"tomorrow, I will do my best again.". Damn man, I need this kind of motivation
Sushiiiiii ua-cam.com/video/BC2NYX6k6Wo/v-deo.html

become japanese
Do your best now with all you got so you don't have to do it again tomorrow... That should be the motivation... Not working every damn day for the rest of your life

You can see he has a TON of respect for his customers. When they left, he even went out onto the sidewalk sand bowed to them one last time. Mad Respect
That's the thing about Japanese people, they are so respectful and kind.
I can tell you, after being in japan 6 times, that its pretty standard for people who work in expensive shops to follow you to the door and bow as you leave after making a purchase. The first time it happened to me I had just brought a bracelet for a friend and I was shocked when the lady who was helping me followed me outside on the street and bowed to me. For them, it's just normal customer service skills :)
😁😁
Mad respect
Ye they are respectful and kind but do you know how much this dinner costs 😱😥
he says, "our food" ... "our guests" ... he treats his team so well, they are like a family. so much care and dedication. i would love to eat there if i ever get to NY!
as you can imagine its on the expensive side..... $400 usd per person.... i could never go hahaha
When you pay his prices you’d want to be treated decently
You will never get to NYC

@@papayathecat589 well it’s like having a personal chef so I think it’s worth it
One of the many things that I find so incredibly charming about the Japanese people and culture is this 8:38 kind of bowing when you leave, even when the person being bowed to cannot see it, it is still done. On my final day in Japan I got onto a bus departing immediately outside my hotel and three of the staff waited and bowed as my bus departed....I will never forget the feeling
I think your feeling is very nice.
Proud of it as Japanese.
The Japanese generally act this way: polite. Especially if they are in a business such as a hotel. Even if they have an end goal - act well and show a good face for the hotel - it's still nice I guess.
Japanese's main characteristic is "respect". Respect for their job, respect for their clients , respect for their environment.
I kinda feel ashamed that I was never this disciplined, organized, and devoted to anything I did. Mad respect to this chef.
I kinda feel the same
You can start right now, think on that

@@lewishasdied what?
"Tomorrow, I will do my best again."
Wow..
good mind..!
No.
I think tomorrow I'll be lazy by now. But I will try to develop and streamline the method, because that is how new things are found and new capabilities are developed.
At least when it's not about tradition ...
I need a translation of that in japanese to write it on my wall
Legend
Tomorrow? I mean he's already in "Tomorrow". 1:30 AM, it's already pass 12
i actually feel touched by this man. He is so kind and hardworking, he is truly an inspiration to be hardworking and to be happy with the littlest things. He always tries his best, and always strives to be better. The guy really warmed my heart, and i hope he's doing fine in this pandemic.
yeah the little things like making $5000 for serving up some raw fish and rice
@@xxxViceroyxxx To some people, maybe that's worth it. I'm currently saving up for a trip here for my husband and I for our anniversary when he returns from deployment. Both of us are very avid Sushi enthusiasts. Could I get more "mileage" out of that money if I put it elsewhere? More than likely, yes. But my husband and I have a saying when it comes to indulging the finer things once in a while. Life is short, and no matter how much money you make, you can't take it with you. We have no kids, no desire for kids, and our only focus is our mutual happiness.
To me, taking my husband to such a place, in his home state, for an anniversary dinner, and seeing the look on his face throughout, will be worth every penny.
@@zachzabel-grell3340 THIS IS SO WELL SAID
@@zachzabel-grell3340 aw, that's so sweet :)
I really like how he, himself, the owner, makes the menus and changes them up every day. This shows the dedication that he has to his customer's experience and for the future of his restaurant.
Japanese chefs usually spend their whole lives dedicating themselves to their craft. it's very amazing
It's also amazing that he COULD have more customers and make more money, even have less working hours and more staff and have a more relaxing schedule, but instead he insists of having quality over quantity, happy few customers and be there for all of it.
That's p typical for high-cost dining. The French Laundry changes menus daily just depending on what they can get ahold of, the time of year, what the chef feels like making, etc.
@@zy5992 It has nothing to do with him being japanese, it's a reality of high-class joints like that.
@@ArcaneTricksterRS You've fallen for the trick, it seems. Places like that only need to cover such a small amount because they charge so much. You can tell because corkage is like $130 and $200 for a Magnum. That's not a bad thing, mind you, but it probably has little to do with things like having more staff (he has a lot from what can be seen in the video if his dining room only seats 8) and he does cut out a pretty solid chunk of 3 hours between his lunch and dinner rushes, but that's not really the point.
He's definitely not hurting for money in this arrangement, is what I'm getting at, it just seems that way because the video wants it to look like this is some great passion project (which he certainly seems that way and I'm not going to say it isn't) but in reality he's just running a very high-end version of what other people are doing for much less, because he has the means and training to do so.
What a respectable man. The way he bows for his customers even though they dont even see it just out of principle. Truly someone that aspires people to improve as a human.
I agree, you are so right to notice that simple but most important part of the video.
This is a common sight in privately owned restaurants in Japan.
Any restaurant the size of an izakaya will do it for you.
Chain restaurants don't do it so much, though.
Not to rain on your parade but maybe he just did that for the camera. He still seems like a dedicated sushi-man but who doesn't wanna look good & humble on tv
@@Musa-cf3yl He probably does it off camera too. He puts a lot of effort into a small number of customers at a time, and bowing as guests leave is already a common thing in Japan.
You mean inspires?
You know he’s good when he talks with the fish
ahhahaha
XD
might have better luck with them talking back if.........
they were still alive ?
With his week old fish from Japan, yuck. Fresh catch of the day otherwise I can get sushi anywhere.
@@aortenzio 🤦♂️ ok smartass
I love his ideology in life, do your best today, understand what you could have done better, then be better the next day. No wonder he is a master craftsman in the art of sushi. Respect.
It would be an honor to sit and eat at Sushi Noz. We can see the care and respect Chef Nozomu has with the food, the details, the customers and towards his team. The way he says "our food", "our restaurant" shows the amount of respect he has towards his team and customers. Because without his staff or his customers, there would be no Sushi Noz.
This is in my bucket list: visit Sushi Noz and thank, personally, Chef Nozomu!
Not for me cousin, $130 corkage fee tells you all that you need to know, lol.
The way he bow down at his last customer is everything you need to know how serious japanese value customer service.. its no joke to them
If a knife must be treated like an extension of your body...
Then a customer must be treated as an extension of your own heart.
When I was leaving Tokyo a few months ago, the ground crew at the airport bowed to our plane as it left the gate. Bowing is a really important thing to them
That's totally true. When I visited Tokyo once I felt like a king the whole time. Everybody bows and treats you with such an incredible amount of respect even though they don't know you at all. Even the taxi driver opened the car door for every single passenger an bowed for everyone. I live in Germany and can say its a hell of a difference over here.
@@delamar6199 arent german people kind?
@@yknowhazy Not generally to be honest. South Germans usually are very open and friendly compared to the rest. But we all are surely not exceptional respectful to people we don't know. For germans you have to earn your respect first but once earned, you will receive respect without any hesitation and with a lot of free strikes. On the other side, in Japan once you loose respect you never earn it back....
When he bowed down to the people who weren't even looked at him.
I felt that😔🤚
Selp he actually said " arigatou gozaimasu " so it heared
My nose feels spicy 😭
I can't tell if your being ironic or not
It's just proper ethics in japan
and after they played Claire de Lune like- I felt that even more 😔
He's not just a chef, this is a master craftsman at his absolute best. Purposeful, driven, dedicated...always improving and striving for perfection. The Japanese culture itself is just very beautiful
This was very impressive, the bow for his customers after serving them showed his dedication. This man is an inspiration to do my best whatever I do, not just for me but also for others.
I was thinking: "man, how can he do all that be ok with not having any free time?" But then I realized, if you are doing something you truly love, you dont need free time, because that is the time you feel most free.
Life advice right here.
It pays the bills doesn't it?
@@jazzycat1390 Sir this was wholesome life advice, if you love your job, your job can be considered a hobby for free time.
@@Skyyette ok
@@Skyyette the opposite: If you work with something you like, is only a matter of time for you hating it.
I really do hope he’s doing well during this pandemic.
I worried about that too.
well, I think he only caters like 2-4 at a time, so I guess he's still doing the same

Just watch Isekai Izakawa Nobu. It’s like this clip but 12 episodes of it
The respect this chef has for the art is beautiful. I one day hope to find his energy and dedication for my own path.
I had watched this years back; and at this time I watched it again. No words to say. Everything he said, how the people behind this video worked hard to deliver a wonderful look at Japanese culture and a sushi master's story can be realized in silence. I mean, when someone is silent after being moved by something, it is beyond excellence.
8:41 seeing that scene where he bows at the customers but they dont look back made me cry
makes me realize how much manners he was taught in japan but the rest of the world(including me) dont know how to properly ask or thank people that are responsible
After watchin this again when school just gives a bunch of homework, this just makes me feel motivated to complete all of it

I just looked at the website, it costs $300 and a bottle of champagne or wine is $175. while the price is very high i can honestly say after watching this video i would pay every penny of that for this level of service, this man clearly works incredibly hard and deserves every single penny he makes. Respect to you chef noz.
Not expensive at all for what you get
I would have a couple of fixes on my house for that price...
Mmm...
To each his own, what you do with your money, is your business.
worth every damn cent and i'm far from being loaded, you just can't put a price on perfection.
I was wondering how they made any money with so few customers
Its about 60k monthly what he pulls in. Deduct the cost of flying in fish daily and highly qualified staff and the rent on the property. I think he makes enough to be comfortable but it isnt a fat cow. In my opinion worth the money he asks because every facet is of the highest quality. Eat and be treated like a king.
Wow! I would love to work for a person like this.
He takes so much pride in what he does and actually cares about his staff and customers.
His dedication and passion is very inspiring almost brought tears to my eyes. He is very dedicated. God bless him.

I personally do not eat any seafood,
but as a personal "home chef," and prior u.s. navy cook, I really appreciate his attention to detail, order, and every aspect of the customers' dining experience. And I really love that knife collection! I hope you stay in business for a long time, my friend! Keep up the great work.
its videos like this that really make me want to pursue my dream of opening up a bakery seeing how happy they are with their business and the way the customers smile too
At the beginning I was like « he wakes up at 8:30 am it’s a chill job lmao » and then « I get home around 2am » okay sry dude...
The time you wake up doesn't reflect the difficulty of your work. Waking up at 5am to go work at a fast food restaurant is much more chill than waking up at 9am to do something like this.
That was my exact reaction!! He has 0 free time in his life, literally. Only 1 hours in the morning while he prepares
Alex Creamer ikr
@@sadf8ce he doesnt work 7 days a weak tho

Selfproclaimedgod he was being filmed though
Selfproclaimedgod why would they even look at him? That’s the point
@@giantblob7075 not only Japanese, but also some families in Asia teach their kids to always bow to your guests so they feel welcome and have a feeling they will come back again, just like a friend coming over
There is such wisdom and sincerity in this man, it's almost sacred how centered and intentional he is
I never saw of making a sushi and serving at the same time and didn't expect that a sushi master's life can be this tough and
tight scheduled, It is a pleasure on having these kinds of hard working people who finds their happiness in others
I’m a high school student in japan who’s learning English.
I’m glad that most people say Japanese culture is great and respectful.
Thank you
Your English is already better than some who are native to it! Keep up the hard work 😊
Hello ...-san (sorry I can't read your name), it's very nice to see a young Japanese like you loves learning English. Keep up the good work!

"I don't think my job has an end goal. Words like finished or complete don't exist. We do our best with today's menu and entertain our guests. That's all for today." This quote really struck a chord with me. I feel like I'm constantly fighting to figure out what my goal in life is or should be.... But there is no end goal of life. You do your best with today's menu and entertain your guests. Then you clean yourself up, and get ready to do it again the next day.
I respect the fact you managed to say all of that and not edit it once
K
lol japanese doesn't have the word finished? that must be fucking annoying lol
I think I'm actually gonna cry.
Luke Lemke life isn’t about the goal, it’s about the journey my friend.

I think its sad.
@@FashionGeek_Chi Why should you? For him to have so much passion for his craft, if feeling that way is what he needs to get there, they you should feel happy for him. He's obviously intelligent enough to do what he wants in his life, away from moral obligation, if he didn't want to do this, he wouldn't.
he cares more about the journey of life than the destination.
I care more about my destination than the journey.
@@FashionGeek_Chi It's thought like that that leads to a life of endless searching, it always feels nice having endings, but some things don't end nor need to. The learning and enlightenment that comes with the journey is what makes the finish line seem less important, but how strong you've gotten from the start
@jibran chusnein maybe he wants to live like that. Filling his time doing with what he wants to do!
"Seeing the customer smile after they eat my handmade sushi, it's the best feeling in the world." Now that's very heart melting
that's what every cook chef wants to see or hear from the people they serve
Truth Wise thats where your WRONG! So many Cooks dont give a fuck and have huge Ego’s... Noz says he tries his best EVERY DAY AND STIIILLL at the end of every day talks w staff on how they could have done better... smh you will learn that when you get more Wisdom
Boring. no one really gives a shit in the us.
yeah i truly melts when he smiled back like wow this man = the best chef hands down
And this is why he works from 9am-1am; because he loves that feeling. He lives for that feeling. He doesn't even make an obscene amount of money doing this- he's probably comfortable, but I doubt he's a major millionaire. That doesn't matter to him, he chooses to only serve 8 at a time because he believes that he can only make 8 customers smile like that at once. He could make a huge amount of money if he just said "screw it" and opened the restaurant to dozens of people at a time.
Brilliant! This is pure love and respect to what he is preparing and doing.
This guy is truly a master at his craft. He cares so deeply about his staff, his customers, the quality of his food, and the overall experience he delivers to his customers on a daily basis. It must be hard but I’m glad he gets so much fulfillment out of it. It would be a privilege to eat at his restaurant!

That's why people admire "Made in Japan and Made in Germany"

Ur not wrong but how did Germany get involved in this?
@@cedarpointfanboy7317 Because it's the same principle; people assume both Japanese and German things are of good quality. I think those people share some traits...this search for perfection maybe?
Made in germany lost its strength, nowdays you can find many "made in germany" trashes, even VagGroup sucks
@@cedarpointfanboy7317 I don't really know about German products recently but as far as I know, German has a certain policy to educate and raise specialized experts in any industry called Meister, which makes themselves more professional in their area. And I'm a Korean, at least our country people tend to still believe products made in German are comparatively good like cars, and any handmade products. But surely this is very personal opinion and I don't know about other country's perspective toward German products.
Nothing like that german steel.
im a chef myself i can confirm that this gentleman is a experienced chef and yes he worked for 20 years i can see how fast he makes sushi..
getting to know that soo much amount of work goes into sushi making, it increased my respect to another level...it was filmed and edited really well..enjoyed it thoroughly...wow

smh...you do realize there's a camera and he probably knows he's being recorded right?
@@Felix-rc4wv He would have done the same thing even without a camera, it's pretty usual for people to bow to their customers until they turn the corner. I always look back and tell them to go back inside :P This website explains it pretty well: www.tsunagujapan.com/7-mysterious-japanese-customs/
@EugeneDaVanquisher i don't , how do you know it's for the camera?
@@PureElderflower I felt the same way, that he would do this (bow) to his departing customers as a sign of respect and a thank you as his normal routine. His work passion and manners are exemplary.

Is this guy a sushi master or a wisdom teacher? Man, I'm inspired to do my best everytime now.
it isn't wisdom, rather, aimless motivation. i don't know what sushi-making is to him, what he desires in life, and whether the smiles of his customers are enough to soothe him from the understanding that his life has ended. however, it is rather sad, honestly. he's accepted it all, and cares no longer.

@@modgoviya99 i only desire to speak the closest thing i have with the truth.
there is flow. we can rule out his dedication to sushi as a passion rather than as a succumbing-to type of deal. it's unfair of me to say anything what is wisdom and what isn't, simply because it's gatekeeping and since there isn't really a measure to these types of things, and so what i say is but my opinion on the matter. to elaborate, it doesnt seem wisdom because there isn't much wisdom. when he says that "that's all for today, it's repetition." and "I want to do my best for the people who support me." he seems dejected." the most wisdom *i believe* there is is when he says "I have no choice but to be successful for everyone who has helped me". notice the "I have no choice". i'm not one to judge him, nor to ground my words in objective essence, but i very much feel that he has given up on life with this endeavor of his. that sushi is all that he will do until he is capable of doing it no more. it just feels sad, y'know? but who am i to speak of that. you're not wrong, anyway.
@America First ooof that was really unnecessary
@@mahmoudayman5397 Man I honestly think you're going in too deep here. He finds his peace in sushi - his wisdom comes from the respect and discipline he has for his craft & he seems completely content with his life in his world. To call this guys passion aimless motivation is not only distastefully rude but I actually find it quite shocking that you managed to draw that kind of deduction from the footage here... If one could even call it a deduction anyway.

I took a cab in Tokyo. The driver came in to work clean shaven, clean buttoned shirt tucked in pants - nothing fancy, just respectable. The taxi was clean, spotless, you could literally eat of the floor, and he never smoked, ate or drank in it, nor allow passengers to. And at the taxi station waiting for customers he would clean the taxi with a long dust feather.
Anything you do, strive for perfection - a lesson many find it hard to implement, myself included. I took a lot from spending 30 minutes with a taxi driver from half a world away.
Thanks for your comment
Whatever youre good at theres always an asian better than you
Wise words
Naw, it's the Germans who are the kings of this. They went 120% in for being the meanest, most brutal totalitarian motherfuckers around, gave it all trying to exterminate entire ethnic populations, AND then they threw themselves 120% into apologizing and self-flagellating about it. For decades. Now, that's commitment. Japan, on the other hand, totally half-assed the latter part. Bet they half-ass a lot of other things too.
@@valarinan7723 dont change the subject
The real reason he is bald is because he made 100 nigiri, 100 maki, 100 sashimi, and 10 hours of ordering fish. EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Saitama fans confirmed. .
I was looking for this comment, thank you.
like one punch man ... lol
ONE PUNCH!!!!!!!

こういう職人さんの１日密着はたまらなく好きだ
Not only respect, he is a master at his craft. This is no ordinary chef, the way he cuts into thin slices and micro proportions, oh wow .. the expertise really pays off through the years.
His gratitude really resonated with me when he said he has no choice but be successful for everyone who helped him. Many successful people forget those who have helped them along the way. Not only does he remember those who helped him, but he consciously honors them every day by doing his best. Not only that, he has no end goal, he runs his restaurant for it's own sake and finds happiness and fulfillment in that alone. This documentary is beautiful.
It's essentially the beauty of the Sisyphean myth. Seeing the customers smile is reaching the top of the hill. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Well said. I agree 100%.
Yay capitalism’s unyielding life lessons!
In 10 minutes I went from not knowing this guy whatsoever to respecting every facet of his character...
Leen B ok, judgmental edgelord.
@Leen B Have to agree. Cant judge or in this case "respect every facet of his character" based on a 10 minute video that is basically an advertisement for his restaurant.
do you know that piano song at the end
He keeps on repeating his work everyday trying to make it better everytime. It is really inspiring to see how he keeps it going without getting bored.
I am deeply impressed by this talented man and his attention to detail. He and his co-workers don't make sushi, they make magic
Update for Covid: according to Google they still do business, just delivery, and their hours are 6:00pm-11:30pm. Their facebook page is still active as well, displaying their menu options.
I got scared, I was about to search and was afraid if they went out of business
Oh wow thank you for this. I was wondering how their business is through out the vid
ate there mid july in person, they are doing well
@@jbair16 You saw him?
A new update pls, now that COVID restricted are relaxed hope they stays in buisness
The amount of respect Japanese people have is absolutely unbelievable, and its not just in front of people, but behind them as well.
It's conformity most of the time but I agree that they are more respectful than other nations.
@Bored Orange Yes but better at everything
Respect behind someone sounds wrong though
@@Musa-cf3yl How? Its integrity cause even though they aren't looking, he still bows as a sign of thank you for coming to his restaurant and accepting his service.
@@MementoMoriGrizzly Canada be like... sorry for replying, I apologize for my awful behaviour, I shall repent for my sins, I am so very sorry.
I lived in Okinawa Japan for three years, experienced their love for their culture, traditions, and respect. I wish the whole world can learn from them. The cleanest and safest place I have ever lived in.
I’m glad I watched this , he has such passion for making sushi it’s beautiful to watch 🍣❤️
A dinner costs 325$ per person, a beverage pairing costs another 175$. Just in case you were wondering.
I laughed
Considered cheap for the quality and dedication. I've been to restaurants way more expensive with lesser quality dinner.
@@Nearhhh I’m guessing it would taste amazing but it’s a mystery wether you will go home feeling like you ate enough
Noah Shirai i dont think ur really paying for the food per say it’s more the experience ? i think it’s worth it n id like to have a meal there one day
@@waadwaleed5647 considering it’s from 6:00 to 11:30 there’s no way you wouldn’t be satisfied
"I've been making sushi for 20 years"
Looks like 20
*this ain't right*
They start in the womb
Adrian Ruvalcaba 😂
The reward of pure dedication and humility = Immortality.
BLUEBERRY BOO they usually become apprentice at very young age so he is not old
"Asians"
I think that he didn’t also “want” to be bald and skinheaded. It’s just that he’s so passionate that he doesn’t want any hair to fall from his craft. Such dedication.
nah, that's not it. dude trained so hard all his hair fell off. such mastery.
@@neilv3836 hahahahahahahaha omg
Imagine if every restaurant owner was like this
Gordon Ramsay's shows wouldn't exist
And you wouldnt eat there...
@@rushilkapoor7246 it would probably exit but the only thing he would say is...
IT'S FOCKING RAWWW!!
There would be more restaurants?
Cant
GLAD TO SEE ONE-PUNCH MAN DOING WELL AFTER RETIRING FROM BEING A SUPERHERO
lmao
Ah.. man of culture
Hat Red lol
one cut man
Olek V. im proud of this weeb community
I have so much respect for ppl who have discipline & respect & passion for their craft. Their love for it makes you love it as well 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you for showing us how to make things with love and dedication, the way he does things is just beautiful.
So my man's gets 5 hours sleep and has no free time ever? What
Yeah that cant be healthy. Respect the dedication though.
I’m pretty sure he has managers and other trusted employees. Dedication is one thing, relaxing is another.
@@qwertyuiop1854 maybe, maybe not
Some people who own family restoraubts and hotels usually work 7 days a week for most of the year . My old boss used to work till about 1 or sometimes even like 3 am if they had a wedding etc.. and he would always be the first to be in the kitchen and meeting customers i dont know how he did it . The hotel had been in the family for 5 generations i think so the preassure is immense . These japanese chefs consider what they do an artform and a way of life , quite amasing really
@@orenJF still a bit weird XD
He has so much pride in what he does. The way he carefully cuts and prepares the fish. Seeing a chef who cares so much about what they do brings a tear to my eye. A world full of fast paced nonsense and its not even about this. Just how he does it, take his time and how humble he is is just awesome.
Jose Rodriguez same! I feel humbled just watching him.
Sushiiiiii ua-cam.com/video/BC2NYX6k6Wo/v-deo.html
All I wanted to do was see sushi and I ended up shedding a tear and learning a lot from this video
What is an inspirational guy. Magnificent epic that’s sorely lacking these days. I do hope he still doing well
His smile just brightened my soul 😭❤️
I remember my father telling me something when I was young. That a man who finds freedom and beauty in feeding people, is the best of all men. Today I understand what he means.
this guy inspires me to work harder... my deepest respect. His work is a piece of art.
Merthalophor 100% True 🙄
Actually
same~! dude is on point for everything he does.
He bowed to the customers as they walked away. You don't get more respectful than that. You can see why he's successful. He actually cares.
It’s interesting how he’s incorporated just a few aspects of American culture into his restaurant, while staying very authentic and traditional overall.
Like his analogy about pizza, which NYC considers an culinary art form in itself, and how he sees the value in taking breaks-a very American thing which we consider healthy, but not a very Japanese thing. As well as how he clearly respects his crew and treats them like members of a cohesive team. In Japanese kitchens there’s usually a hierarchy of respect that can be extremely strict.
He’s achieved a beautiful balance between two very different cultures. It’s easy to see why he’s achieved so much success at a relatively young age.
Damn you’re really paying for quality when you eat in this restaurant. Many restaurants justify their prices by incorporating random ridiculously expensive ingredients like gold flakes in their food. Here all you see is a near perfect work ethic, hard work, and dedication to perfecting their craft.
@@luluah1198 art doesn't have a price. It can be whatever the artist believes to be. If your "common sense" doesn't rationalize the high price, then don't eat it.
@@luluah1198 actually the quality of that meal completely justifies the price, i went to sushi noz a couple of months ago and it was on par with the finest sushi and fish i have had at michelin star sushi restaurants i have been to in japan. It was completely worth having that same kind of experience here in america as i did in japan with just as quality product.
@@luluah1198 he dedicates 18hours of his life for that night's 16 customers every single day using techniques he honed from 20years of experience and you don't expect to be paying for a heck of an experience and good meal?
It is only worth it if you have the money to spend. This kind of restaurant is about experiences and flavors. It doesn't make you full. That is all high class restaurants are about. If you want a place to fill you up with decent flavor and price then there is many other places. This restaurant is for someone who can afford.
You're paying for the experience of it, not just the food. Though, having fresh food flown in from Japan isn't exactly cheap. It's $300 for the full omakase at the counter, and there is another tasting room where the cost is $175, but that's for the sushi only, not including all the other dishes you get with the omakase. It's about par for the course in a Michelin starred omakase restaurant in NYC. These kind of meals are often a once a year event for people who love it enough to justify it. Some people want a weekend getaway for two at that price, some people are content with a mind bending dinner of the highest quality. Even people who could afford to eat there regularly don't, same with the most extreme example of Masa NYC, that's $450 a person, but even extremely wealthy fans don't eat that meal on a normal basis, kills the entire experience. The only way to get better omakase involves a plane ticket to Japan and a cost just about as high. If you're just craving sushi, there are plenty of affordable options. I can get 15 pieces of sushi, 10 sashimi, soup, and wine for $50 a person here, and I'm sure there will be conveyor belt sushi priced at a dollar or two sooner or later. It's pleasure, not sustenance.
I feel like this is what we miss in the western culture. This kind of passion, attention and love for the art. We really need to look at other cultures and learn from it.
Xaxa xa that’s kinda true. Many historians expect the western culture to be “overthrown” by other cultures
Uncreative Fun yeah of course, but then it has to do with the individual. This is just in their culture.
I'm not meaning to be provocative or anything this is a genuine question but when you say western culture is expected to be "overthrown" by other cultures, what exactly *is* Western culture? Having grown up and lived in Scotland my whole life I still don't really know how to describe it. To me Western culture is just drinking lots of alcohol especially in the UK. Apart from that I don't really know how else to describe western culture. Every other culture I can think of clothes, celebrations, food, togetherness etc that describes that culture but I just can't seem to do that with western culture.
Unknown well every culture has alot of aspects. For example how we treat each other, and how we communicate. So it’s difficult to say what western culture really is, because it consists of alot of things.
@@force311999 Maybe in the US. But here in the UK none of that happens even in the parts of the UK where there is hardly any immigrants.
This was really beautiful. It felt and read like a well written film. Thank you!
There’s so much love and good vibes in this video it s amazing thanks for this
This man honestly made me cry , he has so much respect for his team and customers as well as passion. I just love this . I wish to be as dedicated and passionate about my work like him.
This is genuine commitment… I do not have better words than these, as Chef Noz is more than thorough :)
nah bro. I think u be crying cuz of the music

@@Voornaz Yeh, imagine feeling empathy towards a guy who has to sleep at 2 am just to wake up at 8:30 am the next morning to continue the whole day's work while Americans get half the work time and yet still complain about being tired and depressed. Just imagine.
