this chief is very generous with the skill & knowledge. he must have a big heart. even my japanese chief friends wouldn't share the knowledge of cutting details of parts with me. the part of the fish makes a big different when you cook it n place in your mouth. Domo arigato.
What were the dishes you said you could make with the tuna you scraped off of the skin? I have some thin slices of salmon that were left over from when I made sashimi the other day and I want to make something from them. Nice tuna cutting skills btw.
Here in Downtown Los Angeles, specifically in Little Tokyo, there are a couple of small markets that sell sashimi - grade tuna. But what I just saw in this clip, the markets have nothiing this fresh. It must be so tender, that the consistency is almost like tofu. When I buy a small slab of sasimi tuna, I like to put wasabi and soy sauce on it. If I ever go to Japan and do that, I think I will be frowned upon, big time.
I don't see too many scars on this chef's hands. Also for as long as the vid has lasted, I have not seen him getting cut a single time. The fact that with your skills you would gamble and risk injuries if holding a knife like that does not mean that somebody else cannot master this skill, greatly reducing the risk and gaining some advantages over the "safe" methods. Better safe than sorry, but practice makes perfect. Keep your mind open, take care
I hold my knife and cut exactly the same way. A chef I worked with for a year hated my technique, it bothered him so much that I put my finger down the spine of the knife for extra control : )
I fillet a dozen fresh water fishes at a time, inspecting for both fatty content and parasites.. I am not sure if you understand the uncooked principle of enzyme saturation of that which we eat but.... half of the year we are not ice locked here and I welcome you and your techniques.
Finger along the spine grants more pressure but on most knives gripping it with your index and thumb above the handle on the base of the blade should grant more control than any other grip.
TIL how big tuna could be. Holy shit. I don't go near fish, but I've started becoming braver with sushi. I like spicy tuna rolls. I.. god damn. That is huge.
KittyOnTheNet Them suckers get bigger. Check out some videos of people catching the larger tuna that are used for making sushi. Them things are CRAZY big.
not sharp enough.....in sushi making its crucial for your knife to be so sharp the meat wont tear when you cut into it. but if you are to look at the video u can see he has to saw the knife back and forth there for tearing the flesh during the process.
PURPLELIou LOL It's all about good judgment when to slice in one motion or to saw I Saw a lot when cutting some part of the tuna to make clean cut it doesn't tear it up.
I want to be a cook when i am out of school and its nice to see someone else work always fascinating
Disregard the negative comments. I am impressed, especially with the reverse "chopping" and spooning technique. Nothing wasted. Excellent job.
this chief is very generous with the skill & knowledge.

Domo arigato.
Glad you were inspired!
That looks delicious ^w^
I'd gladly exchange parts of my anatomy for that loin. Holy crap that looks incredible. Thank you for show. It's greatly appreciated.
This looks so satisfying.
that is a great knife, and in the hands of an expert looks even cooler. great video.
Look at those lovely clean cuts.
@relatedgiraffe you could make hand rolls with spiring onions and any type maki
Nice skills Chef! What brand gyuto are you using? Thanks.
@kizuna kitchen.... is albacore tuna good for sushi as well ? liked you video.. i love sushi and peanut butter cups !
Gawd, looks like cutting butter. Looks so smooth and yummy.
that knife is a dream of every chef!!!
Just look at that color. Fresh!

I really enjoyed the video. Congrats. Which knife is using?
I just want to NOM the shit out of that slab.
Same here
I'd just rip out a chunk of the whole piece with my teeth.

Oh my god, that is amazing stuff. And that knife ...
Great video !!!! thanks !
I totally agree with you Michael Hill, holding the knife your way is call the control grip. That means you are in total control of the knife.
Very informative. Thank you!
man this is neat!
Man that is some good looking Tuna
That knife slid right through like butter
Why do I torture myself with these videos!
omg i want that knife where did you guys buy it

Man that tuna looks so dam good
if this doesnt make you drool something wrong witchu
Gyuto u use ?
Is this tuna prepared in some way or is it totally raw? Looks great, as every fish cut in sushi pieces does ^_^
that knife cuts through the tuna like butterrr
Not really. He is sawing with it. So the knife is to dull.
Also the edges of his cuts are very unpleasant looking.
Thank u cheff
これはおいしそうですよ！！！
I wanna keep my room cold enough where I can use that as a pillow.
hella sharp knife bro
Parabéns Chef !.. Que Peixe é esse ? Apresentação Excelente !
Atum...
dat sharp knife!!

PJ,
i feel like getting that huge tuna piece and make a big bite out of it :D yum!
what were to names of the dishes he was mentioning for all the cutts? the only one i was able to make out was sashimi. thanks!
Ben Dover Onigiri and sashimi.
+Kidiu He said nigiri.
Okay, thanks!
I now have an urge to do everything in life with extreme precision and perfection ._.

Very interesting, I enjoyed watching.
All I can say is: YUMMY!
Does fresh tuna normally look that rough/dry?
M3RCxNationHQ That's not dry at all, all tuna has that dull translucent look.
How do you intend to get such a large chunk of salmon?
I wonder what knife He is using? looks very good . the whole process . Domo arigato !
Kniteknite23A It looks like a Masahiro gyuto to me, maybe a Masamoto or a Saito, couldn't tell whitout looking at the logo haha
I swear I wouldn't even bother cutting it up I just want to take the whole thing and eat it like that.
Real Itamae would clean his knife after every cut.
YES!! TWO FINGER SIZE!
two fingasize! this is gotta be Mr. Miyagi of Sushi
น่าทานมากๆครับ@!!
wow what a nice piece of tuna, I'm hungry now
its like cutting butter...what a good tuna
Nice but please whip of your knife more. A dirty knife is not the way we work. Love your videos
I always whip of my knife, whipping my knife is so cool!
Dat precision
my mouth is watering as i watch this
this made me very hungry!
thank you chief。
mmmmm i see i like the end when he uses the spoon on the skin never seen that but its good for making a nice tartar
Master !!!!!!!
i always wanted to learn how to butcher a whole tuna loin!
Wonder how much that initial chunk of tuna cost
Yes. I am a trained cook, and that is the proper way to hold any knife in the kitchen.
I hold my knife and cut exactly the same way. A chef I worked with for a year hated my technique, it bothered him so much that I put my finger down the spine of the knife for extra control : )
+J Glad you need absolute control when making sashimi, its a great technique for fish!

Wow

the art will die out with the fish
twofingasize
Break out the wasabi and soy sauce, I'm getting hungry.
do you think they would get mad if I took a big bite out of the chunk of tuna in the beginning? It's so tempting
