A few years ago, when I first moved to the city of Sendai,

幾年前，我剛搬到仙台市的時候。

基礎被動語態

through a friend I was invited to a party with lots of local business owners,

通過朋友邀請我參加了一個有很多當地企業主參加的聚會。

程度副詞

I was in my 20s at the time, and everyone there was at least 2 or 3 times my age.

當時我才20多歲，那裡的人至少是我年齡的2、3倍。

However, there was one guy who I struck up a conversation with who was in his early 30s,

不過，有一個人我和他搭上了話，他30歲出頭。

a really friendly, unassuming guy who had lived overseas for a short time,

一個真正友好的，樸實無華的傢伙，曾在海外生活過一段時間。

in a mysterious land known only as Canada.

在一個神祕的土地上，只有加拿大知道。

And when I asked him what it was that he did,

it turned out he was the president and owner

of one of the largest sushi businesses in all of north Japan.

His name was Satoshi Ueno, and today, after many years of talking about it,

他的名字叫上野聰，而今天，經過多年的談論。

we're finally gonna go and film inside one of his restaurants

我們終於要去拍他的一家餐廳了。

and see and hear what it's like to own a sushi business in Japan.

並看到和聽到在日本擁有壽司生意的感覺。

With 30 restaurants across Japan and 800 employees,

passed onto him by his father just 7 years ago.

I've come to hear his story today inside Ueno-san's flagship luxury restaurant, Sushimasa.

今天我就來聽聽他的故事，在上野先生的旗艦豪華餐廳 "棲霞 "內。

Together we'll witness every aspect to running the business,

from sourcing the finest seafood at an intense market auction,

Y'know what, hopefully by the end of this week

I'll know everything I need to to set up my own sushi restaurant in London.

我知道在倫敦開一家自己的壽司店所需要的一切。

While I have been lucky to dine at Ueno-san'srestaurants many times before,

雖然我曾多次有幸在上野先生的餐廳用餐。

I'll admit, I've never set foot in his most high-end restaurant Sushimasa,

我承認，我從來沒有踏足過他最高級，上等的餐廳棲霞。

which is inconspicuously hidden off a bustling street in downtown Sendai.

隱匿在仙台市中心繁華的街道上，不顯眼。

Ascending the grand staircase, I find Ueno-san patiently waiting for me at the entrance.

登上大樓梯，我發現上野先生在門口耐心地等著我。

- Oh, thank you very much. - Thank you so much for giving me the time today.

- 哦，非常感謝你。- 非常感謝你今天給我的時間。

We haven't seen each other in maybe... 3 years?

我們大概有... 3年沒見了吧？三年了？

- 肌肉。- 這是 - 這是一個有點... ...

它是如此，有點... 溫暖和充滿活力。

How many people can you have in the counter?

- And then you've got two rooms - private rooms - here. - Yes.

- 然後你有兩個房間 -- 私人房間 -- 在這裡。- 是的。

I feel like I've stumbled into an art gallery, let alone a restaurant.

我感覺就像跌進了一個藝術館，更不用說餐廳了。

and immaculate wooden finishings, with an interior that feels contemporary, yet steeped in tradition.

When it comes to the interior of a sushi restaurant,

what's the most important things to look for?

What's the most important thing when you're creating it?

Often at sushi restaurants, the counter is very big and there's a lot of glass.

通常在壽司店，櫃檯非常大，而且有很多玻璃。

Whereas here, the sushi is really beautifully presented and integrated within the counter on the top.

而在這裡，壽司的擺放真的很精美，整合在上面的櫃檯內。

There's so many different lights highlighting the fish, the chef...

有這麼多不同的燈光突出魚，廚師... ...

- 是啊，這也很重要。這也很重要。

Meanwhile, tucked away on the third floor are extra special hidden rooms

同時，藏在三樓的還有特別的隱蔽房間。

為希望私下用餐的客人提供服務。

What kind of customers use these kind of private rooms?

什麼樣的客戶會使用這種包廂？

What do you prefer out of the counter and the private room?

Good for a family, maybe good for a date?

But yeah, I think the counter, for me, is probably better.

但是是的，我覺得櫃檯，對我來說，可能更好。

上野先生，我們的旅行很愉快。

Thank you for the tour of the restaurant.

Shall we eat some sushi? Shall we dive in?

我們吃點壽司吧？我們要不要潛水？

Ahh, right. Where you get the fish from. Okay.

啊，對。你從哪裡得到的魚。好吧，我知道了

There's nothing quite as intense as coming into a Japanese fish market at 4a.m. in the morning.

沒有什麼比凌晨4點來到日本魚市更緊張的了。

When everything's kicking off and everyone's buying things and auctions are happening...

當一切都開始了，每個人都在買東西，拍賣會也開始了... ...

不過，這也是一種很好的起床方式。
