The solo dining booths allow each person to fully immerse themselves in the experience and enjoy the flavor of the food itself without any outside distractions. In some instances, I'd rather go to a place like this during lunchtime instead of a crowded restaurant where you have to listen to annoying loud conversations from ppl sitting next to you. This is a relaxing, yet introverted dining respite. What a fantastic idea!

@Sonasic 11 ай бұрын

yeah but on the other hand social interactions are good for development of a persons personality. I find Japan sometimes to be unhealthy in this aspect. Because i cant find the reason for 0 eye contact or even speak to them.I have also seen that in other establishments. I think Japan is a perfect country for introverted people but sometimes they take it too far in my opinion of course.

@@Sonasic You don't really know much about Japan, I mean Japan is well known for its heavy social interaction culture between peers in the workplace. The reason why you feel this way is that you mostly visited these tourist spots. While in these more remote regions, people are as nice and socialising as everywhere else towards their customers, especially the locals. Japanese got poor english and you don't need to wonder why they don't seem to be interactive in tourist spots. You can see how the printed materials in Ichiran in this video are printed in english to server tourists. Don't make stories with your ignorance

You never take anything for granted in your videos and answer so many unasked questions; in how you film and present what you’re experiencing to all of us, to the overlooked details and customs that someone living in a culture might take for granted when communicating with those not from that culture.
