this is behind the counter at a local japanese bento shop.

今日は日本の弁当屋の裏側に潜入すっぞ

未来形

今回は面白れぇぞ オラ、今新橋エリアに来てるんだ

to 不定詞

We're actually in the embassy area right now known to be kind of a salaryman area here in Tokyo.

この辺は東京でサラリーマンの聖地として知られてんだ

So what better place to take you behind the counter at the window shop than this place?

オメェらを弁当屋の裏側に連れてってやろうと思ってよ

So it's about six o'clock in the morning so it's a little bit early but we're going to have to do this one a little bit different because in a way son has been cooking since midnight, that means we're going to have to help open up the store for more than 40 years, bento cano has been making delicious japanese handmade bento lunches at the affordable price of 600 yen.

午前6時でちょーっと早ぇんだけどよ

That's about $4.50 at this value and quality.

It's no surprise every day that the customer lunch lines wrap around the entire block.

井上さんが夜中から仕事を開始してるんだ

オラもオープン作業手伝わなきゃな

弁当かわのは40年以上、 うんめぇランチ用の手作り弁当を

Tell me again when you started, you made all this already.

たったの600円で売ってるんだ！ アメリカドルだと大体4.5ドルだぜ？

この価格でこの美味さだから、 毎日店の行列がすんげーのは理解できる

Apparently he originally worked as a japanese salaryman in the food industry during that time he learned that one of his coworkers, mothers was closing down her bento shop, recognizing the opportunity and a way to leave his office job.

He urged a lady to let him take over the business.

So how many do you need to make in total?

Holy Guacamole says that when he first started he could barely sell 50 bentos a day.

今日何時から仕事し始めたんだっけ？

オメェもうこれ全部作ったのか！？

He took account of what his customers liked and would then make adjustments to his cooking and many items to try to improve the results.

Finally, by his third month, his attention to detail paid off as the sales started to show growth.

井上さんは元々食品関連の会社の サラリーマンだったんだ

その時に先輩の母ちゃんがやってた 弁当屋を閉めるって聞いたらしい

良い機会だと思って、先輩の母ちゃんを説得して この弁当屋を引き継いだんだな

最初の頃は、1日50食売るのも苦労したんだって

毎日、人気商品を分析して メニューや調理法を改良し続けて

細やかなこだわりが結果を出し始めたのが３ヶ月目 売り上げが鰻登りになったんだぞ

従業員の1人が出勤したぞ〜おっす！

Okay so running a bento shop is a bit different than a regular restaurant.

どうやってこの仕事見つけたんだ？

Food served in bento boxes must be cooled down before plating.

そっか、何の勉強してるんだ？

Japanese, bentos are unique and that each one has a variety of main and side dishes to complete the set with each ingredient requiring time to rest.

科学…オンメェ頭良いんだなぁ！

じゃぁ将来は何になりたいんだ？

弁当屋を営むのって、普通のレストランとは結構違うんだ

弁当箱に入れる食いもんは、 ある程度冷ましてからいれないとダメで

日本の弁当の特徴の一つは、おかずの種類が豊富なこと

それぞれを冷まさないといけねぇから 深夜12時半に仕事を始めるんだ

休みの日は何してるんだ？ 　　

いいなー！おめぇうめーのか？

釣ったやつはもらえるんだろ？

いいなー！ドライブはどこ行くんだ？

Apparently she came many times early on to teach him which to this day, he's still grateful when he took over the bento business.

He didn't consider himself a chef at the same time working as a salaryman developing foods and having a close mentor who used to work as a japanese couple chef helped him understand the challenges ahead of him.

よっしゃ！次はメンチカツを作る準備に入っぞ

So he wasn't confident in the beginning, but hoped that through his hard work and perseverance over time he could master the skills required to create his own delicious bentos.

元オーナは作り方を教えるために 何度も店に来てくれてたらしい

井上さんはとても感謝してるんだって

He says that for three weeks the shop was closed since he had gallstones.

この商売を引き継いだ時、 井上さんは料理人じゃなかった

So it means anytime he gets sick the shop is forced to close down.

サラリーマン時代に、食品開発の仕事をしてたんだけど

Why don't you find something to cover for you?

勤め先の顧問の素晴らしい割烹料理の師匠に 料理や商売の基礎を教わったんだって

最初の頃は自信がなかったんだけど

日々頑張って修行して、腕を磨いた井上さんは めちゃんこ美味い弁当作りをマスターしたんだ

井上さんが胆石で入院した時は 3週間も店を閉めただって

体調崩したら、店を閉めることになるから大変だ！

誰か代わりに出来るやついねぇんか？　

ここで働く事の何が好きなんだ？

おめぇの嫁さんも車好きのか？

Around eight a.m. 2.5 hours before open the plating finally starts with benton.

Did you ever think you were going to be a shop owner?

8時頃、開店2時間半前から焼肉弁当を詰めていくぞ

I wrote the JR Maglev the other day, so when I and why he works so hard, he says that it's never been easy for him.

じゃぁおめぇの夢は何だったんだ？

He lost his mother in his teenage years and his father disappeared soon after that, having no relatives around to ask for help, he had to endure through this extremely tough time.

そうなんか〜オラこの間リニアに乗ったぞ！

This is when he learned that he needed to work even harder to gain people's trust and to also be thankful for any kind of help he received from others from then on he knew to never take for granted any blessings he received a lot that'll keep them busy.

井上さんに何でそんなに仕事頑張るんだ？って聞いたらよ、 大変な過去を教えてくれたんだ

Two hours to open and now two more workers have arrived.

10代で母ちゃんを亡くして、その後すぐ父ちゃんが失踪

The workers have to make more than 700 before the lunch rush.

頼れる身内が一人も居ない中で

So this edition should speed up the process.

若い歳で、とんでもなく辛れぇ時期を過ごしたんだ

この時期に、信頼してもらうには人の何倍も努力すること

What do you do after work and what do you like about this job?

周りに助けてもらったら、些細な事でも 感謝することの大切さを学んだんだ

それからというもの、 感謝は絶対に忘れないようになったんだ

One important thing about Japanese, Bento shops is that they must be extra careful about food safety.

ありがてぇことに、たくさんの人が登録してくれたけど

Bokksuが何か知らねぇやつのために詳しく話すぞ

Bendel's are designed to be able to sit on the shelf for several hours without refrigeration.

日本のうんめーお菓子とお茶のセットが 家に届くサブスクサービスなんだ

So the food must be fully cooked in hallways and says one of the tricks to help food last longer.
