  • A day in the life of Japanese Master Chef in Tokyo Japan. Working in Japan as a masterchef in Tokyo not only must you prepare delicious food in your Japanese restaurant, but must also throughout the Japanese work day, manage all the different staff, issues and business requirements. Life in Japan for a Japanese Chef working in Tokyo is quite demanding so a Master Chef in Japan must have passion for his work. Life in Toyo for a Japanese world class chef or a Japanese expert chef is also challenging because of the long work hours. In fact, the average working day in Japan for many salarymen or Japanese office workers are quite long, but a Japanese master chef can also have long Japanese work day hours, especially if the Master Chef in Japan has to run multiple restaurants. Japan food industry is also competitive so food quality is key and regular food tastings are a must. Born in Kobe, known for its mountains, ocean, sake and Kobe Beef as well as traveling the world, all helped inspire Hal Yamashita to create a new style cuisine called Shin Washoku, which utilizes modern techniques to bring out the full potential of Japanese ingredients. One of Hal’s specialties is his Signature rolled Kobe-Beef filled with Sea Urchin and topped with smoked caviar. But as master chef, he’s able to prepare Kobe Beef in many different ways making his Japanese restaurant one of the best places to eat Japanese Kobe Beef in Tokyo. Hal's main Japanese restaurant is called Hal Yamashita Tokyo in Roppongi Midtown and in this video we also visit Tokyo Entotsu and Hal Yamashita Otemachi Lounge. This is Japan work day of a Japanese master chef.

      @@Spet23Snaz i'm finishing up my m2 year in med school and i think sleeping only 4 hours doing your PREMED is definitely overkill. While doing my pre-med BA I only studied like 2 hours a day and still passed with a 3.7 gpa taking average of 15 credit semesters while working and commuting about 40 minutes. I think you should reevaluate your study techniques/time management or you are going to have really rough days ahead my friend. Just thought I would give you a heads up, since the workload just about triples.

    Did anyone noticed how the masterchef isn't your typical japanese guy that focuses on seniority and age and old time tradition? Anyone noticed how his staff seems so comfortable with him? the first meeting the staff didn't even stood up (which is extremely impolite for traditional japanese), he was the closest to the door and his secretary seems so bright and smiling and not the straight back, hands folded secretary of other people.

      Jacky Phantom Then that’s not a fact, it’s a stereotype. I have the opposite impression; Chinese/korean friends of mine are equally hard working and diligent at what they do. Check what you’re saying my guy; it’s not true whatsoever and just anecdotal experience is a very good indication that your opinion is totally inaccurate, maybe even racist.

    • @platonicexorcism5077
      @platonicexorcism5077 Před 3 lety +3

      Jacky Phantom Because it’s not the truth. Stereotypes that negatively project “other” people, are usually based around racist stereotypes. I agree that stereotypes have some basis in truth, but in this instance assuming that certain Asian people are lazy is encouraging hate. Have you personally had friendships with Chinese people? Learned things about them outside of the media? Talking about Chinese in a racist way is unsurprising considering we’re in a trade war in the US with the Chinese government, but it’s important to remember that it’s both overblown and doesn’t apply to the people. It’s the government that’s shitty, not the people.

They think that they can just open a business, "chill" by hiring people, and become an absentee owner. No, to be successful you're gonna need to work 12 hour days. All that 4 hour work day/week is BS for the most part. To get to that point, it takes a lot of effort. If it was so "easy" to be a successful owner everybody would be doing it.

      Well, most people don't give their very soul to their job because it usually isn't their passion. If you work where your passions lie, it's not insane to do! It feels good!

      Lets not forget that some ppl can’t even sleep right away. So, it’s more like 3-4hrs.

    He seems to truly love what he does. I'm sure the road to where he is now was very difficult and full of hard work, but now he enjoys the fruit of his labor. Sure his days are long, but he looks happy doing it. He's earned every bit of it!
