    He has a great, fun vibe; but you can tell he takes his work seriously. Lightly dusting fresh grated wasabi off into that bowl of noodles and then seeing it made my mouth water. His dishes look simple, but there's an elegance to them. Just amazing.

      I think that's grated yuzu rind. Wasabi would look very wet and mushy by comparison.

    Some of the Sushi chefs I see in youtube videos intimidate me, they seem so stoic, so traditional and refined to the point of being just a tad scary- but this fellow gives off such a friendly warmth! I would not be too intimidated or scared to eat at this chef's restaurant, he seems like such a kind person and yet also very professional.

      Yeah, he's actually good for the hospitality industry.
      Like if he were a bartender, you'd definitely be more likely to be a regular in that bar. If he ran an izakaya, where he was cooking and talking to customers, he'd have a long line of regulars.

    The Tsumoto method is a technique that is starting to become the standard in Japan, starting with UA-cam, and it greatly improves the taste of fresh fish.
    Immediately after the fish is brought ashore, the guts and blood, which are prone to decomposition and oxidation, must be removed as soon as possible.
    By completely draining the blood from the fish, the flavorful ingredients remain in the fish's muscles, which greatly improves the taste of the fish for sushi.
