The simpler a dish, the harder it is to get it done to perfection. It's really impressive that a simple dish like this bowl of rice with grilled eel has won a Michelin star. It must be really delicious...
TheAntibyte I've watched it before! I still dream of visiting that restaurant some day just to experience what sushi made in the hands of a master tastes like. Likewise, Jiro's sushi are also all very simple.
Julian Hickman I'm sorry, I don't think that's arrogant. He implies his feeling of proud to him. I got what you say but, Arrogant means if the person show off about what they have.
+Julian Hickman Ironically, it's YOU who are coming across as attempting to be superior here with your entirely unnecessary batch of pedantry. It was clearly meant as a compliment.
Well being humble IS a good virtue so i don't see why not praise him? In asian culture it is always good to be humble and ppl always praise you for being humble
I love this. So many Michelin starred restaurants and highly regarded restaurants have such an attitude. They always brag about have the best dish, the best ingredients, the best technique. This guys was just like "I hope they like my food. I don't want them to be disappointed." Its amazing. I really want to eat there now.
Johnny D not at all. Depends if they're assholes or not. There are many Eastern assholes in Japan as there are in the West, except France is the most arrogant nation probably
'Easterners' is a really general term. China is eastern country, and chinese tourist are known worldwide to have a very bad attitude (not all of course). While japanese is the like the opposite of it, they are known for their manner(and once again, not all of them).
Too many self hating westerners lol. The western civilization is a great civilization, they invented things like cars, airplanes, lightbulb etc. The greatest civilization in the east is China, they invented paper, printing, compass, gunpowders, seismographs, porcelain etc. Including the mother language for east asia, hanzi. Japan did not invent but rather improved on existing products, they made cars better, cameras better and video games better. They did invent bullet trains. Instant Ramen fun fact was invented by a Chinese called Go Pek-Hok who moved to Japan and became momofuku ando. Of course, the japanese will try to hide the fact that instant ramen is invented by a Chinese as much as they can ;) Notice how the Cup Noodle museum did not mention where he was born! Shameful japan, japanese are not as honorable as you might think! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momofuku_Ando www.cupnoodles-museum.jp/en/osaka_ikeda/about/
WITH A FUCKING CHOPSTICK! That was my response, legit out loud as fuck I had to yell that when I saw them do it. I want some of that Eel so fucking bad right now, I would kill 200 baby blue whales to get it.
I went here last week. Unagi was cooked very well, extremely delicate. Sauce was subtle so the focus was more on the natural flavor of the eel. However you need to appreciate the eel texture, don't come here just for the Michelin star or you won't like it.
Never have I ever watched a video that felt so relaxed and familiar; everything about it, the music, video editing, and interview felt right. You've captured and showed how passionate and modest they are at what they do without any pretension. Thank you.
This youtube channel has provided little else that can compare to the simple majesty of this video. Three and three quarter minutes culminating in a gorgeous presentation of the finished product. Exceptional.
I feel like this restaurant, and the way its owner runs it, really captures the Japanese tradition and culture: beauty through simplicity, patience and refinement
I never ate Unagi before, I'm not really into the Japanese kitchen. However, I like to watch this video when I'm stressed, it's so soothing. I feel much better everytime without a doubt after watching this. Thanks humble man.
The simplicity of it all makes it great. No fuss shop doing what they do with attention to detail and care each day. Some great technique shown in this vid. After prep, grill, then steam, then remove bones, then grill with the sauce.
I always watch this video when I'm hungry. But the beauty if this is just amazing. The comfort the video offers is so warm, that it makes you want to visit
Every small restaurants in japan especially those in towns are so good. They all work and serve their foods with compassion and dedication. If ever u travel in japan stop by a small eatery,you'll see how amazing these tiny restaurants are.
No disrespect to the culinary world. Its the attitude and the humbleness that matters not how many stars you have. Looks at this guy and Hawker Chan and their attitude. "I hope they like my food. I don't want them to be disappointed." - Awesome
Unagi never fails to appetite me!! The tastes of unagi is irreplaceable .i wonder how this restaurant's unagi taste like like, six generations of history. A simple dish with just eel fish coated with savory sauce, on top of hot steaming rice, would always make my day anytime anywhere!
When you put heart into trying to get something right. It's not the name, not the history of the place. He just wants to serve food that doesn't disappoint. Amazing
It’s hard to find something like this eel restaurant, in the U.S. where it’s not very big, but you can tell so much pride and passion are put into the shape, the food, and the experience. I really enjoy the way Japanese business owners, small and/or large ones, run their businesses so passionately and skillfully. I wish more people in the U.S. would learn more from how people in Japan/Asia do things.
The illusory of the meal when it came out of the box, it looked really good and then just from the drawing down of the chopsticks to separate the eel into what immediately turned into several portions of eel sushi, it had a umami effect in my brain...WTF I wish I could kiss the chef.
This place is fantastic! if you ever decide to go, make sure you show up early to grab a seat. A friend and I made it during lunch (11:30 AM) and they sold out right after us! It was sad to see people being turned away but that made the unagi that much more satisfying!!! 10/10 would go again.
This Is absolute art in its design. I would love to travel there and meet the owners, taste the food. And I must admit I have eaten eel before and do not love the flavour. But it looks so good here
This video was lovely. I appreciated how humble they seem to be despite having a coveted Michelin star.
brandonprows his mom was like 'meh' tbh lol
They've been around for 6 generations though. A newer establishment would be more thrilled to be recognized.
why should i?
joseph blake man I got chills from how edgy you are
Thank you for acknowledging Willie's good job! You are a great contributor to the site!
The simpler a dish, the harder it is to get it done to perfection. It's really impressive that a simple dish like this bowl of rice with grilled eel has won a Michelin star. It must be really delicious...
i like how you think lol
The simpler the dish, the more it shows quality of the ingredients and the preparations that went into the dish
TheAntibyte I've watched it before! I still dream of visiting that restaurant some day just to experience what sushi made in the hands of a master tastes like. Likewise, Jiro's sushi are also all very simple.
unagi is hella delicious dude. go try it.
Yeah you could say that. The sauce should be not as simple as you think but overall it is quite intuitive, all about the years of experience
He seems to be a really humble man, I'm proud of him
It's definitely still you, Jules
Julian Hickman I'm sorry, I don't think that's arrogant. He implies his feeling of proud to him. I got what you say but, Arrogant means if the person show off about what they have.
EJ7 Will oh my god do you people really not get the joke? "proud" is the opposite of "humble" It's JUST a joke jesus Christ

Well being humble IS a good virtue so i don't see why not praise him? In asian culture it is always good to be humble and ppl always praise you for being humble
the sound those food containers make, like when they close the lid on it 3:12, is so pleasing.

AKA the difference between westerners and easterners. Yeah, I said it.

k z a chill bro, the topic is about the attitude of some Michelin star restaurants
That ending part though. it looked so good and delicate
Parts it with the sticks only, Geez. looks so gooood!
WITH A FUCKING CHOPSTICK! That was my response, legit out loud as fuck I had to yell that when I saw them do it. I want some of that Eel so fucking bad right now, I would kill 200 baby blue whales to get it.
I waited the rice to stick together it looked mushy neat little bento box for school lunches
Fun fact: at 2:11 you can see the mon (emblem) called "Maruni chigai takanoha", this mean that this man is from a samurai family.
Cool
thats cool to know
Very cool, thanks for the fun info!!
The kikuchi clan
That video was honestly amazing, beautiful music made it so peaceful to watch I just blinked and it was already over.
such a humble guy!
CK IU yes let us praise him for lowering himself!!!
another man who inspires me. my dream of having a michelin star. someday
I went here last week.
Unagi was cooked very well, extremely delicate.
Sauce was subtle so the focus was more on the natural flavor of the eel. However you need to appreciate the eel texture, don't come here just for the Michelin star or you won't like it.
Do they have a shop in seattle washington
Never have I ever watched a video that felt so relaxed and familiar; everything about it, the music, video editing, and interview felt right. You've captured and showed how passionate and modest they are at what they do without any pretension. Thank you.
Watching this while eating my instant ramen noodle, I keep saying to myself...soon...soon...soon....
me too, luckily i have a holiday to japan booked :3
Good for you man! Holiday to japan sounds fun!
well I just came back from Tokyo and I tried an Eel place at Tsukiji. Also very good.
Lol. At least, you're eating something, Bro!
Boogie Boogie exactly what im doing everyday i ate food in my teeny tiny dorm room
The piano was perfect, sound like something out a Miyazaki film, and the eel looked amazing omg.

unagi is my favourite!! i wonder how this one tastes... 200 years of history, 6th generation in the business... *slurps*
mine too... if i had to choose only 1 thing to eat for the rest of my life, it´d be unagi for sure...
I came to Japan for a high-end unagi restaurant this year, a little disappointed though.
Shinji seems like a really cool and friendly guy, and that eel looked beyond delicious! Makes me want to go to Japan right now!
When will I learn that I shouldn't watch these type of videos on an empty stomach... ugh..
David Y never
David Y never ever
David Y ... don't make me shit
David Y - right?!
David Y so true and most I won't find anything as good as was watching 😂😂😂

Such a humble guy. Respect. These kind of videos can always puts a smile...
I always come back to this video so comforting
I never ate Unagi before, I'm not really into the Japanese kitchen. However, I like to watch this video when I'm stressed, it's so soothing. I feel much better everytime without a doubt after watching this. Thanks humble man.
Wow. The humility of this man made the video so much more beautiful.

I really really love this video. The flow, the vibe, the music, the picture, the attitude, and on top of that THE UNAGI
I really love this video from every aspect..videography, naration, backsound, scene, everthing is just perfectly made
This video was beautiful in so many aspects. What a great and humble owner.

The elegant box. Such a simple combo: eel & rice. I so wanted to taste it - looked so tasty.
That rice looks amazing.
So soft.
The dish looks so beautiful.
Simple music for a simple meal. Perfection

I'm happy for them & I wish them many more successful years .
God, I love the music along with the story, it's so peaceful.
Absolutely love it!! That simplicity. Such modesty. Makes my insides all mushy-gooey.
I hope this channel grows, so that I can enjoy more pleasing foods from around the world
The soothing piano in the background helped so much lol
Since 1845...6th generation...there's a reason they stood the test of time; attention to details, thought, and dedication in what they do, respect.
That was actually beautiful, thank you for this video.
Went there early Jan this year, best trip I ever took as a family
Went again 2nd September 2019, still in love with it
Wow. Probably the most beautiful video I've seen in a while.
I went to this restaurant 3/4 times now thanks to this video and it is worth it. Absolutely Amazing. Video is great
Very humble man and a very elegant presentation.
this looks so fucking honest.i mean there’s something about this dish.it’s like,it gives you a sense of comfort and delight
Unagi never fails to appetite me!! The tastes of unagi is irreplaceable .i wonder how this restaurant's unagi taste like like, six generations of history. A simple dish with just eel fish coated with savory sauce, on top of hot steaming rice, would always make my day anytime anywhere!
Beautifully shot and exited. Bravo.
lol the mom was like "oh cool" about getting a star
Kat Aguinaldo "that's awesome, oh BTW can you get some toilet paper on the way home?"
+Sebastian Köhler Öberg HAHAHAHA
What a beautiful soothing video for the end of the day. Eating cottage cheese while watching this though...
its nearly perfection, totally inspiring. how they treat food unlike any other country .. respect!
When you put heart into trying to get something right. It's not the name, not the history of the place. He just wants to serve food that doesn't disappoint. Amazing
This is making me crazy. Humble charm on top of amazing food just isn't fair.
I love unagi... definitely going there next time I'm in Tokyo
Such a relaxing soundtrack...
*WHAT IS IT?!*
Duh Sushi Spirited Away- One Summers day maybe?
yes!!!
I can confirm it most certainly is not that, unfortunately.
No way that is from Spirited away, but thanks for the feels.
Ryuichi Sakamoto- 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
what matters is the taste. simple or not, if it taste great, it'll deserve a star
03:18 I pause the video and I keep watching this beautiful image. Speechless.
Please continue make more of these type of videos! i'm sure you will be success!
Looks good. Never had eel dish before. I like that he reuse the skewers.
Looks simple enough and I bet it tastes like wonders.
What a great video from the content and music, to the subjects and editing. Beautiful. Flawless. Eely. And now I'm hungry.
This video is so relaxing and satisfying... anyone else?
Remarkable video, amazing production and score. I look forward to more videos of this calibre.
It’s hard to find something like this eel restaurant, in the U.S. where it’s not very big, but you can tell so much pride and passion are put into the shape, the food, and the experience. I really enjoy the way Japanese business owners, small and/or large ones, run their businesses so passionately and skillfully. I wish more people in the U.S. would learn more from how people in Japan/Asia do things.
Music is beautiful. Food looks great and concise.
every time i see sth about japan that always put such harmonizing music.
This video just radiates amazing vibes. If I ever get to go to Japan again I'm definitely going to find this place and try it out myself.
Great video from music to the different camera angles.
I just finished eating a huge meal and watching this made my mouth watered.... I'm really hungry for this....
the chap talking about his restaurant sounded so genuine, like he really appreciates his own food
Truly one of the best dishes
simplicity is always sublime
I keep seeing this on my recommended. Glad I finally watched. 😊
What an evoking video, I loved it! Hats off to the chef, his mom and all the staff, the dish looks amazing
this guy is so chill
This was so beautiful with that anime ost in the background I almost cried
2020 i will visit japan and i will be stopping here! Love unagi!!
That looks fabulous! The Japanese seem to have a unique ability to make 'simple' dishes look so elegant and taste amazing.
The illusory of the meal when it came out of the box, it looked really good and then just from the drawing down of the chopsticks to separate the eel into what immediately turned into several portions of eel sushi, it had a umami effect in my brain...WTF I wish I could kiss the chef.
So simple and elegant
Great video, literally watched it over 3 times. I like the atmosphere you managed to set off and the food looked amazing.
He enjoys his work more than as a business..love it
This was really humbling, awesome!
This place is fantastic! if you ever decide to go, make sure you show up early to grab a seat. A friend and I made it during lunch (11:30 AM) and they sold out right after us! It was sad to see people being turned away but that made the unagi that much more satisfying!!! 10/10 would go again.
This Is absolute art in its design. I would love to travel there and meet the owners, taste the food. And I must admit I have eaten eel before and do not love the flavour. But it looks so good here
Idk why but this almost brought me to tears
I bet it tastes divine!
Final shot; I bet that is absolutely delicious!
