta I don't think a few words counts, and those he seems to have learned in Japan. I have friends that date from all over the place and within a year they're speaking full phrases to communicate better with their girlfriend's family and friends.

@@ThePainkiller3666 Not sure where you got that he's lived there for 20 years. He said in the video his wife followed (stayed with) him in the US for 20 years before deciding to move back to Japan. This burger place was opened in/around 2018.

well said

Based. Beautiful. ❤❤❤

“Diptych”. 👀 That’s a $10 word

Thanks so much for supporting Jim-san, and for tuning in for the video! His burgers are absolutely amazing!

Just curious if there is a must try Japanese food that a fellow burger loving American has to try while in Japan! Idk I'd I'd be huge into sushi but I think I tried eel before and it wasn't too bad!

That's such a hard question! There is so much great food, so it's really hard to choose a recommendation...but I guess I would say the standard: Ramen?

@Japanese food craftsman yeah I bet Ramen is completely different over there! Japan seems pretty neat I think, thanks!

Yeah, few realize this. The Japanese take everything as an art and their food preparation is definitely the best in the world.

Yup, while I appreciate that cheap food can exist for people who cannot afford more pricy stuff. A lot of things can work in Japan for that reason. You can take your time and polish the stuff you wanna make, you'll have a customer base that will be okay to pay for it.

Bingo. And not just Japan. I'd say most other countries, people mostly cook at home and when they go out to eat, it's something different. Here in America, we use it a crutch everyday so we want it cheap

​@@ThriftShopHustlerno man. Japanese food is generally speaking of good quality, but nowhere near Italian, French nor Spanish food.

​@@Mr.House38 *You've wandered into* subjective territory. He's saying everything at every mom-and-pop restaurant in Japan is artisanal. That's just facts.

Picked up on that too. I thought perhaps he was french canuck phonying it up. Nobody wants a french burger after all. Not that it matters.

He's french Canadian for sure.

@@DimitrisSfounis I don't think he's French Canadian I think he's just French, his contact in Japan that hooked him up with the bun joint was French too

Most people hate when people talk like that. If your native language is English and you visit(Mexico) for example and speak English and throw in a accent when you don't have one thinking it makes it easier for people who speak another native language to understand...it doesn't and makes+sounds dumb; or so I've been told and seen

@@Genessis001 you're a fool. if you live somewhere for years and years you will tend to adopt the local accent and speaking manners.

You can find passionate burger makers everywhere in the states. I’m a burger whore.

@@Westcoastrocksduh a lot harder when you are in an urban center where rent is driving out local businesses, 😕 all I see are chains and fast food.

@@SwordmasterChannel what city do you live in? Any metro area will have amazing 🍔

@@Westcoastrocksduh harder to find than you might think. I'm lucky as I've found a place that makes amazing burgers where I live, but many make crap.

@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I don’t think you understand. I’m a burger fanatic. It’s not hard to find if you search for it.

Thank you so much and happy to hear you enjoy our videos!

So great to hear, and thank you for supporting Jim-san!

Thank you for watching and the kind comment! Glad to hear you enjoyed our video!

Right? I'd want to travel to Fukuoka the next time I go to Japan just to try the burger. My wife will think I'm crazy since we live in the US, haha! But his burgers look amazing!

You can tell he is a good dude and represents us well. I’m glad for his success.

Thank you so much and great to hear you visited Jim-san yesterday!! Hope you enjoyed your burger and had a great time!

Seriously, I'd be hard-pressed to find a place that grinds their own beef and smokes their own bacon even in Portland, OR.

@@kristin7146 weeb, there are obviously better burgers in America. His look great, but take off your rose tinted Japanophile glasses

@@kristin7146 I’m from portland too, and there is some good burger places around here. But this looks better then anything I’ve ever had 100%

i mean as long as im concern thats an American burger made by an American

I don't know, I've seen American burgers that look just like that in the states. You guys need to take off that "love for Japan" rose tinted goggles.

がんばって！ Best of luck!

As an American, this guy really embodies traditional burger shops. everything is fresh and made to order. Most fast food burgers are more for convenience than quantity. If you're ever in the southern united states, the best burgers are at BBQ restaurants.

I'm American and I can tell you, the quality, effort, and care this man puts into his burgers is on point👌 He's definitely doing a superb job of representing some of the best burgers that the U.S. offers imo. The thickness of the burger is impressive as well. All the added touches with buttered, grilled buns and the tomato on the grill - he clearly enjoys what he does and he enjoys giving his customers the best possible dining experience that he can. I hope you get to try one!

You want to talk to him in English, says a lot, respect 👍

I read all the replies to everyone's comments. Thank you so much :D

So happy to hear that!

its because we finally got to see an authentic style American burger made by a true American instead of videos claiming to be American style burgers with a twist of Japanese/Korean burger

I'm from Australia too! Me and my mates went to Japan recently, and eating here while talking with Jim was one of the highlights!

​@@victorbartlinski4319 so jealous! 😊Hope to visit Japan one day and eat a Jim 🍔

I wouldn’t go to Japan to eat burgers but only local Japanese meals. Anything is better than American crap junkfood🫢

Every country definitely has its problems, but he seems to be really nice and embody the good aspects I liked about the U.S. I happen to move Fukuoka recently and live nearby, so I'm definitely going to pay a visit. His situation feels kind of similar to mine actually. Haha

I like how he said it, she followed him for 20 years now it's his turn to follow her.

What xenophobia, why would there be... The idea that western "white people" (whatever the heck that is because we're all mixed, take a DNA test) or Americans are "xenophobic" and "racist" like it's a "real and serious rampant issue" just shows people's level of brainwashing and pseudo-intellectualism. The media, university professors and politicians you've listened to have done you a serious disservice teaching lies. I'm a so-called "White" southern Texan and there is absolutely ZERO reason to even bring this subject up. You know nothing of the reality of it & I don't care where you're from or who you are. I find it highly offensive this sort of thing somehow needs to be constantly spoken about on food and travel shows like this it isn't some sort of normal thing when it is because propaganda media is all saying the same stuff, most the globe over. So political leaders have access to to create imaginary division where it does not exist, divide and conquer... In fact. The most racist places I've ever been to and lived in are leftist ran West Coast, or Northerner cities in America and countries where they hate everyone including their own self and many countries outside the U.S. where no one gets along and even they hate each other and they're basically brother and sister... See, down South we were taught to love our neighbor as our self for decades now. To accept and respect anyone until they no longer respect you and usually they keep on trying to love those people anyway. I'm proud of where I'm from. There's no real disdain of mixed relationships, culture, families, friends, co-workers, no issues... Where it begins is people coming in who don't respect others or their privacy with assumptions and no boundaries and assume things about a culture they know nothing about. Then they preach and they to push things on families and kids they have no business doing. Huge issue today everywhere in Western culture. Basically, I shouldn't of had to say any of this at all but someone needs lessons and these sort of comments of "virtue signaling and gas lighting" or whatever it is going on here are totally not appropriate or necessary to post. Yeah, people respect other people. Imagine that "wild concept" 🙄😒.

He's the lucky one. USA is a shizhole.

Dang, ok maybe sometime in the future. Thought it was in Tokyo haha

I noticed that too. He's obviously been speaking Japanese primarily for quite a while. I took it as he didn't speak it when he got there but is now pretty fluent, because his cadence is very Japanese. I find it utterly fascinating to hear how peoples' speech patterns change as they embed in a new culture.

Thats the Japan effect . You will find many better burger places in the USA but because its Japan it gives that ''better'' effect

@@robzsarmy5471 Honestly the novelty of eating authentic American burgers in Japan would be worth it itself haha
