It's Payday, So I Ordered Every Topping at Ichiran — Again | Japanese Salaryman Vlog

Payday. Four months ago, I ordered every topping at Ichiran and said eating out was becoming a luxury. Tonight, I did it again — at a different shop, with a slightly different menu. In four months, the menu changed. My salary didn't. Raises here usually come once a year, in April. Mine went up this April — just a little. In Japan, your salary isn't only about your work. Some companies pay a "family allowance" — extra pay if you're married or have kids. My company only has a commuting allowance. So my family allowance? ¥0. My payslip doesn't even need to ask when I'm getting married. It already knows. I'm not complaining. I just wonder… is a salary for your work? Or for your life? Everything on this table is for one person. Some nights, that's perfect. Some nights, it's a little quiet. On the way home, I stopped by 7-Eleven and picked up a taiyaki — a fish-shaped cake, filled with custard. I ate it right there, on a bench outside. One more little treat for payday night. Where you work, does being married or having kids change your pay? By how much? And… on payday, what's the one thing you let yourself have? How much is it where you live? Any currency is fine. My one thing is tonight. ¥3,250 ($20.48). Once a month. Tell me in the comments. I'd really like to know. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 🍜 About This Channel I'm Gen — a 37-year-old salaryman in Japan. Every month, I set a strict food budget of ¥30,000.
