Anyone else just adore the clean, zen, and simple aesthetic of Japan? I can’t wait to explore the cuisine of Japan. Thanks for creating a beautiful look into this art form 💜
In the West we are masters of industrialisation and mass production, however it has come at the cost of us losing much of our skill and appreciation of hand-crafted arts and trades, including food production, however in Japan they have maintained their reverence for the skills of the hand and respect for the importance of pleasing the eye, to nourish the soul.
There are more than enough artisans in western countries who make very exclusive and traditional products. Like many of these japanese artisans, they create luxury products for prestige more than anything else, and most people will never be able (or willing) to consume these products.
Likely the same way you would test plants if you were in an extreme survival situation. You'd watch animals and see if they ate the plant and then like you'd take different parts of the plant, smush it up and first try rubbing it on your skin and seeing what happens after some time, then try smushing some and holding it in the bend of your elbow. If you've gotten no reaction, you'd try touching it to your lips then touching it to your tongue then chewing without swallowing and then after hours of that, you'd eat a very small bit and seeing what happens after like 8-12 hours. So say you tried that with fugu. You'd never get to the swallowing stage if you took the fugu liver since the toxins would immediately numb your lips and tongue.
I've eaten fugu in Osaka before but I didnt know it was Fugu then since I couldnt understand the kanji in the course menu. Only after eating did our host informed us it was fugu. It was an okay taste for me.
people just dont understand the culture behind this. its said its eaten for special events in life. dont be so rude and misunderstanding to another's culture and way of life.
If something is incredibly stupid and dangerous in American culture the whole world makes fun of us for it as they should. Same principle applies here, you don’t have to be disrespectful about it but at the same time don’t be dishonest that these people are making stupid choices
Ugh, the comments are just :/. Fugu isn't for everyone to cook that's why this video has trained veteran fugu chef to show you there's a complex process to serve fugu, it's a delicacy not for everyday supper like Michelin fancy restaurant. Click the CC button and read, some of you just won't try. You don't want to? Yeah, just pass. Get a life.
This is a big fugu. As much as I love eating them in Japan, Chinese way of cooking fugu gives more taste, especially the liver. Farm raised fugu fish have no poison, making the risk of eating poisonous fugu unjustifiable.
Love the way the video is put together. No background music, no wizardry. Just raw footage
You didn't have captions on?
big fan of this lowkey style of video
Interesting. I was going to comment that I definitely did not. I don't need music blasting etc, but there definitely needs to be commentary.
@@BigJaseNZ turn on captions

Meh, like any place they have some delicious dishes but overall I'd say Japanese food is wildly overrated... And yeah Ive been to Japan.
8:15 it's insane how clean the fryer is
Great doc on this fugu master! Phenomenal sound design, really lets you breathe in the moment the sounds of artistry.
thank you for respecting the footage. I like it. its refreshing.
reusing hot pot broth for porridge? i love that concept!
beautiful ritual, thanks for sharing
Being an 80s kid, immediately Homer Simpson comes to mind.
Fugu Me!!!!
Poison, poison...tasty fish!
My skilled hands are busy! You do it!
@shanerankin7085 Miss Crabappel was gittin it gittin it!!
This is culinary mastery at its highest.

Japan is about to enter the worst financial crisis in its modern history due to their culture. But go on. Please. Talk more about them.
The door slide in the end is excellent, wish i could get my hand to one of those 😅
I actually really love this style of video!
Wow, it's amazing experience, thank you chef!
This is art
Its so fun to watch whem its butchering the fugu
I consider puffer fish sashimi to be truly perfect and the best dish ever!
Interesting to me is how people discovered that you can eat some parts of this fish but not all. And how to putcher it.
Trial and error, and a lot of deaths probably

How do you putcher a fish?
Bon apetit just straight out inspired by the Japanese food prep channels huh
Great video. Bit sad that the one knife (11:42) I really wanted to know what it was, didn't get a name 😅
Interesting stuff
Thank you chef
This was a great video!!! ❤❤❤
Poison, poison, poison.. oooh, tasty fish!

Ive heard it gives your mouth a tingle. That would be wild.
Volevo mettere mi piace al video...poi mi sono accorto di averlo già fatto

Misunderstanding implies people are wrong about the risks being there
No worse than moonshine and inbreeding

Everyone does it to other countries, why should japan get special treatment?
Worry about your own actions and if you don’t like what someone else says ignore them, like adults USED to do prior victim hood becoming currency. 😘
How lovely!
Poisonous fish: I'm dangerous, no could eat me haha
Japan: hmm, how should I cook it?
Wow, that’s ridiculous and insane that people would eat such dangerous things like that so casually. **Takes swig of alcohol.**
Ah yes Japan, where everything is premium and requires 80 years to master.
Makes sense when you realize everything is done to perfection.
Not everything I'd say, but surely dealing with ultra poisonous fish SHOULD require it
❤ Excellent❤❤❤
Amazing video
Nah I’m cool with sea bass, salmon, mackerel and her friends
Great video!!
Love your content guys ❤❤
i will never understand how the discovered which parts were poisonous and which weren’t
Trial and error
@@shroomer3867so true. Mushrooms were the same way. Lots of errors.
Love thisssss
How in the bananas did the first person figure out which part is poisonous... trial and error?
It must've been the person that watched them eat the fish warn everyone else 😂
Same way people tried smoking different plants until one got them high.
I wonder what is price
My question is ,if he trained for years who did he train on to master his delicacy?
Wow.
What if bro mistook the poisonous membrane for one of the four other layers of skin 😭😭😭🤣
I just can't see how this could be worth the risk
How many people died in the process of figuring out what parts are edible vs not
If it's dangerous, why isn't he using gloves? I assume it can enter his body through a small cut or cuticle?
I'll never need to taste a fish so bad that I'll risk accidental poisoning lol
I still don’t understand why the skin is only served to customers in special cases
fascinating
Im one in a millions and im not risking it!
Is it just me or is the sound balance really bad? I'm trying to adjust the volume level and either I can't hear it properly or it hurts my ears.
I got no narrative at all, only subtitles
@@sergeyk6136 It's a stylistic choice boys, and the video is better for it.
It’s you. Whenever someone asks “Is it just me”, it’s always them.
This don’t look appetizing enough for me to risk me life LOL
No mention of the Shanghai Fugu Agreement?

can anyone explain why he is cutting it without gloves if its that dangerous?
I am guessing this type of pufferfish is only poisonous when ingested. otherwise that chef would not have lasted the length of the video ^^
Farm grown Fugu are not poisonous, chill. 😂
“eat my poison fish, brother”
Please check the sound.
Turn on the subtitles
The sound is fine.
Of all the chefs who you'd think would wear gloves...
Chill, it’s all yours buddy! 👌🏻
I love this no talking format too!!
❤
with how poisonous it is, why don't they wear gloves
🤤
Most people criticizing are Americans or Europeans lmao so who cares about their options . Especially Americans.
Yay. Poison fish.
How would he know what us rats 🐭 would or would not eat?
This is a big fugu. As much as I love eating them in Japan, Chinese way of cooking fugu gives more taste, especially the liver. Farm raised fugu fish have no poison, making the risk of eating poisonous fugu unjustifiable.
no gloves is wild
👍🏿
🫣
Maybe include a separate audio track for listeners? Great video though.
simpsons
Looks like monkfish
No.
And the first person to try it is themselves to pass
No need to eat this fish. There are plenty of other things to eat in life. Unnecessarily complicated.
the poison doesn't get on his Glove FREE hands????????( organ removal and membrane)😱🧐
NOPE :3
Test
Why eat something like this?
"ChEf TrAInED fOr YeArS tO cOoK tHiS fIsH" meanwhie them boys in florida cookin them up their first time catch and cook haha
Not all pufferfish are poisonous and their level of poison varies
Fugu is overrated. Once you had it in sashimi form there really is no other reason to have it second time.
Hope his knife is clean.
Why wouldn’t it be?
ok sure but why?
Ikr.. just leave such fishes alone😂😂
But why not?
Why do we eat certain things that other people don’t? Some people don’t eat pork. Some people don’t eat beef. Just respect people’s food choices.
He serve 3 people a day.
I think you guys are missing the narration track?
it's just captions
Is that a question?
I sometimes wonder if Fugu restaurant sells those poisonous organs somewhere
Nope, they’re required by law to dispose of it in a special hazardous waste container
@@MaryJane-fr8rx I know, read/ see the vid. I mean I wonder if some "naughty" chef sell those to black market or something
There are so many other poisonous things in the ocean there are better ways to get your hands on something
@@hafirenggayuda No.
Boy they really need some music & mood lighting for ambiance in there!!! What a snooze!!!
coudnt afford a narrator?
none for me, thank you.
probably have to re-upload the video; there's no narration
turn on the captions
@@mariaanmo why? there's no narration
@@duo315 It's better without spoken narration. This is the intended style of the video.
@@Bringadingus says who
@@duo315 A smarter person than you
no bread really?...
why would you not have audio to explain and have subtitles instead? Are you that cheap now?
Don’t ever make a video like this again. I want to watch and listen. Not read.
