[@targun6063]

I think that even if one of the partners isn't working fulltime it's important to help out with chores. It strengthens your relationship because you're doing things together, including the things you might not like. It also frees up time for the both of you to spend more quality time together, or with the family. Of course, one can expect the parttimer working or unemployed partner do more of the chores, but still.

I love learning new things and this series never fails me. Thank you for that! I was always under the impression that panko was made by spraying dough against very hot steel plates and seeing loaves of bread being shredded, took me by surprise. Thank you again, especially for highlighting the daily routine and cultural practices of other countries. 🙏

[@restaurantman]

The traditional method shown in the video, originated during the mid-1800s (The Meiji Period). That method utilizes Shokupan bread which is baked and processed into Panko flakes. The electrode method that you're referencing, was popularized after WWII. It is primarily used by industrial factories to produce mass quantities.

Small businessmen are all like that. You gotta learn the ropes yourself before you even think of teaching to your employees. It's not a racial or national thing.

That's not true. The bosses in many Japanese corporations and companies are treated like gods and if you disrespect them (even just a little bit) you can get fired. Furthermore, with your logic the Japanese emperor or prime minister clean their own toilets. Small business owners in every country are mostly humble, it's not a Japanese thing.

The impressive part is that the panko owner has to be an expert at everything. The manufacturing of the panko, marketing, logistics, business strategy, being a cleaner, and even being a chef teaching customers the cooking of panko. I'm also impressed that he has so much energy because he only has about 4.5 hours of sleep each night.

[@jrcat2258]

Honestly the fact that he's doing everything himself is probably just because the business isn't making much money. It doesn't look like he's living in a super fancy house and he works crazy long hours, but it's not making him rich. My cousin is in a similar situation; she and her husband own a bakery and they work 12 to 16 hour days, but they're only just middle class. If you ever start your own business, it's totally fine to put in that much time. However, if you can't afford to slow down after 3 to 5 years and/or it's not making you rich, then the business is maybe not for you. Getting up that early every day and working that much will catch up to you at some point. In the video, you can tell that all the machines are old. Maybe they're well-maintained, but definitely old. I also got the feeling that the process could be automated much more. There's also signs of leakage even in the office side of the building.

[@Jonathan-cz4ky]

@@matthewmatthew638 This company while it has a factory and over a dozen workers would definitely still be considered a small business by US standards. Not only this but it’s a family business, one that’s spanned 3 generations. Of course he would be very involved in the day to day operations than a CEO that was just hired to increase sales. He doesn’t have the type of company you’re thinking with something like a “board” and there’s a company building/headquarters with hundreds or thousands of workers. This is how many people with their own business his size operate. In the sense of I need everything to be done the correct way, I want my customers to see my face and know who the owner of this business is, create good relations and that’s how you keep customers (along with a good product). It’s going to be more difficult to do that if you’re sitting at an office desk talking over the phone or delegating that task to somebody else unless you’re Walmart.
