I've never purchased anything via KZbin recommendation but I ordered a bottle not only to support local businesses but as a gesture of appreciation and support for all the 'Day in the Life' series work you've done for us over the years. Love Japan!

[@MinecraftMartin]

He does an amazing job of highlighting Japanese culture. I lived there for about 10 years and watching these is like being back in the thick of it. He does a very good job.

[@abbieconnie2012]

It sold out very quickly

[@espeliarbus]

Agreed!

[@crapy_kawa7805]

Dont forget to tell us how it was when it arrives! We'll be waiting!

How does buying something from Japan support local business?

[@rafa7931]

The shot of the chili peppers in the snow is just so cinematic. Props to Paolo!

[@ohjajohh]

Yeah that was beautiful indeed

[@janduarte1044]

This entire video isn't just a Day in the Life video. It's actually a 20 minute commercial featuring the making of the hot sauce, the people involved, and the start of its historical introduction to the world.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We appreciate Paolo for his consistency and dedication. These videos are always worth watching. We learn so much from them.

[@waadalsafi2103]

YES WE DO , THANK YOU PAOLO

[@leqitcosmic8286]

No joke these videos are insane. I just love it SO much to watch the day in a life videos, they ALWAYS make me happy

[@MrBejkovec]

' consistency and dedication' More like 'I'm used to be getting money from subs and views aaaand I can't rly do anything else, otherwise I'll starve'.

[@Frostuliaq]

We love you Paolo, as always top content! and congratulations for spicy collab I hope I get my hands on your sauce one day :)

[@TheTikeySauce]

My bottle came in today! This is by far the best artisan hot sauce I've tasted. Even though it uses Carolina Reaper, I'm blown away by how much flavor is packed in just a couple drops.

[@TheMonaVox]

I appreciate Paolo for bringing us interesting content. He’s so respectful and has a great guiding voice. Give this man a children’s education show!

[@63brennan]

I'm 44 and I watch every one of his videos. He would be an amazing kids show host

[@Nwing2365]

The way he pronounces his videos I started thinking maybe he has a large audience in the education industry and they show his videos in class.

[@billv.208]

[@JuanCarlosBatallaCallau-bu6hi]

The image of the red peppers on the snow is the most beautiful haunting picture in the whole Paolo from Tokyo series. This is a unique episode in the One day in the Life section due to the exotic snowy setting and because it shows the collaboration between Paolo and a hot sauce maker in North Japan. I expect to find the hot sauce when I visit Japan next year.

[@Mark-hi4nv]

This series, A Day In The Life, is one of the best content in YT. Unique + interesting, consistent in quality. I dont want this to ever stop- only worry is that at one point, Paolo would have already covered all types of jobs and Japan and this may end. 😂😭

[@FictionHubZA]

Never. There are many interesting jobs to be covered. And the country has millions of workers. The stories will not run out.

[@EricK-mj7kr]

There's always jobs to cover like A Day In The Life Of A Nuclear Power Plant Worker.

[@Boirudo]

Can always do the same job multiple times but with different workers

[@notyourtypicaltim3348]

Hi Paolo! My Japanese wife and I are big fans of you (eagerly awaiting every new video) - and I am a big fan of hot sauce. As soon as we finished watching this one she said, "This is what you're getting for Christmas" and placed an order. I can't wait for December! Thanks also for the PSA. My wife was born & raised, and I lived in Japan for 7 years and we never knew it had any native hot sauce. Now, thanks to you, we know.

[@black_heart_gaming583]

Please do not ever stop this series!

[@DavidHanada]

I love how Paolo genuinely introduces his content as opposed to pretending to bump into the worker on the street randomly, like so many NYC creators do

[@pizzagangsterr]

Damn... It's incredible to see how Paolo has the skill to get you stuck in every video he makes, doesn't matter the topic. What a quality and dedication in bringing us such a great content! Thank you, man! You deserve all the success you have!

[@deliciousbread1399]

Laying chilies on the snow at the base of a mountain for them to steep in their own flavor for three years afterwards is some mythic level hot sauce making.

[@edjarrett3164]

Ordered my bottle. Normally, with hot sauces no one talks about umami. I’m excited to taste.

[@revansbiscuits]

Never once have I bought something through a KZbin recommendation. But after all my years of watching you, you sir have sold me. Just got a bottle preordered can’t wait to try it 🖤

[@CapnxJakE]

Wow that’s so awesome you were able to work on making a hot sauce! Congrats! Can’t wait to try it myself!

Just ordered my hot sauce. Thank you so much for this channel and all you do. Your channel was the first about Japan that I started watching and it has helped me learn so much. I have always been fascinated with Japan and Japanese culture but after I started watching your videos and, other channels as well, my love of the country has grown even more! I haven't even been there yet! I have even started taking Japanese lessons! I hope to visit in the near future and get to spend some time seeing all of the amazing things that I have seen in your videos in person and sharing them with my wife! Who knows, maybe we will run into you and I can buy you a beer or five lol. Thank you again for all you do and congratulations on what you have achieved!

[@attache675]

Even before the video starts I already know Paolo is going to come out with another banger episode! Love this series 😄

[@goldlantern]

I've bought one, and it's actually my favorite hot sauce right now. Blends extremely well into barbecue sauce, adds an extra zip to ketchup, goes deliciously straight onto eggs. Haven't tried it on a steak yet. I've also managed to find a bottle of kanzuri, and can't wait to try it.

[@intpleb4206]

How was the kanzuri? It's what inspired Paolo to collaborate with them!

[@goldlantern]

@@intpleb4206 Pretty good! It's a flavorful, lightly spicy (compared to Kaminari, or even a standard red hot sauce) paste that goes well in soups/sauces/stews that you want to add zip to. I wouldn't add it to cooked eggs, but I would add it to a pre-cooked steak. It has the consistency of miso or "better than buillion", if you're familiar with that. I got it from "Umami Insider", though they're sold out of it at the moment.

[@AriAbuko]

The fact that we get free Japan videos on KZbin by Paolo is truly a gift 👏👏👏

[@goldbrickslegocorner3614]

I've ordered a couple of bottles, I'm excited! Supporting local business &/or making showcased items accessible easier to the community is exactly what I want to see from a YT creator

[@eggman9713]

I got some of this a couple of months ago and I'm still working through the one bottle I bought. I must say that out of many hot sauces I have tried in various styles and spice levels, this stuff is the absolute best balance of flavor and spiciness I have ever experienced. I wish it were easier to get Kanzuri's other products in the US, but this collaboration has gotten me hooked! Well done!

[@Xennmaster]

Your success is so deserved. Not a single episode of a Day in the life has been missed since I first found your channel. Keep up the incredible content, and well wishes to all of your future endeavors.

[@justatypicalyoutuber8402]

Paolo, you are one slick person. This wasn’t your typical “day in the life” video, this was a promotion… AND I LOVE IT! I want to buy one!

[@karan_for_you]

This video is so well done, Paolo. Your entire production quality is amazing. The planting chili scene is shot so beautifully. You and your team out perform yourself with 'Day in the Life' video.

[@amalilconfused]

Moe just launched her own Japanese sauce and now Paolo is launching his own Japanese hot sauce. Now I’m waiting for Chris’ own Japan inspired food item to drop to complete the trifecta of content creators in Japan.

Love these simple day in a life vids by Paolo. Its like a different vibe of getaway/vacation from my own stressful life that isn't a travel/food trip video. Man it would be a dream to work as his assistant camera man, coordinator, or something.

[@MaximumPasta]

Just got mine in the mail. This is FAR AND AWAY the BEST hot sauce I have ever tasted. It’s like it was designed for me. The soy sauce as a base is mind blowing, and the heat is relentless. I can’t wait to share it with my friends 😋

Ordered 3 bottles of the hot sauce. Can't wait till it gets here so I can try it. Hope you do more collaborations like this one!!!

My hot sauce arrived this week. It’s heaven and hell. The umami is off the charts when eating my my favorite foods, a perfect blend of zest and heat, etc. I don’t really feel the Carolina reaper when eating, but hours later I’m reminded of my indulgence. I look forward to more collabs, this one was really special.

[@aLittlePal]

great to hear!

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

I love seeing this type of stuff, so interesting to see how people in Japan live their daily lives. So many similarities to America and also some differences. It’s so cool! And that Hot Sauce looks delicious. 😋 I also never knew Japan was the snowiest country in the world, they get more snowfall than Russia, Canada, mainland America, and even Alaska. Japan is amazing :)

[@bethanyp8709]

Plssss start doing more family involved day in the life videos... I love to see how different japanese families function and operate, especially if one or both of the parents work

[@HeroofSomething]

I swear Paolo got me so excited for the hot sauce I was considering buying it even though I cannot ingest spice because of my stomach. Exceptional video as always!

[@walterhaase]

This has quickly become my favorite YT channel. We were in Japan a couple months ago and have already booked to go back next April. I could not resist ordering a bottle :)

[@ceecee7465]

Just ordered a couple bottles! I've heard of Kanzuri but never tried it. So I'm pretty excited 👍I'm sure this will give them a huge boost in brand recognition, especially if this sauce is a banger!

[@skarletpowers3016]

Paolo adventures are always exciting, I love how each adventure with someone is always from their point of view. It's focused around their day to day life, vs. it being planned out and scripted. Just an awesome person being themselves. Very real.

[@ha690]

Kanzuri is my favorite hot sauce, it’s rather hard to find here in Japan but oh man that umami is unbeatable with the salty chili flavor! Goes with anything really, people use it for Yakitori, salad, fried rice, ramen, you name it…better try it if you haven’t!

[@orderla8877]

[@briz33]

I bought 2 bottles of his hot sauce, to support him and a craft maker in Japan. I just tried it by itself and it's really good. Citrus notes initially, with a nice build up of heat. If you watch "Hot Ones", it would be in the 2-4 spot, probably. I'm not a super heat seeker, my favorite sauce is Queen's Majesty Scotch Bonnet & Ginger. I'd say it's similar heat to that. Manageable heat, good flavor, I think it's ideal for a splash of flavor on a breakfast sandwich in the US. It would be really good with eggs and sausage, with some bread for heat noobs.

[@briz33]

Queen's Majesty Scotch Bonnet & Ginger is my favorite hot sauce. I love that Hot Ones introduced me to it. I've also ordered 2 bottles of Paolo's hot sauce and I'd say that Paolo's sauce is noticeably hotter. Queen's Majesty has broad flavor, while Paolo's sauce is deeper in flavor. Paolo's sauce is just satisfying in complexity, while Queen's Majesty gives a broad range of flavors.

[@xGravesyte]

Congrats on your hot sauce, Paolo!!! This was soooo cool to see inside of the production and how they are careful to inspect each one! What diligent, hard work! Thanks for another Day in the Life! ☺️

Im actually in the process of starting my own hot sauce company here in hokkaido and its great to see some of the processes and factory setup. Hopefully oneday i can go visit them to see how the operate and pick some sauce up for myself ! Then oneday i can be as big and delicious as them and do a colab with you too!

Paolo, I love your channel. It is so interesting to learn about such an ancient and rich culture that Japan has. Every video shows us something new. As an American, it's amazing to see how different Japanese culture is from our own. I love how everything is based on respect and tradition. I loved your video about Japanese firemen. Could you do one about either a Japanese police officer or a Japanese soldier? Either way I will be waiting for your next video
