TH-cam is essentially making free money off small channels and not paying them a single penny. Yes, these are small channels, but since there's so many of them, TH-cam will still make a huge profit off of this new policy. I don't care if TH-cam hates us now, it must be said by someone. I urge to our subscribers that we spread the message to all creators, and urge TH-cam to immediately repeal this new policy.

    His presentation is so simple and it really shows off the skill of his work. I used to work for a high end Japanese restaurant where we put tons of effort into presentation and the dishes were gorgeously presented. But I think in hindsight it was to fool the customers a little as the elaborate presentation covered up that the cut of the fish, or the quality of the fish wasn't at the same level as here. Not that we were bad by any means, but I worked the itaba (sashimi) station and I wouldn't put myself in the same room as Morimoto.

    I know that sushi looks easy to make but, the preparation is not easy and it takes years to perfect the skill. I like watching Chef Morimoto prepare and cook food and he has been cooking for several decades.

      They commented on this once, and Morimoto said that he thinks his English is not very good, so he requested someone to dub his lines. Though I do agree, subtitles would be fine.
