I Visited the Wildest Japanese Street Food Chef in Osaka (Izakaya Toyo)

I made a visit to the CRAZIEST Japanese Street Food vendor in Osaka Japan called Izakaya Toyo. Toyo has been featured on a Netflix Documentary where his unique flame-throwing method of cooking gained a mass amount of attention globally.
Seeing him work his magic in person was not only amazing, but very respectable given he really prioritizes the flavor and quality of his dishes over anything else (even his hand's health) haha.

i've seen him on Netflix !! His story is so ... 😢

[@Ohhcrystaal]

Hearing his story almost made me tear up… 🥹 thanks for sharing this with us Patricia!

[@richardcooper]

so touching when you had a photo with him at the end, ;) amazing video as always and a pleasure to watch!

[@poppinmycollar]

This was a bucket list item I was grateful to have gone to when I went in June. He's so cool and the vibe of the place is so lively and fun. And the food is fresh and incredible.

[@etherdog]

Pretty cool. Pato and Shun-chan! This guy is iconic like the omurice maker in Kyoto and the mochi pounder in Nara.

[@tkondaks]

...or the beer-drinking restaurant owner in Osaka who told Pato she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

[@Opai081]

Thanks Patricia! That will be added to my list when I go to Osaka in 6 months!

[@bryanandjulie-ns2ul]

Wow totally awsome place and chef , thanks for sharing!

[@myarmfell0ff]

What an awesome guy. I'm glad gus life is much better now! He seems so happy in what he does.

[@tomawen5916]

Great video! Just recently learned of your channel (and your "camera man" btw). This is akin to the privately owned diner on back country roads which serves only locals but produces fantastic food!

[@seanleon2766]

Watching your video was so relaxing 😌

[@edwinrosales6322]

Great video!

[@dazuotv]

Thank you for the very nice video visiting the wildest street food chef in Osaka 👍

[@LIT70]

Thank you!! I'm going to Japan in March 2024. I'll make it a point to visit him!

[@ruffneck119]

Awesome spot. I'll hit it up in November! Would be super cool running into you all shooting when I'm there in Tokyo/Osaka.

[@kennytam864]

Awesome~~ can feel the good vibe all the way from Singapore

[@whatthepato]

so eager to go to Singapore one of these days!

[@Dimaz42]

you'd never expect that behind those cheery smiles and lively attitudes lies a dark past.. which probably applies to some people in our lives, or ourselves

[@caljamz]

Thanks for the Vid! Trying to plan my trip with my HS friends (all Filipino) and I'll be the translator. I'll definitely be swinging by here.

[@whatthepato]

That’s so cool you can speak both languages! Have fun :)

[@allenericson8038]

That place looked so cool and he seemed so nice….

[@climatixseuche]

I waved at my monitor at the end ... what a wholesome guy

[@PotatoCouch666]

i know of him! definitely going to visit when i am in Osaka!

[@texasrose2315]

I love cilantro and Japanese food. My brother in law's mother was from Japan. I loved going to her home. Everything she made was beautiful and delicious. I live in Oregon as well. Kind regards. ❤

[@hacnguyen5201]

What a sweet guy. 👏👍

[@mythrildega]

What a lovely guy running the shop

[@demzre]

What an adorable man!

[@gwei316]

Was there 3 weeks ago, love the food and atmosphere. Was able to get a picture with him when we were leaving as well.

[@whatthepato]

so sweet and glad you were able to get a picture!

[@Potsnu]

Was there a line up when you went?

[@gwei316]

@@Potsnu we got there 20 minutes before he opens and we were number 3 on line.

1:10 The zoom-in for some reason makes this even funnier Great video BTW!

[@adammendoza3503]

This is So kool… and the food looks awesome… ❤❤❤

[@whatthepato]

great atmosphere with lots of young and fun people. I love how lively it was but how much he cared for each customer

[@peekaboopeekaboo1165]

I'm going in OCT, hope the wait isn't too bad.

[@whatthepato]

I heard the lines are over an hour long now but I guess it depends on time/ day! Hope you get to go :)

[@101akar]

i actually thought you made a hyper realistic video - the flame actually got to your cheek making it look reddish ! 0:02 , the video - Sore wa jigoku no yō ni atsuidesu

[@marx1189]

Beautiful video! ❤ What Netflix documentary are you referring to? I would love to watch it!

I was wondering where the US accent came from, being from CA originally and now living in OR it sounded familiar 😁

[@StrongStyleNinja]

I watched his documentary. Come a very long way. I wish to visit this man.

Me too! It really inspired me to go!

this was pre-borders opening up!

[@haniffhussein]

Patricia why are some of your reels on insta not uploaded on youtube? is that intentional

[@samsonite8400]

You look Filipino Asian like 100%. On a scale of being mixed white, you still look 95% Asian. Your hair just has light color but your physique is definitely Asian. Filipino Asian bone structure.

[@user-bh5wr3gc3f]

開店の時200人くらい並んでなかった？　 でも待っただけあっておいしいよね

[@CaptLatte]

Were you just there? Why are folks wearing jackets when it's crazy hot in Osaka right now.

[@EnGieBenGie90]

You have such an Irish Name lol

[@Bangbangboom51]

been to his shop. food is average maybe slightly better to those 100yen sushi place but price is at least 3x. Blowtorch tuna is meh, sashimi was better.

[@whatthepato]

I also preferred the sashimi personally, but wanted the tuna cheek for the experience.
