Couldn’t one be a minimalist who replaces soy sauce and vinegar with a bottle of booze and a video game console?

He lives in a furnished apartment, so I suppose he does.

It doesn’t seem like he’s trying to say that he owns the absolute technical minimum a human can own. He’s just a humble dude that’s trying to own not that much.

I liked that he wasn’t presenting himself as some inhumanly-robotic purist.

He appears to be saying “itadakimasu,” although in the video I only hear him say “imasu.” I’m guessing it’s the same thing, although probably someone will come along to correct me.

In any case, “itadakimasu” is something pretty much every Japanese person says before they start eating, and it almost certainly has religious roots: The Meaning of Itadakimasu
