  1. This is the video when and why I've become a subscriber of the channel.
    Thank you, Taka.

  2. Oh god i was hoping for a sushi version of method mastery. My prayers have been answered

  3. I’m not gonna lie, I consider myself a sushi traditionalist! Nothing beats a 🍣 with high quality fish !
    The best or nothing !

    Cheers from San Diego California

  4. There is no such thing as "sushi-grade" fish in the US. It's simply a marketing ploy. Although the governing bodies have recommendations for how fish should be handled and stored after it is caught, there is no legal definition of "sushi-grade". Just an FYI. It may indicate something meaningful for some suppliers but it isn't universal.

  5. If you dont want futomaki you should un-equip some armor.

  6. At home? I want to open a restaurant now! I feel in some cases the concept of sushi gets lost in so many "innovative" restaurants (nothing wrong with that tho), and having a real conservative restaurant where you can see the magic happen and being explained of their cultural heritage or how the ingredients work, could be a 10/10 experience

  7. As Japanese, this has a lot of questions. lol
    Hope none of Japanese sushi chefs in Japan do watch this video 🤣🤣🤣

  8. Wait, did he have use that towel so that the knife has a little bit of moisture?

  9. I have been making sushi for years, but I learned something new. Whenever I visited family and friends in Japan I was always making cone shaped temaki, but I did not know a cylinder or open shape was also temaki. Thanks for the info.

  10. finally a sushi video that is not making american rolls with avocado and gallons of mayo
