Paolo, I think an amazing video would be how konbini food is made. I can't wrap my head around how fast so many convenience stores are able to restock on freshly made prepared foods.

Many 7 elevens in Japan have their cooking area. The seven eleven off of Ebisu station and also near shibuya have their setups right next to the cash register. The fry karaage tempura fishcakes etc. An employee told me they replenish about 6am and 2pm for products that are wrapped.

Paola, you give us Americans justice. Having lived in Okinawa on an army base many years ago, the culture being shared is phenomenal. Most people don’t understand what it’s like living there, and you politely and correctly share what it’s like to live in Japan. Thanks for being KZbin famous 👍

[@thomasji7614]

I miss Izakayas in Japan, ones in USA are similar but still not the same. Thanks for this video, have a great weekend!

[@nish221100]

You're not going to the right Izakayas.. :-) The best ones are very close to the ones in Japan. However, they are rare (whereas in Japan they're seemingly a bunch in every town).

[@加納栄子]

アメリカにも大きな街なら日本人が経営している居酒屋やお寿司屋さん、ラーメン屋さんがはあると思います。知り合いに日本人がいれば聞いてみるといいと思います。東洋人は見た目は似てますが、食文化が違いますので日本人以外が経営している日本食レストランや居酒屋は日本のそれとはかけ離れています。

Paolo can we please get a day in the life that features an expat? Someone who moved to Japan to do something really interesting!

[@Jordan-inJapan]

Izakayas have great food and atmosphere. For anyone planning to visit Japan, I highly recommend spending some time in these places - you can find them almost anywhere - for a drink, a tasty bite, and authentic Japanese atmosphere. And yes, they usually are kid friendly as well. As usual, thanks for the great content, Paolo. Very useful info for any would-be visitors to Japan!🍻

[@nicetomeetyoutsu]

I agree! Izakayas are for local people, not tourists. But I think this is a good reason to go if you are a tourist!

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Eggs are cheap dude. Western cafes restaraunts etc rip everyone off.

[@steemlenn8797]

@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Cheap is relative. If one egg costs them wholeprice 10 cent (and I am damn sure it's more) and they use 2 eggs, if you put the profitability factor on it, it's already 80cent. (restaurants usually go with 4, I think a small izakaya in expensive Tokyo would not be less) Add other stuff and there is really not much profit in it. And in teh case of omelets, at a western restaurant (if you can even get them), you also pay for not choosing one of the more expensive dishes.

right off the bat, one con would be expensive ass housing for a pretty small amount of land. small apartments alone would likely be a shit ton of money, so financial caution is advised

Ah..Some People misunderstand it from title 'Restaurant', It's basically a 'Bar' for targeting a Man want to some alcohol pass way home. You are already know that if you want to drink alcohol at home in Japan, You buy everything it convenience store way to home. Then, Those type Izakaya serves some light cooked hot appetizers not existing convenience store with they order alcohol drink, for customer unit prices over $10.
