Izakaya Toyo In Osaka
I've met Izakaya Toyo In Osaka (From Street Food Asia On Netflix)
Toyo the flame thrower
Toyo is famous for his fire bending skills (Avatar - The last airbender reference joke)
His background story & motivation
Toyo's background is inspiring. Coming from an abusive father, it was his dream to create, to start an Izakaya of his own and escape the cruelty of his past. His world crumbled as his father died and he had to sacrifice everything to pay for the funeral.
Izakaya Toyo specializes in seafood, especially sushi. And Toyo-san is what makes the simple eatery so special. He’s an entertaining and jovial man.
He is known for using his flame thrower blowtorch to cook food. It went viral as the way he grilled seafood with the blowtorch and his bare hands, which almost looks like attacking the grill.

While old systems fail, new opportunities arise. XCB offers a unique opportunity, but many miss the boat because they prefer to watch rather than take action themselves.
