so tell me do you think he butchers whole chickens and serves different parts of it throughout the cources? I just have NO idea how he'd turn a profit. this is bordering on just inviting your friends over for dinner

[@ManOfLegs]

@@FluXxxie I think through good word of mouth and local clientele being well off with set schedules. A good weekly rotation of regulars probably does turn up a decent profit. It's not too many customers, nor too little.

@@kylepatton2423 I may have put a different way but I agree. There was a time in the US and the West in general that tattoos had a distinct stigma but now 1/3 of suburban soccer moms driving crossovers have full tattoo sleeves so it definitely doesn't have a dangerous or artistic person feel to it anymore.

[@eshoandy]

EVERY single item looked delicious. The chef seemed so kind and down to Earth. What an experience! Love from Chicago!

[@GordonIsFreeman]

But i bet it isn't delicious at all in European terms. It's look like Japanese just eat salted mushroom cooked in oil. Is it delicious? No it isnt. Salted chicken with some cabbage? No it's not delicious. Ramen with some shallots and soy sauce and shrooms with soy sauce? It's not delicious at all. I think Japanese people just eat everything only salted and for them is delicious - for me what i've seen here nothing could be delicious because it's only raw ingridients cooked added salt or soy sauce and thats it. I want to visit japan but i think food will be tasteless as shit. It looks like they they eat tasteless food with some (not enough) salt and WOW what a taste it is. No taste at all. Even their sushi by european standarts... Yes maybe it's ok you have to taste different kind of raw fish. But you know how different kind of fish tastes? Like fucking raw fish. Added sugary soy sauce here and there on Nigiri oh wow. Tuna fat not fat or whatever? Lets grill it a bit - DOES NOT TASTE better at all just same fucking tuna why i spent so much on it? I mean i think japan people have 1000x more taste receptors in their tongue because i cannot feel it. I can't understand it. Everytime i watch Japanese video on food i just think it's tasteless as fuck. And i think im right.

[@Empress.420]

Can't do it in America. They'll call the cops or report you. Even the neighbors here snitch people out. When jealously kicks in, it's terrible. Smh. You have to have a licenses for everything, take classes and pay for tests, and spend hundreds of dollars before being able to open a restaurant here or any small shops. People are quick to blackmail you or even try to sue you here. It's crazy.

[@MrMadvillan]

Also small business taxes are chill and eveeyone is happy to use cash. Japan is the most prosmall business country, puts the us to shame. In the US, if your small business doesn’t make $5m a year it’s a failure.

[@acooksla]

As a chef myself and culinary teacher, this guy has mad knife skills! All my Japanese students do, 👏👏👏

[@bobotmeister]

I love this small hidden places. The amount of customers and the chef only makes it a more personal experience.

[@o0nick]

For customers it's amazing. Usually these kinds of places can only exist though because the owner works his ass off with little to no profit and no free time for himself. As he mentioned in the video, financially it's a struggle

[@flip7081]

As a 51 white american with tats who knows almost no Japanese, this is the kind of thing that makes me feel I could move to Japan and not be lonely. I know Japanese people are lovely as a whole, and you can get around not really speaking the language, but the tats are a concern.

[@FriendxA]

move to tokyo and your language wont matter, even yokohama. Most Japanese under the age of 40 likely speak better English than you do, if not use google translate. It's how i got around during my year in Japan. Truly a heavenly place, especially during the cherry blossom festival!
