[@organiccitric7632]

I wouldn't say Legend. A normal employed person normally take their failures and turn it into success. I fail many time in my company, but as long I improve going forward and don't make the same mistake, you only make it better. As long you accept a failure, and use that failure as a learning lesson, you can be successful in life. This guy is no different then any other dedicated worker.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! ❤️😊

What I totally love about Japan are humility and equality. From your "Day in the Life" videos, I see how humble they are and how one job is not considered as more prestigious than others. Other than this, the sense of duty, following schedule and respecting others as well as one's time are extremely great things about work life Japan.

[@gaia8840]

As far as equality...It is far from true. Why most people you see in the videos do see to be in prestigiuous jobs is because it's all jobs that are conserving japanese culture. ( Food in this case ). Japan love people who work into jobs that are rooted in old traditions so they have a lot of respect. But if truly every work was equal, why do you think parents put so much pressure for kids to go at the top unis, and get the top jobs

I admit that when I first came to live in Japan I absolutely hated natto. I could not even handled the smell of it . Now, I could not start my day without it. A small bowl of hot rice and natto with raw egg stir into it is a perfect breakfast meal for me .

[@julesverneinoz]

First time I had it, I just... couldn't, not sure why. At some point 4 years later, I was curious to try it again and was "Oh my God, this is so good!" The mustard was what made the difference for me and the hint of smokiness. I bought a variety of natto and the ones that didn't come with mustard was edible, but not amazing.

[@shamidkpzd]

My main thing is the texture. I don’t mind the taste, but I can’t get past the texture.

[@julesverneinoz]

@@shamidkpzd If it's the slimy texture, the are non-slimy ones now, like one of the varieties they make at this place. I actually don't prefer it because it taste just like eating (boiled/steam) beans on rice. In 2014 when I first had it, the texture was also one of the factor I couldn't get past but 6 years later I actually prefer the slimy texture. My theory is maybe back then it was unknown but since my body didn't react unfavorably to it and maybe even benefit from it, my brain might've greenlighted natto as 'safe'. That said, I also liked mushrooms and mochi, foods that one friend of mine considered 'slimy' and does not touch.

[@kirbyesque]

I also eat it quite frequently- when I first had it in Japan I didn’t even know what it was. I just like beans, so between the rice, sauce and scallions it was delicious. Makes a simple, healthy dinner as well.

[@Terahnee]

My teen went the other way. The first time they had natto when we lived in Japan they were about 4 years old. I didn't like it, but I didn't say anything when they had a natto roll with their set meal one day. They loved it. We bought it for them a lot. They still liked it until they were... about 10. Now they don't like it any more.

Long time fan here! I usually don’t comment on KZbin but I gotta show some love and let you know this is definitely one of my favorite channels on here. Loving all the videos keep up the great work! Much love from Dallas, Texas

[@beesknees947]

This is great! My goodness I miss nattou so much...! Their nattou must be amazing. I had so much nice nattou when I lived in Tohoku. And all of those different kinds of soybeans... YUM.

[@Krissshereee]

Without your videos, I wouldn’t know this much about Japan. ❤️

[@gewglesux]

LOADS of content providers on YT about Japan...

[@Krissshereee]

@@gewglesux I prefer his….

@@Krissshereee As you wish.

I love how there's an electric guitar just sitting randomly in the corner of the little office. I mean, with everything going on, when does one have time to play? Are they shredding some crazy natto inspired riffs for customers? Another educational and fun video. Truthfully, your videos convey such a personal feeling with each one I watch. Keep up the excellent work!

[@evaniceface]

I’m secretly hoping that guitar is used for natto songs

[@kydiecardillo]

Watching your videos made me realize how vast japan's culture is. It's seriously amazing.

[@Boomdizzle99]

Hes living a good life! Laid back and he looks like he loves his job! Awesome Paolo

[@keziafangasan1241]

I really love watching A Day in the Life series, even the other videos. It's not only fun to watch but educational. 😄

“Well my hair is all natural, his is fake” 🤣🤣🤣💀💀 I’m dying

[@annwilliams6438]

Or is it ‘dyeing’? ;)

[@rosiern7386]

Love these! Other jobs I would love to see in Japan: Teacher/Professor, Nurse/Doctor/Healthcare worker, Artist

[@itselfie]

Wow japan just always gives me that peaceful vibe, the streets and the cherry blossoms and everything! Would love to visit there one day ☺

[@joshuavalbuena7795]

Hi Paolo, I absolutely love your 'day in the life' series! I'm hooked! Could you do more of these on people working in creative fields? Maybe artists, illustrators, painters, designers, fashion designers, actors and writers? Greetings from Aruba in the Caribbean!

[@firefly618]

Thank you Paolo, I love the look and feel of cozy Japanese neighborhoods, houses, small businesses, train stations... it's so nostalgic to me! I need to go back to Japan some day.

[@Irelandfubenlife1916]

とっても興味深い！こんな若い人が作ってるとか素晴らしい✨

[@theriseofanime]

This one has to be my favorite video so far. I love that it covered a job unique to japan.

[@riohashimoto7185]

I've been eating natto for my entire life; I grew up with it. So thank you for teaching more people about it. Oh my god you even taught them about egg natto; praise you!!!!

[@storyofwill]

I love your day in life series. Please keep making!!!

[@5kyfall2017]

I always loved natto ever since I was a kid. So glad to see a video on it!!!

[@esgeemo7886]

I really love the dress sense of Japanese people, I live in London and I always admire how effortless yet stylish they look!

[@barry8458]

Love my Natto…didn’t know the process was so intensive…grew up with it… love to be able to try those special ones they make !..

[@makeda6530]

Even though it looks like a lot of tasks in a day it actually looks like a pretty chill work environment. And Kazu is a handsome guy. Hehe

[@johnpower9652]

It always blows my mind how much time, care and diligence the Japanese community put into everything..food, cars, delivery, transportation, everything. So amazing,

[@kannot1]

Living with your parents is so underrated👀💕 it's awesome and financially liberating🥰

[@Taggez1]

I wish I could do that. But you’re expected to move out after high school in my country 😢

[@amjadzidan2832]

This series is one of the best ever on KZbin, I know you have a small team Paolo but please consider making more of this content I really love seeing it.

[@projectlifewithred805]

This was a very interesting window view of a smaller business, I hope you will do more of these in the future! I really enjoyed this one, thank you for posting! ♥

[@darkwing3713]

So impressed with this modern and traditional company!

[@ALAPINO]

Moms are the best (generally speaking) no matter where you live! (Natto's pretty okay where I am, mainly imported from Japan mass produced stuff, sometimes domestically made stuff that's decent. This company looks like special stuff!)

[@ScarletShade13]

"Life is so easy right now," I felt that. Being coddled by ones parents is nice from time to time :)

[@einerhans3963]

Sehr schön, Japan und die Japaner in ihrem Alltag so authentisch und Nah kennen zu lernen.

[@MensRestroom]

Japanese culture and cuisine is amazing.

[@K.M-c9p]

These "day in the life vids" are always fun and informative

[@donandaileenkim-santoso521]

Your channel inspired me to start eating natto and now its become a regular breakfast meal. Thanks Paolo!

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

Really, really nice!!! Production of natto was a joy to see. I’ve never seen it and was fascinated with the wood paper. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Beautiful work 🙌🏽

[@evaniceface]

10:33 I really appreciate how they don’t use styrofoam. Using mostly natural compostable products is helpful for keeping their environment clean

[@GameFuMaster]

well the purpose of the red wood is to get rid of the smell. Don't think styrofoam would do the same
