when he said 100 push-ups I thought he was going to ad "100 sit-ups, 100 squats, then a 10k run" lol

I LOVE that you document both the large and small establishments. Going through each one of them really makes me feel like I'm experiencing Japan through you.

When a burnt wall is an acceptable part of the restaurant aesthetic, you know the chicken is good.

I feel like this man would make a reliable uncle who gives you profound advice when life becomes a bit too much

"I respect young people's ideas. It's better than the ideas coming from my old brain." This actually means a whole lot coming from a man who said that he messed around a lot as a kid. He could easily think that young peoples' ideas are rubbish based on how he was, and he'd find plenty of people to tell him he's right. But he chooses differently. Good on him, and God bless.

That 80yo mom, leaving the shop alone, backpack on her back, coming to work, working, then leaving without help nor complaint, so old yet so strong. amazing...simply amazing.

- The way he waved to bye his mom - The way he said when he asked, 'is it hard to do all the things alone?' (it's harder on the customer to wait for me) - The way he said his coach can do 100 pullups but he can do only 5 He is a good heart man and so humble, that's why his food tastes good.

Yeah right, a humble Japanese man tells you he's not that good at karate. Translation, he'll knock your head off as you blink:face-green-smiling:

I love that there's charcoal smoke evidence right on the building. It adds to the umami, for sure.

When uncle said he used to flee from challenges I could relate so much, but seeing his hardwork now inspires me to be constant as well. Truly appreciate that now he's so passionate about what he does that he doesn't even think about retiring. It's a remarkable quality in Japanese people. Also chiyu is so tasteful, anytime we bake chicken tights I use the rendered chicken fat to eat with rice and some peppers. The chicken broth boiling for 10 hours or more made me drool. Just love long-time cooking broths! Wish all the best to uncle and Paolo's family ❤️

I've never heard of Fire Chicken before, but oh my god, I am HUNGRY for some Fire Chicken now. It looks INCREDIBLY delicious. Thanks for always working hard, Paolo. It's crystal clear that you love what you do, and it makes us viewers happy to see you happy. It's infectious! I love the effort you put into your content, and it truly shows in your Behind the Counter series. What an awesome channel, you and the people behind the scenes deserve so much praise.

These need to be longer! Its too good to be this short! Also I personally love seeing/hearing more of the customers interviews

This is perfect for when I go to Fukuoka in a month! Japanese chicken is the best!!!! 😋

1:25 - that parking garage is spotless !

I’m really aspired to be like this one day. One man show running a restaurant, with only few customers at one time during the evening. This guy’s composure and confident is beyond anybody I know. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

You know you've found the right charcoal chicken spot when the entire front facade of the building is blackened by fire

I really admire all the work and enthusiasm jappanese put in their shop or job. They make their daily jobs seem more interesting and also very authentic. ❤

Always happy when I see a paolo from tokyo notification on my phone. 🤗 you guys are the best
