Day in the Life of a Japanese Master Chef

A day in the life of Japanese Master Chef in Tokyo Japan. Working in Japan as a masterchef in Tokyo not only must you prepare delicious food in your Japanese restaurant, but must also throughout the Japanese work day, manage all the different staff, issues and business requirements. Life in Japan for a Japanese Chef working in Tokyo is quite demanding so a Master Chef in Japan must have passion for his work. Life in Toyo for a Japanese world class chef or a Japanese expert chef is also challenging because of the long work hours. In fact, the average working day in Japan for many salarymen or Japanese office workers are quite long, but a Japanese master chef can also have long Japanese work day hours, especially if the Master Chef in Japan has to run multiple restaurants. Japan food industry is also competitive so food quality is key and regular food tastings are a must. Born in Kobe, known for its mountains, ocean, sake and Kobe Beef as well as traveling the world, all helped inspire Hal Yamashita to create a new style cuisine called Shin Washoku, which utilizes modern techniques to bring out the full potential of Japanese ingredients. One of Hal’s specialties is his Signature rolled Kobe-Beef filled with Sea Urchin and topped with smoked caviar. But as master chef, he’s able to prepare Kobe Beef in many different ways making his Japanese restaurant one of the best places to eat Japanese Kobe Beef in Tokyo. Hal's main Japanese restaurant is called Hal Yamashita Tokyo in Roppongi Midtown and in this video we also visit Tokyo Entotsu and Hal Yamashita Otemachi Lounge. This is Japan work day of a Japanese master chef.

[@platonicexorcism5077]

Jacky Phantom Then that’s not a fact, it’s a stereotype. I have the opposite impression; Chinese/korean friends of mine are equally hard working and diligent at what they do. Check what you’re saying my guy; it’s not true whatsoever and just anecdotal experience is a very good indication that your opinion is totally inaccurate, maybe even racist.

[@platonicexorcism5077]

Jacky Phantom You are not right because you have no proof. Saying “oh that’s how it SEEMS to me” doesn’t proof jack shit.

[@platonicexorcism5077]

Jacky Phantom Because it’s not the truth. Stereotypes that negatively project “other” people, are usually based around racist stereotypes. I agree that stereotypes have some basis in truth, but in this instance assuming that certain Asian people are lazy is encouraging hate. Have you personally had friendships with Chinese people? Learned things about them outside of the media? Talking about Chinese in a racist way is unsurprising considering we’re in a trade war in the US with the Chinese government, but it’s important to remember that it’s both overblown and doesn’t apply to the people. It’s the government that’s shitty, not the people.

Amazing. The master chef is such a hard worker and the foods are looking amazing !!! Created to perfection! The restaurants look great too . Love Japan 🇯🇵❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Paolo for making these amazing videos

[@THuuDo]

I LOVE your day in the life videos. You do such a great job working with each person you feature, and they’re all so interesting! Great job! Sending you and your family best wishes from Massachusetts!

I like this chef, he is hard working, disiplinden and very respectful. Excellent character. Hope to eat at one of his restrauntrs one day.

And that's the issue most people have. They don't know the amount of effort it takes to run a successful business. They think that they can just open a business, "chill" by hiring people, and become an absentee owner. No, to be successful you're gonna need to work 12 hour days. All that 4 hour work day/week is BS for the most part. To get to that point, it takes a lot of effort. If it was so "easy" to be a successful owner everybody would be doing it.

[@GameFuMaster]

@@arcadion448 A 4 hour work week is built upon years of 12 hour work days 7 days a week. So it's not entirely BS, but not "i opened a business, now I retire"

[@caninho1]

working like that is probably fun, but i'd need much much more sleep than 5 hours.

[@Flo-ck8fx]

@@arcadion448 its possible to "chill" later on like only work 3 days a week. depends on the business of course tho.

[@josealejandrong7846]

He's not just a boss, he's a teacher. He teach his employees and make them improve by example. No matter how many times you have to make it, do it until you get it right and keep up the standard. Just like my father used to tell me sometimes "Don't use your time to be sorry son, use it to be better". Love this series of videos @Paolo fromTOKYO in the life of people's daily routine. Thx for showing!

[@lostinhorizon8341]

Paolo I'm so happy for your achievement, I think you have finally found the main attraction for your channel. i subscribed your channel I think when your channel still has 90k. Anyway I support this series. Please make more Day in the Life in other professions such as Flight Attendant, Pilot (lol.. i know maybe too hard to find one who agree to this), doctor, nurse, Japanese HS student, Japanese courier, girls who work at maid cafe.. Oh probably the best, Day in the Life of Maiko in Kyoto

[@xander9711]

It's inspiring to see someone so dedicated to their passion and on top of that this guy is so compassionate to all his staff to the point he will open stores with them. Hopefully covid-19 doesn't affect his businesses too much :/

[@dansmith1661]

More like if government meddling doesn't affect his businesses too much.

[@andrea-ti2bc]

Did anyone noticed how the masterchef isn't your typical japanese guy that focuses on seniority and age and old time tradition? Anyone noticed how his staff seems so comfortable with him? the first meeting the staff didn't even stood up (which is extremely impolite for traditional japanese), he was the closest to the door and his secretary seems so bright and smiling and not the straight back, hands folded secretary of other people.

[@duncanmcewan1049]

I think this is the best one i have seen so far (even better than the Shinkansen one!) This guy shows how the food business should be. High standards that everyone needs to meet will ensure that his customers go back time and time again. One bad experience can ruin a restaurant for people. Definitely a dedicated true professional who cooks as well as manages :)

[@CruelViper88]

I have been in Japan...and I'm curious about "Day in the Life" of a AC Engineer. It's almost mandatory to have a Air Conditioner (AC) in Japan...so the engineers must have a lot of work at their hands.
