    The chef has been in this profession for 17 years, yet he said that he experiences nervousness every day. The art of preparing Yakitori is no joke.

    having broken down chickens for yakitori myself (I'm just an amateur learning), I was dying when I saw how he breaks down the chicken. when it did the neck I almost cried, it always takes me FOREVER, he just flies through and I'm sure with infinitely better results. a true master

      @@miriamberman5581 true. but I'm sure he would leave me in the dust even with a plastic knife! 😂

    I love his playful and professional spirit. It's very humble, down to earth, and he's got a great attitude and sense of humor~

    Incredible, the skills on display when he segments the chicken are fantastic to watch. He seems like a really entertaining chef too, it would be a pleasure to watch him cook.

      Because it doesn't matter if you know what they do. You will not be able to replicate it.
      It's like Roubuchon, Jean George, Alsatian.. They all have cookbooks published with exact recipes. You can't replicate the restaurant level even if you tried

    ATS has perfected his craft, just amazing! What they didn't show is the cleanup, ordering of chicken, spices, charcoal Etc... Don't forget about paying his bills to run his restaurant as well as payroll for his staff. He does all of this with only 37 minutes of sleep a day.

    Heart, soul, body... everything comes together as a Japanese artisinal master, a sensei, creates...
    He is still nervous, means he cares so much about his art and his reputation; means he is not jaded, not complacent after years and years of experience and honing of his skills.
    Chef Kono, 万歳!

    I made myself my own yakitori BBQ, and I couldn’t be prouder or more satisfied with the result …. but I run it with maple charcoal. This chef almost convinced me to order the bichotan charcoal, but I had to realize once more that this is out of my reach. You would not believe how expensive it is to get the stuff in Canada…

    I love this episode and the chef's vibes. I have to say that I was distracted/disappointed with the mistakes I saw in the captions. Some of them I think could have been easily noticed if you know what the chef is talking about. Just for example 13:22 it says "tartar sauce" but he clearly makes tare sauce after, which was correctly noted later. Out of respect for this chef and the viewers, I think someone should check these captions.
