Food Tour of Japanese Fast Food Udon Noodles and Japanese Fried Tempura made in a Japanese restaurant. We go behind the counter to see how Japan Fast Food is made in Japan. Marugame Seimen is a popular self-service fast food Udon chain in Japan, with more than 850 stores throughout, most known for their Sanuki Style Udon since 2000. The ingredients for udon noodles are simple - flour, salt and water but since the ingredients are so simple, the condition of the ingredients have to be absolutely perfect and the measurements precise in order to produce the same quality noodles each and every time. Udon is such a sensitive food that a small discrepancy in the measurements can result in a huge difference in quality, consistency and flavor so the staff must keep the difference under 0.1 grams. At the same time, the weather does play a role in the preparation process so the staff must be skilled enough to make adjustments according to the company’s recipe measurements and maturing process.
*Onigiri is actually called Omusubi at Marugame Seimen

sure thing my bro
@@gerryrobbins3499 bro
Nice upload
Wooow great sharing 👏🏼
I just noticed that you're hairless. Do you wax or shave?
You edit these really well. Mixing the English narration with the Japanese could be difficult but you make it very easy. Thumbs up man!
editing can make or break your videos. his editing is so freaking good.
Agreed! Excellent editing!
@@michagabo8819 wtf
makes it seem easy man has talent love all this videos thank you
Lmao how could it possibly be difficult? You ask them a question in Japanese and you record the English translation later which you play over the original audio??
Made in Japan And Day in LIfe, both series are 10/10. Paolo the Jvlogging GOAT!
Day in life!!!!.❤️.❤️
Sure
💯
this series is so fun to watch. Period
Paulo’s editing is top notch.
"Fast food" obviously doesn't mean the same thing in Japan as in the US because you would not see the attention to detail, the freshness and handmade aspects. And then there's the udon masters. There's no equivalent to anything like that in the US. I'm jealous.
Seems everyone in Japan takes so much pride in their work no matter what it is.
One of the very attractive qualities about Japanese people, it's the main thing that makes watching those videos so enjoyable, gives you a sense of peace and order and passion.
@@Dianimations_ you are very right
Of course it has nothing to do with them knowing their bosses will watch the video later haha
The way the pastry lady talked looked like she was in front of her superiors or potential customers: "we make udon every day to provide the best taste possible [...] to have a consistent quality we pay attention to every step"
Yes, and one of the reasons I love Japan. Seems like everyone is doing their very best, and aiming to improve, all the time, and with politeness. I love it there. Can't wait to be able to go back!
All workers get a livable wage in Japan!
CEOs in Japan do not make 1000 times as much as their lowest-paid worker!
It was in Japan that I learned that fast food did not equal unhealthy options. I loved the fact that for the same price and waiting time as a Big Mac, I could get udon or rice bowls that were healthy and filling.
This is so high quality that it feels insulting to call it "fast food"
Fast food, its fastly served and prepared. But not rushed and compromised in quality
i ate at marugame seimen at least once a week when living there, was like $5.50 for noodles + fried goodies.. crazy cheap for how good it was
Yeah comparing American fast food to japanese is pretty depressing lol
@@maxnibler6090 Depressing? I will say it's blasphemous.
Yeah. It's fast delivered. But not the other connotations. It's a solid place with a few branches in California too.
I love how Japan takes so much care into their products and services. Example: They said they don't serve dashi two hours old because they want the best flavor for their customers. In the US as long as the health department said it was okay, they would use it until it's gone.
That’s very correct,you are right
Yall stay stroking off to Japan. Give me fking dashi after two hours, I don't fing mind. How picky can someone be? Complaining about dashi that is only two hours old? Wtf?
I don't care about dashi two hours old as long as I can reheat it. I meant the simple thought and care Japan has for their customer service and pride of products is beyond most.
Also, Ali no one was complaining. If you watched the video or read my whole first comment you would have learned they do it so the flavor can at its very best for everyone.
@@KittieXaBlaze you sound like you want to stroke Japan off. There are plenty of restaurants in America who do things just as good if not better.
I like the fact that they even boil the bowl itself, probably to have a same heat consistency during minute 9:10
also to clean it
Hissashiburi?
You are right but do you know how to cook?
...almost all kinds of restaurants have some kind of plate/bowl heater. Often nowadays it's more like an electric oven that automatically pushes up over time as dishes get removed. This is just a primitive, effective way of doing it.
i guess you could say consistency
Its actually heated up so the bowl does not pull heat from the noodles or dashi and cool the soup down prematurely
This is hardly fast food. This is a full-on, sit-down restaurant!
yessirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Agreed :)
Can you not sit down in McDonald's and KFC?
More like fast casual. Chipotle would be a good American example.
Customers have to line up though.
I love how the staff know what they are doing from techniques and always thoughtful to their customers like keeping it fresh and clean.❤️
Yeah when they start cleaning there kitchen a little bit then everything is perfect
@@nbgforlive lmao what japanese people are the most clean in everything. if your stating about some of the flour in the dough roller that shit is new compare that to other places
@@nekomancer8471 yeah don't get me wrong that's what I thought also but what i saw on this channel changed my mind a little bit. The refrigerator in the other video with the older wise chef was so damn dirty from inside, disgusting. And here the same
@@nbgforlive well to be fair its hard to clean refrigirator if you have tons of perishable goods and you dont have a back up to transfer it.
Mean while US
I live in Tokyo and yes, in here Marugame is certainly considered as a fast food ( just like Matsuya, Yoshinoya etc ) because it is fast AND cheap.
ALRIGHT! more food stuff! thanks paolo.
😀
One of my favorite things about these sorts of places in Japan is how, no matter the weather or anything, people like businessmen will slurp down a whole bowl in under 5 minutes, no waiting for cooling. Saw that several times over my trips there, it's honestly impressive.
I was surprised at that, too, when I visited Tokyo two years ago, hence no spoon was needed.
But it will mess up your teeth, srsly just wait a couple of minutes
@@normen416 no they do it as a respect for other customer that will come next to them.
thats just how they are. they consider the people that are coming next to them so they come and go as fast as they could
@@nekomancer8471 nah man i hv a japanese colleague they just did it because they said the taste are better, i idint kno if what u said are the real reason,
watching this on a rainy evening just makes me want to have a bowl of hot udon soup with tempura now..hehehe
hehehe
hehehe
Yes
I could watch the process for hours. This and the “day in the life” series are both outstanding!
I'm Japanese.
This store is very popular in Japan.
It's cheap but very delicious.
I'm half japanese
i agree with you, i go here often.delicious indeed! :)
exactly
I subscribed to your channel after seeing your day in a life video. 頑張って！
I saw you on Yuta's video !! I loved it :) I also subscribed to you :))
yes and also Tempura is so good
Love Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵 from Sri Lanka🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Made by hand and fresh are two things you don't hear in American fast food chains. The way they made the food was wonderful! Awesome video!
The success of this channel is so well-earned. Some of the best videos on the internet!
wrrr
Howdy from Texas. I really enjoy these Made in Japan videos. Keep up the good work.
By US standards this isnt fast food. This is wayyyyy better! More like fast casual dining 😋🥘🍲🥣🍱🍤
fast casual is fast food, idiot.
@@justicedemocrat9357 you can tell that without scolding
@@justicedemocrat9357 Didn't have to call them an idiot. But these days Fast Food is perceived as unhealthy so, that's why people don't consider this traditional fast food.
@@justicedemocrat9357 Fast casual borrows a little from fast food and a little from casual dining. Fast-casual industry leaders include Panera Bread, Five Guys Burgers, Jimmy Johns Gourmet Sandwich Shop, and Chipotle Mexican Grill.
Fast Food is more like McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell etc. There is a difference!
@@ZebraLens fast food is fast food.
I just found out Marugame Udon is actually a well known udon restaurant in Japan. There is one marugame udon open at stonestown galleria - san francisco. a Plaza next to San Francisco State University. I've been there many times and I always get the Curry Udon. It is my favourite. :D
Try nikku udon it's amazing imo
I LOVE marugame, the exact location and I love their noodle texture
Lol I actually work at that Marugame
@@plushnet thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it
@@michaellee6205 for real? Thats cool. Are there any differences the way food are prepared in your store compare to the store shown in this video?
I am very jealous. This looks both fresh, healthy, and good. "Fast food" means a lot different in Northern CA.
Did you not see the deep fryer 🤢
@@angelmochi9630 what abt it?
@@mmmtastyalidzie2435 deep frying is not healthy in any way shape or form
@@angelmochi9630 everything in moderation… you can eat deep fried food and still eat healthy, especially when your ingredients are incredibly fresh, non-gmo, and produced in the country theyre used in. plus it’s not like theyre eating deep fried food every meal
They have Marugame Udon in northern California. I live in Orange County and we have one here and several in LA. They have one in SF and another one in Berkeley. Some in Texas and Hawaii as well.
We have Marugame here in the Philippines, and it's really good for the price. Pre-pandemic, the lines for lunch and dinner in all their stores were crazy. You'd wait at least 30 minutes to eat!
I always went to that chain restaurant after school when I studied in Japan! The food was so delicious and cheap! I loved every dish!
"What do you think is essential for good food?"
Japanese fast food worker: "Love and attention to detail"
American fast food worker: "You still here?"
The exactness in every tiny details set apart the Japanese professionals.
it's really great how respectful you are and I'm sure the workers love having you!
For anyone who doesn't know, one of my favorite Japanese dishes is featured at 9:00. Its called a Katsu don and is typically comprise of fried pork cutlet and onions, boiled in a sweet umami based sauce with fresh egg cracked over top and steamed for 20 to 40 seconds. Then it is served over a bed of rice. The rice absorbs the liquid, the pork is still crispy, and the onions are nice and soft. The egg adds a nice richness as well. Highly recommend trying this dish. It can also be made with other type of meat, like chicken!
I always look forward to how each shop works. It's like fine art and you get to see behind the scenes it's one of the reasons why I absolutely love your Channel Paolo!
Really like your style of making these videos. You asking the Chefs the questions in english and let them answer in japanese with a translation in the bottom is well done.
You have done it again Paolo!! I appreciate all the hard work you do for "made and life in japan" videos. keep these up as long as you can. these videos make me appreciate the love of japan i have and how hard working Japanese people are. you can also tell even if its a small job or big job they love what they do. these videos make me feel like I'm in japan and only makes me more excited to visit Japan at least once in my life time lol. thank you again!!!
Another terrific video! Seriously, your videos are top notch. You should get an award for your editing, it’s so seamless. Thanks for making these videos!!
Honestly, I wish they would come to the states. This type of food quality, healthy restaurant would be very popular
They already are in the states in certain larger cities but mostly in California
Why would you serve obese entitled with no respect to others americans????
It’s a nice thought but Americans are too lazy to do all that fresh prep and work. And the cleanliness would be subpar. We can’t get Americans to get off their unemployment butts and work although there are signs at every store and restaurant looking for workers!
Marugame Udon is already in the USA
@@queenkristyk some Japanese companies that branch out in other countries bring their employees too and not just hire from the location itself. honestly, the training and discipline they have will never be comparable to other countries
Super glad to watch these great content videos again and of course Japanese culture across the country. Thank you, Paolo!
I'm always love your content especially Made in Japan, it's always amaze me how great their standards are.
Super AWESOME Paolo!
Always looking forward to my Fridays bec of your videos 🙌💕
Did u tried this ?
@@Rahul.12305 yes we have one in Dallas :)
@@MisisH ohh... very good...i thought , you live in Japan ?
Do u live America ?
@@Rahul.12305 yes Dallas is in Texas(America)
This was very interesting and I loved the background music choices. one of your very best. Who knew, how much precision goes into making the perfect noodle and for a fast food joint, this was quite impressive.
I worked fast food in Sweden.
We take delivery of the frozen food,
We thaw the frozen food.
We heat the thawed food.
We serve the warm food.
Such food much wow

Absolutely love this type of video. Great content and the people making these noodles are so skilled! They are so encouraging that they take such a quality approach and seem to love what they are doing! Such excellence.
Thank you for another amazing video Paolo!
I love watching these videos because they always remind me of how much work, effort and love people put into the foods, items, etc. Truly makes me appreciate everything more 🥲
I love this series ! This place was much cleaner than the last lol
I love these made in Japan videos 💕
I don't know how but you make your videos in such special way that is a joy to watch them! Thank you for your hard word!
Their attention to details are incredible. Foods just look so good. Great video Paolo.
Love these videos helped me learn so much about Japan in a really short time 💜💜 Japanese people are extremely dedicated
As always, thank you for these videos!
It was really interesting to note that they always made it fresh & the role the menshokunin plays.
GREAT! video paolo, thank you so much for this!
Can’t wait to see more like this
LOVE these series man! I can't wait for the next one.
The editing in these videos is ridiculously good. Fantastic work Paolo!
You bring such magic into this world. It's lovely to see when someone has found their calling.
Wow, looks delicious, hope we can travel soon.
Loved this, but really looking forward to more Day in the Life videos! :D
I love series like this. More of this plsss
Thank you for your videos, I always enjoy with my friend Pura chan. The lockdown has been great with you guys!
"And now the restaurant is ready for customers" they're not even started yet?!?!
I really enjoy these videos cause it show's different businesses that had have never been to. And in this one it made me hungry! Good job Paolo, very well done!
Really loving these style of videos! And of course the Day in the Life series. Please keep them up! 🙏🏻
That was insanely delicious 😋 and the staff so skilled amazing!
Very cool place 🔥
i love how fast food in japan would be considered amazing and quality in america and england
Seems on par for fast casual (which is what it is). Doubt its better than five guys or chipotle
Love the videos keep up the great work, much love.
Your videos hype me up to visit Japan again every time I watch them.
These videos are amazing. Thank you for sharing what happens behind the scenes
Hi, Paolo. I just watched your new episode back-to-back with Kimono Mom's 1.0M subscriber episode. You two have the best Japan content. Thanks for featuring Moe in your series and introducing her to your audience. Oh, and now I'm starving for a bowl of udon.....
A day in the life of Kimono Mum (and Sutan)
Hi Paolo. Please keep these videos coming. Love these videos. Also the day in the life of videos. Much love from Texas.
Hi Paolo! I don't know if you read all your comments but I just want to tell you that I absolutely love this series of videos as well as Day in the Life of. They are fascinating, well produced and fun to watch! Please never stop! Thanks for everything you do.
His cinematography never fails to impress me. Setting up shots like this while ensuring it doesn't get in the way of their work is tough. Thanks Paolo!
That egg yolk in the end...... Yummy! I hope some day I'll be able to travel to Japan and eat delicious food like this. Even if it is considered "fast food"... Thank you Paolo! Another great video!
I just cannot get enough of these series. Love it.
More videos like this please! Enjoyed it so much!
Love your videos as always. Showing small everyday things in Japan means the world to me. Its really inspiring to see Japanese people do small everyday things so exact and accurate, amazing.
This quality serve is so Japanese. I remember the first Japanese food I ate while in Japan is Udon. And that was very delicious. No wonder they made it perfectly.
Its halal?
@@nickkr3zhh InsyaAllah it's halal. I don't have any side dish.
Omg, I'm legit sooo hungry now! Thanks for the video 💕
How is this fast food this is like the best food ever, everything is fresh, made property with love, precise techniques and great fresh ingredients. Like whhhhat this is heaven
Marugame just opened a couple of locations in the Dallas, TX area. It's great to see them expanding into the US.
Hope these are fully owned by the Japanese company and NOT franchise operations.
@@jarjarbinks3193 They are franchised, but having been to the Marugame in Berkeley, California, I can tell that the company holds their franchisees to high standards amd cares about the customer experience. Very different when you compare it to Yoshinoya U.S. vs Japan.
@@jerseydevs2000 The problem is the way how restaurant workers are treated/paid in the US! If it is not a livable wage like they get in Japan, it is impossible to expect anywhere near the same level of service.
Paolo have the best Japanese content, keep up with this amazing work! :) I love every episode you make
Sure and I believe you can cook for me lol
This is one of my family’s favorite restaurants here in Japan! Thanks for the look behind the scenes.
