The way you filmed the Chef, and the way he worked on your meal and experience was so beautiful it was moving. It felt like he took you into a bubble for a few hours and took care of you with every bite. Beautiful. Thank you for the video!
OK, that last sushi place looked absolutely amazing. We've done some really high end fancy dining before (always an experience!) and definitely need to do that next time we're in Japan. What a food journey!
Great video, and I love seeing these differences that I’ve also experienced. I had an amazingly creative Omakase sushi experience next to the Hiroshima train station once… One not commonly known thing that I learned from a sushi chef once and you might try is I learned that it’s considered the best technique for eating nigiri sushi to actually turn the sushi over with your chopsticks as you put it in your mouth… that way, the fish not the rice ends up directly on your tongue and as you eat it, more of the flavor is directly being experienced. For high end sushi especially, I’ve really noticed the difference in experience since I learned this.
I watched this on TV and then went on to my computer to like and comment. Thank you for challenging your own comfort level by trying this new experience. It was fun to watch. There are ramen and sushi and tempura places and all of them are amazing; however, there are these other places where you get served by a master who has committed their lifetime to that craft and these are mind-blowing. Japan is full of these types of experiences if you look for them. Anyway - just wanted to comment that I was happy to see you guys experience this! Hope you consider trying this type of thing again with other areas!
The Kura sushi is pale and sweating from being served too cold, while the mid-high end sushi is dark and evenly shiny. The best sushi is not always served fresh, it is like steak where it benefits from aging to develop amino acids and remove excess moisture. Several of the fish blocks the omakase chef used were darker on the outside from dry aging. They really are very different products.
Loved this one, guys! Read your newsletter this morning, which I always enjoy, and think you hit the sweet spot on this one as far as something that's a "good" idea for TH-cam but also something you're clearly genuinely interested in experiencing and document authentically! 😀We feel you a bit on that tension (case in point, our last video which was ridiculously dumb...but also a lot of fun!) 😂Happy new year from India where we're eating our weight in probably our favorite cuisine in the world, but now questioning if we were totally aware of how good we had it a few months ago while in the land of sushi. 🙃
thank you so much :) we struggle with it all time, glad to hear it's not just us also, your last video is frickin' amazing, i was laughing the whole time
We lived in Tokyo for 8 years. Thx for your video, my wife and I want to go back! For me the best was the “stand up” places. Usually a counter, or semi circular counter, where you stand in front of a chef who take rounds of orders. No chairs. You just wait for your turn as the chef goes slowly clockwise, asking each customer their order (2 x 2 pieces of nigiri each time, no less, no more…). By the time you finish eating your 4 pieces and a just enough for 2-3 sips of a cold beer, it’s your turn again. You order 3-4 rounds and you pay on your way out. Faster than McDs for fresh awesome quality food. Oh, and of course cheaper, 175 yen per round plus beer… Enjoy and continue with those great videos. Great humour, nice shots, always instructive!
You two are killing me! It's 9pm on a cold winter's night here in middle Tennessee and you have me *heavily* longing for sushi! Here's the crazy thing: I had a late lunch today and it was, you guessed it...sushi! But it wasn't like that $$$ sushi experience the two of you have me drooling over!! Love this vid!! 🙂
I’ve been to Japan about 6 times from my first visit in 2017. One thing I have avoided has been fine dining sushi. Many reasons, but the biggest is a fear of not liking something and gagging and making a fool of myself. I’m not the biggest fan of seafood and generally avoid it like the plague back here in Hawaii where we have some of the freshest seafood. But for whatever reason I’m very adventurous when I’m in Japan willing to try many things including Basashi (horse sashimi) but still can’t justify paying so much for something that I may just not like. After watching this video though I’m going to take a chance on my next visit in April. From my experience with conveyor belt sushi in Japan, I know I do find seafood in Japan generally better. So for my wife’s sake who has been so nice in being ok with not having a great Japanese sushi experience in all of our trips I will do it next time. Wish me luck and my wife thanks you for making this video. 😂
we completely get that fear!! we definitely aren't always adventurous eaters, but we always wonder why other people love the food so much, which makes us willing to try at least once! we did have basashi out of a vending machine! it was definitely different, much more affordable than a restaurant. not sure if we'd try it again, but now we know :) hope you guys have a great time, good luck!! you got this!
I didn't know you were still in Japan !!? Happy New Year ! 🥂You didn't go to real authentic high end sushi restaurants, though ! Daikanyama ,Ginza ,etc have those places ,not Roppongi,or Shinjuku !! Lol. It's a great time to visit Japan & experience real sushi there as yen is all time low sadly ! An authentic sushi platter usually cost ¥3,000/ person at least . That's really about $30-$35 ,but now so much cheaper !! If you go to a high end sushi restaurant, it costs $50/person at very least !! And you'll be blown away !!! Lol I am a vegetarian, so I am not really promoting it ! But, if anyone really love sushi ,then now it's the time for them to fly to Japan & experience it ! Over all a good / fun video ! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
How far out did you have to make reservations for Sushi Tokyo Ten?? Husband and I will be celebrating a major anniversary during our visit, and I think this would be a great way to celebrate.
For a special occasion, you could often get input and recommendations from a hotel concierge - even months in advance. They are often very nice, they're open to talk about different price options, and they can even help you secure the reservation on your behalf! Because of the language barrier, this has been helpful to me for some memorable experiences. Hotel concierges are an underrated godsend in Japan - they even helped us find pharmacies when we were under the weather (and they gave us a hand written note for the pharmacist to help us find the right medication!).
we made our reservations the day before and they had 1 spot available for us! definitely better if you do it a bit more ahead then we did. we found tabelog to be a good spot to find reservations, but hotel concierge is WAY easier than trying to figure that site out, but we never stay places that have a concierge so we had to DIY :) tabelog.com/en/
I am making a wild probably nonsensical assumption that the cheapest sushi are from places with the cheapest rental i suppose , the food probably the same but the rental are a whole different ball game , i stand to be corrected
that's an interesting thought, would make sense to me! also wonder if the cheaper restaurants can afford to be cheaper because they have automated ways to make the sushi vs chefs for every piece of sushi made
I hate this video so much right now. You guys are killing me. I really want sushi…but I’m currently in rural Nicaragua. So, no 1$ or 100$ options. Hahaha. Another great video, thanks for sharing.
when you go "Omakase", tell chef ingredients you dont like (ex. sea urchin, shellfish, blue fish etc) first. Also, you can use your fingers to eat Sushi that's not bad manners at all.
The last restaurant was a bespoke experience...that's why it's worth it. More than once a year Josh, be a devil do it twice! Meanwhile Sydney is behind me and Hilo is where I'm at, at lunch time, looking for sushi. I have to change my shirt first having noticed I've drooled whilst watching you guys eat. 🤤

Thank you for the video!
Yes! That’s exactly how it felt! We were just entranced the whole time, and I’m so happy to hear that we managed to convey that with our film :)
What a beautiful video. Loved it
You definitely should do more cheap vs expensive videos. That’s what we love.
OK, that last sushi place looked absolutely amazing. We've done some really high end fancy dining before (always an experience!) and definitely need to do that next time we're in Japan. What a food journey!
It was!!!
This might be our fav vlog from you guys!!! Love the narration and wow- it all looked so delicious!
Wow, thank you! it was so so good
Definitely one of my favorite videos from you guys. Glad you did this

This was so fun to watch and experience with you! Thanks for taking us along❤

Looked so good! So excited to go to Japan for the first time in a few months! Great video!
Hope you enjoy it!
Priceless experience. He gave you guys a food tour and you never had to get up.
This was really fun to watch! Would be interesting to see you do the same with meat. Like with beef.
Im going to japan next month and plan to go to sushi tokyo ten, what a coincidence that i find this video where you eat there!
This is such a fun video idea!! Now we are craving sushi hahaha!

So sad to find out Hinazushi Roppongiten is permanently closed. Will try their other locations!

They’re currently in Mexico :)
@@Cyn205 Right ! Yes,I saw the video ,I believe . Thanks so much for your reply !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
So awesome :)
Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for watching!
I can see you get blown away. I hope the chef witnessed it too. That would be the very reason why he is a sushi chef.
Great video, now I’m hungry for sushi 🍱
time to book that flight to tokyo! :)
or maybe sail there? can you sail there???
@@LisaAndJosh engine problems so no boating at the moment.
Even the 114$ sushi is considered cheap here in California SF bay area. An average good sushi lunch is at least 30 bucks a person
good to know!!
love the video. Keep em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
enjoyed watching the vid ^^
What a great experience!
There is a sushi belt place here in California called Kura sushi. We had 15 plates and the bill is 85 bucks. Fish was thin and quality not good
we saw that Kura had made it to the Bay Area recently too!
Closing 15min, make us a large set
"Sushé" - 😂

OMG! I am so hungry right now!
