I love Japan so much, the food, their respect to their culture, career, language, the cleanliness. i was so impressed when my plane is about to take off from Tokyo Airport, the ground crews still waving their hands to our plane. Its always my favorite country in the world.
"Tonki" is a well-known Tonkatsu restaurant in Meguro Tokyo with a history of over 70 years. They are a family business. Grandpa is really their grandfather. They have similar faces, right?
Work in the kitchen kills many feelings and it’s scary ... For 5 years in the kitchen I lost my hands sensitivity to cold and heat due to constant temperature changes, disrupted the receptors due to constant tests of salty and sweet and peppery. Due to the large amount of work, I very often went hungry at work, now I only eat if I remember that I had not eaten for a day or two, and sometimes even a week, as the feeling of hunger had completely disappeared ... I also broke my sense of smell, which by the way I almost began to pose a danger - a gas column began to leak at work, but I didn’t smell it until one of the waiters told me that it smells of gas... I became much more nervous with this job, because of the rude guests, which ruined my relationship with my girlfriend and my friends. By the way, because of these rude guests, almost all of our waitresses are sitting on sedatives, and the restaurant manager is on antidepressants. Some of my colleagues earn hernias because of heavy pots, which sometimes weigh more then 20 kg, someone gets drunk due to problems in the family that are growing Because of the large amount of work when you are at work early in the morning and return home at night, some people are also addicted to drugs, since it is impossible to work 5 days at week for 14-16 hours in day without dope... This work does not bring a lot of money and only kills feelings, both physical and social
Nguyen Hùng :) well usually the “ one man doesn’t make anything” is like their sensei :) that means other youngsters that just followed that grandpa to study his techniques :) there are many young people like that, worked in a restaurant but actually studied how to do Japanese Fried eel or make sushi for 10 years :) google checks everything for free so you can use your free time to do more research instead of typing stupid things on the internet which makes people feel pity for your personality and your rudimentary knowledge
It’s really great place for delicious eating. I had lived 8 years nearby this “Tonki” traditional Japanese restaurant and enjoyed many times such a great food.
Did you see that? He's cutting steaming hot Tonkatsu one after the other without a flinch... Those hands probably can't feel antyhing anymore! Respect Ossan
I live in Tokyo. This restaurant, Meguro Tonki is not the best tonkatsu restaurant in Tokyo. But it is the longest line in Tokyo for tonkatsu. This restaurant's open kitchen, and the way the people there work, makes me glad I came and ate here. Here is like a theater.

The elderly Chefs are adorable!! You can tell they love what they do. 🥰 Respect to all the Chefs they all work well together ❤. If only I can get one bite. 😋
They're all handsome and cute from grandfathers to grandsons 🥰... i love to watch how neat and organize they are while cooking.. so adorable... and im craving for the food 😄
Gotta love Asian countries where they respect and treasure their elders. People know that the older generation have lived a long life and can contribute tons of knowledge and crafts into everyday living. It’s just sad that in the US, we don’t revere our elder population like Japan, we practically ignore and discard them to the side.
Yeah, Asian Culture mostly revolve around a more family-oriented set-up, so we mostly care for our elders thats why there are very few nursing homes that exist in several asian countries because the seniors are usually at their own homes.
I think in the USA most of us are trying to deal with the mistakes that past generations made to a point that it's very difficult to respect those older than us.
I just love how chefs cook and prep with no gloves on. I work at fast food store in Canada and remember there were customers just keep bitching why we not wearing gloves and all that while I was cooking with a WOK, no part of my hands needed to touch the food. And we wash hand every 2,3 dishes. Sometimes people just dont get it, wear gloves is not all save and not to mention it can be dangerous even
I think for street food, gloves is necessary because there are no wastafel nearby. But for full factioned kitchen it is not that necessary because you can clean your hand regularly. Pardon my english
With fast food, you often don’t stick to one specific role. Subway for example. The workers make the sandwich and they often times ring you up too. At a traditional restaurant, you have a front house and back of house. The “big boy” rules also apply too. Fast food is literally bottom of the barrel employees where you can’t rely on them to do anything correctly. Gloves just add a level of security.
Actually what's more important is that chefs wash their hands regularly. I agree that gloves sometimes get in the way of cooking the food better/the right way
That looks awesome. I appreciate your channel. I recently just tried Okonomiyaki because I seen it on this channel. It's was very delicious. Tonkatsu is one of my favorite Japanese dishes.
I've never seen it served with shredded cabbage, but I LOVE the idea. Wait a minute...now I remember...yes, they serve the pork on top of a thin bed of cabbage, but it never occurred to me to EAT the cabbage! I thought it was just there to absorb the remaining grease. The soup looks absolutely delicious!
WoW, Big Respects to two legend chef who is frying and handled the heat of a Pork Chops. I think I'll go in Japan soon. All the chefs there are working fast and hard but Pork Chops looks extreme Yummy. Edit: There's actually three grandpa but these two grandpa worked hard as I noticed.
Looks delicious! Salute to Japan for its clean, delicious food and their treatment of their older generations. :) Never lose your culture Japan. Never embrace the cultural suicide of mass immigration .
One thing I've always heard is Asian's have so much respect for their elders. I wish the west would adopt that! I love and respect those that came before me and love hearing their stories of a simpler time.
You should,you will never regret when you in Japan. The amount of fun activities, delicious food, wonderful places and the technology of Japanese creation like almost every food vending machine which give you food that test good,hot and sometimes healthy too. Japanese is very busy place because they always work till night to take care their family,Japanese people are very polite make me love this place even more.Japan never disappointed me unlike US,i like US but their food is what make me don't want to visit often because they are expensive and make food sometimes greasy,overcook,etc... It not meant i hate US but they don't give their love to food that they made which i disappointed about.
I love Japan so much, the food, their respect to their culture, career, language, the cleanliness. i was so impressed when my plane is about to take off from Tokyo Airport, the ground crews still waving their hands to our plane. Its always my favorite country in the world.
Couldn't agree more
Man their process is why the food is great! Plus I love how the Japanese puts so much respect on an the older generation
Respect? Maybe they started now...But you need to watch film The Ballad of Narayama

Its a family business tho

Thank you for mentioning the name of the restaurant! 💗
So those old ones are they brothers?
Where is this located in Japan?
It looks so delicious and i want to eat it 1 time in my life:))))
Thanks for sharing us the name and info about this place, I’m dying to go there and taste their tonkatsu.
I think Grandpa the only one who can handle the heat of the fried pork . Respect Grandpa.
I'm afraid jared kushner won't
Grandpa also got used to his back curved. We have the same prob i recon its astigmatism.
Thuy Duong f**k he is so hard I’m so worried

Using the thin metal stick to coat the meat in flour/egg is an amazing idea... It makes it easier and cleaner... no clumpy flour stuck on hands!!
Aaaah.Japan.Home of the best foods,places,movies,and Anime.
grandpa didnt slow down with his work. salute ⭕️
Hi
They are the master fryer and master slicer 😁
Yep just like the flamethrower grandpa at izakaya toyo 😁
That grandpa puts a smile on my face ☺
親父がここが好きで、子供の頃から何か良いことあったら連れて行ってもらった。
トンカツのあの味も，味噌汁も、食べ放題のシャキシャキキャベツも，美味しくてたまらん！
きれい好きな親父は……味はもちろんだが、トンカツ屋なのに驚くほど店内が美しく，店員さん達の真摯な仕事ぶりや真っ白なユニフォームにいつも感心してました。

I love to see grandpa smiling while deep frying those tonkatsu!
sameee
I really love Japanese chefs because of their order and everything is done very methotically
Saint Sinner well with that many workers is normal XD,I wonder how they can make profit
揚げたて素手で普通に切って丁寧に包丁に手のひらで支えて持っていくの凄い……絶対あちぃよ。
I find it funny how the closer they are to the stoves, the older they get.
I guess it requires a lot of experience to determine when the deep fry is due.
It’s a culture in japan, you’re not allowed to touch if ure new/ still a trainee. Depends on how traditional the store is
Theyll probably spend years doing the breading before they move up to cooking
@@ziting5756 sad but that's good tho
That is why their craft is refined. It is a mark of excellence and professionalism
The cleanliness of the place, amazing

You watch too much anime, because in real life they dumb af
Not all Asian countries provide job for elderly. Japan is quite different than other Asian countries.
Ojiisan is adorable. I would love to hear the stories he can share about their food and their restaurant.
The old man doing the meat cuts is probably 75 yrs old at the very least. RESPECT!

Huge respect to grandpa that is still working ❤️❤️❤️
Giving old people some chance to work is so damn ❤ huge respect gramps
Imagine the wage so low that even retiree will have to work. That's a sad reality.
This is my kind of restaurant. Doing one thing, and doing it extraordinarily well. If we had a place like that in the bay area, they would kick butt.
Love this video its like a good documentary for how culture prepare good dishes
Japanese is really different! Clean, polite , perfections !
I went here two years ago and it’s the best tonkotsu I had yet! Nicest people too!
i love how the way japanese cook with compassion 👌
riz jake domino You mean passion not compassion.
I love and respect grandpa.
Grandpa's experience gives the food ..on another other level taste and authenticity ..OG grandpa :)

Very crisp, clear video. As crisp as the mouthwatering tonkatsu & clear as the steaming miso soup side dish. Itadakimasu!
Their level of precision is insane!
Beautiful teamwork. Beautiful food. Making me hungry. Tonkatsu for lunch it is! 😂
I certainly would try every dish from there.
Amazing work all of them they work clean and really amazing staff❤❤❤❤❤

아 맛나겠다 ㅜㅜ 하지만 가지를 못하네 ...
He's secretly holding back his speed and cooking techniques
I think he is quality check every piece of pork before served it
i wonder how many years does the guy putting lettuce have to spend just putting lettuce before he can even fry something in this restaurant
610 At least a year!
hahahahaha
Your observation reminds me of Holden Caulfield.
