Am I the only one mesmerized by the beauty of that perfectly seasoned wok?

[@minerallady]

Nope, me too... I will buy that shiny seasoned wok from him, if he sells it... lol He could start using the new seasoned wok again... keep cooking and it will has the natural non-stick shiny wok again...

also helped by spending 1000's of hours seasoning it

[@StonyRC]

This is a modestly small, local restaurant - but the work-rate is truly astonishing. Each and every dish cooked to order, nothing heated up or microwaved. Everyone multi-tasking and the entire operation running like a perfectly-tuned machine. Very impressive.

Watching these videos makes the job feel so zen that I'd wanna start your own shop. But then I imagine watching this video a second time... and a third time...many times, for 8 hours every day for the next couple of years. Which brings me back to reality and to what massive respect these chefs deserve for consistently working hard to make their customers happy.

[@SlaveCraven-vw8tk]

I always wonder what it would be like for these lifelong chefs once they serve their last order. Think how much emotional weight would be behind seeing your last customer ever leave your shop.

Aaaaand mark another place in Japan for me to visit. My entire trip is literally just going to be about food, like all of my travels. It's the most important aspect of travel in my opinion.

[@Snoopy.__]

I agree, learning and tasting foreign food is also learning and adapting culture

[@0FFICERPROBLEM]

I love food from different cultures and making it myself. I'm more uncomfortable in closed in public space I can't go to too many places or I burn out and need to be in solitude in nature. There are some absolute hidden gems you can find though, some unassuming place is just making the best food in the world and I love when it happens.

[@ih82r8]

Me too. Apart from old architecture, all I want to go to Japan for is food!

[@hairtoss7975]

Fast and efficient hard-working people. That young chef ensures the future of this restaurant. Thank you.

[@granpuscanucks]

Love these kind of behind the scenes videos. Everything looks so good and they make it look so effortless. In Japan, there are so many of these seemingly nothing looking looking places from the outside but so good if you go in and try it. And while the other dishes are more normally priced it's only 500 yen for the daily special lunch bento box if I'm reading that correctly. That is only approximately $5!

[@atmosdwagon4656]

That's because Japan has the luxury of not being subjected to the O'Biden Economy. (which is 300% in a Recession despite the Obama era number-fudgery returning to gloss up the figures so it's "technically" not one, even though by every other metric it's damned near a Depression.) Don't take my word for it: Do a casual scan of Zagat's or any of the menu cataloguers for local Chinese places since early 2022; prices for even mediocre restaurant fried rice are twice as high as the Trump era, and actually decent quality restaurant prices over three times. Remember: Support your local businesses, and never vote anyone funded by multinational bankers, lest you too get to watch the former get destroyed by the latter and your nation's wealth drained into the pockets of heartless, souless corporate sociopaths and their army of useless middle manager bureaucrats.

Hearing about his culinary education itself is impressive, no one just cooks for the Imperial Family. Would love to visit and eat at their restaurant. I hope a second generation comes in to learn and takes over. So much experience and good food has been lost to the younger generations not wanting to learn to cook but use 'Convene' store food.

I have made fried rice for many years. It is a real surprise to see such a small Wok used for the amount of rice being cooked.

[@zmoney1212]

Not a small wok, just a big great master who is holding it

[@junova7503]

It comes down to heat distribution. If you don't have a restaurant-style wok burner like his then you're unlikely to cook the rice fast enough so you end up making it soggy cus the moisture can't escape. Skill plays a part of course but this is impossible without his setup.
