Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu Beef Farmer
A day in the life of a Japanese Wagyu Beef Farmer AKA Japanese wagyu cattle farmer. This video helps explain what is wagyu beef and how it is made in Japan, specifically Miyazaki Beef 宮崎牛 a premium Wagyu. We follow, Ryuji, who runs a Japanese wagyu cattle farm in Miyazaki. As mentioned in the video, if you want to help support the farm check out
This is Ryuji's typical day a day a wagyu farmer from morning until evening. We even visit a Japanese Wagyu Cattle auction during his day and see him sell 3 of of his Japanese kuroge black haired cows. Ryuji raises Miyazaki Gyu, Gyu meaning beef, from Japanese Black Haired cattle, a brand of Wagyu. Wagyu literally translated means Japanese Beef, but all beef raised in Japan domestically is not considered Wagyu. Wagyu is a premium grade beef in Japan and refers specifically to four breeds of cattle - Black hair, Brown hair, Polled and Shorthorn raised and bred in Japan with the strictest guidelines and requirements ultimately producing a high-end quality Japanese beef known worldwide for it’s beautiful marbling and deep umami flavor.
In fact, Japan has over 200 premium Wagyu brands throughout the country each with its own unique methods to raise it’s cattle, The Kobe Beef brand, is probably the most known overseas because it was the first wagyu brand promoted internationally due it being located at one Japan’s largest port cities. Ryuji’s Miyazaki Beef brand, specifically produces the highest grade of Wagyu possible, A4 and A5 quality, which is one of the reasons why Miyazaki Beef is one of the leading wagyu brands in Japan

Do in the day of a Japanese 3-D animator
*with respect ❤I invite everyone for quran recitation thank you* ❤❤💔💔
thanks paolo!
Need... More... Day in the life it's so amazing and interesting. Maybe a day in the life of a Japanese cafe owner
We still want Day in the Life of a Japanese Yakuza member.
Give directions to lost tourists in tokyo
super interested!
They're pretty rare though
Yeah, I've been waiting for over a year now.
Tojo clan members will be better

Okay, that vet should be part of your Day in the Life. His work is so interesting.
commenting to help get this to the top. that would be super cool. maybe not feasible as every farmer he visits for the day would have to also sign off on allowing him to film.
I agree
I completely agree. I would love to see a Vet day in the life especially for the different types of vets.
Ahreed
Yass
Honestly, the cleanliness of those places is impeccable. It amazes me. I grew up on a farm in America and we bought / sold cattle at auction and it's a clear 180 from how clean and organized they are in Japan. Amazing.
That's the Japanese for you. Everything is super clean. I think it's super cool, but to me it felt somewhat uncomfortable to walk the streets there, since they were clean/planned to the point of perfection. Almost sterile. I'm used to more 'natural' planning with uncut trees and greenery within the city. A matter of preference i suppose.
@@Sennken yeah i dont want to say double edged swords because most japanese dont feel that coming back but it tries to be so perfect that when things get out of place it kinda because a big deal . it sucks and its not even the governement. its the people who want those strict rulesets. and its not like its a bad thing but it just sucks when you want to have a just a little bit of freedom
@@Sennken weird take lol but i get your point of view. But for me i will much rather prefer that there are places where i go that the sidewalks has a lot of garbage like chip bags, bottles ( plastic and cans ), bags, cigs is nasty but oh well that’s what you expect when you go to ghetto parts
@@Sennken I’m a very clean person in general so I would thrive in Japan lol
not all barns are that way, but I'd say for sure as a kid you'd never have seen the dirt you see now
I REALLY liked this episode. Can we see more about rural and agricultural Japan!??!?!?!?!
YES!!!!!!
yessss its beautiful and feels free
Yesssss!!! Agreee
I agree!
There is so much focus on big cities, Tokyo in particular, I really enjoy seeing small town Japan and more agriculture based videos!
At this rate of quality content and Paolo basically have access to literally everything and everyone, I wouldn't be surprised if Paolo has an episode of "Day in the Life of a Japanese Emperor".
I want Paolo to do a "Day in the life" video on Noriyuki Saneda, the actor. He's in a Science Fiction movie I love called Sunshine, which also had Benedict Wong, Michelle Yeoh, Troy Garhity, Cliff Curtis, Rose O'Bryne, Cillian Murphy, Chris Evens, andark Strong. Mr. Saneda was also in the movie Life, which also had Rebecca Ferguson, Jake Gyllenhaal in it.
I agreelol
“This is a day in the life of Kim Jong-Un”
It would be princess now but I get what you mean :P
I am waiting for day in a life of a Yakuza.
As an American farmer, it's always interesting to see how my colleagues from around the world do things. Plus some farm families near me had the privilege of hosting a group ag students from Japan.
Same here. I love seeing different methods of doing something. Sometimes it helps me make the process of creating art more interesting and fun as well learning new styles. Like recently I'm learning to add pop art in a manga style. It's a lot of fun
What were your thoughts on this Adam? Are there big differences in methods?
@@AlphaSniperAcademy yeah there's some differences, but it always amazes me how similar we are no matter where our farms happen to be
@@adambowman8543 hello from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩 we are now here is facing into enlightment periode in agriculture by the innovation from local farmer not academist "biosaka" => can reduce above 50% of chemical fertilizer and "jakaba"
I prefer all cattle except the ones with mad cow disease.
Every place in Japan, from home to office to store to restaurant to farm, seems so clean, organized and well-maintained. Much respect to the Japanese culture for taking so much pride in their environment and surroundings.
Unlike stoopid American Trump supporters
I met Paolo on the plane after he was filming this video. Super nice guy! Thanks for showing off Miyazaki!
Hi Taylor, yes you did! Thanks for saying hello.
That has to be a blessing!
Lucky guy.
VERY GOOD TAYLOR YOU MET PAOLO

This series completes me.
The only downside to these videos is that they're not 25+ minutes long. WE DEMAND MORE MINUTES PAOLO 🗣🗣🗣 even if they seem bland
Bruh, not to hate on the main dude but dating a coworker? Bit sus ngl.
@@labadaba5088 maybe they knew each other in college and then they became coworkers? Who knows doesn’t have it to be the way you said
@@simonediliberto4314 Yeah, you're def right. I suppose I've been exposed to too much feminist propaganda...
@@labadaba5088 ？？？
I'm really taken with how friendly "the competition" is, how he learns from older and more experienced farmers who, in places like the US, would be considered your rival and unwilling to share what they know, as that would give you an advantage. Even asking fellow artists for what kinds of materials they use elicits a safeguarding response! I love the sense of community rather than rivalry!
That’s not been my experience as someone(in the US) who’s improving their art skills and has learned A LOT from other artists willing to share
@@GlamGoddes101 it's definitely a mixed bag, but that's not to say that there aren't some really amazing and friendly artists out there that are willing to help you out either! There are plenty that have no problem telling you what size canvas they usually use, but then there are others where you ask what their brush settings are and you get the silent treatment haha, my comment was kind of exaggerating I admit!
There is so much sharing in the United States amongst farmers. There is definitely competition, but friendly competition in my experience. I am not sure where you are or what direct experience you had with farmers, but my experiences have been great. If you actually spent time in a farming community in the US and felt it was not friendly, I don't know what to tell you other than that you may have been the problem. I have seen rivals, but it was specific people. Maybe a bad land deal or someone rubbing another the wrong way, but it seems rare and isolated to a specific rival (a farmer may be unfriendly with one specific rival but still friendly with the rest of the farmers in the area).
@@RealzFoSho I am not a farmer, so that may be my problem lmao in my original comment, I'm referring more to just the business end of any profession in general, I can't speak specifically for farmers because I'm not one, but as an artist, many popular artists are unwilling to share their manufacturers for products they may be selling, for fear of revealing the opportunity to other artists that may replace them. It's something that happens everywhere in any trade, so it's ignorant to assume that whole communities are good and willing to help someone that shares their audience, and vice versa there aren't all bad communities either. Like my previous comment stated, it's a mixed bag.
Most of them will probably have family ties.
This was probably one of the best and most informative Day In The Life videos you have done. This guy seems to really enjoy what he does..
Lowkey hoped Paolo would ask the cows “what do you do here?” When he was walking around the farm. 😂
Lmfao good one 🤣
They just Mooove along.
@@davepratt9909 :O
Lols
LOLOLOLOLLOLLLLLL
That dynamic is great. The son inheriting the business putting in legwork with his best friend at his side throughout all operations. His girlfriend even puts in work. It was great seeing something outside of Tokyo and I would love to live a life like this. Also, him seeing his parents throughout the day really ties it together.
You'd like to work 18 hours a day and sleep 6? Yeah, sounds amazing.
@@theglowcloud2215 He’s young and strong plus he doesn’t go to auction every day so most other days are probably a lot less busy. Still a great lifestyle.
@@theglowcloud2215 the difference is that he's rich and you are an azz
@@theglowcloud2215 that's why you typing that from your basement living off your mom.
That was the highlight of this episode, wish I saw my parents everyday
"Just as we manage the cattle's health condition, we also pay attention to our own health" *proceedes to smoke 5 cigarettes a day*
never know, maybe his Dad smoked, its addicting even as secondhand smoke
It was way more than 5 cigs…
My dad is a chain smoker and I can't stand cigarettes. I don't think second smoke is addicting at all.
This was so interesting to watch! There is so much to do in a day working at the wagyu farm. I really love this series so much!💖
I’ve always wanted a “how we shoot a day in the life videos”
Yeah right, we always get like 10 shots per second I wanna know how
Yea and they always have footage of before they meet up
Excellent idea. Totally interested as long time viewer.
@@rodyinjapan A Day in the Life of a Day in Life!
yeah, me too. i'd especially like to know how they film those early morning shots with the alarm clock going off.
I'm just so happy seeing young people taking up "traditional" jobs and modernizing them.
@ᶠᵘᶜ-ᵏ ᵐᵉ cнёcк ʍʏ ρяσfιℓ shut up
His father is a owner of the farm which has about 600 cows.We can said his family is wealthy but still living in a small size apartment,driving a van & eat breakfast from combishop.Opposite from western youngest.This guy is humble & know his place
Huge generalization, but okay.
why are so many people online obsessed with money and wealth? Who cares? People are different regardless of money background.
@@ForceField9 I bet it's all the rap songs bragging about wealth
That apartment is larger than many we've seen in this series -- larger than Paolo's, and the farmer and his girlfriend don't have a child. Of course, this is a rural area, so it's less expensive, but still. And as a farmer, he's not going to be swanning around in expensive clothes or cars. It wouldn't play well among his fellow farmers. I've known plenty of American farmers in my time. Their kids haven't been pretentious wastrels either.
That´s because he´s pulling his weight on his job. With how busy they both are, taking care of big apartment and sitting in restaurant will take too much of their free time. Plus considering where they live, luxurious cars like BMW or lamborghini won´t last long.
These Day in the Lifes are so awesome, getting to see the differences between (in my example german) different cultures is what it's al about. Please keep these coming.
Same
Can you possibly make a “Day in the Life of a Japanese Vet” video one day?
plssss I'm a vet student, and I'm so curious about htis
@@PandaBear-qy8oq There probably aren’t many of them under the age of 90 - at least not combat veterans
There are more videos to come for sure but Covid certainly doesn't help
Just for clarification, I meant vet as in Veterinarian.
yes it would be awesome!!
Out of all the day in the lives ive seen, this dude seems like hes got it the best. Not a slave to a giant corporation, going home in the dark to sleep in a tiny box.
he seems wealthy
only to wake up the next day at 6am to repeat the circle...many of us doing that though.
@@buildTheWALLNOW yea that cycle when i first finished college was kinda daunting. i think i have a decent work life balance now since i get a decent amount of vacation vs most other americans. but OP brings up a good point about how depressing the other ppl shown on this series are living in small tokyo apartments going to work, coming home to read manga, then repeating.
@@brimmed It's also because they're still very much living with COVID, so things aren't 100% in terms of socializing and stuff.
Well, that's work.
I love this series of a day in the life, especially how Japanese are so proud of the work they have, even though they are not CEO of big companies or work in corporations. I hope I see these kind of content in the Philippines as well, instead of seeing pranks, unending unboxing, and home tours. Kudos Paolo!
I randomly had a strong interest in seeing how rice is farmed, and thought it would be lovely to see you do an episode surrounding that Paolo! Love your videos.
”Is she your friend?” ”No it’s my mother” *curb your enthusiasm
🤣🤣🤣
she looks so young
Well taken care of just like miyazaki cattle
Yeah, that was surprising. She looks young enough to be the daughter of his father! I mean, I know they're farmers and all but this isn't Alabama.

"We take care of our health aswell" Continues to smoke throughout the episode.
Cigarettes are good for your health.
the cigarettes' was made from wagyu beef from his farm
@@purple00134 true, cigarettes are good for your health as long as you don't believe in those science nonsense
I find it ironic too 🤣

I recently bought a certified miyazaki gyu a5 ribeye. May very well be from one of his cows. Absolutely life changing experience. Not too many community college grads here in the states can say following their dream gives so so many people such joy.
love to keep watching " Day in life " videos again and again. Thank you so much for making this kind of videos, btw cant wait to see next videos.
Paolo: ls she your friend? Ryuji: Thats my mother😆
😂lol her mother was so young
@@aneeshchowdhury3856 *Asians*
As an Asian we get made fun of looking young. Now jokes on them for looking old af.
LMFAO 😂 that was funny indeed.
@@Opalivian making fun for looking young is like making fun of someone for being rich. Its not a thing
Paolo: 'How much do you smoke everyday'? Ryuji: 'Yes'
I Lost the count of how many cigarettes he smoked 👁️👄👁️
That's one of the first things I noticed as well, also all of them smoking inside. He seems like a chain smoker possibly.
im using the same iQOS seen 0:23 and stops lighting regular cigarette, i can't say its less harmful as advertise but definitely less odor and feels light.
13:37 "But first, another cigarette break." Ha ha. I really wanted a cigarette counter graphic in this video.
My guess is between 1-2 packs a day.. That kinda crazy lol.. Or maybe my guess is off.
One of your best videos yet! The longer runtime and the fact that it treats the subject of one of Japan's most important cultural, agricultural, and culinary subjects is just what I'm looking for when it comes to these "Day in a Life" videos.
My grandfather was a dairy farmer who belonged to a cooperative in the local market. He once too me to market in this isolated area. I remember he gave my bid of twenty-five cents for a cardboard box of puzzles. I remember doing those puzzles in the cold and snowed in conditions in upper state New York. Lovely family remembrance.
Paolo, the next episode of "Day In the Life" should be that veterinarian
i thought the same thing!
He looks straight out of an anime.
Hahaha great idea!!
Yes. Support🔥
As a vet med student, it would be so interesting to me
Paolo is single-handedly carrying KZhead for me. I can't find any more interesting KZhead channels.

Thank you so much Paolo this video as all your others was so interesting!!! Looking forward to the next video! Love from Maine USA
as i am sitting here watching this video and listening to everything. I cannot help but be reminded of the childrens shows when i was growing up where they visited farms and other places and explained about everything that went on there and who did what and when and why. This video really made me smile and enjoy it, thanks for posting such an informative entertaining video
Cow: " I'm hungry" Farmer: '' Where do you want straw ?'' Cow: ''mmmm, Straight on my face sir!, Arigatōgozaimashita!''
You just killed me 😂😂😂😂
This is done similar everywhere - also in Europe the cows get it straight on the face. I think it is because they are already so anxious to get food, that they block the space with their heads and if you put it somewhere else they would not be able to reach it anymore :D
@@janbening5418 spot on!
I died laughing because he kept throwing the food at his face 😂😂😂
XD I saw that I kept laughing 14:10
Can we all appreciate the fact that Paolo never disappointed us with his content 👍
😊
Ryuji doing his work with his best mate is so wholesome and fulfilling man
Wow, this reminds me of the cattle auction I went to with my Grandpa when I was small, in South Africa. Amazing to see the similarities, but also the modernisations.

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! 💪💰
That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we achieve this challenge?
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?
Really love your day in the life series. Interesting to see different cultures and how people do their jobs. I would love to see a day in the life of a railroad worker in Japan as it’s the job I do here in the USA.

When your job is very physical and time sensitive it's common for you to smoke due to the stress.
@@3darkn1t this does not make sense at all. If you're stressed you do some sport to get rid of the stress hormones. But you're definetly not starting to smoke due to stress.
@@colahunter8180 Its common that smoking helps relieve stress because nicotine gives a sense of relaxation. But yes obviously working out would be a way better option :)

Thank you for the content!! Your smile is everything (respectively) ✌🏾
The amount of pride and respect the Japanese have for one another is amazing. Makes me want to live there
Bro, Japan has the highest percentage of suicides in the entire 1st world. It's all a façade.
They're full
If you’re bowing to everyone 5 times do you have respect or do you just have a weird habit with no meaning behind it. You can’t tell really.
Until you realize that Japan doesn't respect Foreigners, you are an oddity or curiosity at best. Its legal and acceptable practice for housing to flat out reject anyone who is not native born Japanese from renting an apartment or buying a home in Japan, even if they are a permanent resident of Japan or became a Japanese citizen (which requires being a resident of japan for over 5 years for a foreigner, and jumping through so many hoops you essentially need to hire an agency that specializes in the paperwork.)
Japan is one of the most xenophobic places around. Unfortuantely, not really a place for the rest of us.
I love how he’s smoking a cigarette during the auction, no f’s given😂
first time i see a japanese smoking hahah
@@cindynascimento7361 The Japanese are known for smoking 🚬
And in the barn.. Adds some smokiness to the taste I guess lol
Oh really i thought they was concerned about their health
@@joelebbi3774 Of course smoking affects health. What part of inhaling a burning plant sounds healthy to you?
Ty, excellent video. I had no idea how late some work. It shows true dedication to his animals! I had my first A5 here in Florida from Japan. It was extremely tender. I'd love to order some from this farmer!
This is easily the best episode you have done.
As an Iowa farmer. It’s weird to me that he doesn’t live on the farm. What if something happens to your cows and your not there? But this is very interesting to see how other people farm.
My guess is his dad, who still runs the business, lives on the farm. Maybe in the future Ryuji will live on the farm.
His father probably lives on the land nearby as it is still his. But the town they live in isn't that big and the son and the workers probably all live within 10-15min drive and can get to the farm very quickly in the event of an emergency. Most likely the son will move onto the farm estate once he takes over/gets married etc. but you can't blame him for having a little distance from the parents with a live in girlfriend, might get weird during frisky nights.
I was looking for a farmer from somewhere like Iowa
When you no longer live in the farm, that's the sign that you have made it
@@Waterbug1591 shit taste good
As a veterinarian I love this episode
i almost thought you said “vegetarian”
Great job on the angles!!! Feels really interactive!
This was really neat to watch how cattle farmers work in Japan. These cows are very calm.
This was one of the better episodes imo. So much dedication towards their work. Im dead tired sitting at a computer from 7-5 5 days a week. I cant imagine the Japanese workstyle. Mad respect.
I've worked em all from pipeline work in the oilfields doing 7-5 6 days a week to working 7-5 5 days a week answering calls from my pc and let me tell you that I prefer being out in the sun doing manual labor than being in the damn home office. If you like the work or the $$$ you'll forget you're tired.
Being physically inactive makes you tired
I’m obsessed with this series but I also understand it takes a lot of time to film these. Could you do Day in the Life of a Tuna Fisherman?
Can you do the life of a voice actor/actress.

Lol!
15:27 At first I was amazed that they were done with work by 7pm but of course they had to come back to continue working till midnight lol
I thought the exact same. I was like "Since when do workers in Japan end their day of work at 7:00pm?!"
What can we say? All Japanese put their heart into whatever kind of job they are in. Really inspiring!
As a volunteer cattle and sheep farmer on my family's 20 acre lifestyle block, I found this episode to be one of the best, and you've done some good ones in the past! How I'd love to have some of the "toys" Ryuji and his family have access to! It's all pretty much manual labour for me. That said, when the cattle are on the farm here, I only have to keep an eye on them most of the time, since they just forage in the fields on their own (except when droughts arrive, then it's feeding out 3-4 times a day... by hand... with no machinery...). Ryuji's cattle are fine-looking animals, and he sure does have the touch of handling such big beasts. I get nervous dealing with heifers or steers once they pass the 200kg mark, as I know what it feels like to be trodden on by one of them. Ouch. Fortunately, my family moves its cattle on to the sales around the 450kg mark, so I don't have to deal with the "car on 4 hooves" that Ryuji does, ha ha. What a difference it makes having the animals penned, though - makes them much more docile and manageable. When cattle are in the open fields, they get a very "independent attitude" happening, which makes shifting them, without dogs mind you, quite the challenge. The only disappointing thing I found in the whole video was seeing Ryuji and his GF puffing away like chimneys on their "ciggies". I know smoking is still a lot more prevalent in Asian countries than most western ones, but it still felt a bit of a "let down" to see two young people destroying their lungs, while working in the countryside, with those vile "cancer sticks". Maybe he'll wake up one day and "learn" how much damage tar and smoke does to his lungs, before it's too late.
Paolo is regressing across the food production chain. First it was Chef then the Butcher now the Farmer? In a few episodes he's gonna be interviewing the Sun and then God himself lol.
Funny man
No, next he will interview a cow
He's going Table to Farm
@@slickrick2420 Day in the life of a Japanese cow
If any of u are interested whats an agricultural school like or how it is like in Japan I recommend u watch "Gin no saji" or " Silver spoon". A super chill and laid back anime where a kid studies in an agricultural school.
I love this comment. I just mentioned how much Ryuji reminded me of Hachiken. :) I love Gin no Saji. :D
That anime was so wholesome and cool! Definitely recommend it
I Love That Anime, My Favorite Episode Is Hachiken Making Pizza And Visit The Family Of The Girl He Had A Crush On It's A very Good Anime
@@shirahime23 Really? I think he´s more like Tamako tha Hachiken.
Amazing how A Japanese Wagyu Beef Farmer can do his job every day. I like the Day in the life Series on your KZhead channel, Paolo! : )
i really like this as it dosent focus on city life but rural aswell and i for some reason really like that aspect of japan
Seriously one of the best KZhead series in all of the world.
What about the universe?
This series reduces my stress level all the way down because it reminds me that everyone has a purpose in life and that you can have a fullfilling life dpepending on what you do with it. Paolo keep up the good work. 😊
YES!
bro make more of these i finished all your day in the life videos and know i gotta re watch 😭
Great content! And great view and editing! Just like pro video maker!! Thanks for the excellent theme like this!!!
This hits different, most of the time Paolo films at the cities like Tokyo and I'm getting used to it. This rural place is fresh to my eyes feels so relaxing 😌
Yesssss 😭
Wow! as always Paolo serving us premium quality video! It really amazes me how Japanese are so humble and hard worker even tho they are the owner of the said company. Not to mention very hands-on in everything regarding their business. And they even have a restaurant! Thank you again Paolo for such an educational video. There are a lot of people who are copying your series. But you are still and will always be the best!
That is very hard work. I take my hat off to the two for doing a brilliant job and for caring for the cattle.
as a vet student i always feel obligated to watch videos like this. agriculture is so interesting! also very cool to see the high quality wagyu cows like this. im hoping to get to work for a week at a wagyu feedlot farm placement this year here is aus. Also, cows need way more credit. They're really awesome animals to work with. Intimidating to work with at first, but quite sweet and curious animals. Big props to all the large animal veterinarians. It's definitely not easy work and dangerous too. 10 farms a day! That's incredible. I can't imagine having to pull multiple calves a day. Ouch.
i just realize they kept so many cats to prevent rats at the farms...
Wouldn’t you use ratting dogs rather than cats for that purpose?
@@dodoweirdo In my area farmers introduced stoats to kill rats, however they all escaped and now live along the water ways
@@nahum3557 I had never heard of a stoat before. Had to look it up.
@@anonimuso They're pretty feisty little creatures
@@dodoweirdo barn cats are pretty common
The people of japanese have so much respect and pride in everything they do. Love it
WOW! I'm not ever going to complain about the price of Wagyu anymore!
New to your channel and this was a great video and very informative.
Paolo, I have to say that I truly enjoy this series of different jobs in Japan. I watch them on repeat bcs it´s not only educational but relaxing as well. I hope you won´t stop with this series of yours. Many of us love it.
i agreed .. feel the same way
Having often spent my summer holidays visiting my uncles organic farm in Cyprus I can tell you that the cleanliness of those premises is exceptional. It really amazes me how well the cattle there are taken care of. Not surprising to me now having spent a couple of years living in Japan on and off but still pretty amazing.
Beautiful! It’s nice to see work outside of an office (nothing wrong with an office job, but a change in scenery is great). 🧡🧡
This was very informative. It was also entertaining. Thank you.
A day in the life of a japanese barber would be super interesting
Watch ‘Natsuki the movie’ 😁
@@suzyq8134 I was just about to say that 😂
Day in the life of Sweeney Todd even moreso
Hi, if you like cooking, feel free to check out my recipes ;-)
Natsuki crossover episode!
When he pours the food on top of the cows face😂 Casually smoking and working with his bestfriend, man is living the dream!
Normal - the cows are so greedy that they always stick out their heads :D
it's amazing how Much care they put in to the cows to produce such a good product. I have not had the ability to try but I'll put it as a must try soon. thank you
That's cool how the people in the video can hear your narration.
This series is so fucking well made
I agree! I like how it documents how people in Japan don't wear masks when they could easily do so
@@dj_laundry_list wtf is wrong with you
@@dj_laundry_list sheep
@@dj_laundry_list Maybe they just value not being stressed and fearful over getting covid
@@confidential5743 Hopefully they are not stressed and fearful over getting covid, but what does that have to do with taking precautions to not spread the disease, like wearing masks?
this video is actually pretty helpful for me because i'm learning about cattle on farms in my high school vet class
cool!
Really enjoyed watching this, Congratulations Paolo from TOKYO. Great Video.
