Love that he is teaching her despite the belief in japan that women can not make good sushi. And he was never rude to her. He spoke to her purely on her mistake and doubt in herself.
best munchies episode by far, because it's finally a humble one. no pretense, no trying to be as cool as possible, no hipster nonsense - just sincere and real footage. food, quality, dedication, struggles, tradition, back stories. wonderful!
I respect Toshio Oguma so much. He denied to serve a customer after the customer denied to taste Oona's sushi because of her being female, then asked the customer to leave.
I really enjoyed this episode. I would very much love to experience dining with them in their restaurant. The food and their engagement with the customers is enticing. Thank you.
T.C. McQueen Count me in' I haven't had Sushi in about 2 months. I'm dying for some soooooo bad. Every time I watch one of the episodes its like Pleasurable Torture & I can't look away.
Best Sushi Chef episode so far. This really captures the sheer heart and soul that goes into this profession and a reflection of Japanese culture itself. Completely dedicate yourself to one thing and try to perfect it for the rest of your life, but humble enough to realise you will never reach perfection.
I think this is my favourite episode yet. Not only does it nail the art of sushi (like the other videos), it really digs deep and sheds light on the relationship between Sushi chef and apprentice, Sushi chef and his wife, Sushi chef and his food, Sushi chef and his staff and Sushi chef with himself. Quite fascinating dynamics.
+Aaron Chow Oh my gosh Jiro Dreams of Sushi is what really really got me to love the idea of Sushi. I've only had it two times but liked it and just have to get over the fact that the fish is raw. I love the taste and environment though. I think about becoming a sushi chef sometimes.
I dont eat fish(Im vegetarian) but i have so much respect for this Sensei and his apprentice,and all people who work hard to preserve traditional art and culture.There's so much wisdom in this short video.Wish it was a full length documentary!Kampai!
At 14:50 When she says " I am sorry because I am going to be stubborn and stick with you for a while.." I feel like the master is laughing , but from the inside he is attached to her , he considers her as a family member , like his daughter and wants her to stick around them for a long long time... This makes me feel like crying... He scolds her , he makes her understand things in the best way possible ( as he was taught everything in a very strict manner from his masters ) , he is the perfect teacher who also learns by teaching... but he is a human being after all... I don't know , I might be thinking a lot , maybe everything is just normal... I have this crazy inner desire to feel that everyone loves everyone and everyone will be together and will be happy and peaceful forever and after 😊
+Andrew Orr If it helps in making you laugh , let me share a true story . The head sushi chef came to my dream and I got scolded by him for being a bad customer ( and I actually felt like crying . When in reality I don't even eat meat ,fish or egg . ) So yeah , that's the level of me being 'crazy'. Just gonna delete the main comment in some time :P All this is so embarrassing :P 😓
I first eat Sushi in Vancouver 1990. And coming from London was a real experience, nothing like this ever before. So watching this is wonderful. Seeing Oona put so much love and joy in something that’s gone in a second. ( now you see it now you don’t) of course is designed to be eaten like that, but still , I could really sense and feel The sensitive emotion she has. All I can honestly say is if i get to visit NY I must go and experience sushi at munchies. Here in London a lot of this kind of food is prepared already and called sushi that’s not sushi . The old sushi Masters have to except that women have all the heart and soul to prepare sushi. Oona Tempest is proof of that...
I really liked how this episode showed a lot more of the philosophy behind the way he teaches, and the unique way she is learning all of that in a very different era from when he trained.
What I love about this episode is that it proves to show that anyone can start somewhere even if it’s your first time making sushi or anything else. On 11:01 you could see the master sushi chef showing discipline towards his own apprentice because she mixed the first batch of rice with the second batch. Little details like that matters because if you’re going to make someone great as you then you must show them the correct way and to learn from your own mistakes. No other munchies videos will show you that and a little something that goes on behind the kitchen scene.
Centrioless slap the back of my head or hit me with the backside of a knife or whatever he was holding at the time or he'd throw shit at me lol or yell at me to get the fuck out of the sushi bar or restaurant if i fucked up
If someone made a full film out of this I would totally watch it. The master-student relationship + sushi chef philosophies + beautiful shots of the sushi being prepared and the drawings of fish
What is cool is that this could really apply to anything in life. Just finding the people out there who are super passionate about something makes other people interested in it. From brick laying to sushi making. I will admit Japanese food holds a unique position for me personally. Watching soba, udon, ramen, sushi, kare (curry), yaki (grilled food), age (fried food) masters is sublime!
That poor girl was so emotional when it came to the subject of her father passing, she said fortunately, instead of unfortunately. At first I got confused. I think she has a good heart, young, but good, she'll make a great mature adult for the world. It is nice to see that potential in strangers, especially in the youth.
I absolutely adored this video. Love has no barriers, no walls, no limits. Love is a never-ending journey without an ending. If we could take this video clip, the pure passion you get from these chefs and everyone in the world apply it to every aspect of our daily lives... WOW. Just wow!! What a magnificent world, this Earth could be. To respect one another, to cherish one another, to have an unconditional love for all.... Perhaps this is just a dream, but the joy it would bring if this reality lived in us all. Again, I say, I absolutely adored this video!
Tomorrow is my first day work at Japanese restaurant after city lockdown due to covid 19. Watching this video give me inspiration. Love the restaurant atmosphere, love the "friend-like" relationship between chefs and customers... and how he raise his aprentice as well.
This is a story of how a sushi chef who didn't fit in, finally created his own world that he loves. It's also the story of a wandering woman who found a vocation and a new family.
She is a great pupil. Hard working, loyal, dedicated and passionate. They are going to be an amazing team in a few years, the restaurant will have its golden era and she's already wise enough to think about carrying the tradition.
I felt so good watching that video !!! I just wanna go to this sushi bar and taste those sushi !! Speak a bit with those people !! I had a sweet and calm and warm feeling moment watching and listening those people who deeply love what they do and love people they serve.... Thank you !!
One of the best episodes on munchies. This restaurant has so many taste and great compassion. They are very lucky to have Toshio, and Toshio is lucky to have great passionate staff. Maybe one day I can come visit from Japan. Great episode, lovely Restaurant. Thankyou
I see two things about cooking over and over again which are the absolute fundamentals of being successful at it. First you need to love it. As it is with most things, if you don't love what you do it shows, but I feel like it is twice that with cooking. If you lack the passion and love for food, you are going to start compromising... Which leads my to the second thing. You got to have standards and never compromise, otherwise you are setting yourself up for a quick and devastating fail... I watched Kitchen Nightmares religiously at one point. Then started looking at other chefs (meaning other than Gordon Ramsay) and I see these two principals, standing out from anything else like pillars on which a great chef stands on. I will never forget this as long as I'm among the living!
This is humbling to watch and also inspiring. I felt such a resonance from the people in this video. Especially about the genuine heart, and learning with pain. When I'm not making sushi, my hands hurt. I wonder if Oguma-san would be willing to take on an apprentice from Texas...
The Sushi Chef series is excellent, great people, places and stories. And while very "indie" for my personal taste, it is delightfully executed filmography. Wouldn't change a thing.
We had the pleasure of eating here when We visited NY this June. Delicious food, informative meal, super service. A great experience as well as a delicious memorable meal.
Speaks highly of the Chef's character that he was conditioned to receive or resort to violence during his learning and yet despite being a little mad having that much control over himself. He is a good guy, just had harsh people around him growing up.
I love this videos. You are making an excellent work, inspiring people and showing the amazing world that we see when we make sushi. Really really, you can't make sushi without falling in love with its taste.
This video has inspired me so much. Now i have new hobby: watching video while making and enjoy my homemade sushi. Dreaming about someday i could make my room into a sushi counter to enjoy with my friends.
Wonderful video - I loved the focus on detail, especially his mention of the treatment of guests. The interaction between master and student was also fascinating, so nice to see the pursuit of excellence in such a beautiful profession.
Making sure to put this place on my "must visit" list next time I'm in NYC. This was a wonderful sushi episode! So far my favorite. Looking forward to meeting these chefs!
Watching this as a sushi apprentice atm. I'm focus more on how they arrange the jobs in such a tiny kitchen. A little hard for staff but cozy for customers.
Talented apprentice you got there. Through her i can see that sushi is not only delicious but it can be beautiful also. Every ingredients that she described even though i dont get it but it makes me drool. And what surprised me the most she is only an apprentice for about one year!!.. and already she can make that kind of sushi. I thought apprentices must stay behind in the kitchen for several years before they can even served customers.
So like why is this not like a show on TV like on the food net or cooking channel even the travel channel. I really enjoy this you-tube channel and believe it would do well on TV. But either way i shall still enjoy this channel.
They have some communication problems. She said she didn't notice the first batch of shari was too soft, so when the first batch was made, she believed it was fine. It wasn't until later that she thought it was soft. He asked her if the first batch was also soft and she kinda nodded. She nodded not because she realized at the time of making the first batch that it was soft, but by inference. Since it is soft now, it must have been soft before and it wasn't noticed. The head chef misinterpreted this and thought she knowingly mixed the bad batch with the good and scolds her for not saying anything when she saw the soft batch. But she never saw the soft batch until it was already mixed. She just nods away without ever explaining herself because she was intimidated by him.
MonokuroBooHokKan And that's why she needs to improve her communication. I've worked in a kitchen and what's most important is to be able to communicate.
+MonokuroBooHokKan she was the first person touched the 1st batch so responsibility rests on her as she ok it and mixed with 2nd batch.... lucky her master didn't throw rice on to her face.
MonokuroBooHokKan don't buy it..... she said she didn't notice the rice was 'this' soft but i think she knew the rice was soft but didn't realise was much softer and she made the judgement call to mix it without telling her master....
I was wanting to give up in being a PDR tech until I came upon this and learned it´s okay to have setbacks, even after a year since starting. I´m just an apprentice whose intimidated by her father.
Such a great video, i love the dedication from Toshio and especially his willingness to pass on his skills! I was an apprentice once and after seeing this i think i chose the wrong profession. Great work guys and VICE for continuing the awesome stuff that I just can't get on free to air tv. Cheers Ryan Gold coast Australia
its crazy that she is already behind the counter. I remember the Masa episode of Parts Unknown and the go back to where he first worked, I think Uncle Tony said minimum 2 years just making rice....
Absolutely loved this episode! The history and present relationship of the two chefs were very similar to wasabi on a delicate piece of sushi, it added just the right amount of kick. Thank you!
Wow... i was in the food Industry for about 15 Years, now i´m a trained Blacksmith ^^ May i just needed someone like Toshio Oguma ;) Who knows, i like my Steel and Iron Stuff ;P
Love that he is teaching her despite the belief in japan that women can not make good sushi. And he was never rude to her. He spoke to her purely on her mistake and doubt in herself.
xpinkHOLIC ahh no wonder, come to think of it i have never seen a female make sushi
learn something new every day (Y)
xpinkHOLIC Where did you hear that?
Ifrit fucking noob
SebStorm what?
sebstorm bruhh
yeah, you dont have to say much and i know youre a virgin.
SebStorm any one who uses the word noob is for sure a Virgin and a little punk bitch.
As an apprentice chef myself It's interesting to see how she bounces back from mistakes. Instead of taking it personally she takes it as teaching.
best munchies episode by far, because it's finally a humble one. no pretense, no trying to be as cool as possible, no hipster nonsense - just sincere and real footage. food, quality, dedication, struggles, tradition, back stories. wonderful!
One of the best series ever on munchies...
Mike Hunt Makes me god damn hungry every time I see it pop up though. I need a warning so I can at least go pick some up!
I agree!
Mike Hunt Is it only me, but Keep it Canada is fucking cracking! But this show is goos as well.
Mike Hunt I was just gonna say the same!
mattias hägg
Yeah I'm the same mate, matty gives something that just can't be replicated anywhere!
I respect Toshio Oguma so much. He denied to serve a customer after the customer denied to taste Oona's sushi because of her being female, then asked the customer to leave.
where can we see that?
It was on Eater's video
+Michael Choe link plz

That is sooo cool. Good for him!
I really enjoyed this episode. I would very much love to experience dining with them in their restaurant. The food and their engagement with the customers is enticing. Thank you.

"Don't compromise" that's a sign of artisanship.
I think this is my favourite episode yet. Not only does it nail the art of sushi (like the other videos), it really digs deep and sheds light on the relationship between Sushi chef and apprentice, Sushi chef and his wife, Sushi chef and his food, Sushi chef and his staff and Sushi chef with himself.

this is a beautiful film
more of this kind of film please
***** google the film, Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
They make awesome vids like this all the time :)
+Aaron Chow Oh my gosh Jiro Dreams of Sushi is what really really got me to love the idea of Sushi. I've only had it two times but liked it and just have to get over the fact that the fish is raw. I love the taste and environment though. I think about becoming a sushi chef sometimes.

Great to look at things from apprentice's perspective for once, interesting video.
David Grohl Hey man! How's your leg going?
At 14:50 When she says " I am sorry because I am going to be stubborn and stick with you for a while.."
I feel like the master is laughing , but from the inside he is attached to her , he considers her as a family member , like his daughter and wants her to stick around them for a long long time...
This makes me feel like crying...
He scolds her , he makes her understand things in the best way possible ( as he was taught everything in a very strict manner from his masters ) , he is the perfect teacher who also learns by teaching...
but he is a human being after all...
I don't know , I might be thinking a lot , maybe everything is just normal...
I have this crazy inner desire to feel that everyone loves everyone and everyone will be together and will be happy and peaceful forever and after 😊
Kaur Puneet wtf
i would also like some off the drugs
+Andrew Orr It's called 'stupidity' , I was born with loads of it and still have it intact....
+Andrew Orr If it helps in making you laugh , let me share a true story .
The head sushi chef came to my dream and I got scolded by him for being a bad customer ( and I actually felt like crying .
When in reality I don't even eat meat ,fish or egg . )
So yeah , that's the level of me being 'crazy'.
Just gonna delete the main comment in some time :P
All this is so embarrassing :P 😓
Don't delete it, it's not embararrassing I thought the same thing.
The way he cuts fish is oddly satisfying.
I first eat Sushi in Vancouver 1990. And coming from London was a real experience, nothing like this ever before. So watching this is wonderful. Seeing Oona put so much love and joy in something that’s gone in a second. ( now you see it now you don’t) of course is designed to be eaten like that, but still , I could really sense and feel The sensitive emotion she has.

Awww he's like the father she never had.
😢
He's a dick so yeah probably true.
Explicit Tech daddy issues...the blonde wife better watch out ;)
Explicit Tech "She's like the weeb daughter I never had."
Explicit Tech LOLOOLOLOLOLOL so true.
Oona is going to be a great female sushi chef one day. Keep honing the skills! I like that Oona and Toshio have this father-daughter bond going on.
I really liked how this episode showed a lot more of the philosophy behind the way he teaches, and the unique way she is learning all of that in a very different era from when he trained.

when he got pissed about the rice I got scared.
Yeah me too I was like woah, but you can tell he just wants to make sure good food is made.
Cybergig00 lol im a sushi chef and she got it easy, my old master wouldn't scold me but also physically hit me
+mickey oh did he also touch you?
Centrioless slap the back of my head or hit me with the backside of a knife or whatever he was holding at the time or he'd throw shit at me lol or yell at me to get the fuck out of the sushi bar or restaurant if i fucked up
+Cybergig00 she's so lucky with her short time in the industry and already making nigiri to paying customers.... her master really got balls
If someone made a full film out of this I would totally watch it. The master-student relationship + sushi chef philosophies + beautiful shots of the sushi being prepared and the drawings of fish
ウーナさんだ！
彼女の寿司に対する情熱やこだわりは、日本の寿司職人のそれである。
いつか立派になって自分の店を持って欲しいね
Oona is an artist in every way, she was born for this and to be so fortunate to learn from a master is truly a blessing for her, go Oona!
What is cool is that this could really apply to anything in life. Just finding the people out there who are super passionate about something makes other people interested in it. From brick laying to sushi making. I will admit Japanese food holds a unique position for me personally. Watching soba, udon, ramen, sushi, kare (curry), yaki (grilled food), age (fried food) masters is sublime!

I think she has a good heart, young, but good, she'll make a great mature adult for the world. It is nice to see that potential in strangers, especially in the youth.
She did say unfortunately, it sounds like she said "and fortunately" though.
Jackson Tran Ah yes, with that hesitation in her voice it came out sounding different to me. I caught it now.
she found herself a sushi daddy
親方も良い弟子を持ったね、鍛え甲斐がある良い子だよ。
I came for Sushi. I left with a Loving Father - Daughter Story. Touching!
sad life............
I absolutely adored this video. Love has no barriers, no walls, no limits. Love is a never-ending journey without an ending. If we could take this video clip, the pure passion you get from these chefs and everyone in the world apply it to every aspect of our daily lives... WOW. Just wow!! What a magnificent world, this Earth could be. To respect one another, to cherish one another, to have an unconditional love for all....

Tomorrow is my first day work at Japanese restaurant after city lockdown due to covid 19. Watching this video give me inspiration. Love the restaurant atmosphere, love the "friend-like" relationship between chefs and customers... and how he raise his aprentice as well.
i love this person's philosophy "Magokoro" the customer service feeling that he has with the words he explained is very good
this is just so lovely, it's moving it's passionate but it's also so humble
Rest In Peace, Toshio-san...
This is a story of how a sushi chef who didn't fit in, finally created his own world that he loves. It's also the story of a wandering woman who found a vocation and a new family.
Man would love to see a chef night's out with Toshio. The whole work environment there is amazing, including the owner.
What an absolutely touching episode. Thanks so much for making this available.
She is a great pupil. Hard working, loyal, dedicated and passionate. They are going to be an amazing team in a few years, the restaurant will have its golden era and she's already wise enough to think about carrying the tradition.
Oona left already, she has her own sushi pop up now.
it makes so nervous when they record people that sound like they are about to cry
日本では余りお見掛けしないオグマ トシオさんですが、和やかなビデオでついつい最後まで見てしまいました。仕事も丁寧でお弟子さんとの会話も和やかで良かったです。シャリもネタも美味しそうで食べてみたいですね。箸ではなく手で食べているお客様の姿はオグマ トシオの理念を感じ取れました。お弟子の若い女性は菜箸を左手で日本包丁は右手で・・・意気込みを感じました。末永く頑張って下さい。
2018年の12月4日に亡くなられました…
Learnt a handful from this episode. Very insightful! Probably my favourite of this series.
I'm glad that Oona found family and a father figure at Tanoshi Sushi. A touching story indeed.
I felt so good watching that video !!! I just wanna go to this sushi bar and taste those sushi !! Speak a bit with those people !! I had a sweet and calm and warm feeling moment watching and listening those people who deeply love what they do and love people they serve.... Thank you !!
I like how down to earth this episode is compared to the last two
Sushi chefs have so much passion
R.I.P Mr Toshio Oguma....
from Germany
One of the best episodes on munchies. This restaurant has so many taste and great compassion. They are very lucky to have Toshio, and Toshio is lucky to have great passionate staff. Maybe one day I can come visit from Japan. Great episode, lovely Restaurant. Thankyou
Toshio is by far my most favorite chef in the series! I love the eating the basic traditional high quality sushi, not the fresh, new, fusion kinds.
One of the best sincere episodes so far.
I see two things about cooking over and over again which are the absolute fundamentals of being successful at it.
First you need to love it. As it is with most things, if you don't love what you do it shows, but I feel like it is twice that with cooking. If you lack the passion and love for food, you are going to start compromising...
Which leads my to the second thing. You got to have standards and never compromise, otherwise you are setting yourself up for a quick and devastating fail...
I watched Kitchen Nightmares religiously at one point. Then started looking at other chefs (meaning other than Gordon Ramsay) and I see these two principals, standing out from anything else like pillars on which a great chef stands on.
I will never forget this as long as I'm among the living!
Good job, Munchies! This is a great episode! Great storytelling!
This is humbling to watch and also inspiring.
I felt such a resonance from the people in this video.
Especially about the genuine heart, and learning with pain.
When I'm not making sushi, my hands hurt.
I wonder if Oguma-san would be willing to take on an apprentice from Texas...
The Sushi Chef series is excellent, great people, places and stories. And while very "indie" for my personal taste, it is delightfully executed filmography. Wouldn't change a thing.
My love for sushi has most definitely deepened because of this episode. I would love to one day come and eat at this sushi bar!
Wonder if she'll change her name to Toona Tempest. (In all seriousness though, great ep and I like the Sushi Chef series)
We had the pleasure of eating here when We visited NY this June. Delicious food, informative meal, super service. A great experience as well as a delicious memorable meal.
Speaks highly of the Chef's character that he was conditioned to receive or resort to violence during his learning and yet despite being a little mad having that much control over himself. He is a good guy, just had harsh people around him growing up.
I love this videos. You are making an excellent work, inspiring people and showing the amazing world that we see when we make sushi. Really really, you can't make sushi without falling in love with its taste.
This Sushi Chef serie is so freaking F****ng good!
This video has inspired me so much. Now i have new hobby: watching video while making and enjoy my homemade sushi. Dreaming about someday i could make my room into a sushi counter to enjoy with my friends.
Wonderful video - I loved the focus on detail, especially his mention of the treatment of guests. The interaction between master and student was also fascinating, so nice to see the pursuit of excellence in such a beautiful profession.
wow watching these sushi chefs videos really shows how it's more of an art than it is just about eating. this is amazing.
Wow! I was moved when I watched this video.
I learned a lot from this video. Now making a food is kind of art to me.
Best episode I have ever seen here, It made me happy by just watching it.
Their passion is amazing. Food looks awesome too. Will have to try next time I'm in NY
Making sure to put this place on my "must visit" list next time I'm in NYC. This was a wonderful sushi episode! So far my favorite. Looking forward to meeting these chefs!
Good episode!
And I am sure she would be a great sushi chef one day. She has the right mind, right attitude and good hand coordination.
光る素質にたゆまぬ努力、厳しい指導にもひるまぬ負けん気。親方も厳しいく優しい愛情溢れる人に感じる。私は英語が良くわからないが何となく親方の言っている事が伝わった。彼女も良い顔してる、きっと将来は真心いっぱいでおもてなしする凄いすし職人になると信じています。
Watching this as a sushi apprentice atm. I'm focus more on how they arrange the jobs in such a tiny kitchen. A little hard for staff but cozy for customers.
Love this episode! And I fell in love with Oona xd
Im back. Thank you for the inspiration. R.I.P chef
Talented apprentice you got there. Through her i can see that sushi is not only delicious but it can be beautiful also. Every ingredients that she described even though i dont get it but it makes me drool. And what surprised me the most she is only an apprentice for about one year!!.. and already she can make that kind of sushi. I thought apprentices must stay behind in the kitchen for several years before they can even served customers.
She left this place to go to another restaurant for a little bit (Ginza Onodera) but now she has her own restaurant with David Bouhadana
The Sushi Chef is like he best thing to happen to Munchies, so good, hope there is more to come
I would travel to NY just to dine with her.. What a beautiful personality she has
So like why is this not like a show on TV like on the food net or cooking channel even the travel channel. I really enjoy this you-tube channel and believe it would do well on TV. But either way i shall still enjoy this channel.
She seems like she's learning swiftly. Good job there lady
RIP Toshi Oguma
RIP Oguma-san
Realest Ryoma
You can google it and easily find the fact. He sadly passed away a couple of months ago.
What a great film, so much inspiration, I'd love to know more about those guys and that sushi bar.
I'm coming here guys this weekend. Going to make this pilgrimage
This series and this episode are some the best on all of Munchies. Great stuff.
such a lovely episode.
I am becoming a sushi chef. Cant wait to start
best of the series so far!
They have some communication problems. She said she didn't notice the first batch of shari was too soft, so when the first batch was made, she believed it was fine. It wasn't until later that she thought it was soft. He asked her if the first batch was also soft and she kinda nodded. She nodded not because she realized at the time of making the first batch that it was soft, but by inference. Since it is soft now, it must have been soft before and it wasn't noticed. The head chef misinterpreted this and thought she knowingly mixed the bad batch with the good and scolds her for not saying anything when she saw the soft batch. But she never saw the soft batch until it was already mixed.
She just nods away without ever explaining herself because she was intimidated by him.
MonokuroBooHokKan And that's why she needs to improve her communication. I've worked in a kitchen and what's most important is to be able to communicate.
+MonokuroBooHokKan she was the first person touched the 1st batch so responsibility rests on her as she ok it and mixed with 2nd batch.... lucky her master didn't throw rice on to her face.
+William Ng Not the point. He scolds her for knowingly mixing the bad batch with the good. She didn't knowingly do it.
MonokuroBooHokKan
don't buy it..... she said she didn't notice the rice was 'this' soft but i think she knew the rice was soft but didn't realise was much softer and she made the judgement call to mix it without telling her master....
+William Ng That's what the head chef believed, but from her response, I feel that she didn't notice it until now.
I like warmed wet mushy Sushi rice with Nianago or Uni , the combination is so nice !
I am so deeply in love with this channel.
I was wanting to give up in being a PDR tech until I came upon this and learned it´s okay to have setbacks, even after a year since starting. I´m just an apprentice whose intimidated by her father.
Things like this just confirm my reasons for creating sushi for a living
Tough love is real love. Great story telling.
Thank you so much for this video, it was absolutely beautiful.
Shes so passionate about sushi i can see one day she'll master it.
Such a great video, i love the dedication from Toshio and especially his willingness to pass on his skills! I was an apprentice once and after seeing this i think i chose the wrong profession. Great work guys and VICE for continuing the awesome stuff that I just can't get on free to air tv.
Cheers Ryan
Gold coast Australia
Love that such fine food is made and eaten with hands :)
its crazy that she is already behind the counter. I remember the Masa episode of Parts Unknown and the go back to where he first worked, I think Uncle Tony said minimum 2 years just making rice....
lovely short documenter
Toshio says he learned through pain. I had a sensei who studied kendo in Japan and that's how he learned. Old school.
Absolutely loved this episode! The history and present relationship of the two chefs were very similar to wasabi on a delicate piece of sushi, it added just the right amount of kick. Thank you!
It's really cool that Rebecca Pigeon can sing and act and also make sushi.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Really inspiring and heartwarming. This one was really good.
Im totally into the regular old sushi, no gimmicks no extra flavors.
Wow... i was in the food Industry for about 15 Years, now i´m a trained Blacksmith ^^
