Great to see a second video on Neko Ramen! Heartbreaking to see him in such pain. Update on his health: He has had surgery and has been running his Ramen stand again as of the 26th of december. His walking has improved, and is comparable to the first video. Thank you for the video and please keep visiting him once in a while!

[@madliv21]

Hello, do you mind providing a video or something of this man? I hope he is alright

[@bryanleeyf87]

is it possible to meet him and learn the job to keep his ramen stance? i am so in a bad life, i dont give any shit ...i would like to have a ramen stand like him and o this work, for 40 years

I hope he gets better, we have been there in July, i'm sure he remembers us as we've made a video of him as well. Definitely one of the best ramen we have tried and one of the best people we have meet during 3 months in Japan. I hope we can meet him again soon

[@Japanesefoodcraftsman]

You must be the couple from Spain he mentioned in the interview in our video!!! He surely still remembered you, and was excited that his Ramen would be shown in a video for the Spanish audience! ;-D Hope you will be able to visit him again sometime, and love your videos!

His rest period after the knee surgery is probably the best sleep and rest he would get in years. I am surprised his body hasn't broken down in worse ways. Hope he recovers well.

Very sweet grandfather. I hope his leg will be okay. It's too bad that he smokes, but his love for Coca-Cola and pudding makes me smile kindly. It’s a pity that I’m from Russia (I’m an adequate Russian who is against the war) and won’t be able to come to him to taste good ramen and bring him a couple of bottles of Coca-Cola. I wish good health to this grandfather and good health to you, dear KZbinr and viewers of this channel.
