"I have to balance my ego and my customer's satisfaction." Read this again. Brilliant way to think.
Finally, a chef said that.
Many chefs before him always thought and showed it through their actions. The difference is they never had to say it.
@@cwg73160It makes him even more spectacular of a chef then, since he's the one to put it in words finally.
@@Otto45 I’m 100% positive you don’t understand a lot of things.
@@cwg73160 ok but why do you gotta be 100% salty?
Probably one of the humblest chef-owner and kitchen staff from a michelin-starred restaurant I've ever seen. No ego, just pure passion for great food.
you have no idea. this is all ego
He has ego, but not in the way it's normally said, this guy has a love for food and the process, gives respect to the food and the people he works with. An absolute master of his craft.
I love Japanese diligence. The head chef cleans the floor by hand...
Fr you can see that a lot goes behind the scenes of those amazing looking dishes a lot of thought and efforts for that perfect resulting dishes..
i dont think people appreciate how technically difficult this style of cuisine is and the immense culinary training producing this caliber of food
And they paid a costly price at that. Time and time again...

Its just French cooking.
they just put French MSG.
I do. I just don't appreciate the portion
Tried it and tacos in tijuana are better
This guy is a genius.. mixing two style of dishes alone is no joke
To give everyone an idea of his background he was Joel Robuchins right hand chef for 15 years so he literally learned from a goat of French cooking and it shows. This type of cooking is extremely labor intensive and absolutely amazing when pulled off correctly
thanks for the bkgd info, helpful
Hi, in which restaurant?
joel robuchon trained Gordon ramsay
Thats not him.. he trained under guy savoy
You’re talking about chef yosuke suga
I remember that he will open a new restaurant in Omakase series. He actually did it. Kudos to him and greatest fortune to pursue Japanese-French cuisine mix with tasting menu as well.
not sure if hes a greater chef or boss...what a top tier human. who wouldnt love to eat or work there. great content
Very fine high cuisine 🧑🍳 woooooow 😊 looks delicious 😋
chef = boss
@@ronni9443 That's completely wrong.
@@timwin7155 It's certainly not 'completely wrong'. Of course it's not a direct translation, but in spoken French often one would refer to the boss or owner of any place as 'chef'. Like a taxi driver after a ride - "Merci Chef!" 🙂
its not . @@timwin7155
As a French person I can tell you that this is the perfect representation of our cuisine with a Japanese twist. Simple yet sophisticate dishes, such as the bouillabaisse.
but not as a french chef, so u cant tell us anything
@@knlei1man, shut the hell up
@@knlei1not how that works at all but ok
Lol! You don't have the authority to tell that. Such a weird and self-aggrandizing thing to say.
En France je ne me rappelle pas d'un restaurant qui utilise du foin acheté sur Amazon sans norme CE ni vérifications concernant son stockage/ sa composition pour cuisiner des plats de restaurant étoilé au michelin, mais chacun sa vision des standards et de la gastronomie Française hein.
10:00 "Don't get nervous, buddy"
literally, nine seconds later
"a million people will watch this" LOL
i like how clean and tidy they keep the place. Kitchen is a very stressful environment but you dont get that feeling anywhere in this establishment. Ofc everyone is busy, but there is no shouting orders. It takes great skills to manage a team and task everything so smoothly
In the past 2 years I started checking out "fine dining" restaurants in my area and most of them had the kitchen visible or party visible and none of it looked particularly stressed and for sure I have never heard anybody shout. It was always more or less like shown in this video. So at least from my little experience that kitchen = super stressed and cruel place, is kind of a media thing.
@@brunospastathese restaurants operate very differently during service. Also it’s very easy for these restaurants to replace any chef that can’t operate on this level.
But don’t be fooled, the people you saw probably work 60-80 hours a week on their feet with 20-30 minutes break during a whole day. The entire fine dining industry sadly is run by insane workaholics, alcohol and cocain.
@@brunospastano, shouty kitchens is a very very real thing, these precise and disciplined operations are exceptions in their craft, hopefully things are moving towards the more calm and cool environment during service
Nevertheless the fine dining industry has been having a meltdown in terms of intense working conditions for staff
@@brunospastaspeaking from experience it’s more so the type of restaurant and the times we are in. There was certainly no exaggeration and some kitchens are still a scary place.
I love the passion they put in their food and how they identify themselves through their usage of food. Hopefully they get that 3 mic stars someday!
That's going way beyond passion.
Japanese people dedication to their craft is godly level. Truly inspiring to witness 🙌
this is so awesome, as a french, to see how much this guy loves our culinary art
mad respect to the chef and his crew
"The tideous work is our strength", much respect for chef Yuu!
I'm French, what he says about dishes from 20 years ago is true, I haven't seen pigeon, or frog for that matter, served since the 90's. It's really impressive how he and his team manage to be faithful to the classical cuisine all the while innovating and incorporating other culinary traditions, truly exceptional skills, bravo ! A side note for Eater, he did not say "cool bouillon" but "court bouillon" which is a bouillon/broth you can make quickly (court means short) using herbs and veggies.
"..everything is made with the thought process of Japanese cooking, you don't waste anything and are respectful of all the ingredients.." This is what I love about Japanese culture, the attention to detail and respect.
The harmony of the world's best culinary cultures elevates the quality of the dish to the next level.
Absolutely loved to see this French and Japanese fusion🔥
these people are so humble, nice and masters at work, its inspirational
that pie looks insane, looking at it when cut down the middle, I can already imagine how good it would taste
“Want to go out for French or Japanese”?
“Yes”
This was so inspiring!
Great to see a fellow Swede in the mix of skilled chefs 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
made me wet the bed
Görrgött
Ew
He used to work for quite a while at the 2 Michelin Stars restaurant Aquavit in NYC with Chef Emma. What a loss. 😟
It's great to see! More of them nordics plz
Beautiful,love the classic beauty of the french techniques with Japanese ingredients.
I found out about this restaurant through the Omakase series 4 years ago, and it's really cool to see them being interviewed again but this time as a Michelin starred restaurant. Nothing but respect for Chef Shimano & team
Still the same team members as 4 years ago?
Adding it to my bucket list. I cannot get over all those amazing food
Passionate yet meticulously curated. True Artwork
I have so much respect for this man and how he thinks about every aspect of the food and his staff!
I really enjoy my visits to restaurant Yuu, you just know they operate with a different air. The passion they put into their work and all.
Damn props , these chefs lives at work... no time dor anything else, this guys iron chef worthy, sakai would be proud
Dedication and professionalism at its best 😊
Greetings from San Diego California
Honestly, this looks just amazing.
Top-end French restaurants also use many Japanese ingredients lately. Japan+French cuisine dominates the scene. Explains why Tokyo and Paris are the top 2 cities with the most michelin stars.
Respect man. This chef is just a legend in the making. Keep pushing chef!
Omg! The citrus suppliers were featured on Eater two years ago for growing authentic yuzu!
“The tedious work is our strength” that just wraps up Japan and the way they approach almost everything in a nutshell . If something is made in Japan it going to well made and it’s always because of the attention to detail that they have
I was in awe throughout the video. What a passion.
Wow! I’m blown away by the technique and creativity displayed here! I can’t imagine how amazing the food must be!
such precision and finesse always coming from Japanese chefs they truly are marvelous.
This is genuinely mesmerizing
I completely forgot what I was doing once this video started. I just sat down and watched the entire thing. Awestruck. Hypnotized. I've melted my vision to the screen
I haven't been this drawn to a food video, to a chef, to an entire experience since Anthony Bourdain
Amazing, amazing, amazing work all around. Cheers
The Japanese sure know how to make French food! French style restaurants are all over the place there, more than the US.
French, Italian, anything really 😂
french cuisine are actually quite deeply intergrated with japanese cuisine in many ways , you can see shadows of french in many of their food really
Japan and France have a very close relationship with each other.
Fabulous, he has great energy, humble whilst also aware of his talent and ambition. A proud man for sure.
artist, artist, artist, artist. This episode displays a masterpiece, which is Restaurant Yuu.
Chef Yuu makes me proud. Mad respect to the whole team
I swear I saw this restaurant in a later season episode of Billions. Looks amazing 🤩
"20 years later, the classic is very new"
Thats so true actually. Chef Yuu should be friends with chef Ron Mckinlay from Canoe in Toronto
guy is obsessed with classic old school
They are lovers
Yes
Truly interesting spin on classic concepts...kudos and ty!
Incredible looking food and general approach 👏
Hiroyuki Sakai would be proud of this chef's attention to detail while integrating japanese techniques with French dishes.
Amazon deserves a Michelin star for his help
This is probably the most interesting Japanese cuisine I've ever seen!
technically French cuisine, with a Japanese twist.
Favorite mise en place episode along with the one on the Taiwanese & Chinese restaurant in a strip mall.
probably the calmest and most peaceful kitchen in the world too unlike most Michelin stared places 😂
one of the most unique tasting menus I've seen on this channel looks great
Humility above all, is the best quality any master of his craft can have.
This was very interesting. I'd love to try this chef and his coworkers dishes some time.
That is one hell of a good-looking kitchen. Just...WOW.
So fascinating to watch people in their element.
I just want to be honest that I have no idea how hard to make such a perfect and fine dinner like this.
Respect!
Thank you for reveal a day work of a Resturant Yuu for us, for me.
I feel like this restaurant was a huge inspiration for Food Wars. Shinomiya the Japanese chef who opens a Michelin star French restaurant. And the several dishes like a suppon turtle, the pie with a spinach wrap to keep the flavors in, lots of innovative French dishes with Japanese influences like the show
been waiting for someone to point out this one, man, i love that anime
didn't this restaurant just open this year lol
This was increible to watch! Just stunning!
The two best cuisine in the world united, magnifique !
He's so friendly with his Co chiefs buying them equipment and such.
Superior content - love it
I am definitely gonna check this place out for my birthday lol
Stunning!!!
now if only Yuu dyes his hair with a pink maroon color and wears glasses and calls himself Legume Magician. (Shokugeki no Soma reference)
Most Asian immigrants are not leftist nutjobs.
Needed something to calm me down, perfect!
Seeing this makes me want to train as a chef just so I can work here!
one of the most delicious sounding menus ive ever seen for my taste...its like he gets me, too bad im not rich enough haha
Among many other positive reactions from this video, it’s a bit interesting to see an eastern chef take French dishes and incorporate Japanese techniques since we usually see the opposite. He’s also a sterling example of why food has origins and a place that it’s from, but ultimately doesn’t belong to anybody and is constantly evolving and being shared.
Amazing and creative! Hope I’ll get to try someday!
1 word: Dedication!
8:59 Hey! It's that same dude that grows those Yuzu lemons in New Jersey! Good to see him
I am assuming this guy's classically trained in French cuisine considering all the classic French ingredients and cooking techniques he is using apart from the 🐢!😂
That pie must taste divine.
Sheesh. Might be one of best French restaurants in NYC?
The veal truly looks,like perfection
This is one of the best chef displays on the channel. Even at 18min long it was not enough as it felt you cut out too much information and did not or could not devote more time to capture the passion of all the chefs. If you don’t believe me, check the subtitles as it’s missing detail.
楽しそう。
確かに、スッポンのスープの味は北米でも受け入れられる味ですよね。藁を使うのも日本人らしい。
私は家庭料理でフランス料理と日本料理のアイデアを合わせて作るからこの動画は見ていて楽しい。
Oh man,Chef is knocking it out of the Park!!!I would love to work for him.
すべてはなんと美しくて素晴らしいのでしょう。
Beautiful!
love it great chef and team
Incredible chef making delicious edible work of arts!
dude is an absolute beast
Amazing looking food an sadly mussels an oysters don't agree with me so i have struggled so many times over the years....but food is probably one of the few things id be okay to die eating if it was good.
Thanks chef and his team for allowing us in your space
Visually stunning!
Nice work chefs
amazing chef
Such beautiful dishes. Would love to see him go head to head with chef Sakai.
I stand in awe and admiration. My immediate reflex is to look for airline tickets to NYC.
Incredible. Very rare to see such a classical cooking style in 2023
You must not get out often.
the foie gras dish is insane in the best possible way
I think i need to go to japan to learn how they do things, i never would of thought of all this in a million years
France is proud of you.
literally made a new ice cream from a new ingredient, and put into menu straight away 😂
Straw molds...
I call this dish
Peeking holy cow 😂
I pray he makes millions!! Very detailed and very well executed. Not my cup of tea but don't knock it until you've tried it.
You don't hear him mention anything about money. For Japanese people like him, a shokunin, the aim is not to make millions. He's more interested in Kaizen, perfecting his craft. I hope he gets those 3 Michelin stars he's aiming for.
I know him... he was the young trainee who ordered french food in Tampopo
Superb Culinary Artistry !! --__--
Love this
