Eating $150 Yakitori Omakase POV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2021
- Truly a one of a kind omakase experience, captured semi-first POV style! I dropped by Torien, sister restaurant of one Michelin-starred Torishiki, to experience a taste of Chef Yoshiteru Ikegawa's thoughtfully curated sixteen course yakitori omakase menu, and got to try seven of his most recommended skewers.

It was so incredible being able to learn from Chef Yoshiteru Ikegawa himself, and to be given the opportunity to capture this front seat experience! Thank you once again to him and the Torien team. As you can probably tell, I was in awe the entire time... and to think this is just a glimpse of the full course experience!!

If only Rie was there too
yeah that's great except that we really like it more when you andrew and rie try different recipes using the same ingredient... that's the content we like more... the view count for these kind of videos will vouch for what I am trying to tell here :)
Where is the location?
I seriously like the choice of background music you put here. You know when you eat something from a grill you feel somewhat tense. The atmosphere in this video is homey and relaxing and I enjoy it. Though it would be nice if you add some comentary at the end to just sum it up and probably some more insight from the restaurant. Keep up the good work guys!
😋😋😋
“There are a lot of earthquakes in Japan. The first thing I do is to protect my sauce.” 8:13
Sir, you have my respect ✊
"And that's how my son died on the 2014 earthquake."
@@bryannsotomayor2575 atleast the sauce is safe
How can he protect them if he’s not even in Japan?
@@alexanderosullivan9764 He is in Japan lol the restaurant is in Tokyo
@@bryannsotomayor2575 Priorities man, priorities...
Dude i always have a hugggeeeee respect for Japanese cooking masters. This feels so authentic. And the way that he cares about his food is completely crazy
exactly.
Lmao keep buying what they’re trying to sell you
I find not caring about ingredients and food crazier, but I get what you mean. ❤
@@organizedchaos4559 yeap but that's the thing ahahaha. You are not paying only for food here. You are paying for thw whole experience. The atmosphere, the chat with the Chef and everything else. That's like a special event.
I even know a great japanese cook he might be the greatest cook ever and his name is VINSMOKE SANJI..
This is like her version of Worth It that she always wanted to do lol.
1:25 the overflowing sake is an act of kindness and generosity by the host to show their appreciation for your friendship (or, in a restaurant setting, for your business)
And I thought we could drink the extra sake thats in the bowl holding the glass😅
@@TheModerndayZoetrope can we not...???
@@SHA3DOW_ well i think you can but, when the host is showing you such generosity it's better for you to not do that i guess..
@@jesterpkl i would think the opposite. Thats probably an expensive bottle. Its rude not to drink it all
@@TheModerndayZoetrope yes, you do drink it. You drink the top off your cup and proceed to pour the overflowed portion back to your cup. Yes, please drink it all and not waste great sake.
the amount of care that the chef puts into every element of the meal is truly insane
Lmao it’s all for show
it must be, 150 dolar for chicken. 150 you can get a real chick
@@organizedchaos4559 you must be pretty bitter if you have time to repeatedly comment hate about a restaurant out of all things lmao
I think it's something that many people deeply admire about Japanese culinary culture in general; that profound devotion to quality. And, in contrast to some of the West's most celebrated chef's, no-one swears at anyone...
Alvin × Inga tandem never fails to impress us
The asian duo that we didn-t know we needed.
@@olgalucianaranjo7987 are they dating?
@@luf4rall no
@Gwynbleidd sweet home alabama
@Roy Watson no
I love how the chef just fades into the dark background after each dish as if to say "it's your turn now, enjoy yourself"
Very mysterious and cool
He almost looks like a cartoon character like his movements are so precise and dramatic, I bet eating in his presence is something you never forget!
I have so much respect for someone that's honed their craft to this point, yet at this point he is still so humble and passionate. Just by witnessing him do what he loves gives so much insight into what sort of person he is.
As soon as the chef answered Inga's question on his mastery of the craft the way he did I knew he was 1000% legit.
That 150$ is not all about the food that just come in to our tummies but the service, experience and a little course about the chicken itself. Wow!
Also for thr chef who's truly a master of his craft
If ppl want cheap they can make it themselves but since they're not experts then wellll
The thing I love most about this channel is that I learn so much from it. Whether it’s a day in the life of a Michelin star chef or it’s an experience at a yakitori place or I’m just learning about recipes to make potatoes with, you treat food with such respect and reverence and make me want to learn as much as I can. I know this specifically is lowkey just free publicity, but it feels like so much more than that. It feels like I’m experiencing this wonderful yakitori with you, even though I’m on the other side of the country, and that’s just super cool. Thank you Inga and Alvin for making such a wonderful experience with this video!
inga x alvin = best tasty duo
What about Ralix? I love both of these duos
*ah, alvin and inga, the absolute power duo.*
It's incredible to watch someone do something they've entirely dedicated themselves to. So inspiring
Omg that chef is so cool .. he had the patience to explain EVERY single thing.
Alvin's camera work is amazing here. It almost felt like I was dining there except for the part where the food and sake didn't get into my mouth :p
actually, that's Inga's camera work!
@@AlvinKZhou both you and Inga's camera works have improved so much and are so aesthetically pleasing to watch, especially on your channels ^^ Always enjoy the videos you guys film!
I want someone to talk about me the way he talked about his sauce :(.
if there's an earthquake nearby you, the first thing I will protect is your barbeque sauce.
There you go.
LMFAO
The reverence towards food that this Chef shows is really inspirational! Food should be respected as important fuel for our body and minds. And seeing they way he talks about it makes me think twice about the mindless trash I put into my body.
*cries in nacho cheese doritos*
It's like a mini spiritual awakening to reconnect with food
I love Inga's episodes. That voice of hers is the most soothing sound, it's almost unreal.
Everything he does is so deliberate and he is so caring for the food and the customer. A fantastic craft and an even more fantastic chef!
I love this chef. So much care and conviction. When I’m feeling down about humanity and all the awful things going on in the world, it’s so nice to see people like him who are doing small but wonderful things to bring others joy ❤️
If you guys ever do a _"Jiro Dreams of Sushi"_ type documentary on food, restaurants, or chef I'd be soooooooooooooooo down for that! And I'm sure a lot of people would be too.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a story about a mentally unwell man and a tendency for the "elite" culinary press to deify insanity. This video and the way the chef talks evoke the same sort of "this is just insanity" response.
the chef is so funny when he said that he'll protect his sauce first when earthquake came😭😭
I don't think he was joking
@@katekramer7679 you actually believe him?
@@organizedchaos4559 there are quite a few restauraunts in japan that have protected their sauce through earthquakes - some are centuries old, so i wouldnt be surprised if he actually does
@@organizedchaos4559 he’s not joking. Each time he dips the chicken into the sauce, the essence and smoke transfers over to the sauce ever so slightly. He wouldnt be able to recreate that flavor overnight. David chang covers this topic on his youtube video for chicken wings.
@@wc4432 do you have a link to the video? I can't seem to find it on youtube.
Really loves the content of this channel where all my favourite cast from Tasty are here and all their videos are such a pleasant to watch. Really like the videos of them going to restaurant to interview the chef and introducing the food.
I love how half the subtitles are just "fan whacking" and "classical music".
These videos are so peaceful…
Thank you for sharing this Yakitori experience to the world! Master Ikegawa is called the Oyakata (godfather) in the Japanese Yakitori community and is definitely the top Yakitori Chef of Japan!
Recently it seems every food channel is focusing yakitori and I rate it. It should be more appreciated as part of Japanese cuisine. You are doing great work About to Eat!
The minute I saw the fan I was like "This man is a master" 🙌
Omg, i love yakitori, and i love the story telling, the quality of image u made in this vid is so warming.
Even just to watch this video of you guys eating at this restaurant makes the world a better place for a while. The amount of appreciation from all sides is so wonderful.
When the Japanese do something, they make sure to do it 120% or not at all and I absolutely love it. They put everything into their craft and it's wonderful to see and experience. There's so much to admire.
I love the film quality of this. It really enhances the food being portrayed
So, it's not just 5 yakitori (and 1 mushroom) plus a small bottle of Sake would cost $150, correct? Normally 16-course menu for $150 (as the chef said in the video; their website says 13 yakitori, but the rest unspecified), right? What does the 16-course menu include?
I had never heard of yakitori but I'm blown away by the care and attention this master Chef puts into every aspect of his craft. Speaking of craft, the camerawork and editing in this video was fantastic! I loved that Inga let the food and the chef be the star of the show, it felt like we were right there with her enjoying an incredible meal!
Every new video from the ATE team always show cases food and cooking in such wonderful ways thanks for the content
This is what happens when your hobby, your passion, and your job aligns themselves in your life. The way he enjoys his craft, going all nerdy when he explains, excited to show it to others. Pure respect.
Also, I really want to see that 16-course meal he normally serves.
This is such a beautiful video, I felt as if I were experiencing everything myself... The music, the editing, the food, the chef himself, everything was so wholesome (oh the music at the end 🥲 so beautiful!)
Thank you so much for making this video, it's a work of art!
The way this guy puts so much thought into his craft is amazing, like wood that is so packed that it burns longer, fanning the heat so the chicken cooks properly, giving a pallette cleanser after each meal, 30 year sauce with the flavors of over time 😲❤️
This atmosphere that crated on the video really heart-warming
Inga and Alvin, I am BURNING with jealousy. 🔥 I want to be there talking to Chef 👨🍳, smelling his cuisine, and tasting all the different flavor combinations of all the different chicken parts. Lucky ducks! 🙇🏻♂️
This was incredible just to watch like this, can’t imagine seeing it in real life
when the waiter overpours the sake i was so confused 😂
@@Rob_Cantor are you supposed to drink what's left in the little bowl?
That is the perfect pour my friend. KANPAI!
@@Rob_Cantor well, some of people don't know this kind of culture, I don't know what to do in that situation and rather ask the waiter
I love the subtle trolling of cooking a whole chicken in the oven 😂. It totally makes sense though.
When?
Thing is, usually cooking a whole animal keeps it more juicy, especially parts that would be very dry (the leaner parts, usually). So I think there are both pros and cons to both styles. To be honest, in Europe we do both entire animals and different body parts, it depends on the dish. 🤷🏻♂️
@@katekramer7679 9:40 he says in america europe they just sticc whole chicken in oven willy nilly in Japan they put so much care into cooking each part of chicken differently with optimal method and temperature for wach to make... idk, tastier chicken? Anyway thats basically what he said
@@kittenmimi5326 Thanks. I've definitely roasted a while chicken in the oven before, so this comment was confusing. Maybe he was talking about the giblets being removed and usually not eaten? The main health agency in the US, the Food and Drug Administration, suggests that it's not safe to cook them in the bird. So many don't go through the effort of cooking them separately (I don't, but maybe now I will!).
I love the BGM!. It feels like I'm watching an anime because its so soothing and the chef's voice is so calm.
you can feel the awkwardness in the way his face expresses and the way he moves but come along with that are the absolute seriousness, humility, and dedication. Such an interesting and, at the same time, respectable personality!
Great quality and I love the chef’s hospitality. Btw, they over poured the sake is a custom to symbolize abundance. You can first drink off the top and proceed to pour the bottom overflowed portion back into your cup. Also you should drink it all, not to waste.
So much care is given to each part of the meat,really elevating each piece to It's fullest potential and akin to a blacksmith,forging and reforging again and again to reach the never ending peak
This man's passion for his craft is truly outstanding. The intimacy and thought he has for his patrons are top notch
We're just accompanying Alvin & Inga on their dates. Love it
That looks so delicious and savory. I could eat ten of those meal sets in one sitting. This is why I have a mortgage
Chef: „this is chicken“
Moderator: „wow“
Chef: „chicken neck skin“
Moderator: „wow“
Chef: „this is my fan“
Moderator: „wow“
Chef: „please drink the sake“
love this experience so much! i was in awe the entire time watching too :D
It seems like it was a wonderful experience! And all the knowledge from the chef is very interesting!
Can't believe we get this content for free! You guys are awesome, keep it up!
Dining in a good place is not only about the way the food tastes or it is presented. it is also about the experience of dining and knowing the story behind each and every item. when you go to everyday restaurants, it's mostly judged for the taste of their food. once the price goes up. people, not only want great taste but also a great experience that comes along with it. it becomes emotional and you want the experience to be memorable because that's what your paying the extra for after all. love the video. hopefully... someday I get to have the same experience...
I love how he answered the question about the sauce without telling us a single thing that goes in it!
I was at a similar New York Yakitori Omokese restaurant once. Torishin. I can't believe there's two different places with such a specific concept.
Thank you for sharing, I love his dedication.
man, this makes me sooo hungry
Alvin's face when he eats delicious food is like the definition how how enjoy life
Watching this 3 in the morning!! Haha i’m hungry fam
Every chef has pride in their menus but I have this special love for Japanese chefs and their confident description.
Wow! What a beautiful experience!
The passion of Japanese cuisine, simply the best!
Is no one going to comment that we finally get to see Alvin eating in this series? Like the past episodes, we see him filming and we see a picture on the cover of him eating but we never got to see him eating in the video. Now it finally happened!!
this is just bar/street food but they were able to make it into an exquisite meal. i swear if the japanese had invented breakfast cereal, we would have cereal artisans serving fine dining cocoa puffs 🤣
The chef is like an anime character who's utterly devoted to his craft
Anyone: *is Japanese*
Some random weeb: OMG it's just like my animes 😍
the commitment to the craft is crazy!
The way head chef announces welcome and the rest of the staff repeat. Love that
11:51 alvin just taking a bite and smiling :>
I NEED to go to this restaurant if I get the chance. I can only imagine how amazing their chicken skin skewers are.
5:06 - we always recommend that the first bite, no seasoning...
Next skewer: 7:01 - drowns yakitori in lemon juice without first taking a bite.
Also: 7:23 - why are you putting sauce on your grated daikon? It's supposed to be bland/fresh as a palate cleanser.
i came here in july when i was visiting NYC and it was truly one of the best dining experiences ive ever had. ive been recommending it to everyone i know!
I wish Rie was there too
I think Rie, Andrew, Adam & Annie are based in LA, while Inga & Alvin are in NY.
The care and passion the chef exudes in his cooking and for the craftsmanship, huge respect. 🙌
i watched a lot of videos relating to Japanese food. But this is the first time i've seen a chief whom treats his tools as an extension to their own body.
My god, the music, editing and cinematography is absolutely incredible
I really love you guys you never fails to impress me and I really appreciate the chef he is so humble and he explain every part of the food and why it is so important to bring the flavour that he want …. just 🥰 i will visit this very soon just massive respect to chef ✨🥰🥰
damn the chef's a legend
The true and deep celebration of eating proccess and of food itself. Majestic
Magical.
Inga & Alvin -> perfect duo ☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰🥰
The amount of passion that the Chef has is incredible.
this feels weirdly like an rpg game!
Monster Hunter !!! GrandmaCat =((( MuscleCat!!
My favorite is always the soft knee tendon of the chicken. It has a slight chew that I love.
Why do I feel so emotional watching this. I see his passion and love for his craft.
Why am I crying over food.
I love his energy ! So humble
3 min in the video I already feel a deep respect for the explaining grill master with the fan.
This was beautiful. Cooking is truly an art form & he’s an amazing artist.
The video is great! The food though...pretty overpriced for some grilled chicken. They've got 300yen (~$3) yakitoris in Japan which taste great as well, so 16 skewers would be around $50. So does this place make it three times tastier?
From the sounds of it, yes it is that tasty. But I’m also thinking it’s because of the omakase nature of the menu, which usually brings up the price, plus they’re in New York too, which surely also brings up the price.
It's watching this kinda stuff that I'm reminded why I'm so interested in Japanese culture. I know not everyone in Japan is like this, but I haven't really seen many dedicated, skilled, respectful people in my country.
He has a very very straight posture
The level of translation is just amazing. Accurate down to the nuance level.
That's an incredible video with an incredible experience, so much passion. I would love to go there
Love the way they filmed it... feels like im there ⭐️⭐️⭐️
6:35 the chef talking about how its impossible to master, with another chef in the background dropping something on the floor, lmao
They raised simple food consumption to an art!
I shed a tear...
