I worked in a sushi bar with a chef who trained under Jiro Ono. His take on eating sushi was; "It's your sushi, eat it the way that makes you happy." I like this philosophy. I've been enjoying sushi for 35 years now and have owned and operated 2 sushi bars. The one thing I would recommend to my customers is to not use chopsticks unless you are really good at them, otherwise there's a chance the sushi I worked hard at and they're paying for will end up on the floor.
Let me ask you a question, the chef in the video says don't mix the wasabi in the soy sauce because the flavors should be separated, and usually the chef has already put wasabi in the roll. I am just getting into sushi and have been to some very good restaurants, and never have I seen a roll served with wasabi already in it. So if the wasabi is not already in the roll and you are not supposed to mix it in the soy sauce, what is the best most authentic way to put the wasabi on the roll? BTW, I am very much aware that this is a perfect example of a first world problem.
@@davidsheriff9274 Some sushi chefs do put wasabi in the rolls, but most don't. It really depends on the sushi bar. I personally add the wasabi to my soy sauce (although my wife says that I put soy sauce in my wasabi). As for tradition, putting a little wasabi on the fish and then dipping the fish, not the rice, into the soy sauce is considered proper.

Shake only when finished at Men's Bathroom 😂 That was hallarious coming from the chef, Glad to know he has a sence of humor and isn't a Sushi Nazi "No Sushi For You, "One Year"
Tried my first sushi this past New Year’s Eve. The chef is right. It’s almost impossible to explain what’s going on inside your mouth. Absolutely delicious.
@@haylobos8261 maybe low grade restaurants, high end sushi doesn't need to as there is enough natural MSG in the soy sauce and seaweed. Idk how the other ingredients can be considered "fake" lol
I don’t see anything wrong with the guy who is eating the sushi. The chef is the star of the show and the guy is just listening and giving quiet feedback. Seems reasonable to me
He is a master of his craft and has a restaurant with one table - so that he may cook for you. He asks that you enjoy the food a certain way. It would be an honour to have him cook for you
The customer was being very respectful of the sushi chef. He listened attentively to what was said, and did his best to follow the instructions. He did well. The Japanese are extremely respectful people and appreciate it in return.
He had a restaurant in NY City that still bears his name, although he is no longer there: Sushi Yasuda. One evening, my then girlfriend and I turned up at around 5:30pm, before the dinner rush. We sat at the counter and were served by Chef Yasuda. It was not only the best sushi I have ever eaten, it was the best food. Absolutely breathtaking
All you giving the guy eating a hard time... he was just respecting the position he was put in. He was very respectful to Yasuda, who seemed to like the gentleman’s company and set the tone for the interaction.The guy made a comment at the end about the sushi starting sweet, and Yasuda said “Sweet like you! Haha” so obviously he was happy with the experience too.
...and I thought he wanted a tryst when he said "sweet, like you." 😊 It was his 2nd reference after the joke about men shaking after urinating in the mens room . Silly me!💫
*wacks your fingers with a steel ruler, NO !! Just as your feet must be taught how to dance, your mouth must be taught how to entertain a piece of sushi.
Love the chef's humor!! High quality sushi AND entertainment! LOL Sometimes we have roll your own sushi night at my fam's. I cringe when I see everyone just mix different fish, throw in some ginger, make a THICK fake wasabi/soy mixture and slather it on like bbq sauce, etc. I try to get them to actually taste and enjoy the food, but they're just so "rude"!
Str8 up. Reading some of the comments I was expecting the dude to look openly uncomfortable and act extremely awkwardly. This is what you get when the typical American encounters someone who is soft spoken. It literally doesn't compute in their brains that you don't have to be super fucking loud ALL THE TIME. Dude was just quiet and attentive. Quietness doesn't = lack of personality, Attentiveness doesn't = awkwardness.
agreed, the comments on this video are so moronic(present company excluded) makes me ashamed to call myself a member of the same species, i thought the video was informative, and the guy eating was respectful.
Took me a few years and the discovery of season 2 episode 7 of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown to realize that this guy was actually the highest ranking sushi chef in all of New York until he moved back to Tokyo at age 52 to continue his craft in the sushi capital of the world to satisfy his yearnings. What you see here is his 12 seat restaurant in the heart of Tokyo that he runs with only the help of his wife.
The New York restaurant is a block from my apartment building, and I’ve eaten there several times, once with Chef Yasuda himself preparing my meal. A special treat indeed, and worth every cent. I’ve been eating sushi for decades, and learned something new watching this.
@@lulashepard3253 went to that restaurant about two years ago. Needless to say, it was the sushi experience of my life having never been to Japan as of yet
When I tried wasabi years ago I felt like my sinuses where being rotor rootered!! Still after learning how much to take, for me Japanese food is awesome!
For all those bitching about "eating sushi however they damn well please rawr grah grrr!": you need to understand that at a high-end restaurant, where you have professional master sushi chefs preparing the food, yes, there is a right and wrong way. When you go to an establishment like that, it is not to simply eat your food how you feel comfortable eating it, but to appreciate what is considered an art form to the master preparing it for you. You appreciate it for what it is. If that doesn't float your boat, by all means take your business elsewhere because the chefs at these establishments do not need or want people who choose to disrespect their art. Of course nobody should get in your business about how you eat it at any normal restaurant, but places like the one pictured here require a higher level of respect. A lot of these restaurants don't even like to serve foreigners because of the blatant disrespect coming from their entitled mantra of "the customer is always right". In Japan, the sushi master is always right, and if you don't like that then go to the boat sushi bar down the road.
Lol. I'm dying at those comments that are saying that they'll eat it however they want and shit cause they're paying. Well basically they'll waste their money at a fine establishment by fucking up their food. Dousing sushi, especially otoro, in soy sauce is like asking for your filet mignon to be over cooked. The thing is is that Japanese people, like the every day Japanese man, isn't all formal about it and eats it how he pleases. People just get butthurt that there are apparently rules to something they've culturally appropriated.
The sushi chef was just providing some tips to best enjoy sushi! he had a good sense of humour too and I hope people don't take it as too "imposing" in any sense. I'm sure he wouldn't fault you if you prefer eating sushi in other ways.
when other cultures have etiquette rules, it comes off as very beautiful and eloquent. We have etiquette rules here in the US, but if you use them you come off as snobbish, its a shame really
+C3PO's Bottom Bit - I only have problems with etiquette when it's completely arbitrary. Things like not chewing with your mouth open is good practice because other people could be grossed out by it. How does eating sushi with a fork affect anyone but myself? Because it doesn't adhere to antiquated traditions? Because some snobbish, stuck up asshole thinks it's 'disrespectful,' whatever the fuck that even means?
@LoveofVelvet Have you ever eaten sushi that was prepared in front of you?? You CAN'T make sushi without bare hands! The sticky rice requires just the right pressure and texture from your hand. A vinyl glove would not suffice.

Đức Hùng Nguyễn Being a sushi chef or master is not about making stuff look beautiful, that's what a normal chef does in a fancy restaurant. It's all about balancing the taste and knowing your ingredients. Taste is way more important than the looks of food, especially for Japanese people, I know because i live in Japan.
Đức Hùng Nguyễn He also invented and is credited for a process of separating the layers of tuna and blast freezing to cure it along with many other accomplishments. His sushi literally melts in your mouth. Little Grasshopper in your lifetime you will never be on his level.
Đức Hùng Nguyễn If you're a sushi chef you must be an amateur one if all you care about is looks. Like bringitonTV said, its about balancing the tastes, not the looks. Only amateur chefs like you focus on the looks to mask the taste since you probably don't know wtf you're doing with the sushi.
David Pumpkini Oops, your comment seems to have teleported from 1950. Maybe you made a wrong turn at the Mickey Rooney scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's? (Seriously though, who finds that funny. And why is it always monolinguals who find milk too spicy and anything outside of green bean casserole "too exotic" that are mocking someone's accent? lol)
David Pumpkini I'm sorry, I'm not able to give you the attention your parents didn't. Also, I'm hoping you'll try this in front of an Asian bodybuilder in the near future and see if they find your act as funny as you do.
David Pumpkini This level of fixation is fascinating. I'd be impressed with your level of commitment if we weren't talking about your use of a stereotype used to dehumanize, mock, and exclude Asian Americans. While you find them to be comic relief, stereotypes do tangible harm. They aren't just jokes, they influence human behavior and societal treatment of marginalized groups.
I think these "rules" are less of a snobbish thing and more of a common sense thing from the culture's perspective. Here's an analogy: Let's say you were served spaghetti with meat sauce and a side salad. If you were to mix the spaghetti and salad together, people would think you're being silly. That's the same thing with mixing together the wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce. You don't use a spoon and knife to eat the noodles and salad, you use a fork. Similarly, there's the natural way to use your fingers/utensils and the silly way when it comes to sushi. You don't douse your salad in ranch, you just use enough for a light coating on each leaf. Similarly, you don't dunk the sushi in soy sauce.
Good analogy. Ppl who want to eat sushi the way they please should do it at home with their $5 sushi pack from Walmart or a cheap establishment. When you're dining in a high class sushi bar like in the video, following the rules should be a no-brainer.
I totally agree. On top of it being a cultural perspective, there is the practicality of it all - the general population eats the sushi a specific way because it makes the most sense. Dipping it sushi (rice) side down only results in soggy, over salted rice that falls apart before it even hits your mouth. And as u are placing the sushi fish-side down on ur tongue (as u have it inverted for dipping already), the fish and soy sauce are the first to hit ur tongue. That means u actually taste more of what u are eating. I have learned this from watching a similar video many years ago and can attest to the fact that it really does make it more enjoyable.
They really should have had someone who actually liked sushi and seemed more interested in the whole situation. This guy seemed boring and not engaged at all.
I think he got disengaged as soon as the sushi chef give him the wasabi. He hated it obviously. I think the chef noticed that and that's why he threw a few jokes in.
I'm gonna be using that flip to the side technique for the rest of my life. It just makes so much sense. I've never understood why some sushi is easier to hold than others, it's just matter of coming at it from the proper angle.
Problem: cheap sushi doesnt work like that. The meat doesnt stick. The rice doesnt stick. Flipping to the side doesnt work. So ive given up on cheap sushi. Only the best now. And yes, flip technique.
To my understanding that is very polite in Japanese culture. If he had just munched down without hesitation, i bet the chef would've been rolling his eyes. Baka gaijin.
During my deployment to Japan and the Okinawa islands, I had the privilege of experiencing a variety of sushi establishments. I consistently sought guidance on the proper etiquette for consuming sushi, and the information provided was consistently excellent. These videos are a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about sushi.
Sushi chef is so nice and charming! Amateur eater is quite boring and not engaged at all. He seemed bored and intimidated by the food he's eating. lol They should have chosen someone who actually ENJOYS eating sushi and had more insight on what their eating from this epic sushi chef. He looked completely unimpressed and looked like he wanted to vomit after every bite.
+Arshia D To be honest, I took it as him being camera shy. I often act like that if someone is taking a video or a picture. Of course, that doesn't mean he is camera shy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he's unimpressed or not enjoying it. It could be a whole lot of different things, ranging from all of it simply being new, to simply not knowing what to think of the various tastes. Even someone who enjoys sushi in general may not like all kinds, after all. Also, the point may have been to have someone who doesn't have much insight, as the video is about how to eat sushi. It's likely they were trying to find someone the audience may relate to. That's all just my opinion though.
+Mark Macmillan i agree, the sushi chef would have intimidated me even if though he didnt try to at all. I feel like the eater didnt really know what to say.
+Arshia D Yeah. Even if it was someone who hadn't had much or any sushi before, they could have at least picked someone with some Charisma who could properly interact with the chef.
you want to hold your bottle/glass whichever you prefer, try to leave around 1/5 of water in the bottom and flip it. If it stands you have succeeded the preparation process and you are ready to bring the water close to your mouth and chug the whole thing down your throat. ps. if your penis get's stuck in the toaster it's only because you are using bad quality water from the tap or from 7/11
Do you have a pet? I do. I just share a bowl with my dog. It’s more practical that way, plus you build a better bond with your pet and you have 1 less dishes to clean.
Lol, he gave him like the tiniest little bit and he was about to die. I understand why they wanted an amateur sushi eater but they didn't have to get an amateur man as well.
I love how not only he teaches us how to eat it correctly, but we get to learn with him on how he made it! I’ve always wanted to go to Japan but I’m from the USA.
broshaman Well thats pretty obvious but I still don't understand it. Is it a joke, a saying, a compliment... I have no problem with it I'm just interested.
elmuerto01 I don't care if someone is homosexual or straight. If it's some kind of compliment because his guest is nice to him; OK. If he really thinks his guest is cute; so what? I'm totally fine with that. It was just a total surprise for me. My opinion doesn't even matter anyway. If he is happy the way he lives it's all good.
Neil McMahon like most people who don't live in japan are uncultured, it has nothing to do with being american. Plus he's not american, he sounds like he's from the UK to me.
Gene McBeats exactly, its so weird that nobody gets this simple fact. That's why the chef said "sweet, like you" because the guy was so afraid to say something wrong, and just handling everything with respect.
Exactly what Gene McBeats said. Being in front of a Chef, especially a Japanese Chef, there's a lot of honor and respect. You never want to disrespect both the Chef or the culture. It's a bit nerve wracking. This coming from a Culinary Student.
"You get used to after it happens to you a few hundred times anywhere in Asia. Different culture" Same in some regions of Peru. But people from other cultures just dont get it
I was very lucky to work at a sushi bar in the early 90's part time as a waiter. I learned a lot about how they cook all the common Japanese restaurant food behind the scenes, in addition to everything about sushi and sake. I say lucky, too, because I made like $500 a night in tips, double my hourly wage, so it was great during my college years. But, I was also lucky because I learned a lot about a completely different culture and met a lot of great people. Before I worked there, though, I actually bought a book to learn the things he's teaching in this video, so it's great this is out there for people who don't learn about this stuff like before the Internet became widespread. The only thing I'll say about what he's teaching is that the way you should hold each of the sushi he showed (maki first, nigiri second) is more strict than necessary. Japanese people I served and people I eat sushi with typically hold maki sushi using chopsticks and nigiri using their hands, but nobody would notice if you did it the opposite way, like he showed. There's nothing wrong either way, but holding the nigiri sushi with your hands to properly dip the fish itself, not the rice, into the wasabi/soy sauce mixture is easiest. I've ever seen actually seen anybody who uses chopsticks to turn it on its side, then use the chopsticks to dip it. With maki sushi, holding the seaweed sides with chopsticks and dipping one end with the exposed rice is just as acceptable as the opposite way he showed. I do have to explain to people (the first time) how to use the wasabi and soy sauce. I've seen people try to mash wasabi into their sushi before eating it, not understanding how to mix it with the soy sauce. And, I always have to explain how the ginger is eaten separately, between different kinds of sushi, to cleanse your palette. I'm no "fine dining connoisseur", but I don't get how anybody could eat sushi *with* the ginger and not notice how the ginger flavor just wipes out the sushi flavors. If I had made that mistake, I would never have tried sushi again. I just make sure people know it has a real purpose, because they typically look at it and never touch it, like it's only for decorative purposes. I suppose if you mashed enough wasabi into the sushi, you'd have the same bad experience. That being said, this is great instruction for anyone who's not sure about what they are doing, so it's great to see on TH-cam. There's a lot more history behind sushi, but this is good basic training.
When 2 very humble people meet each other you get a very nice relaxing video like this :) Just recently discovering the different kinds of sushi and oh man I've been missing out my entire life!
Herman Melville I think I saw him on Anthony Bourdain's show. He used to have a sushi restaurant in New York and used to participate in underground fighting. I think the guy's a karate black belt too.
Herman Melville Well he talks about how he synchronizes martial arts with his way of making sushi. It actually is truly beautiful seeing the kinetic link between being a chef and being a martial artist.
Herman Melville He competed in kyokushin, which is the karate equivalent of bare knuckle boxing. He's also currently training as a body builder and looking to compete at Tokyo events. When he lived in New York, his favorite places were Irish bars. He loved the atmosphere and how the bartender served drinks and talked to all the customers. It's why his restaurant only has 8 seats, so he can always talk to all his customers.

I don’t see anything wrong with the guy who is eating the sushi. The chef is the star of the show and the guy is just listening and giving quiet feedback. Seems reasonable to me
He is a master of his craft and has a restaurant with one table - so that he may cook for you.
He asks that you enjoy the food a certain way.
It would be an honour to have him cook for you
Finally someone says it 🙌🏼
That's how omakase work
The problem was that he was being way to submissive for a man lol
The customer was being very respectful of the sushi chef. He listened attentively to what was said, and did his best to follow the instructions. He did well. The Japanese are extremely respectful people and appreciate it in return.
“Don’t shake it”
*Shaking intensifies*
😞
😂😂😂
Matthew Chavarria “like shaking “it” in the men’s bathroom.. “
It will grow if you shake it
My respect for this chef... I learned a lot just in a few minutes. I'm going to be following his instructions next time we go for sushi!
Chef? He sells raw bats. Doesn't cook anything.
you'll shake only when you go to the restroom I hope.lol
He talks like a Japanese Arnold Schwarzenegger. Intimidating, but calm and friendly.
He practices kyokushin karate, so he is in fact as badass as he seems
Yes, he does!
HAHAHA AGREE
Lol love it so true
Get to the choppa!
The way he cuts sushi - that's some samurai shit
we can tell he trained so much using a real katana for this xD
He does it like that so the rice dont stick to the knife.
I need japanese steel
The way he cut the sushi, made me think of him as a japanese version of salt bae cutting meat.
I'M WHEEZING
He had a restaurant in NY City that still bears his name, although he is no longer there: Sushi Yasuda.
One evening, my then girlfriend and I turned up at around 5:30pm, before the dinner rush. We sat at the counter and were served by Chef Yasuda. It was not only the best sushi I have ever eaten, it was the best food. Absolutely breathtaking
Did you let him see you touching your sushi with ginger?
You possibly were super hungry too. Everything tastes better when you are hungry.
@@babycakes8434 Uhm, assume much?

That dude is probably gonna go home and order pizza and wings and watch some family guy to overcome this culture shock that he just had.
nothing wrong with any of that lol
The guy is probably respecting what the chef does, nonetheless i would shut up and listen to him rather than bicker how good sushi tastes
Omg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has PTSD
Post Traumatic Sushi Disorder
He was being respectful
I love the vibe of this sushi chef, he is on point, firm in the rules but has a lot of humor as well, he is an amazing teacher!

All you giving the guy eating a hard time... he was just respecting the position he was put in. He was very respectful to Yasuda, who seemed to like the gentleman’s company and set the tone for the interaction.The guy made a comment at the end about the sushi starting sweet, and Yasuda said “Sweet like you! Haha” so obviously he was happy with the experience too.
John Allen thank you! I don’t understand why everyone is bashing him.
Stefan G Why you gotta make it about race bruh
...and I thought he wanted a tryst when he said "sweet, like you." 😊
It was his 2nd reference after the joke about men shaking after urinating in the mens room .
Silly me!💫
He deserves a hard time. He is a totally normal, boring guy. These shows are for entertainment purposes and he was not entertaining at all.
Nini LaRouge because he’s not being loud and obnoxious and a lot of Americans find quietness intimidating
The ginger is a palate cleanser… that’s why is is to be eaten separately. If you eat it with the sushi it is like saying you want to erase its taste.

Sometimes we have roll your own sushi night at my fam's. I cringe when I see everyone just mix different fish, throw in some ginger, make a THICK fake wasabi/soy mixture and slather it on like bbq sauce, etc. I try to get them to actually taste and enjoy the food, but they're just so "rude"!
I would also add chimichurri to some ginger, a THICC fake wasabi/soy mixtura and OM NOM NOM NOM
I really, REALLY don't understand why people are so mad at quiet respectfulness.
Yeah he seems very sweet
Str8 up. Reading some of the comments I was expecting the dude to look openly uncomfortable and act extremely awkwardly. This is what you get when the typical American encounters someone who is soft spoken. It literally doesn't compute in their brains that you don't have to be super fucking loud ALL THE TIME. Dude was just quiet and attentive. Quietness doesn't = lack of personality, Attentiveness doesn't = awkwardness.

When i was Reading this that came by
Took me a few years and the discovery of season 2 episode 7 of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown to realize that this guy was actually the highest ranking sushi chef in all of New York until he moved back to Tokyo at age 52 to continue his craft in the sushi capital of the world to satisfy his yearnings. What you see here is his 12 seat restaurant in the heart of Tokyo that he runs with only the help of his wife.
The New York restaurant is a block from my apartment building, and I’ve eaten there several times, once with Chef Yasuda himself preparing my meal. A special treat indeed, and worth every cent. I’ve been eating sushi for decades, and learned something new watching this.
I wish I could go there.. but it's probably expensive too..
@@PlasticDoll. the fourteen pieces role is about ¥9k which is not too bad (roughly about $80).

When I tried wasabi years ago I felt like my sinuses where being rotor rootered!! Still after learning how much to take, for me Japanese food is awesome!
For all those bitching about "eating sushi however they damn well please rawr grah grrr!": you need to understand that at a high-end restaurant, where you have professional master sushi chefs preparing the food, yes, there is a right and wrong way. When you go to an establishment like that, it is not to simply eat your food how you feel comfortable eating it, but to appreciate what is considered an art form to the master preparing it for you. You appreciate it for what it is. If that doesn't float your boat, by all means take your business elsewhere because the chefs at these establishments do not need or want people who choose to disrespect their art. Of course nobody should get in your business about how you eat it at any normal restaurant, but places like the one pictured here require a higher level of respect. A lot of these restaurants don't even like to serve foreigners because of the blatant disrespect coming from their entitled mantra of "the customer is always right". In Japan, the sushi master is always right, and if you don't like that then go to the boat sushi bar down the road.
Lol. I'm dying at those comments that are saying that they'll eat it however they want and shit cause they're paying. Well basically they'll waste their money at a fine establishment by fucking up their food. Dousing sushi, especially otoro, in soy sauce is like asking for your filet mignon to be over cooked. The thing is is that Japanese people, like the every day Japanese man, isn't all formal about it and eats it how he pleases. People just get butthurt that there are apparently rules to something they've culturally appropriated.
This comment honestly hits the nail on the head.
The sense of entitlement and obviously overblown egos some people have shown here disgust me.
Thank you for putting it so eloquently
Well said
Actually the 'customer is always right' originated in America due to the corporate food chains.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_customer_is_always_right
I love how the chef speaks so clearly with his japanese accent.
Kind of an underhanded compliment... just say you like his accent.
I love how the chef speaks English even though he's Japanese, and English isn't his first language

Đức Hùng Nguyễn Do you know how to eat sushi? Are you sure? lol
and im a master chef of 5 star hotel
Đức Hùng Nguyễn Being a sushi chef or master is not about making stuff look beautiful, that's what a normal chef does in a fancy restaurant. It's all about balancing the taste and knowing your ingredients. Taste is way more important than the looks of food, especially for Japanese people, I know because i live in Japan.
Đức Hùng Nguyễn
He also invented and is credited for a process of separating the layers of tuna and blast freezing to cure it along with many other accomplishments. His sushi literally melts in your mouth. Little Grasshopper in your lifetime you will never be on his level.
Đức Hùng Nguyễn
If you're a sushi chef you must be an amateur one if all you care about is looks. Like bringitonTV said, its about balancing the tastes, not the looks. Only amateur chefs like you focus on the looks to mask the taste since you probably don't know wtf you're doing with the sushi.
This chef is wonderfully warm and kind.

Also, I'm hoping you'll try this in front of an Asian bodybuilder in the near future and see if they find your act as funny as you do.
David Pumpkini This level of fixation is fascinating.
I'd be impressed with your level of commitment if we weren't talking about your use of a stereotype used to dehumanize, mock, and exclude Asian Americans.
While you find them to be comic relief, stereotypes do tangible harm. They aren't just jokes, they influence human behavior and societal treatment of marginalized groups.

I think these "rules" are less of a snobbish thing and more of a common sense thing from the culture's perspective. Here's an analogy: Let's say you were served spaghetti with meat sauce and a side salad. If you were to mix the spaghetti and salad together, people would think you're being silly. That's the same thing with mixing together the wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce. You don't use a spoon and knife to eat the noodles and salad, you use a fork. Similarly, there's the natural way to use your fingers/utensils and the silly way when it comes to sushi. You don't douse your salad in ranch, you just use enough for a light coating on each leaf. Similarly, you don't dunk the sushi in soy sauce.
Good analogy. Ppl who want to eat sushi the way they please should do it at home with their $5 sushi pack from Walmart or a cheap establishment. When you're dining in a high class sushi bar like in the video, following the rules should be a no-brainer.
.
.
I totally agree. On top of it being a cultural perspective, there is the practicality of it all - the general population eats the sushi a specific way because it makes the most sense. Dipping it sushi (rice) side down only results in soggy, over salted rice that falls apart before it even hits your mouth. And as u are placing the sushi fish-side down on ur tongue (as u have it inverted for dipping already), the fish and soy sauce are the first to hit ur tongue. That means u actually taste more of what u are eating. I have learned this from watching a similar video many years ago and can attest to the fact that it really does make it more enjoyable.
+asdfrozen Very well put.
They really should have had someone who actually liked sushi and seemed more interested in the whole situation. This guy seemed boring and not engaged at all.

You ignorant westerner don't know anything about the zen's detached mind.
Joke, it seems that they just pick a random guy on the street.
I think he got disengaged as soon as the sushi chef give him the wasabi. He hated it obviously. I think the chef noticed that and that's why he threw a few jokes in.
Right I thought he’d be explaining the texture and flavor
He probably saw the cameras and then walked in
Oh my!!! It all looked amazingly delicious, but also loved learning all of these traditions. Thanks to the chef, “Arigato gozaimasu”

I'm gonna be using that flip to the side technique for the rest of my life. It just makes so much sense. I've never understood why some sushi is easier to hold than others, it's just matter of coming at it from the proper angle.
Problem: cheap sushi doesnt work like that. The meat doesnt stick. The rice doesnt stick. Flipping to the side doesnt work.
So ive given up on cheap sushi. Only the best now. And yes, flip technique.

Why is the taster eating like there's a Yakuza hitman behind him ready to shoot if he says something wrong?
Because a Yakuza Hitman was behind him
No shooting. Just losing a finger. Or two.
That was gay and awkward.
The answer is: He's nervous.
To my understanding that is very polite in Japanese culture. If he had just munched down without hesitation, i bet the chef would've been rolling his eyes. Baka gaijin.
During my deployment to Japan and the Okinawa islands, I had the privilege of experiencing a variety of sushi establishments. I consistently sought guidance on the proper etiquette for consuming sushi, and the information provided was consistently excellent. These videos are a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about sushi.
Sushi chef is so nice and charming! Amateur eater is quite boring and not engaged at all. He seemed bored and intimidated by the food he's eating. lol They should have chosen someone who actually ENJOYS eating sushi and had more insight on what their eating from this epic sushi chef. He looked completely unimpressed and looked like he wanted to vomit after every bite.
+Arshia D
To be honest, I took it as him being camera shy. I often act like that if someone is taking a video or a picture. Of course, that doesn't mean he is camera shy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he's unimpressed or not enjoying it. It could be a whole lot of different things, ranging from all of it simply being new, to simply not knowing what to think of the various tastes. Even someone who enjoys sushi in general may not like all kinds, after all.
Also, the point may have been to have someone who doesn't have much insight, as the video is about how to eat sushi. It's likely they were trying to find someone the audience may relate to. That's all just my opinion though.
+Arshia D - The amateur eater looks a bit intimidated. I'd probably be the same knowing that I know basically zero about sushi edicate.
+Mark Macmillan i agree, the sushi chef would have intimidated me even if though he didnt try to at all. I feel like the eater didnt really know what to say.
+Arshia D he was British. Their excessive politeness gets in their own way. But he was cute though
+Arshia D Yeah. Even if it was someone who hadn't had much or any sushi before, they could have at least picked someone with some Charisma who could properly interact with the chef.

Gene McBeats exactly, its so weird that nobody gets this simple fact. That's why the chef said "sweet, like you" because the guy was so afraid to say something wrong, and just handling everything with respect.
Exactly what Gene McBeats said. Being in front of a Chef, especially a Japanese Chef, there's a lot of honor and respect. You never want to disrespect both the Chef or the culture. It's a bit nerve wracking. This coming from a Culinary Student.

Amazing how the chef hand movements are so fast yet graceful and efficient.
I was very lucky to work at a sushi bar in the early 90's part time as a waiter. I learned a lot about how they cook all the common Japanese restaurant food behind the scenes, in addition to everything about sushi and sake. I say lucky, too, because I made like $500 a night in tips, double my hourly wage, so it was great during my college years. But, I was also lucky because I learned a lot about a completely different culture and met a lot of great people. Before I worked there, though, I actually bought a book to learn the things he's teaching in this video, so it's great this is out there for people who don't learn about this stuff like before the Internet became widespread.
The only thing I'll say about what he's teaching is that the way you should hold each of the sushi he showed (maki first, nigiri second) is more strict than necessary. Japanese people I served and people I eat sushi with typically hold maki sushi using chopsticks and nigiri using their hands, but nobody would notice if you did it the opposite way, like he showed. There's nothing wrong either way, but holding the nigiri sushi with your hands to properly dip the fish itself, not the rice, into the wasabi/soy sauce mixture is easiest. I've ever seen actually seen anybody who uses chopsticks to turn it on its side, then use the chopsticks to dip it. With maki sushi, holding the seaweed sides with chopsticks and dipping one end with the exposed rice is just as acceptable as the opposite way he showed.
I do have to explain to people (the first time) how to use the wasabi and soy sauce. I've seen people try to mash wasabi into their sushi before eating it, not understanding how to mix it with the soy sauce. And, I always have to explain how the ginger is eaten separately, between different kinds of sushi, to cleanse your palette. I'm no "fine dining connoisseur", but I don't get how anybody could eat sushi *with* the ginger and not notice how the ginger flavor just wipes out the sushi flavors. If I had made that mistake, I would never have tried sushi again. I just make sure people know it has a real purpose, because they typically look at it and never touch it, like it's only for decorative purposes. I suppose if you mashed enough wasabi into the sushi, you'd have the same bad experience.
That being said, this is great instruction for anyone who's not sure about what they are doing, so it's great to see on TH-cam. There's a lot more history behind sushi, but this is good basic training.
I've learnt that you do not mix the wasabi and soy sauce together in the bowl. They're to be kept separate.
@@tazman572yeah you definitely don’t mix wasabi and soy sauce together.
When 2 very humble people meet each other you get a very nice relaxing video like this :) Just recently discovering the different kinds of sushi and oh man I've been missing out my entire life!
Me: eats sushi
Also me: I am fluent in 1000 ways of offending japanese people
Big mood.
Well it's not like it's terribly difficult for anyone to offend the Japanese.
I love how imperfect the roll looked.
fuck.. it's 1:20 am and I'm starving..

Oh-oh, now I ship them, sry not sry. Yasuda-senpai please be gentle with him.
Stop.
Just stop.
Dakun Cosplay wow I notice that too :D :D :D
but, yes ^
Omg
Dakun Cosplay Senpai totes noticed him.
I like the chef. Funny dude.
Herman Melville I think I saw him on Anthony Bourdain's show. He used to have a sushi restaurant in New York and used to participate in underground fighting. I think the guy's a karate black belt too.
crazyazndriver23 That makes me like him even more. If I'm ever in Japan I'm definitely checking his spot out.
Herman Melville Well he talks about how he synchronizes martial arts with his way of making sushi. It actually is truly beautiful seeing the kinetic link between being a chef and being a martial artist.
Herman Melville I almost died when he said shaking is for the mens room.
Herman Melville He competed in kyokushin, which is the karate equivalent of bare knuckle boxing.
He's also currently training as a body builder and looking to compete at Tokyo events.
When he lived in New York, his favorite places were Irish bars. He loved the atmosphere and how the bartender served drinks and talked to all the customers. It's why his restaurant only has 8 seats, so he can always talk to all his customers.
Man this is my dream to try this exact sushi 😍
Have you not tried to eat sushi?
@@bryantaeb9910 Your sushi is not real sushi. It's garbage. This in this video is sushi. You might learn one day
Hi Wil, so.... have you tried it yet???? ^-^ You should try it with Nico and Erwan.
@@chirazi what do you mean "your sushi"? How do you know he hasn't had Japanese sushi?
@@ThisIsntTwitter Just another condescending d-bag leaving rude and stupid comments that they would never have the nerve to say to someone's face. That's all it ever is. Bunch of sad, pathetic losers.
It´s look very authentic. Now i am curious about how this taste?
He ate 1 piece of roll, moved onto nigiri, and that roll magically reappeared onto plate. How many takes did it take to eat sushi lol?

I’d hate to get it right first time.... 😉
Gosh, this dude looked like he was suffering!
It's the pressure. I was afraid he might've dropped it with his chopsticks or else it would cause dishonor to sushi restaurant and they all commit sudoku.
***** Thats dumb to say considering everything everyone has eaten has been handled by others in one way or another lol
GodOfSteak I think you meant sepuku lol
chidori8291
I'm pretty sure he meant sudoku
GodOfSteak Oh man, that cracked me up! I hope that was intentional.
2:25 my boy cut that roll of sushi with more conviction than I've had in my entire life
Loved this. Didn’t find the patron stiff; loved the chef.
