This is Behind the Counter at a Local Japanese Portside Tuna Restaurant in Misaki Port 2 hours south of Tokyo. It’s a maguro tuna speciality shop, Kurobatei, nestled for more than half a century in the heart of a local Japanese fisherman’ town. The shop serves ultra fresh sashimi and their signature maguro dishes. This Japan hidden gem restaurant offers a dining experience with the freshest ingredients, passion-infused local craftsmanship all with a warm family vibe. We even visit the the Misakoi Port fish market which has been the lifeblood of this port city for over a 100 years and designed as a wholesaler market, you’ll rarely see restaurant owners here. But Takuya and his family take exceptional pride in being able to select and server the freshest and highest quality fish available to their customers so you’ll find them at the market every morning. The family even participates in the Fish Market Tuna Auction. It’s also, where Takuya’s grandfather made a name for himself as the Number 1 Maguro Fisherman in the industry during his time. It’s an uncommon practice to eat the tuna’s more unconventional parts like the throat and jaw, but here in the Misaki area, it’s a local specialty often eaten in the home, as it’s a the technique that was developed by their local fishermen. Apparently during long voyages at sea, the Japanese Tuna fishermen would enjoy the lesser-known parts that usually don’t make it to the market and would cook it with an international culinary approach with spices gathered from their trips around the world, resulting in their own unique tuna fusion style cuisine.

Cool , but there one reflexion to have toward this. Japanese are fishing Tuna which didn't reach there adult size , this is a issue and soon or later tuna will desappear from sea and ocean. Sure japanese are not the only one, but we know the love of the japanese for tuna. It may become a issue in few years.
I couldn’t imagine the smell
This one was extra great, the family seems awesome and I love how they try to make each other better but are still a seemingly loving family at the end of the day. The childhood friend perfected the image. Super wholesome.
We’re all on the same warching Jujutsu Kaisen 💔. The daughter is working hard, she’ll get the perfect salmon soon!
Fantastic episode! That place looks like it would be fun to visit. Thanks Paolo!
17:00 Holy Tuna that looks delicious!! Man I wish I could be in Japan having that today, I need it lol
The change in the thumbnail was great.
I saw this video on my feed yesterday and looking at the thumbnail, it didn't look appealing.
But saw this again with a different thumbnail and I clicked on it as I was curious.
Japanese people never sleep properly, that's why they look depressed and suicide rate is high😢
brilliant episode
Why are Japanese people so fascinating. Love it
bruh those carvings were dope as fucckkkkk
Great video. Very interesting to watch the entire tuna being prepared and consumed. No waste. Lots of tasty looking food being prepared. I hope the ocean's bounty doesn't get exhausted through all the fishing.
What a wholesome family
Another amazing video, Me and my wife are planning to go to Japan a second time in 2025,this time we are bringing our small daughter with us! I'm definitely going to be making itinerary based on your videos 😍
-40C = -40F Not -76F
GIVE HER THE FISH SHE WANTED WHY ARE THEY SO MEANNNN
SPOILER FOR JJK SMH
Spoiler alert! Dont tell her Satoru dies🥺🥺🥺
New video idea: A Day in the life of a Japanese fitness trainer.
That tuna head was placed on the floor and then transported on the back of the truck. Would have expected better food handling in Japan.
For the daughter, I imagine she's bidding against other senior buyers who are selling the same tuna for much higher prices in Tokyo at more expensive restaurants. She has a budget and has to stick to it for their small restaurant to be profitable. Thus, buying tuna is not easy. On an unrelated note, she's really good looking and sweet. Someone is going to come along and marry her soon!
How is Japan fish and sea situation? Since the sea is contaminated?
This girl is passionate!! And her work ethic is insane. The success of her family shop is definitely guaranteed with the amount of hard work put in
Another amazing video Paolo. It would be great if you can do a revisit and see how well the daughter has gotten on bidding for tuna and how the rest of the family and Resturant are doing. Keep up the great work
Great episode!
