This is Teru 44 years old in a suburb of Tokyo and he's just waking up for work

這是在東京郊區的44歲的輝，他剛起床上班。

He's not a morning person and as much as he wants to get the day started like his Japanese counterparts

他不是個愛晨練的人，雖然他很想和日本人一樣開始一天的生活。

he often finds himself back asleep on the couch with his cute dog, you make

他經常發現自己回到沙發上睡覺 與他可愛的狗，你讓

Oh, his wife is up. He also has two boys, but just like their dad. They enjoy their sleep, too

哦，他的妻子了。他也有兩個兒子，但就像他們的爸爸一樣。他們也很喜歡睡覺

His wife is making a koroke sandwich for breakfast, which is fairly uncommon for japanese, but it sure looks scrumptious

他的妻子在做早餐的時候做了一個Koroke三明治，這對日本人來說是相當罕見的，但它看起來確實很美味。

Do you often need a karaoke sandwich for breakfast?

你是否經常需要用卡拉OK三明治當早餐？

So it only takes him a few minutes in the bathroom to get ready in the morning and that sink shower surely helps

所以他早上只需要在浴室裡花幾分鐘就能準備好，那個水槽淋浴肯定能幫上忙。

Teddy drives about 10 to 15 minutes every day to get to work since public transportation in tokyo is so ubiquitous and reasonable

Teddy每天開車10-15分鐘左右去上班，因為東京的公共交通很普及，而且很合理。

Driving a car to work is quite rare. In fact only five percent of the people who live in Tokyo own a car

開車上班的情況相當少見。事實上，在東京居住的人中，只有5%的人擁有汽車。

So it's quite a nice luxury to own one

所以說，能擁有一臺是相當不錯的奢侈品。

His shop is located in Jutakugai

他的店位於Jutakugai。

Which means an area where people live once you step outside of the center city area

也就是說，一旦走出中心城區，就會成為人們生活的區域。

You can find chill areas like this with a friendly vibe

你可以找到這樣一個充滿友好氛圍的冷氣區。

So i'm back with another day in the life teru should be coming just around the corner. He drove to work today

所以我又回來了，生活中的另一天小鹿應該就快到了。他今天開車去上班了

Let's see what time he went to sleep last night

看看他昨晚幾點睡的？

Good morning. So what time did you sleep last night? And what are you going to do now?

早晨好你昨晚什麼時候睡的？那你現在要做什麼？

Teru runs a local butcher shop

輝在當地開了一家肉店

Which has been in his family for 73 years. It's named after his family

它已經在他的家族中存在了73年。這是以他家的名字命名的

Yanagi and ya is a japanese word that is commonly used at the end of store names

柳、雅是日語，常用於店名的末尾。

So he's a third generation butcher as his grandfather passed this shop down to his father and his father passed it down to him

所以他是第三代屠夫，因為他的祖父把這家店傳給了他的父親，他的父親又把店傳給了他。

The first thing he does is to prepare the showcase. He turns on the refrigerator and cleans the shelves

他做的第一件事就是準備展示櫃。他打開冰箱，清理貨架。

So, how long does it take you to clean in the morning

那麼，你早上打掃衛生需要多長時間呢？

Now he has to take out the garbage from the previous day

現在他要把前一天的垃圾拿出來了

In Tokyo businesses are required to pay for their trash in this case with coupon stickers in his ward 120 liter bag

在東京，企業需要支付他們的垃圾在這種情況下，在他的病房120升袋優惠券貼紙。

This size costs about 1.50 cents each time

這個尺寸每次的成本約為1.5毛錢。

Now it's time to prepare the meat

現在是準備肉的時候了

First he brings up the meat from the refrigerator room and stores it back in the showcase

首先，他把冰箱房裡的肉拿上來，放回展櫃裡。

while also taking a mental inventory the showcase has about 60 different kinds of meat which requires a lot of

Preparation so from here on out it's his responsibility to continually fill the empty spaces in the showcase

準備，所以從現在開始，他有責任不斷填補展示櫃中的空位。

So, what's your favorite meat

那麼，你最喜歡吃什麼肉呢？

Although he started officially working with his dad when he was 18

雖然他在18歲時就開始正式和爸爸一起工作。

He actually got his first start when he was still in elementary school at his uncle's butcher shop

其實他第一次出道是在他還在上小學的時候，在他舅舅的肉店裡

Closer to home than his dad's shop

比他爸爸的店更接近家鄉

He would stand on a crate behind the showcase and greet customers as well as wash dishes in the back

他會站在展櫃後面的板條箱上招呼客人，也會在後面洗碗。

He also learned a great deal on how to cut meat from his uncle a skill. He would continue to hone later down the road

他還從叔叔那裡學到了很多如何切肉的技能。在以後的日子裡，他還會繼續磨練的

Okay, so what's the difference between that last meet and this one

好吧，那上次見面和這次有什麼不同呢？

Right here

就在這裡

In Japan thinly sliced meat is commonly used in everyday home cooking more often than thick steak meat

在日本，與厚牛排相比，切成薄片的肉在日常烹飪中使用得更多。

It's part of a butcher's job to know how to slice the meats in various thicknesses so we can be served in japanese dishes

屠夫的工作之一就是要知道如何把肉切成各種厚度，以便在日本料理中食用

Such as Shabu-Shabu

如涮涮鍋

Shogayaki and Yakiniku

莊稼燒和烤肉肉

So, how is your meat different than say the neighborhood supermarkets?

那麼，你的肉和說附近超市的肉有什麼不同呢？

Which is famous for having a strict grading criteria for its meat as only thirty percent of the cows in Miyagi

宮城縣以嚴格的肉品分級標準而聞名，因為宮城縣只有30%的奶牛。

Prefecture are good enough to be certified with that premium A5 medal and all Japanese beef is considered Wagyu

縣都足以獲得那塊高級A5勳章的認證，而所有的日本牛肉都被認為是和牛。

but not all Wagyu is considered A5 and the specific sendai farm that produces Teru's A5 wagyu feeds its cows with an original blend of

但並不是所有的和牛都被認為是A5級的，生產輝夜A5級和牛的特定仙台農場給牛餵食的是獨創的混合飼料。

Three kinds of wheat in addition to steamed rice just as we humans eat

三種麥子除了蒸飯，就像我們人類吃的一樣

One of his morning tasks is to prepare shipments from an online supermarket in Japan called cook pad mart

他早上的工作之一是準備從日本一家名為cook pad mart的網上超市發貨。

It sells higher-end groceries from farms and local shops like teresa

它銷售來自農場和當地商店的高端雜貨，如teresa。

Now Teru goes out and makes personal meat deliveries to local businesses such as restaurants and even child daycare facilities

現在，小輝親自去給當地的餐館，甚至是託兒所等企業送肉。

In fact this cafe uses tattoos meat to make their in-house signature curry, where are you going now?

其實這家咖啡館用紋身肉來做他們自家的招牌咖喱，你現在要去哪裡？

Being the local butcher he works closely with the community and naturally develops many worthwhile relationships with its members

作為當地的屠夫，他與社區緊密合作，自然而然地與社區成員建立了許多有價值的關係。

That's the final stop a vietnamese restaurant

這是越南餐廳的最後一站。

The butcher shop is now open for business

肉店已經開始營業了

So the stores finally opened and when tedu was making deliveries his two staff already arrived

所以店面終於開張了，當tedu送貨的時候他的兩個員工已經到了

Even though the store is already open. They still have a lot of prep to do

雖然店面已經開張了。他們還有很多準備工作要做呢

Let's go check out what else they have to do to correct the story

我們去看看他們還有什麼要做的事情來糾正這個故事

What's that

那是什麼？

So Yanagiya doesn't only sell meat but also fried dishes like Kuroke cheese

所以，柳屋不只賣肉，還賣炒菜，比如黑家芝士

And Hamkatsu damn I'm getting hungry

還有濱松，該死的，我餓了。

Generally Japanese housewives pick them up when they don't have time to cook or want to add one more dish to the table

一般日本家庭主婦在沒有時間做飯或想在餐桌上多加一道菜的時候，就會拿起它們。

Oh and looks like the shop uses a water fryer

哦，看來這家店用的是水煎鍋。

Which keeps the oil fresh by separating the frying waste and preventing the oil from oxidizing

通過分離油炸廢料和防止油的氧化來保持油的新鮮度。

While one staff prepares the fried goods, the other staff takes care of the customers and of course Teru continues to cut meat

一個員工準備炒貨，另一個員工照顧顧客，當然輝繼續切肉。

so in a Japanese butcher shop

所以在日本的肉店

You'll notice there's a lot more raw meat products when compared to sausages hams marinated meats and skewers as this is what customers prefer

你會發現，與香腸火腿滷肉和串串相比，生肉製品更多，因為這是顧客喜歡的。

Oh, that's a cook pad mart shipping service he was preparing for earlier this morning

哦，那是他今早準備的廚墊超市運輸服務。

Teru what's that for?

小輝，你這是幹什麼？

As a butcher and owner it's part of his job to find and develop partnerships in order to create new products to attract customers

作為一名屠夫和老闆，他的工作之一就是尋找和發展合作伙伴關係，以創造新的產品來吸引客戶。

Wow, that looks delicious

哇，看起來很好吃

So he was looking into making an original bacon for his shop and through his meat producer

於是，他想為自己的店面做一個原生態的臘肉，並通過他的肉製品生產企業。

He was introduced to this sausage shop and although his family already has established fenders

據介紹，他是這家香腸店的老闆，雖然他家已經有了護舷

He says it's still his responsibility to develop evolve and adapt his business

他說，發展演變和調整業務還是他的責任。

So you've probably already noticed that all of us are wearing masks I actually wanted to ask Teru how it's affected his business

所以你可能已經注意到我們所有人都戴上了口罩，其實我想問問小輝，這對他的生意有什麼影響？

Let's go ask him now

我們現在就去問他

Teru, so how is the business doing this pandemic?

輝，那麼，這次的疫情，企業是怎麼做的呢？

How about now?

現在呢？

For everyone's safety, he limits the number of customers up to three at a time in order to maintain social distancing

為了大家的安全，他將每次的顧客人數限制在3人以內，以保持社會距離感

Ask customers to wear masks and they clean the store throughout the day

請顧客戴上口罩，他們全天打掃店面。

So it's just after one. It's quiet down a little bit. Let's go ask them some questions. So why did you decide to work here?

所以剛過一點。它的安靜下來一點點。讓我們去問他們一些問題。那你為什麼決定在這裡工作？

And how about you?

那你呢？

Nice I feel like everyone loves him in this area

不錯，我覺得在這一帶大家都喜歡他

Time for deliveries and look at the size of that pig

送貨時間到了，看看那頭豬的大小

Incredible never thought I'd see a guy carrying a pig on his shoulder on the streets of Tokyo

沒想到在東京的大街上，竟然會看到一個人扛著一頭豬走在街上

Oh and there's a poultry and the beef delivery, too

哦，還有一個家禽和牛肉的快遞，也是

Where are you going now?

你現在要去哪裡？

Finally lunch time. He usually takes a short lunch at a nearby cafe or simply goes for takeout today

終於到了午飯時間。他通常會在附近的咖啡館吃一頓簡短的午餐，或者今天干脆去吃外賣。

He's quickly eating at one of the shops. He delivered to earlier

他很快就在一家店裡吃飯了。他交付給早些時候

What's that?

那是什麼？

So before it gets busy around 4 pm when all the housewives come to shop for dinner

所以趁著下午4點左右，家庭主婦們都來買菜吃飯之前，先忙起來吧

He usually ships the bones from the pork meat

他通常會把豬肉的骨頭運過來

What part is that?

那是什麼部分？

Apparently, refrigerating the meat with the bone in and no vacuum pack helps evaporate moisture which then condenses the meat and creates a deeper

很明顯，把肉放在骨頭裡冷藏，而不進行真空包裝，有助於蒸發水分，然後使肉凝結，形成更深層的

Umami flavor at his shop

在他的店裡，有一種烏梅味

The pork is stored bone in but the beef is too big to store that way

豬肉是骨肉儲存，但牛肉太大了，不能這樣儲存。

So the vendor delivers the beef with bone stripped Umami rich and vacuum sealed

所以，賣家送來的是脫骨烏梅濃郁的真空密封牛肉

These little details make a huge difference in taste. So Teru works diligently to provide his customers with the best meat possible

這些小細節對味道的影響是巨大的。所以小輝兢兢業業的為顧客提供最好的肉食。

Oh, that's curry from the cafe, it smells amazing

哦，那是咖啡館的咖喱，聞起來很香啊

As part of his job. He also trains the staff how to prepare and package products for sale as well as how to cut the meat

作為他工作的一部分。他還培訓員工如何準備和包裝銷售的產品，以及如何切割肉類。

So it's three in the afternoon and he's still cutting me like I thought that maybe by the afternoon and towards the end of the day

所以現在是下午三點，他還在砍我，就像我想的那樣，也許到了下午，到了一天結束的時候

All of the stuff he cut he can just use but he's still cutting me. It's amazing

他切的東西他都可以隨便用，但他還是在切我。太神奇了

So as mentioned earlier the shop only serves A5 meat, which is the highest quality of meat you can get in

所以前面說過，該店只供應A5肉，這是你能買到的最高品質的肉了

Japan, based on their own grating system factory in qualities, like yield firmness texture and marbling nothing beats A5 Wagyu beef

日本，基於自己的研磨系統工廠，在品質上，如產量、質地和大理石紋沒有什麼比A5和牛更勝一籌。

So as I'm looking around I'm actually pretty curious as what's the most expensive meat in the shop. Let's go ask Teru

所以，當我看了一圈後，我其實很好奇，店裡最貴的肉是什麼？我們去問問小輝吧

It seems like the store is getting busy

店裡好像越來越忙了

And it's pretty clear that Teru loves everything about being a butcher including communicating with his customers

很明顯，小輝喜歡做屠夫的一切 包括與顧客的溝通交流

Oh a customer is buying the premium A5 beefsteak and included in the wrapping is a white square block in

哦，一位顧客購買的是高級A5牛扒，包裝中包含了一個白色的方塊，在。

Japan butchers commonly provide three blocks of b-fat to cook the steak with the Wagyu fat provided has a sweet flavor called "Wagyukou"

日本肉店普遍提供三塊乙脂來烹製牛排，提供的和牛脂肪有一種甜味，稱為 "和牛"。

And it adds a distinct scent and flavor to the dish

而且它還能給菜品增添獨特的香味和味道。

So two hours before the store closes Teru and his staff start cleaning the store

所以在商店關門前兩個小時，輝和他的員工開始打掃商店。

They wash every single knife chopping board sanitize a whole store also to thoroughly clean each machine

他們對每一把刀砧板都進行清洗消毒，整個店面也對每一臺機器進行徹底清洗

He takes it apart piece by piece every night. I wonder if every country is this meticulous about cleaning?

他每天晚上都會把它一塊一塊的拆開。不知道是不是每個國家都是這樣一絲不苟的打掃？

So Teru tells me that refrigerated meat usually expires within three to five days. But his shop almost never has any dead stock

所以小輝告訴我，冷藏肉一般三到五天就會過期。但他的店幾乎沒有死貨

Are you done for today?

你今天的工作完成了嗎？

So before going home he needs to make a couple deliveries

所以，在回家之前，他要送幾件東西回家

He drops off pork at a Tonkatsu restaurant and the pork bones. He cut out earlier at a ramen shop.

他在一家通心粉店放下豬肉和豬骨。他之前在一家拉麵店切出。

I guess little goes to waste at his shop

我想他的店沒什麼浪費的

Yay, finally home, it looks like they're having ski yucky for dinner. And of course using it

呀，終於回家了，看來他們晚餐要吃滑雪的雅克了。當然也是用它

Ah that looks incredible

啊，這看起來不可思議

So this is how Teru ends his night

小輝就這樣結束了他的夜晚

He spends time with his family having dinner

他花時間和家人一起吃飯

And then after that, he'll probably have a bath spend some more time with his family and then go to sleep by 12 o'clock

之後，他可能會洗個澡 多和家人待一會兒 然後在12點前睡覺。

That's pretty much a day in the life of a Japanese. Butcher
