Why anyone put their purse or wallet on the table.

sushi is number one healthy food on the world

The Mexican sushi chefs at my local sushi bar will be happy to know I learned all the traditional Japanese sushi eating rules.

How long you boiled the octopus

I tend to spill drinks and sometimes over do it. They hate when you vomit on their fish window thingy. I blacked out at our local sushery and took a swing at the fish barista, he was a handful.

1. Don’t talk too loud like a mainland Chinese. 2. Don’t be so rude like a mainland Chinese. 3. Don’t spit like a mainland Chinese. 4. Never bring any guests from mainland china. 5. Don’t disturb other customers like mainland Chinese. 6. Never allow any mainland Chinese into the restaurant.

Shame some people have the attitude of “I paid, I can do what I want”. How about some mutual respect? Follow the rules, have a beautiful meal, be well looked after by hospitable staff. Everyone wins.

I’m sorry, are these people “paying” to eat this sushi or is it free? If they are paying, they have the privilege of eating it any way they please.

What is the proper way to eat the sushi with hand and dip into soy sauce and add wasabi. Is it a light dip or is it an insult to chef to add soy sauce and wasabi.

Michelin sushi chef? He doesn't look anything like a stack of powdered sugar donuts..!?

Nice reminders on manners mostly. Hearing someone saying thank you is almost never heard these days. It seems many of the commentors seem to miss the point of fine dining and authentic Japanese sushi restaurants. It's a chance to reboot your mind, you take an hour to relax in a quiet enviroment, and dine on subtle tasting treats. I thought expensive French wine was a waste of money, until a friend ordered a $ 100.00 bottle of White Burgundy, this wine was an amazing experience like no other wine I had ever had. If you can have dinner at Daniel in NYC, it's one of New Yorks best restaurants. They will show you what fine dining is. It's not inexpensive but quality and value sometimes are costly.

And here we have 400 reasons why everyone hates American tourists.

Sushi is finger food.

This sushi place is being run like a dojo.

what it is with a lot of all this is this - this is what it is: most people are complete morons...

To all the pissy negative commenters here: I can’t imagine you’d ever find yourself in a place like this to begin with (if they even exist where you are) and likely couldn’t afford it if you did. Now you know the expectations so if this doesn’t work for you, just go somewhere else. Or stay home and eat whatever you want however you want. Nobody is dictating anything to you and this is part of the experience. What’s the big deal?

Am i allowed to weep at the table for sheer joy of the beauty and flavors? These can be an emotional experience.

The Number 1 TIP for Americans: do not tip. It's offensive.

Everytime i go to Japan, i get my fix on the prepared sushi in the grocery store. Relaxing to eat at the hotel where i can eat it at my leisure :)

I’m going to Japan in March. Can’t wait! I have put all of these tips in my mental toolbox.

I think Mr. Sushi Chef needs to chill out. The experience is to eat delicious prepared Sushi, not a prison controlled environment. Perhaps he missed his calling as a prison guard.

Offers chopsticks… says don’t use them.

Yeah, no offense but if I’m paying for the food, I’m gonna eat it however I want

Hilarious - NO SUSHI FOR YOU

Should I bring my own ketchup?

#1 Watch off - negative, buy quality table material. In nearly 5 decades of living I've never come across a table damaged by a watch band. #2 eat ASAP - the customer will eat when ready. This isn't their mommas house, the customer pays for service, not silly demands from the chef. #3 hands vs chopsticks - personal preference, should be left to the customer. #4 personal belongings all over table - agreed, space is limited in these places. #5 ask to take pictures of food and staff - of food should be fine as long as staff aren't in them, you dont need foods permission. Agree with asking to take pictures of staff. #6 loud conversations - totally agree

When your sushi chefs are 18 year old Mexican kids- who care😂?

Only time ive ever run into a restaurant that had rules like this was at an Omakase specialty diner. It was a fantastic experience.

Yeah, went to a sushi conveyor belt restaurant for the first time in Tokyo and I was guilty of taking pictures of my sushi without asking. Best California Roll I've ever had there.

Volunteering to remove your Rolex or Patek at the bar is a tall ask for a piece of protein and some white rice.

Have a feeling this video was made for the exact kind of people in the comments. If you bother to travel, you might want to bother learning other customs and traditions. Or just stay home, I'm sure they wouldn't want you there either.

I would have left when he told me to remove my watch

How is any of this too strict? And why are people offended at being asked to conduct themselves in a particular way? In this setting people are dining for the experience and culture as much as the food. The chef’s suggestion to eat quickly is so you get the most out of his efforts. Not disturbing your neighbors, not crowding the counter with personal items, removing things that could damage property that isn’t yours…none of this is too much to ask.

Thank you. Why is it a home, a people that have other customs. I always try to become educated before I go in. It is important to be a good guest and be respectful of your host to me.

hold the wasabi. it burns my tounge

Great video. Was wondering if you should take a watch off where do you put it then? In your pocket or on the table is allowed? I'm confused because one of the steps tells no to put your belonging on the table but in the video a guy puts his watch on the table

civility is key

I prefer eating sushi in america where I have the freedom to eat how I want

Strange fact: I visited a sushi restaurant before I got married (she was Indian, which is apparently Asian), and I was using chopsticks but she didn't know how. I took a bit of amusement from that situation.

Many comments are from people who feel indignant about abiding by a sushi restaurant’s expectations. My reply to them would be, they are experiencing an immersion in a culture when dining at a sushi restaurant, not simply “paying for a meal.”

Rule #1: Customers give money in exchange for goods and services. Rule #2: Businesses are successful then they mind their own business, not imposing on customers nor divulging their own details. Dont get carried away in telling customers how to eat, unless you are also willing to tell customers where you keep the money, how much, etc.

For those complaining about the strictness of the rules, I ask if you also get irritated when you're told not to touch a $10 million painting at the museum? Because art has rules. And those rules are generally intended to protect the art, the artist, and the experience of others who are also enjoying the art.

So...1) sit down, 2) shutup, 3) eat fast so you don't waste space. Got it.

lol , I did all of those things last time I went.

I would like to add - do not wear strong fragrances & perfumes into any restaurant, especially not a sushi restaurant.

Rules and regulations, that is why we spend big money to eat out. This chef has some serious personal issues. No thanks.

If you think about it, all the rules are actually very logical. Still pretty tough stuff. For a European, for example. Respect tho.🙏

LMAO on these pretentious rules

I learned to eat sushi with my fingers. Years later I saw people using chopsticks, but I never did and still don’t.

What kind of soy sauce or special sauce do you use on top of the fish?
