What’s fascinating to me is that this might be the MOST approachable any media has made high end Omakase, and yet watching the technical skills needed (as a chef myself) is still so intimidating. Absolutely love this series!
I believe this is a digital genre, docu-advert. It's tastefully done, and it literally shows people why they pay over 37 bucks per bite of food. If it's your cup of tea, I definitely understand why we would watch a 20 mins commercial in it's totality
@ihatethewind This is not pretentious "my guy". You want to see pretentious, go to Japan. There, you will find pretentiousness in abundance. This chef however, has created an atmosphere of expertly guided indulgence of exquisitly prepared food, in an atmosphere of close family and friendship. He is sharing his skill and knowledge with his customers, in a way that enables his customers to feel comfortable and relaxed in a zen environment. Pretentious is when a chef kicks you out of his bar because you refuse to remove your watch.....
I know I’m no restaurant owner but I’m a fisherman and the fact he is using high grade fish and takes care, love and makes sure to use the fish as a piece of himself. Beautiful.
The fact that his dad also cooks with him and that its a generational art is so incredible. You dont see much of that in the world anymore so its really cool to see that live on
I actually really like this dude, tells you how long to salt the fish and lets you in on some techniques, was really happy he said what type of vinegar he used for the rice.
At first I thought $300 per person for 17 courses sounded expensive but after watching everything that goes into this I can see why it is worth it! Excellent video!
Same here. I started out saying 300 Dollars for 17 bites is outrageous. But seeing the quality and cost of the raw product, the effort, skill, experience, time and labour that makes this what it is, yeah, 300 bucks seems more than justified.
Straight up mastery! No bs gold leaf stuff to make things expensive and fancy but just straight knowledge and expertise on how to make use of immaculate ingredients!
Mastery? He used fish that had been dead for days without being gutted. He's incompetent and will end up seriously injuring someone sooner or later. Anyone who knows anything about safe handling of fish knows if it isn't gutted immediately, let alone before shipping its incredibly dangerous to eat. It'll end up riddled with all kinds of bacteria, among other things, due to decomposition
@@JS-wp4gsassuming he’s been doing this for 2 years using the same process 5 days a week 16 seats that means he roughly serves this 8k times and since there’s a video is safe to assume he hasn’t gotten into any food poisoning trouble. Which means if there is possibility of danger the odds are extremely low. Or hear me out people who’s been shipping these things for years knows what they’re doing.
In Japan, it is said that you can tell the quality of a sushi restaurant by its omelet. The fact that his father entrusted him with the omelet shows the respect he has for his father.
He should have paid less attention to the omelet and more to basic seafood safety. He used fish that spent days in shipping without being gutted. He's going to poison someone eventually. If the health department finds out how he's handling fish they'll shut that place down in five seconds flat
The fact he’s so confident in his very obvious skills makes me feel like he loves what he does and has a deep understanding of techniques most chefs may over look. And his sharing of all his tips and tricks for others is awesome as it shows anyone can do this given enough time and training, but I’d still come straight to him for this amazing meal! ❤
'Confident' No, he's too incompetent to realize he doesn't know what he's doing. Hence using the worst of the worst quality of fish and buying fish that hadn't even been gutted before being shipped. a big food safety and legal no no
as someone who has had the privilege of personally sitting in on one of Jesse’s omakase dinners, it is a lifechanging and incredible experience. Jesse is an extremely humble and personable guy, he works tirelessly to give people the best dining experience possible. royal izakaya is a must when youre in philly!!! and also GO BIRDS!!!!
As a young chef and owner of an asian restaurant who's very cuisine to cook and eat this has been one of my favourite bon appetite sushi episodes due to chef Jesse Ito very friendly and knowledgable.
This series just keeps getting better and better. The passion, commitment, dedication. Just amazing. Great video - would love to go here. Also, even though i know how big tuna is, i'm still surprised when i see just HOW BIG tuna is
Once dad popped in the scene..it completely warmed my heart - especially after hearing the brief history. Such a complete blessing. I wish you all the best of health, success, and happiness in 2024!
The personality of this guy is just amazing, kudos to the parents as well for bringing up such a pure hearted chef, willing to show how things is done to the world. His passionate to what he is doing😊❤
The personality of this guy is just amazing, kudos to the parents as well for bringing up such a pure hearted chef, willing to show how things is done to the world. His passionate to what he is doing
If you go to Google street view to the corner of 2nd St and Fulton St you can see Jesse sit on a Bench taking a break in the same outfit he has in the video. Something about this scene makes him even more sympathic
Oh my gosh!! Absolutely amazing. I wish I was able to go in-person so see such an extraordinary restaurant and experience like this. Just watching how he starts the day preparing and with his father and wonderful employees with him. Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing experience even if I’m not able to attend.
@@Raccoonopolis Plus drinks, tax, and tips. So it comes out to nearly $400 per person per dinner. And having done it 4 times in the last 3 years, I have to say it was worth it.
@@timothycloutier4370 yeah, because they let you book a future date after you dine, I've never seen an available reservation when they open at midnight. you're better off looking for cancellations 24-48 hours beforehand.
Staying consistent with that level of attention and passion is the real magic I'm seeing. His skill is extremely high, of course, but his commitment and consistency is the true professionalism and artist.
Woohoo! Jesse is such an amazing chef. Had the pleasure of having the omakase a few times and you can really tell the love and passion he has for what he does. Phenomenal experience!
100%. Going in at 10 it's nothing. But his years and techniques of curing and timing are another. He's on stage later. And the profit margins for these restaurants are extremely slim.
I don’t live in Philly, but Royal is hands down one of the best spots in the country. I have not had the opportunity to try the omakase yet, but the normal walk-in dining experience is still phenomenal. The textures and flavors of some of the fish is something I haven’t had anywhere else before. I specifically remember the mackerel being so tender and unlike any other mackerel I’ve had elsewhere.
What a well put together episode with a solid chef. Hard working, down to earth and a consummate professional, esp in that last bit where he recognizes that he is a key part of the omakase experience and thus has to engage and interact with energy no matter what may be going on in the background.
I could watch a 24 hour version of this! I used to think such tiny portions were ridiculous for the the prices being charged but after seeing these brief intricacies I would GLADLY put some money aside to try this out even though I'm extremely picky with raw fish. The skill levels of this gentleman and his surrounding team is an honor to witness.
Go birds. I've been eating Chef Ito's food since he was with his parent at Fuji. One of my favorite meals of all time was a Kaiseki at Fuji. Another was the Omakase at Royal Sushi.
Quiet confidence, knows the exact cost of everything by heart and takes care of a lot of his own branding. This guy is legit and will be around for a long time.
Oh, this was pure joy 🥲 Cuisine might not be an art form, in the same sense as painting, theatre, literature or the others. That being said, the care, expertise, decades of training, learning & experience, the quiet pride and attention to exquisite quality and detail, all these make for an exceptional documentary. Japanese cuisine lends itself perfectly to this, as it’s so precise, delicate, detail-oriented, minimalist and beautiful at the same time. It’s been an enriching, very pleasant 20 minutes, thank you 🙏
There's smart people then there's intelligent mixed with art. And this is Jesse Ito. An artist who works with food as his medium. Love every minute of this
High and eating my $5 pizza, I’m very satisfied with the depth of quality and nuance of discourse about sushi I was not aware of. Appreciate the look into someone else’s passion
I'm sitting on my bed, glass of wine in hand, and suddenly I'm like, "I MUST LEARN HOW TO PREPARE FISH NOW!!" I have such a desire to get taught by a local fishmonger. This whole process is so fascinating, the delicate touch and strength required all at once is amazing! ❤ Loving this video ❤

A culinary dream! Just imagining the experience of this 17-course omakase is making my mouth water. Limited spots, limitless flavors! The exclusivity of only 16 people a night adds to the allure of this extraordinary dining experience.
Thanks Jesse for sharing your day/prepping for the omakase that I hope I will get to experience personally - truly helps to make it more appreciable and appreciated!
Respect. There's so much talent and passion packed into a single video. It's amazing to watch the skilled combination of food and ingredients, which transforms them into a masterpiece of art and flavor!
That’s amazing! My husband and I do alot of fishing but would absolutely love to try this dinner out! His technique and love for preserving the fish is out of this world!
I’ve never been attracted to a sushi chef.. yet here I am. This menu was AMAZING, his process amazing, his team quietly accomplishing difficult techniques. This was so impressive and now I want sushi at this grade.
You know a craftsman is a master when they show you what they are doing, explain exactly how they are doing it, and you still know that it would take an incredible amount of skill and practice to get to their level.
Great video, loved the the way the guy spoke he clearly has a lot of passion for what he does and he speaks really well, everything is easily understandable Also love how we get to see every part of the day including the prep and the photography
Seeing Chef Jesse Ito with his father was very healing for me as an asian american that always aspired to be able to keep pace and eventually surpass my father
a true chef, cares about his products, his craft and his customers...treats his employees well and with respect. you can see where the money is going...
I wish I could afford to try this, I would really appreciate the tastes especially knowing how much care, effort, detail & passion has gone into all this :) thanku for sharing
"Rice is more important than the fish." is my favorite comment in the video. He can spend so much money, present it in such an amazing way, use fantastic techniques, but knows that the "simplest" ingredient will make or break it all.
Beautiful, incredible, and this chef is very personable. The philosophy of nigiri-zushi carries over into so many aspects of my life, and I never tire of learning about it.
What a dream! This restaurant experience and the effort that goes into this is SO impressive. We love to see it. And if BA is ever interested in the love, care, and effort that goes into a mill and bakery... they know where to find us 😉❤
I can see why the level of expertise and high quality of the ingredients and surroundings all contribute to the $300/head price tag. I am sure that the experience is sublime!
What’s fascinating to me is that this might be the MOST approachable any media has made high end Omakase, and yet watching the technical skills needed (as a chef myself) is still so intimidating. Absolutely love this series!

Agreed!
I know I’m no restaurant owner but I’m a fisherman and the fact he is using high grade fish and takes care, love and makes sure to use the fish as a piece of himself. Beautiful.
If you were actually a fisherman, you would be able to tell the fishes that he uses are low grade and about to go bad.
@@StuninRubI'm no fisherman, can you point out the bad fishes on this video?
And as a fisherman he shows respect to the fish that you hunt everyday.
@@StuninRub please point out the specific fish that are about to go bad, and the indicators that tell you they are about to go bad
@@JohnDoe-gq9hp The eyes. Fresh fish do not have cloudy eyes. Every single fish here has cloudy eyes. Go ask your fish monger if you don't believe me.
The fact that his dad also cooks with him and that its a generational art is so incredible. You dont see much of that in the world anymore so its really cool to see that live on
Lol you never see that in American familys.
@@Benjamin-zp5ds yea you do? Traditional american cooking 100% gets passed down its one of the only arts and places where that still happens.
It's a.. Family restaurant? Whats so new?
That exists everywhere lol

I actually really like this dude, tells you how long to salt the fish and lets you in on some techniques, was really happy he said what type of vinegar he used for the rice.

$4,800 gross minus labor, overhead and all the fish...I wonder what the profit is every night.
@@The_Savage_Wombat Probably $48
After watching the entire episode I still think $300 is outrageous
How does he make a profit?
Watching this, you really get a deep sense that this chef puts a lot of love and attention to detail into his restaurant. Looks delicious.

If I could afford it I would be front of line. Wow, lovely. 🙏🙏👍👍
Even when you can afford it, it can be quite difficult to actually get a seat in any place that is this level of quality.
I want to go here for my birthday one year! I love his personality and he makes it feel like he wouldn’t judge a newbie ❤
you really have to love this job to be able to do it. Just the knowledge about fish and the preparation technique is huge.
