So much good advice here. As an American I learned early on the much more efficient British way of eating with a knife and a fork
Also love the swipe at Texas 😅

Oh god! I was puking so badly after eating sushi with sea urchin. Literally with blood in the end. It was after eating sushi in high end sushi restaurant, so most likely I got allergic reaction. Be careful with that stuff, folks

He mentioned in the first question that sushi grade is wild caught. However, it is important to know that some fish are not safe to eat raw if wild caught. Specifically, salmon and other fish that spend any time in fresh water. Fresh water fish are more likely to have parasites. So any salmon that is consumed raw is going to be farm raised.
Spending 2 years just to learn to cook rice is just F**KING stupid. If you have good knife skills you can make sushi as good as any sushi chef that spent 10 years training. I know i can.
American sushi is basically garbage. Thanks!

The "A responsible sushi chef should know when to say no" at the end could be generalized to every responsible person behaviour

What a lovely fella
here's a better question: knowing its expensive, why do we crave it so much?
There is no such thing as too much wasabi. 🥵
I did, thanks. Learn something. Sort of embarrassing – I had no idea one could get non-poisonous blowfish by denying them certain foods. I feel lioke an idiot now, since I actually believed that the Japanese still eat hyper-poisonous blowfish. Only very cautiously prepared by master chefs. But why would anyone do that if there is harmless blowfish with the same taste?
Regarding sushi rice: after cooking, place it in a wide, shallow container, add mirin and rice vinegar (and a bit of sugar if neither of those contain much) then fold gently, cover with a teacloth, leave for a bit, fold again, repeat until cool.
2:45 what is the difference between hosomaki and tekka maki?
1:30 맛있겠다
나도 초밥 먹고 싶어
A friend of mine bet 10 bux to eat the whole wasabi that was brought to the table in one bite. 10 bux is 10 bux but do yourself a favor and say 20.
I like how he diverted the answer. 4:48
Sushi used to be way bigger in the Edo period. It was actually finger food.
Woah woah woah, a lie 2:30 in? There is a fish that tasted somewhat like chicken. Eel
Mmm i love sushi so this video was very interesting to me. Taka is a very graceful person.
This guy is NOT a sushi chef…he's a guy who kind of makes something like sushi. Seriously WTF is this channel doing? Get people who are actually qualified.
I love this….sushi is an art form
They do, in fact, make chicken sushi these days! Whether or not it's really authentically "sushi" is up for debate I suppose.
Is it ok for me to go and sit at a sushi bar inside a Japanese restaurant?
now im hungry
I am blind and have not mastered chopsticks yet. I am VERY glad that I am not entirely an animal for picking up sushi with my fingers.
I tried sushi for the first time last halloween. First one was great, then the second had a bone in it. Just my luck.
My father got me to eat sushi, as well as yogurt, by telling me that they were only for adults. I begged to try them (at different times). I fell in love with both foods. he later told me it was a trick to get me to eat them.
Master Sakaeda is so handsome 😮💨
I hope most people realize that in Japan there's a lot more to eat than just sushi. The Japanese are massive foodies. 😉
once you use cream cheese in sushi for X years then that's a traditional cuisine, that's how cooking is.
If I don't have trusted source of raw fish … Should I use smoked? Baked? 🤔
I never expected I would see someone in Support Series roll a sushi roll right in front of the camera! lol
So cool, I didn't know any of this. All good info 😅
Did you say introduce sushi to a wider audience or whiter audience?
When I was in Japan in 96, sushi was banned. I'm glad it's come back but I only eat it in moderation.
Oh man, that green leaf thing isnt just decoration??? AND it's supposed to be a real thing?? I have never been to a sushi place where that green leafy thing wasn't just a piece of plastic fake grass lookin thing. Why don't we get the real thing??
