Okay, so today we are in june to Tokyo and we're going behind the counter at a traditional japanese restaurant.

今日は東京自由が丘に来てる

We're going to be doing this one.

和食料理店の裏側に密着すんだ

Just a little bit different because we're not going to start here.

いつもと違って ここから始めるんじゃなくて

But I'm actually going to take you to the fish market in Tokyo suit to start things off.

日本や日本旅行に関する質問は オラのDISCORDコミュニティーを覗いてくれよな

Well, good morning.

早速 魚市場からスタートだ

This is a trained kaiseki chef who started his own restaurant focused on serving traditional japanese dishes at a reasonable price, which is why he's at fish market this morning in search of the highest quality seasonal ingredients for the best price.

おっす！

Damn that's Morrison from how's the business?

彼は平野さん 「食い切り料理うしお」の店主だ

Good to hear.

うしおは懐石料理をお手頃な価格で楽しめる店

So here in the sun comes here 2 to 3 times a week personally hand selecting all of the ingredients for the shop and wow, there seems to be a lot of people here but the truth is that the numbers are on the low side due to japan's continued covid concerns.

朝は豊洲市場に来ることから始まる

Either way though, the market will start to get busy at around six a.m. As this is when the intermediate wholesalers start selling the seafood they purchased earlier in the auction.

旬の食材をベスト価格で手に入れるためだ

Nice!

あ、てんぷら味覚の森さんじゃねーか！

Hit on us and found a great deal on the hairy crab.

元気？

So do you have a list of ingredients to buy this morning?

店の方はどう？

Nice.

よかった

Now he's looking at Homo Ceo, which is a popular delicacy in kyoto, especially in the summer.

平野さんは週２〜3回ここに来て

Oh that's one of his kitchen workers high.

店の食材を自らの目で選ぶんだ

Despite his regular visits, he gets excited to visit the market each and every time, see what's available that day while also taking the purchasing extremely seriously.

すげぇいっぺー人がいるな

So he meticulously inspect the condition of each fish and ingredient to ensure it's always purchased at a fair price.

でも実際はコロナのせいで 少ない方なんだってさ

Apparently his master always told them Iwamoto good profits come from good purchasing.

どっちにしても 市場は午前６時ごろから混み始めるんだ

What did you buy?

仲買人がセリで落とした新鮮な魚が 店頭に並ぶ時間らしい

What do you use it for?

あ、毛蟹のいいやつを見つけたみてぇだ

You know everyone here, how he also compared to the old fish market.

今日買うものは決まってんの？

So he has been coming to the fish market for decades way before it moved from easy to Toyo su.

鱧を見てる

Which has allowed him to develop many strong relationships over the years.

京料理でよく使われる食材だ

It's provided him a deeper insight on the best purchases and helped him hone his already experienced.

特に夏の間にな

What's that?

平野さんとこの板前さんだ おっす！

Basically, all the regular buyers like you're innocent are registered in a sign designated areas at the market where the intermediate wholesalers can conveniently deliver their purchase goods.

平野さんはよくここに来てるわけだけど

Now that all the seafood is purchased the to do what any civilized buyer would do, grab a quick breakfast at the market.

毎回違う魚があるから、楽しみなんだって

That's what I'm talking about.

それと同時に、仕入れは毎度真剣勝負だ

But how is the fish today?

魚や食材の状態を細かくチェックして

Restaurant going to be okay.

常に適正な価格で仕入れられるようにしてるんだ

So restaurants at the market are known to serve?

師匠の教え「利は元にあり」ってのを大切にしてるんだ

Pretty amazing food?

利益は上手な仕入れから生まれてくるって意味だ

Probably even more understandable, knowing that they also want to serve highly skilled and trained chefs like Iran Hassan, they're still going to shop separate from the fish market and located in different buildings.

何買ったの？

There's other goods like this conveniently located in the Toyota complex.

何に使うやつなんだ？

What's that skilled japanese chef?

ここの人みんな知り合いなのか？

It's not only important to understand how to prepare and cook the food, but the chef must also have a deep understanding and knowledge about each ingredient used around nine a.m. He's finally back at the restaurant.

築地と比べて豊洲はどう？

So what do you need to do first morning?

平野さんは築地が豊洲に移転するずいぶん前から 市場に何十年も通ってるから

What time did you come in today?

おかげでたくさんの人と 信頼関係が築けて

What have you been doing during this time?

長い買い付けの経験を通して、目利きの力を養ったんだな

Like what?

それ何？

So how long has it been since you opened this restaurant, jeez, Why did you decide to open during this time?

平野さんみたいなバイヤーはみんな登録してて 指定された場所があるんだ

Makes sense?

そこに仲買業社が購入品を運んでくれるようになってる 便利だな！

Iced tea.

仕入れが済んだら市場で朝飯を食うぞ

Thank you.

そうこなくっちゃ

So before starting this restaurant, he was head chef of a well established Kaiseki restaurant, managing more than 10 restaurants, each with 100 person capacity.

今日の魚はどうだった？

And the workers here also work together with your innocent at the time.

店は大丈夫なのか？

The group developed a strong bond and trust during their time together.

市場の飲食店はうまい店が多いんだ

So I decided to open up this shop, they all decided to go with him by the way.

平野さんみてぇな舌の肥えた食のプロが 食べる場所って思うと当然だよな

What does that mean?

まだ買い物すんのか？

You must like the ocean too?

魚市場とは別の建物には魚以外のもんが売ってんだ

Right now.

それ何？

The workers preparing the rice using cozy carry rice from Niigata.

プロの職人は調理だけじゃなくて 素材に関して深い理解をしてないといけねぇんだ

The rice itself has been washed and soaked since the morning and now it's finally cooked, how much do you make every day?

9時過ぎ、店に帰ってきたぞ

Wow!

最初にすることは？

You even spend time arranging flowers in the morning, You must really like flowers.

今日は何時出勤？

Japan itself is naturally blessed with a variety of foods from the ocean mountains, rivers and fields helping create Japan's rich cuisine.

今まで何してたんだ？

And to add to this experience, it's common and more traditional restaurants decorated with Japan's beautiful seasonal flowers and leaves to accompany its seasonal ingredients.

店オープンして何年くらい？

Oh the workers making dashi Dashi is definitely one of the key elements in traditional japanese cuisine.

なんでその時にオープンしようと思ったんだ？

There's so many different types of dashi broth, like bonito flakes, kombu, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, etcetera can help create the perfect umami for each dish.

なるほどね

In fact that she is so fundamental that without a God AsCIi, the restaurants by many Japanese would not be considered worthwhile and tirana son is well aware of this, although originally from the um The Gucci Prefecture, he started a study of Japanese culinary arts at 18 years old here in Dhaka.

冷てぇお茶 ありがとう

He later moved to a different part of Tokyo but the area made such a lasting impression on him that he decided to open up shop here knowing that there's a lot of great clientele.

この店始める前は 懐石料理店の総料理長として長く働いてたんだ

So are you married?

100名近い板場の店を10店舗以上も管理してたんだぞ！

How long do you have any kids?

実は、ここの料理人はその時一緒に働いてた人たちなんだ

What does he do?

一緒に働く中で絆と信頼があったから

Really awesome did you teach him how to cook.

平野さんが開店した時 みんな一緒についてきたんだな〜

That's nice by the way.

うしおってどういう意味？

If you didn't notice Hirano san used a specialized cutting board set up called the gotta sink?

海好きなのか？

A rather common design in many japanese restaurants and shops situated just above the sink.

It allows the chef to prepare raw fish in a clean environment.

It got busy real quick since the orders require so many different dishes, the team must work efficiently so all the customers receive their orders in a timely manner.

これも弁当のおかずだ

In addition to this, when the customers finish, it's also an extra load for the team to wash all the different dishes.

ところで奥さんは何してんの？
