7:30 "do it for the rest of my life, or I will be inferior to those with higher education."
That's saying something about becoming a master of your craft.
He probably just loves his job or doesn't really have a much better choice.
@Tom Stanton That too.
He's the chef of a Michelin star sushi restaurant.... this guy makes good dough for not speaking a lick of English
Please keep this series forever, chefs like him need recognition, not like those celebrity chefs
Not all celebrity chefs are undeserving of attention. A lot have paid their dues.
zachmarkham84 yes
Popular guy bad😡
Is a Michelin star chef.
Eats rice with ketchup.

"Continuation is power"... I'll remember that.
More like consistency
All this time I thought that fish are just water dogs...

@PATRIOT HAM You are brainwashed. It is Koreans that should thank Japan for paying all your modernization costs and gave you all the education and technologies.
@PATRIOT HAM You are over generalizing bro, not every japanese person did that
Anoo.. Anooo.. Anoooo..
So "Anoooo" is Japanese for "Ummmm"
Got it
That's actually 100% correct, no joke!
and "umm" in chinese is....
yeah, bout that
N L xdd
Anoooooooooooooooo...
That’s literally it
I can feel his sincere passion and affection to his career. Kind of a moving story.
yeah, what that sweet viola music in the background, youre pretty easy to manipulate
@PATRIOT HAM So not to be that Japanese guy, but Japan has issued apologies and financial compensation on three different occasions, which the Korean government accepted all three times. It seems that these issues only come to the forefront in Korea when their politicians stoke nationalism to make up for falling approval ratings. I think Japanese politicians just aren't apologizing or sending money anymore bc Korean politicians will just ask for more a few years down the road.
@@myonionsmatter7843 I mean, he did mention he's happy he chose this path.
Myonions Matter bro chill
In all honesty, Japanese food sucks. Tasteless and most of it taste the same. Boring food. Even the cooks are often lazy and serve raw food. Over rated rubbish tbh
1:15 it says a lot about the strictness of his mother that he left home to become a sushi chef (寿司職人), it’s known to be one of the most demanding apprenticeships in Japan. Good thing he doesn’t hate her tho
He moved to about the opposite side of the globe.
Notice that when he quit for a week, he didn't go home but lived on the streets.

You don't know if he doesn't hate his mother
Why dont fish bark?
brotherhoodfiji.com/free_cake.htm
No. He probably does. Which is why he never visits or goes back.
The sad music hits as he’s killing the lobster lol
Bach ftw
brozors it’s literally still alive when the meat is sitting there next to it and he says this is the kindest way lol
@@f4t4lity0r4 yeah I thought the kindest way is to put the knife in the head and pull down
@@SuperTobbe12 You'd be correct.
@@johndoe5432 theres actualy no great way to kill a lobster, their brains are actualy a collection of ganglia scattered around it's whole body.
Journalists have revealed many restaurants actually pass off ocean catch as expensive ones, blatantly ripping off customers. This guy however, has his fish air flown from Japan. That's respect.
Who knew? Thankfully those restaurant doesn't have Michelin starts I bet.
radiation really makes japanese fish taste better
Also he’s not pretentious about his stuff being all wild caught - he knows when to used the farmed stuff and isn’t ashamed of it.
@@methujeraya Keep playing your F2P games and living in your dump of a home 😄
I love his voice. It sounds so sincere and lovely. The food is as good-looking as usual, no doubt that it will taste good.
Yeah, he sounds very sincere. I'm sure he's a lovely person

or proof of an unrefined palate
When people ask for a sushiya rec in NYC, it’s Kosaka that I recommend every time. It may not be the most “famous”, but Yoshi-san is the main reason why. Great vid - a lot more pro than mine.
Have you had the salmon there? From his description is seems like he selects bland salmon on purpose. I prefer highly flavorful salmon.
The dance his hands perform with the nigiri is pure magic. An artist.
Just look and his face.
He's so sincere and dedicated to his work. May you have anything you ever want in your life.
This guy seems so humble yet energetic, I could watch him work and talk all day.
Drinking game : take a shot whenever the chef says “anoo”
Sake
🥴
youd be wasted before this vid ends
Pissed in the first 47 seconds of this
Eddie P id be dead
It seems like every time i see a new sushi restaurant video, there are more and more fish that these sushi restaurants are serving that I've never heard of.
We've definitely come a long way since the days of tuna, yellowtail, and salmon (which is a great thing).
Dont forget California rolls 😉
Not sure if thats a NY thing. But LA, yes. I've seen how sushi changed in the last 20 years in my neighborhood and was fortunate to eat at many of them like this omakase place in NY.
I guess it could be a good thing, but a lot more fish are being farmed and killed, and although delicious, it can’t be great for the population unless they are farmed fish (which is what a lot of the fish he had are)
@@gracecityla1550 lol
I swear Eater has the best storytelling, video editing, cinematography and music editing I have seen in the world of food documentaries/videos.
Interesting. I like the energy he puts into everything. Thank you for the upload.
There is so much modesty and grace among many of these sushi masters. It's beautiful to watch them work.
Watched a few of these on YT and it's absolutely incredible the skill, dedication and love for their craft they have
"I think the kindest way to kill the lobster is with a knife"
Cut's lobster and tear's it's body into two. Continues to move.
ikr 😂
That was disturbing to watch 🤦🏻♂️
I didn’t really find it that disturbing sure maybe he could have cut into its head first but I don’t see too much wrong with it as even when you cut into the head there are still muscular reflexes so it won’t look any more disturbing to you
@@un6abee3y maybe a viewer discretion warning would've been useful, can't blame ya
Everything you kill has muscle movement afterward because of the nerves. It was dead. The first cut killed it immediately
What an amazing and talented Sushi Chef. Thank you for this informative and inspirational video.
Dude, that’s what it’s all about. Allowing your creativity and talent to shine through. The best moments that make it all worthwhile, are when you ignite a customer's soul. From seeing their face light up when they see your creations; to the smiles, moans, and foodgasms they experience eating it; to how it makes them feel afterward.
I love this chef. He's not working, he's doing what he loves. It's passion.
I got served by him the first time going to his restaurant. He's super energetic during service.
How awesome. :) he looks like just a ball of sincere excitement of sharing tasty tidbits while also feeding you information that you didn’t know. 👍🏻
@@shellymills8105 Watching him prepare my sushi whilst helping another chef prep his big table was something.
@jmalcolmg123 Apologies for late reply. Honestly once you get to the real high end of sushi in NYC it's very similar because all of the high-end restaurants get their fish from the same few suppliers. I did think they made the sushi rice very well. Overall I would give it a 8.5/10.
Love this video! Kudos to the Sushi Chef! I can feel his passion and love to his work! 🙌

So beautiful to see someone so passionate and dedicated to their craft.🥺
I really like this episode and this chef. Getting a glimpse of his human side was pleasant
i can feel that he is a very humble man which loves his passion. very hard to find

"Continuation is power" i felt that
I like how he is smiling while scaling the fish. He seems to be happy and passionate about what he is doing everyday.
I pass by almost every day, good to see. I used to be a chef so enjoy the art and passion involved!
I really felt his passion from what he is doing
food well-known in art
Thank you for cooking
예술에 경지에 오른 음식^^ 요리 감사해요
Epic video of a true master of sushi and the culinary arts of japan!
Respect the way they ship the fishes! All fresh and shinny eyes
0:52
I've heard some japanese chef say that this moment feels like Christmas every morning.
What a humble and down to earth chef, totally no pretense about his food at all
Ate here 3 times. He never failed to deliver top-notch omakase on all occasions.
Such an awesome video, loved the music as well!
Thought i was watching an anime when he was killing the lobster because of the bgm they used like duuuude
King salmon mixed with trout? Craziest thing I've ever heard. Never even knew it was possible until this minute. Two quite different fish. Sounds absolutely delicious! Wish I could try it!
Trout and salmon are closely related.
すごい質の良い魚と正確な技ですね〜
Amazing. I would like to go here. Thanks for sharing
Makes you wonder how strict his mom was to want to be a sushi chef of all things 😂
When eating Sushi, you really are "getting a part of the Chef." And right as he 'hands
you the Sushi too....
So much knowledge... What a true master at its class.
Thank you for enriching humanity with you art, Kousaka-dono.
theres no one better to learn about fish. Then a sushi chef.
Check my UA-cam Channel I am tasting with the chefs of the best hotels and restaurants 😉
It's one of the few places in New York where you can get real sushi!
You can see the respect he has for what he creates, his passion. He is truly an artist.
Pure perfection!
Let's be honest, he probably could get into Totsuki Level in Food Wars. I can't imagine how good it is.
When will this channel put contrast to its subtitle?

But at least I know now... fish aren't water dogs...

They need to put a black outline to the letters to make it readable even with varying colors in the video itself
@@WithLadyjoe Shame on you. Don't spam channels with much Better content than yours. Stop poaching other videos to get more views. Shame on you.
@@WithLadyjoe Guaranteed way to make me NOT visit a channel is when you spam someone's video!
Out of all the Michelin-starred sushi restaurants I've seen on youtube, this is the only one I actually want to visit.
Full of symbolism and a grace typical of Japanese perfectionism, beautiful.
This dude is real. He say he feels like a “FUGITIVE” when he ran away from his training opportunity.
Pay attention closely to the video (audio) on this three mayor things, he talks a lot about he’s Mom, strictness and HAPPINESS, he smile a lot, that’s mean a happy soul out there. Grab a friend and go get some sushi.
"Keep doing the same thing for a long time gives you wisdom"
@truthhurts Yes, there is something to learn you see
I’ve had the honor of eating at Kosaka and I must say it’s a high I chase every day lol. I live on the west coast and nothing compares to Kosaka.
Thanks for this video
1:56
-that’s what she said
8:41 the most humane way to dispatch a lobster and then he doesn’t dispatch it at all he just cuts it’s tail off...
@big boy gustav do you eat the insects?
@@otterspace907 thats his point
big boy gustav Hannibal will tell us
The experience within those moves can't be measured
I’m so happy I eat super good sushi every day
I was watching rap battles.... how did i end up here lol
Do you regret it tho?
same
Same 😂😂😂 what u watchin? Lol
Ew rap battlee
pinkpugginz no need to be rude
First time I see more fish then rice in a nigiri sushi
Everyone liked that
Very enjoyed watching this chef
Its like watching a ballet or a great opera... just a beautiful art...
9:38 Dude.. the lobster's head and shell are _still_ moving after he's removed the fresh from it
.
.
😧🎻
Shadows on subtitles. Use them.
A very humble guy.
you can see the happiness when he served the food
i've never been this fast on a youtube video
8:36 This is the nicest way to kill the lobster 9:41 *look right* lobster isn’t dead my dude.
Teh Gamist well some stuff doesn’t die instantly, a human can last like 20 seconds while decapitated I think
it's dead. it's just the muscles using the last of it's energy .
Master of his craft. So much work went into preparation, and fish flown from Japan, no wonder it's $$$$
Very humble n sincerely
Yoshihiko: Keep doing the same things for a long time gives you wisdom
Gordon Ramsay: Wisdom my arse, your sushi is RAW!
Except Ramsay is a normie compared to this Japanese chefs lol
dont cut these videos down. This guy still had at least 10more minutes to share! STOP!
The work ethics of these chefs are just amazing. It breaks a typical person
Now that is really passion for food!
0:30
I thought that was a Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride head on display.
Yeah what‘s up with that? Makes it look like some sort of Japanese voodoo shrine instead of a restaurant.
8:41 the kindest thing lol. Wait he just cut the tail off so the thing is still alive screaming omg my tail is missing.
head and body severed, it still moving is just the nerves/muscles using the last of it's energy
The background music at 8:00 made it more climactic like how the fishermans catch the lobsters and how he kills the lobster peacefully and quickly it looked like he was doing art tbh xD
Love watching this master!!!
take a sake shot for every "Anoooo"
you will go to icu
9:41 u can literally see it's legs moving
You can literally search on the internet why it did so
Death throes
it's dead. it's just the nerves/muscles using the last of it's energy
He seems like a really nice person!!!
This video was so good
Thats no way to kill a lobster
This "action" camera guy is giving me motion sickness 😒
had to stop the video halfway through and comb the comments to see if anyone else noticed the same thing.
It gets me every time:(
It’s getting especially annoying with this series lately... at least get a bloody stabilizer.
I just wanna watch the chef prepare food without feeling dizzy. Just put the damn camera on a tripod and place it where I can watch the chef do his preparations. Goddamn Eater is that too much to ask for?
Great vid🤙
Japanese skills and top natural food🤙
One of the least pretentious sushi chefs I’ve seen interviewed.
James Pang most aren’t to be honest. Especially on this channel they are all very humble
"The kindest way for the lobster is to do it quickly with a knife"
Proceeds to rip off the lobster's tail without killing it.
lol
Lmao
He already severed the leg and the head in that 2 slice.
Wow, amazing. I'm lost for words.
I love this series so much 😍

I kinda feel bad for that Ise-ebi not gon lie.
Removing guts decreases shipping weight.
and increases cost because of more work on the fish before shipping
@@MrSimonsime it could be done as a service though to maintain the customers of suppliers as to differentiate or something in that ballpark
It is also to preserve the fish as well. Bacteria in the guts will ruin the fish.
This dude knows stuff ab fish that’s mindblowing
Love the precision, attention to detail and the beautiful craftsmanship. This is not just food, it is art.
9:40 lobster still alive after being split in half.
