That’s so impressive
How do you even get good at this without risking an unreasonable amount of noodles?
I can literally see it in his expression:
-Can yall do that? Heh, thought so
And here I am not even able to bike one handed
Peter Parker could never.
*[Here’s an article](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/japan-soba-noodle-delivery-men) on these guys with video.
Seriously, how is this possible? Is his core strength so strong and balanced that he can just hold it up a long time? The tower of noodles is so tall 😟

Boy? Really?
He was fired shortly after this photograph was taken
They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seen such discipline.
Another thing is that these bowls are brought back to the restaurant. I actually got delivery while in Japan circa 2000 and the noodles were in ceramic bowls. Afterward we just left them in from of the house for pick-up later.
The new Death Stranding prequel looks dope.
Japan chad
He later invented giant jenga
Thassa delivery MAN
100% staged.
I don’t believe this is from 1935
That’s no delivery boy. That’s a delivery man.
Listen, Randy, if they see you carry this many today they’re going to expect you to carry that much everyday.
Imagine having roads nice enough to do this.
They still do this on motorcycles though not as many plates. They have a platform in the back suspended in such a way it stays level even as the bike swerved around to deliver soba, ramen, etc.

You mean a sexy delivery MAN
He’s just bringing my lunch, love me some soba noodles.
Look at stuff like this and wonder how we actually built the pyramids
This feels like a “men back in the day vs men now” kind of thing
What could go wrong
