This is behind the counter in Japan at Eiraiken, a small machi-chuka, or Japanese style Chinese restaurant, tucked away in a quiet Yokohama neighborhood. This Japanese restaurant has been serving Japanese Chinese food since 1969 and is deeply rooted in local Japan food culture. Originally run by an elderly man with no successor, the shop was nearly destined to close. That is until Erika san, a customer and Japanese woman from the area, stepped forward out of pure love for his japanese cuisine. Despite resistance and doubt, she persisted until she earned the chance to begin her apprenticeship with him. This is what working in Japan often looks like including long working hours to serve their customers. In this Japan food documentary, you’ll see how she recreates signature dishes like gyoza and fried rice without measurements, staying up night after night until the taste matched the original. Japanese gyoza, unlike its roots in Chinese cuisine in Japan, is pan fried and served with rice, reflecting how Japan food is built around balance. This Japan food documentary explores machi chuka culture, Yokohama food history, and where to eat in Yokohama when searching for authentic Japanese Chinese restaurant experiences.
