what a love energy this master has! Hail Chef-San
Never seen a man love recieving melons so much
Melons~~~
First 12 seconds impressed me enough and i am sushi chef
This is one of the few chefs on this series that doesn't seem so mystic. He's just a normal dude who has an amazing talent.
The passion and enthusiasm he has for what he’s doing is amazing. It really shows in his food.
Precision seems to be part of the quality process here. I'm sure that reflects in the foods flavors.
Pompous nonsense
Nice✌️👍👌
Nakaji is honestly one of the best omakase in NYC!
Japanese food is always bland. I never care to eat it. Korean food is the best.
1 melone in Italia costa 1/2 euro
What was it he was washing that octopus in? I know it wasn't soap but it looked like it.
Nice guy 👍
Japanese food is overrated and overpriced.
What a beautiful story, I'm sure his father would be quite proud seeing this.
Bring back the meat hook
He should teach his children now so his next generation can keep it.
This is a great video, especially hearing how much it meant for the father to transfer knowledge to the son.
A chef not looking for fame or glory. A true outstanding gentleman who is maintaining not only his family traditions, but his father's legacy to be known not just in Japan but to the world. The meal is well prepared with respect and kindness as well as showing his vibrant personality to his guest.
Truly an amazing presentation showing a loving son honoring and remembering his father in the kitchen. This one's going in the books
the dad has some full eyebrows cool video
