I love this. Expand my people, expand. The Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Germans are every where with their food. And we need to be every where with ours. I'm really interested in their living experience in Japan too.

Don't stop until there's a soul food joint owned by negroes in every Asian ghetto.
Next step, going to Korea to take over their haircare industry

I was saying to myself Black people need at least ONE industry to totally take over from production to final product.

I believe the huge loss of WW2 humbled Japan. I’ve heard of many soldiers enjoying their time there. Now I’ve not heard positive things about China and some other Asian areas.

Can't watch the video, right now but I'm wondering do they add japanese flavors or tastes to their food. You know customize the food for the locals, like the way McDonald's and BK do when they enter foreign markets.

Good for them. Expand the business and let them know what real soul food is like. Always good to hear a black business thriving especially overseas

Here’s their website: Home

It’s on my list of restaurants to visit when I have the chance to visit Japan. There is also an American-style bakery owned by a black man in Tokyo that I also want to visit.

I remember seeing another video about this couple and their restaurant last year... then I watched this one... I really do like this couple and wish them the absolute best in all that they do... and if I find my way to Tokyo, I would definitely want to go to their restaurant just to support... it also seems like a nice place to hang from other videos I have seen on it...
