this is behind the Canada at hidden Japanese soba Izakaya restaurant.

Okay so I'm back here in embassy Tokyo, one of the most favorite place for salary men to drink at night.

Transition words & phrases

This one is going to be a little bit different from the series because we're going behind at Izakaya that focuses on soba but like always before we start, if you want to see what I'm doing on the daily, check out my instagram account, if you guys wanna help with the channel then definitely check out my Tokyo and Japan merch.

Just a one minute walk from the station Hibiya exit, you'll find a local japanese soba noodle shops opened in 1975.

It's become a salary man's favorite for its large serving sizes and quality.

I guess he's the first one to arrive today.

The first thing he does is to carry all the deliveries in all delivered at the door just as the day starts to work out going back and forth.

First thing in the morning I guess those Japanese city crows don't mess around.

So the shop buys our fish directly from the Toyota fish market.

He still has about two hours before opening but he already prepares the store signs, the shop itself is tucked away in one of the areas of back alley streets.

So the science help attract passerbys and notify them that the store is open?

It can cook up the 10 noodle servings all at once.

Now the workers ready to soba dipping sauce that they started the night before.

Apparently serving speed is extremely important in busy sober shops.

So storing it in smaller bottles make serving faster and more efficient and before using the bottles, the shop washes it with the actual sauce that goes inside.

This is a traditional japanese cooking technique called G.

Which helps prevent other ingredients taste and aromas from contaminating the sauce it's being used for.

It's going to be a little more international than other videos.

Now the workers prepared various sauces served in the shop like the tempura sauce, katsu sauce and so on.

Okay so while the workers are busy on the sauces and other prep fujimori san starts cleaning the fresh fish.

He says that since he was originally a chinese food chef, he didn't know how to prepare and cut fish but from the looks of it now it seems like he's mastered the technique.

What's the hardest thing when preparing and cutting fish for example with the chewy texture?

Cut thin while a soft fatty tuna taste better cut thick.

Understanding the characteristics and textures of each fish is a critical skill required to prepare it in japan.

Really nice And while skate hey is a go to soba noodle lunch spot for locals at night.

It becomes more of a traditional Japanese Izakaya drinking restaurant offering a variety of menu items.

And this fresh fish is used for the sashimi and shimmy saba.

He's preparing the pork katsu hitters, one of my favorites.

So because the shop gets so busy during lunch time, the workers must get each item on the menu as ready as possible.

So can you be quickly cooked or fried at the time it's ordered.

Now he's going to prepare the soba U, which is served after finishing the soba noodles, soba U.

Is known to be the actual water used to cook soba noodles.

But many japanese restaurants today simply makes a soba flour with the hot water to create the nutritious soup.

What does she do, pots and pans that kitchen love?

Now he prepares the edema which are like tempura scraps used as a topping for their tanuki soba, which oddly directly translated means raccoon soba wow.

Alright here are the noodles they're freshly made in their central kitchen since they have a few different sober shops in the area.

So what's the ratio of your soba and another worker has arrived?

I see before the store opens a shop prepared samples for today's specials to set out in front and it seems like the shop is making tempura today with dried green seaweed called nori.

I guess this will also be used in the food sample dang.
