I don't know if this man will even see this comment, but I'd just like to say I admire how he lives. I've seen videos of him before, and I love that he does what he enjoys and in turn his enthusiasm for his work spreads joy to other people. I wish him well, and a long and happy life.

[@trent617tw]

Yeah, he seems like a very kind individual. The cleaning though, I think he is required to do that as part of the gig.

[@BC3789]

I assume it was mandatory to clean the street section, but whether it is or isn't, he did a fantastic job all the way through.

[@iamgroooooot]

I can't believe he's doing this all by himself. I've never seen such a hardworking person like him in my life. I hope I can visit Japan and try to eat in your stall 😭He's the kind of person you want to be surrounded by. Please take care of your health. So much admiration from you! LOTS OF LOVE

[@harrylee27]

Taking 2.5 hours to clean up everyday, I'm even reluctant to spend few minutes to do laundry using washing and dryer machine every week. Despite being busy all day, his home is as clean as new, and he still smiles like a kid. I don't really have anything to complain about, after watching his story.

[@user-dt2sm5eh9t]

This man is an amazing person. He is a person with a great outlook on life. No matter how hard and tiring he works, he always smiles and laughs and cracks jokes and has fun. I truly admire his perseverance and commitment to the career he loves. Truly amazing.

[@deathdragonslayer1]

6 trips daily to haul that heavy stall/kitchen to-and-fro + supplies (Set-up + dismantle), clean the public area around the stall + collect the waste, wash the bowls/plates and pots back at the office. I'm guessing that's also where he sleeps. And his day isn't even done at 5.15am-5.30am coz he needs to eat dinner/breakfast before heading to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for the following work day. This is taking hard work and dedication to a whole different level. He does all these with enthusiasm and joy which is infectious. His attitude and discipline is something to behold. Respect. Wishing him a long, healthy and happy life.
