Day in the Life of a Japanese Butcher Shop Owner

Thanks for uploading another day in a life Paolo

Great video :)
Greating from Hungary :)

Another great video, but I kinda hate you now because all the meat just looks so good and now I'm hungry again🙃

I love your smile!

Yeah, I can imagine the coordination that goes into this kind project is pretty serious. Way to go for adapting your process and making it work despite the additional complications. Semi-related question about your video-making process, Paolo...do you storyboard everything out first, before filming? Your shots seem too perfect in each scene to have ‘just happened’. Anyway, nice work. KP!

true lol hahaha

Lol

Butcher in France looks fancy as well

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well he's a luxury meat butcher. Normal people don't eat A5 wagyu for a weekday night shabu shabu. The area he serves must be a high-end residential area and those unassuming customers are actually very rich people. And from the volume he sells each day this place must be ridiculously profitable. I'm pretty sure lesser butcher shops in Japan serving regular people don't look as fancy and stylish, but maybe just as clean.

Lmaoo

the best comment

OMG THIS IS TOO FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣

hahhaahah

😂😂😂

so?

​@@raphaelverde4571 so what

Yes, wife cooks for him = absolute boss.
White guy alert

lol I was thinking the same thing! he's awesome

@@daria5137 Just know people who are older can appreciate how simple yet perfect this mans life is. If you cant understand that you need more experience.

I don't know much about all the cultural stuff in Japan but in terms of meticulousness, cleanliness and sanitation, these guys are on an absolutely different level, especially in regards to food. That's why adding raw eggs to food over there is... I wouldn't say widespread, cause I'm not sure, but there's definitely recipes and stuff where you do that. For the simple reason that the chain and all processes involved in obtaining said egg and then getting it to consumers is all so safe and sanitary that ultimately, the chance of contracting foodborne illnesses from stuff like raw eggs is, apparently, minimal. I'm just using the example of the egg but it's probably safe to assume it applies to the rest of the food industry.

@@Marc... In europe, it’s very very common to eat raw eggs

It's called pride.

the shop is clean because the owner is a clean man,yeah the standarts too but its thye culture too

to be fair, coming from a Brit who visited NYC, American standards are pretty low. Can't comment for anywhere outside NYC, though

Yes

its the start of arthritis

@@rembrandtshadows I already have arthritis I can do whatever the fuck I want

@@rembrandtshadows what s this ?

Did that this morning haha

And eats like the most expensive meat in the world whenever he likes.

I was about to comment that. Even though the video wouldn't include negative things about his life, this is pretty much as good as it gets

And he has a big ass truck when so few people there even drive.

Wait hes 44!

butcher is hard work for sure. he spends tons of energy everyday, almost have no time to stop moving. i cant imagine how tired he is.

Me too! Always watching this and ramen chef video while eating.

I watching this right now and it’s like my 3rd time in a row. I always come back to this video too every once in a while 😂

krplus.net/bidio/o7F_Y56eg6CZk5g ,.,.

Yeah he's killing it pretty hard.

"sick family" don't know what did I chuckle when I read that

Sick family? Like with covid or a common flu?

Aw, man. That's sad, everyone is sick?

Asian blood it is!

Omgsh wow I thought the guy was only in his twenties! But yeah it definitely is the Japanese genetics because I’m in my twenties and am
25% Japanese and get carded for alcohol 100% of the time and told that I look like a highschooler (And sometimes the shopkeepers Will even accuse me of having a fake ID because they don’t believe how old I am!) but also all of my family on the Japanese side all seem to never age. People think my aunt & mother are my sisters and before my grandmama passed away (rip 😢 miss my oba..) people thought she was our mother.

Good meat nourishes in an unbelievable way. He gets the best meat in the planet, no wonder he looks and surely feels great.

Nahh that can’t always be true maybe partially cus I eat SO horribly and am super skinny no matter how much horrible crap I eat and my whole family is the same way.

@@catm590 You're most likely "skinny fat". high fat content but even lower muscles and water content. It's the most unhealthy body types there is.

Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.

This video got me hooked, and now I’m determined to become a billionaire in just two years! 💪💰

No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more

I've heard alot about crypto currency investments and how effective it can grow your income! Any recommendations on a guide?

Catherine S. Woods is an amazing tutor for crypto. Highly recommended! She’s been my Tutor and Mentor for past solid 8years!

45yo looking 35 holy cow

@@BasedTitanG lol

@@BasedTitanG yeah wtf

well he is johny depp

@@BasedTitanG no but he actually looks 25-

YES HAHA

But sound just as dead inside as me

And I'm loving the combination

@Omni KingE bbhh

Yeah, same. I love that their parent (seems to be their parent?) is right there but is just encouraging good, polite and confident behaviours like that. Working in retail myself it is super refreshing when a really nice kid like that comes in and we can communicate really well. I can tell they've had a good upbringing. Wish my parents had done that lol.

This is the upside of having a family business! The previous generations suffered the start up costs, which are usually so high that the first 5 years of business you dont make any profit!

I don't know if you noticed that he works like 90% of his day. He loves it though, I do envy him.

Wtf happened to the comments thread?

@@bletrick3352 Bahahhahah, the religious comment which was followed by someone cursing them, it doesn't get much funnier than that

@@tinajsews2835 the bible is only good for emergency rolling papers

Right?! He looks like a hot Asian Johnny depp 😆

Because he eats the best quality meat

@@tadzbahal4841 his wife too cuz damn he fine 😏😂

He's livin the dream

Dream life

he works 12 hours a day though, not ample time

@@samjam6989 compare that to souless big tech ceos here in America that probably works less than 5 hours while being hated by their employees this is better

he works 14 hrs a day though, super tiring and hard working

really? i didn't even notice. nice

Yes, he is. Maybe they're all people living in the Paolo's neighborhood

I have been watching his videos, & genuinely being entertained. & yeah, its the same butcher shop from the japanese housewife video."

LMAOOOOO

If Paolo lives in the same area as this guy as well as all the other people he's interviewed, then that must mean he's pretty well off.

Too rich for an artist, lol.

Bill the Butcher would totally agree

he puts the ART in ARTisnal

his paint is the meat and the canvas is the store

Cutting meat is an art, not as easy as many think

sorry for your loss man :(

Daniel is here.......

@@brabbitster823 oh look its my loving fans

Lol didn't expect to see u here

good for you and great for him.

That's what happens when a family business is taken seriously, I hope it continues as well.

HE DRIVES A TRUCK in Tokyo like thats not common like it is in the US, he's gone a long way to where he is now

It's the 3rd generation so it's ovios he is rich

@@ameetoshdash1252 he's rich because he's constantly changing, improving his skills from what he's been taught, and building a wider network around him. If he's stayed the same as his parent and grandparent mindset he would've gone broke or his business would've gone down. That man is adapting, a true man

@@FATDADDYSACK ya man, totally agree just didnt wanted to write all that.

so true

He does look good for his age. God Bless him!

I have a son 22 hope he lives a happy healthy life he is my pride and joy! I'm 62 with serious heart disease my brother died at 58.

God bless you, you will be fine;)

@@PhilR09 are you making this up? your reply doesn't sound like anything written by a 60 year old grandpa

Can’t relate

So distant from my country, where several daycare facilities (run by the government) were provided with sick donkey meat and after "investigating" there was nobody accountable for

@@nicolasherreragonzalez8037 that's terrible

@@defencebangladesh4068 it is, but in my country if u ask for justice then you are labeled as a commie or as a rebel

did the a5 goes to all the children at daycare?
in canada they also use a5, but goes to higher ups, the child gets cream bread LOL

I think because its not an easy job to do. It needs some profession

The employers/owners are usually hands-on for most small-to-medium scale Asian businesses, especially those with a reputation such as this. Also, the Japanese are meticulous when it comes to generational businesses as it's all about the family history/honor. And that's how their businesses survive for generations.

thats literally true for every single small business in the world

Lead by example.

i thought bosses are little bit like a slacker but not that one

Take a long hard look.
That's the face of a man that somehow lives in a country known for having an unhealthy obsession with work, yet looks more healthier than many in the West end up doing.

@@Zeithri I mean...He worked hard and walk everyday to deliver meats, so of course he would be healthier than most of people who only sitting in a chair working for 8 hours. Not to mention that a normal Japanese usually walk to work and home everyday too. That's why most Japanese look thin and fit

Ever heard of Hirohiko Araki?
Exactly.

Go vegan, they say! Meat is the most healthy food in the world!

@@sekaihunter9378 While they look fit from a distance most Japanese people suffer from sleep deprivation.

What prevent that from happening? The weather?

Cool, where do you work?

try to achieve it may this be inspiration. This videos are inspiring to me i will tell you that

@@maple00123 Absolutely the Country where you Live On, Japan Is Rich in Wealth, Got A Clean Sanity and has A People Who can be Trusted

@@maple00123 very different cultures, sadly.

Ur late bruh....we've been waiting

I've been waiting you for two weeks,bro.

Hirohiko Araki is a great example. He’s 60 but he looks almost as young as this guy, except without facial hair

dude i was looking for this comment

I am 26 I look way uglier

if every single workplace and company was like this, we would have more happier people

You will *NEVER* see this in a western multicultural nation.

@Bruce J. O'Hara Multiculturalism creates social mistrust and racism by default. Due to the social fragments that exist within that society. Some groups even hate each other to the core, and the only thing that's "stopping" that harboring hatred from manifesting into actual violence is through strict policing/laws or, worse live in a dictatorship. The west, in this case, has "strict" laws that tries to curtail hate-related crimes, but it results in infringing on free speech laws.

I thought i recognized it from somewhere

Wow. You remember that

nice catch! krplus.net/bidio/o6ajn3unZnjHoJg

I remember that too xD

it was all foreshadowing...

That's why they're Tbey live a longer life than most...

They do have disciprin over there but I think mainly it's because he cares. It's his own shop. Fuck sake if I had my own shop no matter what then i would always give it 100%

...and often depressed beyond all recognition. There is a reason for Japanese sky high suicide rate.

@@hawattcreations4852 k

@@sheevthewireless110 probably office workers. This dude seems to love his job and its not stressful at all, maybe a bit tedious or repetitive but he owns the shop

The Japanese are a some of the most elegant, cultured, disciplined people........ There's a lot we can all learn from them!!

Precisely.

The guy works twelve hours a day. Your dream life sounds like a nightmare.

@@RobWright1981 what is a dream life for you? Having many hours a day to watch KRplus or play videogames?
The butcher has a lot of strong relations with people around him, something apparently so simple is becoming more and more rare everyday for young people

Similar to Seoul, subway gets you everywhere

Sign of a rich country. Even rich people ride the public transpo because its so effective. Well, its Japan so hehe..

meanwhile in my country(India), both the public and the private transport suck. You are extremely lucky if you get on a clean train or a bus here and a road without traffic here is a dream that will never come true. They somehow manage to make it a four lane road even if the road is a two lane road for gods sake.

Yeah their public transport is effective but REALLY crowded.

Seoul, where I'm from has better transport system.

“At his age”?? The man is 44

I’m in my 40’s and have style. I’m offended by this comment 😩

he isn't that old...

homeboy is literally 44 in this video, how is that remotely old.

You all exaggerate, he is 44 not 74 😭he is not old.

Hes 45

While he does look nice for a middle aged man, that's just an exaggeration you still look like a kid when you hit your 20's, although this guy is indeed impresive

He’s not white so

Probably healthy diet, maybe?

Eat animal proteins and stay away from refined carbohydrates, sugar, and industrial seed cooking oils.

I had to rewind and take my hoodie down. Sure enough, he said 44.

Asians definitely look younger ... I remember I and my gf before was looked down when we were hugging in our travel because the american guy thinks we were in highschool🤣

@@christianbass10 Which part of Asia?

@@minhalyounus9239 india

He looks 35 at most.

This is the wholesomeness the internet needs

I agree as well. I wouldn't mind having some butcher experience with him to hone my skills as well as learn new things from him. Respect to him and the work he does.

@@caremo8781 could easy go as 30

Says, Not a morning person but still goes to work at 7:15 am

Why this comment is so funny 😂

I think because they must pay for the trash they throw? So they must learn how to making their businesses produce less waste I think

Except the fact that he stored the garbage in the refrigerator.

chopin4525 do you want him to leave raw meat remnants in the sun?

Also it's clearly a very exclusive shop selling high cost meats. So they probably don't get much more meat than what they know they'll sell.

Did you not notice the crazy amount of plastic used in packaging and transporting the meat aswell? It's great that they throw away less, but they're also giving a lot of plastic waste that will be thrown away by customers.

@@jeanclaudejunior Not particularly, no.

Are you being sarcastic? 7.45 is pretty damn late especially as he starts his day around 7 am!

@@kali6651 Why? This isn't a scam. It's just a representation of the Country of Japan. There's Wagyu, Craft beer, Japanese temples, Shrines, Ryokans and anime stuff. I've been there and it's so cool. I've been to Tokyo, Takayama, Kanazawa, Osaka, Koya-san and Ancient Capital Kyoto

I don't think its necessary to ask which country because I'm pretty sure it's cleaner then EVERYONES hospitals🤣

He’s the owner + it’s Japan

@@koolkille3 + hes a third-generation owner. He inherited the shop from a parent who'd probably already paid of any debt.
what he makes is almost certainly going towards anything other than paying off the debt of owning a store.

and it looks like he only buys and sells premium Meat. You have to pay a bit more, it´s worth it, not on a day to day bases of course except u can afford it, but to treat youself and your loved ones.

This is Japan bro

@@yesor3973 that makes sense

@@chiasmata8625 you wouldn’t understand, there is a lot of pride of carrying generational norms. Western culture has no understanding of this.

@@Rsmvbizz i think that every form of culture shows at least respect to a family buisness

@@obamaprism1277 this may be anecdotal, but eastern cultures weigh heavily on family and pride. You don’t see parents being thrown into retirement homes and teenagers kicked out the house at 18 forcing them to fend for themselves. That builds lifelong resentment to parents. From my experience (growing up overseas and in America) I saw the negative effects that this brought upon, on many families and you can just see the dynamics of a nuclear family. But that’s all weighed on how the children are brought up, I think we are both correct to an extent.

@@Rsmvbizz Western culture? Uh no. You do understand there are family businesses everywhere? Just because you had certain experiences, doesn't mean you can talk for everybody.
