Some of the Sushi chefs I see in youtube videos intimidate me, they seem so stoic, so traditional and refined to the point of being just a tad scary- but this fellow gives off such a friendly warmth! I would not be too intimidated or scared to eat at this chef's restaurant, he seems like such a kind person and yet also very professional.
Yeah, he's actually good for the hospitality industry. Like if he were a bartender, you'd definitely be more likely to be a regular in that bar. If he ran an izakaya, where he was cooking and talking to customers, he'd have a long line of regulars.
He has a great, fun vibe; but you can tell he takes his work seriously. Lightly dusting fresh grated wasabi off into that bowl of noodles and then seeing it made my mouth water. His dishes look simple, but there's an elegance to them. Just amazing.
Yoya is like one of the coolest dudes! His friendly and joking personality remind me a LOT of Miyavi. Like they could be cut from the same stone. I think they're both so cool.
He's more modern now the way he talked and the way he communicate he's relax and have humour too I liked the way he prepare all the fish for his sushi restaurant it's all delicious .
I stayed a week in Kyoto and then a week in Osaka. Let me tell you that regardless of how close together they are, they are waaaay different. He's entirely not lying. Lmao. Osaka is crazy by comparison.
He's awesome! Also I don't know why he spoke in Japanese so much because his English is actually very good albeit hard to understand without the subtitles just due to his accent. Cool dude for sure and his food looks delicious.
The Tsumoto method is a technique that is starting to become the standard in Japan, starting with TH-cam, and it greatly improves the taste of fresh fish. Immediately after the fish is brought ashore, the guts and blood, which are prone to decomposition and oxidation, must be removed as soon as possible. By completely draining the blood from the fish, the flavorful ingredients remain in the fish's muscles, which greatly improves the taste of the fish for sushi.
I still think he could make it as an actor. He has a great on camera presence. I say he could start as a gang leader for Yakuza in a John wick like film.
Japanese language is useful, and a relatively easy language to pick up the basics, I would suggest to learn the basics of Japanese to visit Japan during ur lifetime at least once, Japan is a beautiful, safe, clean, orderly and welcoming place for all visitors..
I love listening to him.
I love watching him preparing his unique dishes.
As he grows older, his personally and stories are forever memorable.

I think that's grated yuzu rind. Wasabi would look very wet and mushy by comparison.
His voice's so soothing for grandpas telling his gdandchild some legendary stories
He aged, but still as wholesome as ever
Just like good whiskey
“They say Kyoto is traditional ...
But look at me”
LMFAO 😂😂😂 you’re a effing star mate

I don't know why, but watching this video makes me happy
5:24 “kind of sad about eating your pet fish after it grows up”
5:26 **evil laugh**
Watch out Mr Whiskers, I've got my eyes on you.
[. .]
Bwaha-ha-ha-ha!
I sometimes feel the same about my extra cats😷

ThixWhix amazing
This was so hard to read

@@ThydaCookingTV ⁹0⁰⁰0⁰]p]😅
@@monkeythebin3756 why is that?
Ate here back in February on a weekend trip to LA. Great meal, friendly chef, and relaxed atmosphere.
I love his personality and smile! What a delight
😊
I remember him from Chef's Night out!!
He also tasted grocery store sushi on Buzzfeed. He's really humble and not stuck up.
that episode was so good!
Yoya San- one of the coolest ever! So much love and respect for this man.
He's the legend that rolled the epic sushi blunt
ABANG KAVI someone got it.. thank god

Dude is a LA legend! I found out about him a few year ago through munchies. His birthday vlog was the best
would love to try it grilled some time. hopefully next trip there.
He looks like a gangster turned Japanese chef.
Guess it’s opposite
6:49 just hearing the tattoo explanation, I’m guilty of “just getting a tattoo”😂😂💯
Is so nice to see someone love their job so much...
I love his energy
Hats off to camera man for An awesome camera angle that makes interesting to watch
津本式やってるんですね！最高！
魚の質も良いですね〜
This guy is just great! :D Has a great smile too! I hope he continues to do well doing sushi.
What a humble and nice guy! I’d be honored to taste his sushi!
He's more modern now the way he talked and the way he communicate he's relax and have humour too
I liked the way he prepare all the fish for his sushi restaurant it's all delicious .
Beautiful video! Well done again, Eater team!
The more you shake...the lucky you are.. that there made my day!
I stayed a week in Kyoto and then a week in Osaka. Let me tell you that regardless of how close together they are, they are waaaay different. He's entirely not lying. Lmao.
Osaka is crazy by comparison.
I remember this guy from sushi review video on the buzzfeed channel. Took me a while to recognise him though
Yeah he aged rapidly since then
I think he did a couple more for BF.
Cool guy, didn't just dismiss all grocery store sushi.
“Zero star...minutes zero star or something”
😂
"avocado pretty nice"
His voice is awesome
It’s 1am here and I’m hungry af watching this ,why u do dis
Man
He's awesome! Also I don't know why he spoke in Japanese so much because his English is actually very good albeit hard to understand without the subtitles just due to his accent. Cool dude for sure and his food looks delicious.
Mike O'Barr japanese culture bro they can speak Eng but respect their mother language, so we all have subtitle
I have to say I hate seafood it's made me sick in the past but seeing the love and dedication someone puts into it makes me want to try it anyway
Master of his craft. What an impressive spread.
Have been to Osaka and Kyoto, both are wonderful places for traveling
My favourite Sushi chef
I would love to go to that restaurant and chat and laugh with him!
Wow. He is wonderful.
He seems like very friendly and good person
the grilled amadai nyumen looks awsome
Feel like i have grown up with this guy after seeing multiple videos of him
Oooo! It's "that" guy! Who used to work that that restaurant. I absolutely loved that video
"the more you shake the more luck comes in"
Well that won't be hard if it's the right hand.
Fascinating man and video Thank you
津本式やってらっしゃるんですね、すばらしい。
魚の血生臭さを取りつつ魚本来の美味しさが引き立ちますね。
主人からの魚料理へのこだわりが見えますね。
貧乏でアメリカにはそうそう行けないけど主人のお店で食べてみたいな。

man that meaning behind the tatto on his hand tho
for real tho
Feel like i should get a similair tattoo since i shake that hand quite often.
@@HerstalP90 Since every shake is good luck then your dreams are about to come true!
Andy Daniel he means fapping
Holy cow, he sounds a lot older than when buzzfeed have him at their show
awesome 👏 everything is wonderful I love 💖 you channel and love 💖 your food too
He resembles Gorobei in Seven Samurai classic film haha.
A bit goofy too and good vibes.
Naisu vid!
I rmb him from his last vid...
"Shark hearts" haha
This guy is in 9/10 sushi videos I've seen
i love him 🥺
MORE
that is all
Just MORE of this guy
The first "Happy Sushi Maker" i saw.. 😊😀😄😃😆😂🤣
I wanna share a beer with this man.
Oh I remember him from the other video, where he tried those packed sushi🤣
I still think he could make it as an actor. He has a great on camera presence. I say he could start as a gang leader for Yakuza in a John wick like film.
Love this! ❤️
4:23 man, that story made me sad lol
glad he's thriving now!
Everytime I see sushi chefs introducing the fish, I'm always like do I need a phD in marine biology to become a sushi chef?😂
He Zhang
Probably.
I mean don't they also deal with poisonous fish and different recipes also so maybe you do need to know your fish first
He's Back!
I wish he was my grandpa so he can make me as many sushi as i want.
why am I watching this at 00:00 hour!?......Now I'm craving for sushi -_-
AMAZING
congratulations...excelent
6:58 anyone noticed that little laugh ?
7:18 and that smiley tattoo?!

오 ㅋㅋ 츠모토식 궁극의 치누키가 미국까지 건너갔네요
Buenísimo 👏
你从洛杉矶还是那里来纽约看👀我有心了，做寿司还要向你学习，如果有幸请多多指教。。
He's like an anime grandpa who's a sushi chef by day and a gangster by night
really like to try princess snapper tempura ...
Gracias
I should go to Japan and open up a Texas bbq joint .
Cool guy
THANK YOU CAPITAL ONE
Rare to see an older Japanese guy with so many tattoos! They're still really frowned upon by a lot of people over here
COOL !!!!!!
How Jedi Master Yoda trained his farm-boy style Jedi Knight.
Cola and beer joke got me xD
