As a bartender I'd LOVE to see some day (or rather night) in the life of Japanese bar staff, or what traditional pubs look like in Japan!!! Thanks Paolo

[@peteh4355]

There is probably a few takes on that. There is Golden Gai, a maze like mash of allyways filled with bars that fit like 6 people in them with friendly bar staff and they are all different shapes sizes and vibes. I also went to an AWESOME whiskey bar in Osaka where the owner was well travelled and had many world whiskies and was up for a chat. Definitely a good shout for a Paolo video.

[@NeoAnthony]

I highly second this idea!

[@dorphac]

I suspect utube would probably demonetize it or not push it in the algorithm. The lost views or being added to this list of "content creators who produce quality and informative videos" that promote or advertise drug and/or alcohol consumption would bring them fewer views in the long run. Make one little video and receive backlash outlasting the views that video would make is an easy bet. Very sad reality. Would love to see nightlight like a street vendor or bartender or nightclub or something along those lines. Bunch of rowdy businessmen getting their rocks off while filming would for sure bring in views.

Japan Day in the Life videos are highly informative yet very entertaining to watch. I have this sort of weird fascination for Japanese knife crafting. They’re very, very high quality compared to just an ordinary kitchen knife. Whenever you need to either slice or chop something, you don’t need to exert much effort. Let the knife do what it can do.

The quality is second to a lot, Miyabi are solid for large scale factory production blades, but compared to a Yoshikazu Tanaka or Togashi forged knife from the likes of Konosuke, Hitohira, Takada no Hamono etc. the grind, heat treat, distal taper and polish are nowhere close.

[@chudyie]

Japanese are a sensible people.

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I know right it is just crazy. Huge respect to these people for doing this dedication to their work. It does make me wonder though just how much of the work is superfluous really. How much of this detail ever actually adds up truly in the end to make any difference that even a high-end client might notice. They’re obviously good quality, but it does feel like the demand for putting out constantly new knives and absolute perfection might be a bit too unnecessary and puts unneeded stress on workers that could be avoided. Obviously Japan would never do this and wouldn’t even want to take the risk during development, especially if it meant losing workers, but it might have to be done eventually.

[@danielwhyatt3278]

@@tutku2038 ThatIs true. They don’t seem like they are taken care of right well with their upwards development and different sectors within the company and actual regular mandatory breaks. I do wonder though obviously, considering everyone knew that there was going to be a camera crew or camera person coming in, how much of this was like real life. I hope he love this channel, but you never know just how much of this is meant to look better than it really is and usually the work might be a little bit more lazy in other job sectors, or could actually be a lot more abusive than it is projected here.

As a German I've known Zwilling for a long time now and was a bit surprised, that they actually manufacture in Japan, but it makes totally sense. Took a look on their homepage, and it turns out you can even send in your old Zwilling knifes for 7€ (in Germany) and get them sharpen them for you. That's really cheap, if you ask me. Like their homepage says: "Find out, why Japanese craftsmanship and German precision are the perfect combination" (translated from German to English). Maybe one of my next knifes will be one of them as well :D

Yes it’s hard to find a lot of women represented on this channel where they are actually given such high and equal opportunities like this. True she has to work very long hours but the amount that she actually gets to do and as a result the amount of opportunities this will provide is brilliant. And like you said, it is amazing that Paolo was still given access to this place and others. I want to hurry up she goes about the process in the first place? Does he just approach individuals online after doing a shout out about something he wants to look at, or does he just go to individual types of companies and they go around asking individuals at their companies whether they would be interested? either way it must be quite stressful for an individual to set up, but looking at the end result it definitely feels worth it.

[@racclements263]

My dad has quite a few Japanese knives, this video makes me appreciate the craftsmanship , and procedures to be able to recognise such a top-quality knife.

she makes the Miyabi knives I use in my videos ❤️😀👍

Wow I think it's sharp like katana.

[@snowecaddel9454]

I love your channel!!! ❤

[@benhasel4540]

It's crazy how dedicated and professionals are the Japanese even at such young age. Right away with a master in their craft mindset

I'am from Germany and a huge Zwilling Fan. The knives are good at a reasonable price.

I love this series, it shows how valuable and precious everyone truly is. Also shows the different sides of different positions. Love it.

[@ashadeva5077]

I always like your narration in the video Paolo! Engaging and entertaining to listen to it! Also great video!!Paolo, luv these "Day in the life of " videos

[@TheMetalfreak360]

I love that Paolo just wanders around and end up in the manager's office.

[@andreagonzales6800]

Japanese People are really passionate about their jobs and I can't help but admired them because of how thoughtful they are with every job they have. Its making me want to experience their job.

[@michaelbuckner5374]

I like how the country is so neat and the people are polite

[@waxedearth5425]

I appreciate the fact the company provides meals. Having to leave and get something to eat everyday can be a hassle sometimes.

[@ct11002000]

I love all the videos in this series but this was probably the most fascinating day in the life video for me. I watched it twice. It's amazing to see all that goes into making quality knives. The company really takes cares of their employees and it shows. Very cool! Plus Nene's apartment is really nice.

[@danielwhyatt3278]

Oh 100% about the apartment. That was actually a really nice space. From what we’ve been used to, especially for young workers in Japan, they always have to have what feels like to a lot of us, very small apartments, but hers was a very nice comfortable balance size and nicely kitted out. Honestly, I hope this isn’t a first world tone here, but it really feels like this size should be the standard allocated to all people to allow expression and growth as a person in the world, not just in Japan. It really does feel at the right balance amount of space that we should all have the right to have for our early and later ages. So many of us now probably won’t be able to get homes of this size like the old generations did, unless we work insanely and unfairly hard or get insanely lucky with an apartment or in the countryside. She clearly has the work really long hours, but I guess considering she gets to at least have more countryside air and has this much home space it is worth it.

[@CJ-sg3vs]

I just recently purchased my first zwilling knives . I have to say I will never need another knife. They are awesome

[@jasperherr8694]

like dyson in the vaccum world?

[@CrippedGinge]

I have loved Japanese knives for about 20 years now. 3 years ago on my honeymoon I picked up a knife from a store in Tokyo and its just so good. This was still an eye opening video and a great production from you Paolo, keep up the good work.

[@roboliver9980]

Thank you Paolo. These knives 🔪 no longer seem expensive when you consider the work and expertise put into them. Great content.

[@foureyeddragon00]

Loved that this video was half day in the life, half showing off these awesome knives and this company.

[@Beaut_Beau]

What incredible work they do! The level of concentration, attention to detail and skill is amazing, makes you you really understand why these knive are more expensive than the usual mass produced ones and why people that own them are so proud of them too!

[@shawnallanwebb7084]

Just wow, I never realized the amount of work that was put in for these knives, from design, to production, to shipment. The level of delicate care and quality control. It's not just an industrial conveyer belt of metal that sharpened, and polished and sold, they actually study the angles, aesthetics, and comfortability of use, and of course sharpness. I'm definitely getting a honcho knife!!

[@porkysoda5899]

As a restaurant worker I really appreciate this video.

[@mnemonic6502]

I really appreciate the genuine uplifting humanity portrayed, I like seeing the choices people made and how they live their everyday normal lives. For the most other KZbin channels and other social mediocrity crap are a juxtapostition against reality and purpose! Keep doing what you do Paolo.

[@vandriff]

This one was really fun and fascinating to watch. I had a smile the entire time. Thanks to Nene for letting us peek at her day! She works so hard, as do her coworkers. It's great to see all of these companies providing you access to their facilities and their workers. Zwilling J.A. Henckels seems like a great company and dedicated to their product and craft. Another fantastic video, Paolo -- Appreciate all the incredible effort that goes into making these.

[@formernorcal2530]

What quality and craftmanship!

[@halonut96]

you know, every time I watch these videos and I hear and see food prices (as a canadian) my mouth starts salivating at how cheap it is, just another reason I want to move to japan, love the architecture, love the culture, love the food, love the technological progressiveness

Paolo from Tokyo does it again! Day in the life series is your best content! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@junggoogie]

I have the knife Yamada is holding in the video and I love it so much! I get many compliments on it at my job saying how beautiful the knife is and it really is! The birchwood handle adds an elegant and unique look and the best part is that over time the handle will darken due to the natural oils from your hands from the constant touching of the wood.

[@fujitofusan]

Japanese really takes pride in all their line of works. im impressed!

[@uonakelep]

The day in the life videos are my favourites!! I love Paolo's natural approach in presenting each person's life without invading their privacy...please make a video on how you create these videos.

[@JasonGrace69]

These videos are sometimes perfect ads for these companies and I'm all for it, I keep watching each new one you release. I want that Birchwood knife really bad now

[@crothas]

I own about a dozen knifes from this company, I got my first one when I really got into cooking back in 2016. Sucker still holds a super sharp blade to this day. Awesome video, was cool to see where my knives got made. Also that new prototype knife would look good in my collection when it comes out 👀 Me and the Production manager have good taste it seems. We both have the same favorite knife.

[@Captain_Kebap]

I'm glad to hear you like our knives. Greetings from Germany. -An employee of Zwilling Headquarters

[@tyrewald9083]

I own Zwilling, Opinel and Windmühle. W. is my preferred knife, because it is made of staining steel, therefore very sharp for a very long time, very thin, cutting is very easy and fast. Sharpening, too. O. is a penknife, same as with W.. They offer also kitchen knives. Both are cheaper and better, but not a fashion.

[@cranberryeater7459]

For someone to have their career focused on knife making, her knife handling skills are horrible.

[@duncanmcewan1049]

We bought 3 of the Miyabi knives when living in Singapore - the high end "yellow" ones and while extremly expensive, are the best knives we have ever owned. Nice to know that they were made in that factory :)

[@oceanaxim]

These will probably be knives that will be passed down for generations. Money well spent.

[@ezekielk.3629]

Did you order it online and were there any issue with Customs Regulation? (Singaporean here)

[@duncanmcewan1049]

@@ezekielk.3629 Nooo - We bought them in Takashimiya in Ngee Ann City. They had the "lower quality" red ones on display but when we asked, they up-sold us the yellow ones. Only difference is something like folded 64 times vs 132 times. Either would be amazing knives. We got the 600MCD which have a "Western style" handle, but you can get various handles, like bamboo, ebony etc. They are as much art work as knives and worth the $$. Now the range is something like the 5000 or 6000 i think.

[@melodyleong]

How do you keep it sharpened? I ruined a knife once by trying to sharpen it. A bit afraid of spending too much on knives now...

[@tonycarpaccio9550]

@@melodyleong Knives of this quality do not need sharpened often. I am a professional chef and have had a Miyabi Chef's knife for two years without sharpening only "honing" to correct the bends and disfigurement at the edge of the blade. Look up how to use a ceramic honing rod.

[@srutirose]

We need more of these ' a day in the life' videos. I love japan and i have watched many of these from your channel. The more i watch i want to know more about japanese people and their lives.
