Thank you Paolo! We woke up this morning wanting to take a walk, but weren't sure where. Then we watched your video and decided to go to Asakusa and grab dinner there. This is such a great place. The food is so amazing and we talked with Sasagawa-san for a bit because there was a lull in the business. The beef stew was so delicious. And the potato salad. And we topped it off with the minced katsu. Soooo oishii. We told him we came because of you video, but he said he hadn't seen it yet because he is so busy (hardest working man in the yoshoku business). This restaurant is amazingly clean, especially for how long it's been open. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I don't know why I got a bit teary eyed watching this... they work so hard even the grandma 91 years old. I was stressed just watching him work.. no wonder his legs hurt. there was this lady at the japanese restaurant here in the states who worked 7 days a week, I never saw her rest. she got a heart attack & passed recently. :( after she passed, the husband moved back to Japan.I hope this family can get some r&r even amidst the busy schedule (although it's probably hard to ever close down food businesses, sigh).

Paulo I have watched all your behind the counter videos but this one really touched me. Just the way the family interacts with one another, from the 91 year old grandmother still working with an oxygen tank, and making a comment about her grandson going to see his girlfriend instead of working in the shop, to the way the owner talks about making time to still have dinner with his kids, I really feel like you captured the essence of what it means to be a family. It was really honest and heartwarming

Dear Paolo, Please tell the owner to change his shoes if his leg pain persists. It also happened to me bec I tried a new brand of European made kitchen clogs & it was ill fitting. I hate those type of “free time” crocs, an ex-colleague of mine slipped, fell then banged her head on a stainless table leg & I had to summon an ambulance in a middle of a crazy service time. She was wearing the same type of crocs as the owner in this video. There are crocs called bistro for chefs or change to Birkenstock. In my professional career as a chef for 2 decades Birkenstocks never failed.

What's amazing is that he single-handedly cooks almost all of the food. He definitely needs another chef who can take over if he gets sick. And he deserves praise for the cleanliness of the place, in high contrast to the historic seafood place you visited that had more staff and needed a deep cleaning. I was surprised he still watched his TV show while prepping on a day when he knew he was being filmed. Made it that much more realistic.

The impression I got is that the father was "forced" into this line of work by pretty hard life circumstances. He made the best of it, but it doesn't mean this would have been his first choice. It's nice that he wants more for his son, but being 21 and working part time/not knowing what to do? That's a bad sign... 😢

I am from Argentina, my mother makes Hamburgers in a similar way to this. She would add parsley, garlic, flour and panko (sometimes onions).

[@lyrand6408]

That 91 years-old lady still working even after her lungs were ruined by Covid... I have no words to describe how much respect I have for her. Any time I see in your videos an elderly person still at work (which seems to be relatively common in Japan) I am in awe, but also in shock at the same time. I usually picture a grandma or a grandpa chilling at home after their years and decades of work, taking it day by day and just relaxing. Is there any standard, 'official' retirement age and system in Japan? Like the "usual" 65 years-old or so here in America where you just stop to work and get a monthly elderly pension? (On a side note, I'm not saying everyone should stop working at 65; even here it's perfectly legal to keep working even if you do receive the pension from 65 and beyond... but I'm just wondering how it works in Japan and if there's even that sort of system to start with).

[@mariabeatrizlopezperalta5681]

@@mariabeatrizlopezperalta5681 They seem to enjoy it despite it being a lot of work. It keeps them active physically and mentally and gives them a sense of purpose. If you want to live long, you don't sit at home all day being "retired". That's how you start rotting

[@gwingggg5]

>>Is there any standard, 'official' retirement age and system in Japan? Of course, Japan has a retirement age of 65 and also has a pension system. The amount of pension payments is determined by the amount and period of payments made to the Pension Corporation, so those with a small amount need to continue working even after retirement. However, it seems that most elderly people continue to work because they find purpose in working. I'm Japanese, and I'm certainly looking forward to the days after retirement when I don't have to work, but I'm worried that my days will be boring. If I think that way, I may feel like I want to continue working after retirement.

[@Mwoods2272]

A lot of the elderly just want something to do. A lot are very active, I see a lot working as the bicycle police or volunteering as crossing guards. Most of businesses owned by families their elderly work because they want to still contribute toward the family instead of just sitting around.
