[@corneliusblackwood9014]

Damn, he doesn’t skip leg day. Those are some solid calves, respect!

[@Starkesea]

It's easy when you're basically 300lbs to have huge calves. His extra weight is what most skinny people squat when they work out so he's basically squatting just by carrying his own weight. And no it's not normal for people his size to be portion that way, well sadly it is but shouldn't be

I hope his restaurants continues to prosper. As someone who just recently visited Japan, I loved going to these smaller noodle shops. They were always better for the most part than the more well known tourist spots.

[@theinvisibleman-e8v]

This is why so many people love Japan. The country still has an identity which most of us have lost forever.

[@mikkojaatinen4508]

...immigration

[@jsmit9484]

Ah yes, blame the immigrants... As if they don't have enough shit to deal with already Don't blame it on the fact that Japan as a country spent thousands of years as an isolated island and was able to evolve it's traditions in relative peace and quiet. Also ignore the downsides of upholding that "identity". E.g. insane working culture, severe xenophobia, strong hierarchies, insane bureaucracy and even more insane social norms and protocols. Japan seems very charming from the perspective of a tourist or a western migrant, but it's not all rainbows and sunshine.

[@ispoox]

@@mikkojaatinen4508actually no. Immigration is where that identity came from in the first place. In reality it’s an over saturation of capitalism. Ma and pa shops replaced by Walmarts and McDonalds.

whats the second best

[@hermes6910]

For me, Japanese food is too "blank" for my taste. My problem is that I can't eat any product from the water, so of course in Japan I don't have much left... Italian, Greek, Indian and of course my lovelty French are the most suited to my tastes. Food tastes is very personal. If you take French food, it's so ‘overrated’ by foreigners that a lot of bad restaurants have sprung up all over the world, and for foreigners it's very difficult to find real French restaurant/tastes, even in top restaurants (just go out of Paris, it's the same in every country, for the best food, leave the capital!) The Italians and Greeks are more family-oriented and very friendly.
