Inside Japan’s Only All-Female Sushi House
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2017
- In Japanese society, women are not traditionally trained to become sushi masters. Myths persist that women’s hands are too warm for raw fish, their makeup will block their sense of smell and their menstrual cycles affect their sense of taste. Nadeshiko Sushi is challenging all of that with Japan’s first and only all-female sushi restaurant in Tokyo. There, seven women prove it doesn’t take a man to make a mean sushi plate.

Funny thing is as an Asian who has been eating a lot of sushi for decades, I've never actually seen a female sushi chefs before. I never realized it until watching this vid. Certainly interesting perspective.
JoJo Ma ya same here I didn't realized till now.. one day the Girls will take over.. this is just the beginning.
Jannah perkins Take over? Nope they will join us not kick us out. And thats how it should be :P
dwarfie24 lol true joint sounds good too.
same with 🍕 never met a female one
It's shocking the kind of things we don't notice until it's pointed out to us. There's a lot we just take for granted. So when every sushi chef we see is male, it doesn't really register until someone points out how rare a female sushi chef is.
Don't understand the amount of dislikes the video received. Keep in mind this takes place in Japan, where women are sometimes looked down way more often than the U.S. Nice to see changes in Japan.
DindonPoo
> 61 dislikes
> doesn't understand why there are "so much" dislikes
Is this your first day on UA-cam?
+Gio Sarabia This comment was back in January 4, so of course the like to dislike ratio had change.
DindonPoo I'm not talking about the ratio. I'm talking about the amount of dislikes there are. Even if I was talking about the ratio, it would still be low
Gio Sarabia I don't knooowwww, but when I saw this video few weeks ago, the dislikes were a lot compared to the likes. I get your point, 61 dislikes really isn't a lot, but my comment was talking about the ratio.
Gio Sarabia I suppose there was a better way to say that rather than "a lot of dislikes", but ty for pointing that out.
yeah, in pretty much every other culture, women are stereotyped to be able to cook pretty much everything
YLL I guess that is true. How tf did that happen
sladikk Honestly, I'm not even sure. I think it's just something that started a long long time ago and has somehow been ingrained in culture since then.
sladikk it is probably because some of them can cook pretty much everything
I guess because men were seen as the working horses for their family while the women were seen as the caretakers for their family.
(I am sure someone will be offended by the way I wrote that so let's put it so all tumblr doesn't get up in my grill).
Men were seen as providers of economical support for their family while women were seen as providers of affectionate support for their family.
But since in a few decades back, women wanted to be able to join in the economical support department too, which is the norm of today's world.
+Paladin Leeroy Of course, we're talking about historical perspectives here, not our own opinions.
This is so great, and she's correct: you are going in the right direction. I wish her much success.
she more correct then donal trump
noise bleed donald trumpet was never correct
Bri Bri isn't it more sexist to only hire women
@@thechurchoftirejesus1722 It's like people just don't understand, you don't fight racism with more racism, you also don't fight sexism with more sexism. On top of that, I am sure there are feminists who are angry that women are working in a kitchen. So much anger and hate in the world.
@@simoncameron4355 i wont fight for anything that dosent give human society any change on the future what so ever
Isn't it weird that cooking is the woman's job at home, but in restaurants the cooks are so often men?
A lot of you are all trying to compare this restaurant to western standards, saying it's a double standard or perpetuating some stereotype. In case you didn't know, Japan is still very much more conservative than countries in the west, so the idea of women pushing the gender roles in Japan is a very big deal there.
I’m glad you got to stroke your intellectual ego on an over three year old comment, my guy.
I mean, all I got was a notification that someone replied to a old comment. Dunno if that counts as dwelling here, dude.
@kenichi covert he destroyed you dude
Ofc women can be decent sushi chefs too c:
Kiboolt Right !!
Craig Sundaram get rekt plebeian
Kiboolt omg you have NO IDEA about a JAPANESE woman being a chef THAT'S THE WHOLE VIDEO IS ABOUT
No they cant! Get back in the!.. oh...
Kiboolt anyone can c:
At first, I thought the clients had to all be female too! Hahaha
Elizabeth Travels I clicked the vid because I thought so, too!
same here xD
Elizabeth Travels i am to
Same here! I was like, "Now that's interesting!"
Elizabeth Travels me to😂
I think it's a good cause for trying to combat the current gender orientations of Japan.
I do hope that they find more people who are willing to set aside the notion that only men can be professional sushi chefs and maybe partner with professional sushi chefs willing to help them become better at the art of making sushi.
AS AN ASIAN WOMAN, Shout out to this inspiring mind! Admire her bravery and perspective! She is trying not to be so "female dominates", clearly she puts a lot of effort into remaining unbiased and just plain pro-women! KEEP IN MIND THAT IN ASIA this tradition of advocating other women in reality is still not so popular especially among women themselves! So this is more than innovative, it's revolutionary! And consider the obstacles and risks of opening a restaurant like that! She's a true warrior.
Me and my girlfriend gave them a visit when we were in Tokyo this summer. It was a great experience and the food was really good.
Many people said that this restaurant is just sexism fighting sexism. I dont think thats true. They are pretty much the only sushi restaurant with only female members compared to all the other male lead ones and the people there try to show the world that they can make sushi too. If they would hire a male chef what would that accomplish? Oh yeah people would line up in front that guy again, making it impossible for them to achieve their goal. If people were to realize that they can cook just as good as men then they can think about hiring male staff. Women dont want to push themself over men, they just want to show that they are there too, with the same skills and dreams. And if this restaurant gets to that point, then hey, male staff be welcomed.
What rights do men have that women don't? And provide the source of this information.
Japan is a very sexist country...
Mrtheunnameable in most first world countries, it isnt about rights, its about morality. yes, on paper women and men can both vote, get jobs, go to college, etc, but women are still treated poorly by society's warped view of what they should and shouldnt do. for instance, no one would bat an eye at an all male sushi shop, but an all female ANYTHING earns it the title of being the "first and only" of something. the reason for that is because men, as stated in the video, believe women to be eyecandy, or inadequate for jobs they have. which is bs
I don't see anything sexist here. She's trying to prove something, and that is women sushi chef exist. After that point is proven and acknowledged, she might do the normal stuffs after that.
Anyone of you saying this restaurant is sexist, prove me this; have you ever seen a female professional sushi chef in your whole life? If so, can you count it by more than your fingers?
By definition, the restaurant operates in a sexist way. I'm sure all of the chefs there are skilled, but if a male chef who was better than all of them came in, then he would be rejected. That's sexism. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but there's no arguing that point.
"Anyone of you saying this restaurant is sexist, prove me this; have you ever seen a female professional sushi chef in your whole life? If so, can you count it by more than your fingers?"
-I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. How does proving the existence of professional female sushi chefs prove that this restaurant isn't sexist? They're two completely different things. I don't know much about the sushi industry, but looking at the data, there's a good chance sexism is involved. That has nothing to do with this restaurant having a sexist policy, which is an undeniable fact.
I don't care who cooks my food as long as it tastes good
lol same
OMFG, it's 2017 and we still need to hear those craps saying this kind of initiative can be called "sexist". Dudes, how many "Sushiwomen" have you ever heard of? Hope girls keep fighting in this field to have even wider space and recognition.
Sushiwomen sounds like superhero name XD
Ayana Hanashiro sorry but its 2018 😆😆😆
But purposely excluding someone because of gender is the literal definition of sexism, how are they fixing sexism when they’re being sexist themselves?
It's not sexist when they are trying to provide opportunities for women to learn how to make amazing sushi. Men have much more opportunities in Japan to learn how to make proper sushi as compared to women. So it is not sexist but fighting for equality.
AvGeek201 Lol they arent excluding anyone there are plenty of male sushi chefs out there if theyre point is to force gender sterotypes about women to change why would they hire a male sushi chef on staff?
This is a awesome video. It's sending out a very good message. Love it🍣
I'm pretty sure I've seen this video before...
My mom makes the best sushi
I make the best homemade sushi ever but everybody tells me otherwise =)
leyuen cuz it's actually shit,but because it's made by you,your brain tricks you into thinking that it's good
Mike Titz You're just mad because you make the worst sushi! ;0
my mom makes pretty good steak and pork even my friends tell me that when I give them pieces of my food
+EXID's BLINK what the actual fuck
Thanks for sharing!
This isn't sexist because all the other sushi houses are all men only, so having an all woman one is fine.
George A. You're right having an environment that women can do something they love is terrible! I mean who cares that a male could get the job in that field whenever he wants while women's only choice is to work there! It is sexiest! Good job! You did it!
George A. So what you say is, eye for eye tooth for tooth?... Instead of just making it a mix sushi place and open the door to breaking sex barier, better make a women only to FIGHT
Colonel Gayfur No I thought people were saying these women were sexist for having a women's only sushi house. So I was just defending them.
George A. Well... Its kinda sexist if everyone start to do the same... But i guess if they are the only and first, maybe it can then open the door to mix ones, also they should make it mix soon too. Completly closing the door to one of the sex is simply sexist whatever is the sex. Not saying women shouldnt make sushi, but closing the door to men is just as wrong
Colonel Gayfur I think having an all female sushi house will show people women can be chefs, and lead to women starting to work in other sushi houses.
Omg this is amazing!!!
There I'll fitted because their hands are warm ect....?
Lol it's a little known science fact that women tend to have poorer blood circulation than men actually making their hands usually quite cold all the time. Dudes are like furnaces XD
I would love to visit 😍 new place on my bucket list!
love this
I love their outfits! so bright and colorful! Beautiful women making beautiful food! I love it!
Good job they are conquering a field even though it may seem small that will give people in the future better opportunities .
Laffontane Light how about actually fight sexism by letting both genders be whatever job they want in that shop...
Lizzy Dizzy I did thank you. If you would care to stop swearing at me then I could tell you what they could do instead of making it female only. Just to flip the roles a little but not exclude one gender entirely they put the men in the job the women are usually doing. If someone is very desperate for work then they will do it. There you go. Both included but the women can get what they want and they do well according to your other comment. Btw I don't think you are using the word niche quite properly. Looked up a specific definition just to be sure.
atsu kana shut the fuck up and stop telling women what to do. stop trying to fucking shove men everywhere when i guarantee youve never said shit about all male stores. bye.
Kona Tanaka I just said include both. Is it equal if one is gone? No. Simple. Now like I said stop swearing you are making yourself look bad.
i will swear literally as much as i damn well please because im not tryin to impress some ignorant fuck who thinks one instance of women doing things by themselves for other women is equal to a systematic oppression that men have put women through since nearly the dawn of fuckin time
This beautiful and great and I love it omg
!! love live in the bg aaaa
I love this
just a beautiful channel.
awesome!
If I go to Tokyo sometime, I'll definitely visit!
I am so proud!!!
sCREAMING LOOK AT THE LOVE LIVE AD AT 0:34 HHHhh
It's great seeing something so inspiring! Asia is heavily male dominated with woman being expected to stay at home to care for the house and children.
YOU GO GIRL
I'm adding this place to the list of places I want to visit when I go to Japan someday :)
Me and my friends tried sushi in one of our videos before and it tasted very... interesting. I think the fact that's it's so different distracted us from actually being able to enjoy it. We'll definitely have to try some more, but i don't know if I could bring myself to try the fish eggs XD
A pioneer in the correct direction. I love sushi.
the sushi looks so good and now im so hungry
"It is believed that sushi chefs are like performers" and yet in every sushi shop i visit there is always some opaque glass covering the chefs. I dont geddit
0:35 LOVE LIVE!! SUNSHINE!!!!!
0:34 LOVE LIVE SUNSHINE
化粧の臭いプンプンした店内、髪の毛をだらしなく垂らしたままの職人、コスプレ寿司屋ってコンセプトなの？
wtf
日本人は性差別的です
I feel like I'm watching an anime
I'm starving at two in the morning and I'm just watching a bunch of sushi videos
I will support this sushi restaurant💪🏻
She speaks so clearly I actually understand her!
I'm almost done with food stories man. Please do more, I'm begging you
You go girl
They are said to be unfit for being sushi chefs, however I find these women make it such more delicately and with such grace! The nigiri is beautiful!
Awesome.
GOALS
I've never thought of females not being able to be sushi chefs, this is certainly eye opening.
That love live poster at 0:35 omg
Ahhhh, this is so cool! Yum...... I wanna eat there.
Is this a repost?
it is a repost
I love plants🌲🌲 and flowers💐🌷🌹🌹
We ate here last week, and DAMN it was good sushi!
Male and female have different hand temperature? ._.
yuuki alexria No it's just a baised justification from a male sushi chef who is trying to make an excuse for woman not to make sushi
yuuki alexria the hand temperature depends on each person
i have hot hands, and my girlfriend has cold as fu hands, and ir trouble us when doing home made breads and some kinds of delicacies/deserts
Actually women on average do tend to have colder hands because a large percent of women have poor blood circulation compared to men. Or that's what we learned back in school
I know where I'm going to go for my next sushi trip!
0:35 Love live aqours spotted!
私、女性です。女寿司職人応援してあげたいけど、髪の毛のしまつだけはどうにかして欲しい。ピアスも髪飾りも衣装も可愛い。でも、食欲わきません。
this is not the only sushi with all female chefs in Japan! I have seen another documentary about anohter sushi restaurant like this, but kinda fusion style! :)
I thought this was going to be all female chefs and customers! That would be so cool and welcoming :D still what they're doing is so awesome!
I love this woman, trying to go against stereotypes and doing what she loves and believes is right 👏
Now I wanna try the sushi
good for you :D
Yo! KyoAni! Get on this concept! You like drawing foods in your anime, and excellent in "Moe", so why not capitalize on this?
0:36 Love Live Sunshine lol
go girls!!
as long it you happy😊
Yay!!!
I love Japan and Tokyo
i came here for the story behind this restaurant, but the LoveLive Sunshine giant poster killed me :x
0:35 Love Live Sunshine!!!
Where can i find this restaurant in Tokyo ?
Now that I realize it, I've never seen a female sushi chef.
bucketlist when I win the lottery!!!!!
I never really though about this because my grandmother makes sushi (even though she grew up in Japan).
because their hands are warmer? i...what? how? even if that was true how would it affect the sushi?
OH YEAHHH!!
Girl power!
I will go there the next time I'm in Tokyo
If I would order sushi I'll order it well done.
it looks so delicious hm!
All these comments whether its sexiest or not sexiest and i'm just enjoying their beautiful smiles.
Lord KeK Mmmm, "sexiest."
Uhmmm recommendation the place where u make ur sushi 🍣 seams like it would be a very heated place u should put some air conditioners in there and also put some windows around
Did i see a whole big shrimp put in the rice for sushi...
At one point in the video it mentioned woman having warmer hand than men, but I'm pretty sure its the opposite way round. Anyway, good on them for taking the initiative.
is someone know the song in 01:04 ?
Girl power ✨
This is honestly so cute.
0:56 this.
go girlsssssss
YAASS LADIES!! 💖💖💖💖
oh my god what is the address
I have been there, the food is pretty good, but SUPER slow.
lacey green would be proud
I saw love live sunshine at 00:35

Why is no one talking about the love live school idol poster at 0.36
