This is a day in the life of a Japanese waitress.

這是一個日本女服務員的一天。

Living in the heart of Tokyo and she's just waking up for work I guess she's still a little sleepy.

住在東京市中心，她剛起床上班，我猜她還有點困。

She lives on her own in this one K apartment meaning one room and kitchen.

她自己住在這個一K公寓裡，意味著一個房間和廚房。

Not surprising in the middle of the city.

在城市的中心，這並不令人驚訝。

She's originally from Fukuoka but because of her love for anime, she would visit Tokyo at least once a month to attend anime events.

她最初來自福岡，但由於她對動漫的熱愛，她每月至少會到東京參加一次動漫活動。

So it was only natural for her to move here after graduating university.

是以，她在大學畢業後搬到這裡是很自然的。

You have so many remote so what do you want?

你有這麼多的遙控器，那麼你想要什麼呢？

I guess she's gonna watch some anime while she gets ready.

我猜她會在準備時看一些卡通片。

是以，Yuki認為自己是一部動漫。

Otaku meeting someone who's deeply obsessed in something once having a negative connotation of people so obsessed in their hobby that they were thought of as poorly dressed and stayed home all day.

御宅族是指對某一事物深深著迷的人，曾經有一個負面的含義，即人們對自己的愛好如此著迷，以至於被認為是衣冠不整，整天呆在家裡。

But now there are fitness, Otaku and even fashion Otaku in Japan.

但現在日本有健身、大宅男，甚至是時尚大宅男。

In fact, today, 45% of Japanese consider themselves Otaku.

事實上，今天，45%的日本人認為自己是御宅族。

So Yuki commutes to work by train along with the majority of Tokyo residents.

是以，Yuki和大多數東京居民一樣乘坐火車上下班。

Her commute, fortunately is only about 15-20 minutes with no transfer as she was able to choose her apartment after getting her job.

她的通勤時間，幸運的是隻有大約15-20分鐘，無需轉車，因為她在得到工作後能夠選擇自己的公寓。

我又回來了，又是一天的生活。

The train should be coming soon and Yuki should be on it.

火車應該很快就會來了，Yuki應該在上面。

So her workplace is just a four minute walk from the Shinjuku station West exit, interestingly, Shinjuku station itself is the world's busiest railway station with over 3.6 million people passing through daily, which helps explain their constant flow of customers.

是以，她的工作場所距離新宿站西口只有四分鐘的步行路程。有趣的是，新宿站本身是世界上最繁忙的火車站，每天有超過360萬人通過，這有助於解釋他們源源不斷的顧客。

Yuki is a waitress at Pandora, a Teppanyaki restaurant, japanese style flat grill, which has been a local favorite since 1972 serving Kobe beef steaks and teppanyaki course meals.

Yuki是潘多拉的服務員，這是一家鐵板燒餐廳，日本風格的平面燒烤，自1972年以來一直是當地人的最愛，提供神戶牛肉牛排和鐵板燒課程餐。

So one of her first test in the morning is to check the restaurants, emails to ensure that all of the reservation requests she received overnight are registered in the system.

是以，她早上的第一個測試是檢查餐廳、電子郵件，以確保她一夜之間收到的所有預訂請求都在系統中登記。

After that she works in the shop social media.

之後，她在商店的社交媒體工作。

Taking customer reservations is also one of her daily responsibilities.

接受客戶預訂也是她的日常職責之一。

Now she moves on to our next morning task cleaning, starting with the restrooms in japan.

現在她轉到我們下一個早晨的清潔任務，從日本的廁所開始。

It's comments not to use cleaning companies for restaurants and businesses in general.

一般來說，不使用餐館和企業的清潔公司是有意見的。

It's very much ingrained in japanese culture taught as early as elementary school, Japanese students learn to respect their surroundings by taking responsibility for different areas in the school each day, including the toilets.

這在日本文化中是非常根深蒂固的，早在小學時就被教授，日本學生通過每天負責學校的不同區域，包括廁所，來學習尊重他們周圍的環境。

The customary wet towel offered before the meal.

It's not only used for customers to wipe their hands but also it's a sign of welcome bodies are regularly offered warm in the winter and chilled in the summer to create an even more welcoming environment.

它不僅用於顧客擦手，而且也是一種歡迎的標誌，在冬天定期提供溫水，在夏天提供冰水，以創造一個更受歡迎的環境。

Oh, I guess the restaurant received a delivery from the beverage vendor.

哦，我猜餐廳收到了飲料商的快遞。

It's not necessarily her job to stock the items, but it's common in Japan for any of the workers to pick up small tasks like this when they see it's available.

儲存物品不一定是她的工作，但在日本，任何一個工人看到有這樣的小任務，都會去做，這很常見。

這都是關於作為一個團隊的工作。

So about half an hour before the restaurant opens, Yuki starts preparing the signs in Tokyo and other major cities in Japan where the restaurants are often hidden inside of buildings like pandora restaurants commonly advertise their menu with pictures on street level.

是以，在餐廳開業前約半小時，Yuki開始準備標誌，在東京和日本其他主要城市，餐廳往往隱藏在建築物內，如pandora餐廳通常在街道上用圖片宣傳他們的菜單。

So it looks like he's gonna be cleaning for just a little bit.

所以看起來他要打掃的地方只有一點點。

So let's do what we do and explore this place.

是以，讓我們做我們該做的，探索這個地方。

So that sign behind me is really important.

所以我身後的那個標誌真的很重要。

It actually tells you where the beef is coming from and it even has the serial number.

它實際上告訴你牛肉來自哪裡，它甚至有序列號。

Oh the chef is doing stash ingredient prep for the day and while she cleans the drain right away, got to appreciate that cleanliness and now she does for the garlic, which is a key and green and many Teppanyaki dishes.

哦，廚師正在做當天的儲藏原料準備工作，雖然她馬上清理了排水口，但得到了讚賞，現在她為大蒜，這是一個關鍵和綠色和許多鐵板燒菜餚。

So what's important when working as the manager?

那麼，作為經理人工作時，什麼是重要的？

They even have a private smoking area here.

他們在這裡甚至有一個私人吸菸區。

So I was actually looking at this tank behind me like oh I guess they don't have any fish.

所以我實際上是在看我身後的這個魚缸，就像哦，我猜他們沒有任何魚。

In fact just right here they have bobby, oh, blades of steel, that's a real deal 16th century samurai armor worn by one of the top generals made a sitting in the open.

事實上就在這裡，他們有波比，哦，鋼鐵之刃，那是一個真正的16世紀的武士盔甲，由一個頂級的將軍穿在身上，做成了一個坐在公開場合。

The restaurant actually has two separate restaurants, one on the second floor and the other on the fourth and the workers share the load between the two.

該餐廳實際上有兩個獨立的餐廳，一個在二樓，另一個在四樓，工人們在兩者之間分擔工作。

Today, Yuki is working mainly on the fourth floor.

The Kobe beef specialty Teppanyaki restaurant but will sometimes help on the second floor as needed.

神戶牛肉特色鐵板燒餐廳，但有時會根據需要在二樓幫忙。

A typical Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant, The chef cooks the food over a flat stainless steel grill right in front of customers.

一家典型的日本鐵板燒餐廳，廚師在顧客面前用扁平的不鏽鋼烤架烹製食物。

So it's Yuki job as a waitress to see the clients take orders, serve drinks and sides while also keeping the table clean.

是以，作為女服務員的Yuki的工作是為客戶點菜，提供飲料和配菜，同時也要保持桌子的清潔。

The food looks phenomenal sizzling on the tip on interestingly, it's often completely confused with hibachi, which in japan is simply a circular heating container designed to hold burning charcoal and teppanyaki itself in japan is not known to be a flashy dinner performance but a way to cook food such as steak.

有趣的是，食物在尖端上噝噝作響，看起來非常驚人，它經常與hibachi完全混淆，在日本，hibachi只是一個圓形的加熱容器，旨在放置燃燒的木炭，而鐵板燒本身在日本並不以華麗的晚餐表演著稱，而是一種烹飪食物的方式，如牛排。

Okonomiyaki and teppanyaki wow, it's before noon and the seats are already filled up.

雜樣煎菜餅和鐵板燒哇，還不到中午，座位就已經坐滿了。

Okay, so we are in the kitchen and you can see right here this is the miso soup and those are the ingredients that when you put the miso soup and it's all ready to go.

好的，所以我們在廚房裡，你可以看到這裡是味噌湯，這些是配料，當你把味噌湯和它都準備好了。

In fact, it's typical in a japanese restaurant for the rice and miso to be served at the same time as the main dish.

事實上，在日本餐廳中，米飯和味噌與主菜同時上桌是很典型的。

So it's her responsibility to keep a keen eye on each table to ensure that the food is served on time by the way.

是以，她有責任密切關注每張桌子的情況，以確保順便按時上菜。

Do you have any days off and what do you do when you're like, what do you go alone?

你有什麼休息日嗎？當你喜歡的時候，你會做什麼，你一個人去嗎？

Oh I guess this salaryman is here for a quick lunch in the city, especially in crowded business districts with many japanese salaryman.

哦，我想這個工薪族是來這裡吃快餐的，特別是在有許多日本工薪族的擁擠的商業區。

It's common for restaurants during lunch time to also prioritize a speedy and quick service, understanding that many office workers have short lunch breaks.

餐館在午餐時間通常也會優先考慮快捷的服務，因為了解到許多上班族的午休時間很短。

So the restaurant staff need to be extra diligent when preparing and serving food.

所以餐廳工作人員在準備和提供食物時需要格外勤奮。

So I think Yugi is gonna be a little bit busy serving all the customers.

所以我認為尤吉會有點忙於為所有顧客服務。

So let's go down to the second floor and see what's going on.

是以，讓我們下到二樓，看看發生了什麼事。

Oh the chefs making their lunchtime humbug.

哦，廚師們正在做他們的午餐時間的humbug。

一個美味的漢堡包的關鍵是什麼。

So Japanese humbug is quite a bit different compared to the Western Hamburger for one.

是以，日本的哈姆雷特與西方的漢堡包相比，有很大的不同。

The meat patty is served with a side of rice instead of between two buns.

肉餅是和一份米飯一起吃的，而不是夾在兩個包子中間。

Also, the patty itself is made to be juicier in ingredients like onion, Panko egg and flour are often used, creating a different flavor and texture profile.

另外，肉餅本身也被做成了多汁的成分，如洋蔥、Panko蛋和麵粉經常被使用，創造了不同的味道和質地特徵。
