I went to the restaurant today. He told me that when vice media came to him they said that they were going to use actors to taste the sushi. He refused and requested that the camera man was the one to taste it. This explains why he’s not the most animated guy.
Very interesting! Explains why he seemed so nervous that he would "mess up"!
josh porter source or it didn’t happen you f
If this is true, well that really explains everything. It was a smart move for the chef to let him taste his food to really get a genuine judgement, but his anxiety kinda ruined it though
My child liked sushi he doesnt like soy sauce or extra stuff he was eating it when he was about two....he started with avacado rolls plain and then started eating different kinds
He also really looked like he hated sushi. Lol
“Only shake it in the men’s room,
*looks at camera*
Hi, Hello”
LMAO
I know right I died. master chef and comedian!
I'll be here all week
That was really good ngl. Sneaky little sushi master.
"I'll be here all week" 🤣
That caught me off guard, sides hurt lol
I love this chef’s character and sense of humor. Such an awesome blend of reverence for history and tradition with a more modern sense of humor and acceptance of other cultures and education.
Incredible sense of humor!
I worked in a sushi bar with a chef who trained under Jiro Ono. His take on eating sushi was; "It's your sushi, eat it the way that makes you happy."
I like this philosophy. I've been enjoying sushi for 35 years now and have owned and operated 2 sushi bars.
The one thing I would recommend to my customers is to not use chopsticks unless you are really good at them, otherwise there's a chance the sushi I worked hard at and they're paying for will end up on the floor.
Let me ask you a question, the chef in the video says don't mix the wasabi in the soy sauce because the flavors should be separated, and usually the chef has already put wasabi in the roll. I am just getting into sushi and have been to some very good restaurants, and never have I seen a roll served with wasabi already in it. So if the wasabi is not already in the roll and you are not supposed to mix it in the soy sauce, what is the best most authentic way to put the wasabi on the roll? BTW, I am very much aware that this is a perfect example of a first world problem.
@@davidsheriff9274 Some sushi chefs do put wasabi in the rolls, but most don't. It really depends on the sushi bar.
I personally add the wasabi to my soy sauce (although my wife says that I put soy sauce in my wasabi).
As for tradition, putting a little wasabi on the fish and then dipping the fish, not the rice, into the soy sauce is considered proper.
@@michaelg.294 You wrote that you mix the wasabi in the soy sauce., I need to inform you that I have just called the sushi police, and you will be taken to sushi jail where you will be sharing a cell with a guy that used a fork, and a guy who putt A 1 Steak Sauce on everything. You're doing 5-10, the guy with the fork is doing 25-life and the steak sauce guy is getting the chair.
@@davidsheriff9274 As long as I get the top bunk!
I was impressed at how well this guy handled them for being an amateur. My dad started me on chopsticks at the same time as a fork.
“Don’t shake it. Only in the mens room”. - sushi master 😂
only for guys and gurls he said, listen closer
@@SSDavyS It wasn't 'gurl', it was 'go'.
best part of this vid' lmao
When you think about it it's probably like a Japanese guy shaking a fry after he dips it in the sauce.
Took me a few seconds to get that😂
That dude is probably gonna go home and order pizza and wings and watch some family guy to overcome this culture shock that he just had.
nothing wrong with any of that lol
The guy is probably respecting what the chef does, nonetheless i would shut up and listen to him rather than bicker how good sushi tastes
Omg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has PTSD
Post Traumatic Sushi Disorder
He was being respectful
Man this is my dream to try this exact sushi 😍
Have you not tried to eat sushi?

Honestly, I don't blame him.
From the first time I enjoyed sushi I always figured that the pickled ginger was for cleansing your palate between different entrees and for not having smelly post-sushi breath.
My respect for this chef... I learned a lot just in a few minutes. I'm going to be following his instructions next time we go for sushi!
Chef? He sells raw bats. Doesn't cook anything.
you'll shake only when you go to the restroom I hope.lol
The Sushi Chef sounds like a very nice man actually.
***** But some Japanese horror stories...

zeebazu Maybe lol :D
+HaohmaruHL Yeah ... and then you have things like Bukake, school girl "culture" ...

Tried my first sushi this past New Year’s Eve. The chef is right. It’s almost impossible to explain what’s going on inside your mouth. Absolutely delicious.
They put MGS on it. It is all fake. lol!
@@haylobos8261 maybe low grade restaurants, high end sushi doesn't need to as there is enough natural MSG in the soy sauce and seaweed. Idk how the other ingredients can be considered "fake" lol

i keep replaying it lmao

I loved your sushi lesson, so many delicate and detailed ways to experience each type. 💞
Thanks for this lesson, this guy is so lucky to have such a 1 on 1 experience with you 🧡🍂

@@aidanf8632 what did he say?
Paraphrasing: “This is just for men when they are finished in the men’s room.”
And don't forget to say "Hi, hello" and laugh snarkily, afterwards.
🤣 Good sense of humor!
The sushi chef was just providing some tips to best enjoy sushi! he had a good sense of humour too and I hope people don't take it as too "imposing" in any sense. I'm sure he wouldn't fault you if you prefer eating sushi in other ways.
He should cook his bats. Then he can make demands on how it is to be eaten. Raw MGS bats, bleggh!
Oh my!!! It all looked amazingly delicious, but also loved learning all of these traditions. Thanks to the chef, “Arigato gozaimasu”
The Chef is that Father-in-law that you really don't wanna disappoint
Bro you exactly nailed it.
This is the best description of him I've heard so far
There's always that successful, award-winning, employee of the month for 50 years kind of father-in-law....... and then there's you, the undergrad son-in-law
Not laughing at his jokes isn’t helping lol
Having a Japanese father in law is not very different overall. It's next level don't want to disappoint overall.
you know its 3 am when you are watching a sushi video , while being allergic to fish
xXxCodemasterxXx I'm so sorry. I eat sushi all the time. You can live vicariously through me XD
xXxCodemasterxXx All sushi dishes arent made with fish...
Hydrogen Productionz The good stuff is made with fish. I think the egg stuff is gross. Oh there are chicken teriyaki rolls..
lol i also watch this vid at 3am xD

James Appel if your “Canadian” as if that place exists, why are you speaking American? Curious.
@@ciusconly5277 Canada is north of the American Border... I can drive and take a bridge to NY state where our borders meet... And yes we speak "English" just like Americans because we are both originally colonies from the same mother country- England... We also speak French because of Quebec and the French who settled there, so we are bilingual, because we are taught both languages in school. And America is bilingual too but with Spanish because they share the border with them too, and they are the fastest growing demographic in America right now... The more you know!
Love the chef's humor!! High quality sushi AND entertainment! LOL
Sometimes we have roll your own sushi night at my fam's. I cringe when I see everyone just mix different fish, throw in some ginger, make a THICK fake wasabi/soy mixture and slather it on like bbq sauce, etc. I try to get them to actually taste and enjoy the food, but they're just so "rude"!
I would also add chimichurri to some ginger, a THICC fake wasabi/soy mixtura and OM NOM NOM NOM
I learned a lot here. Thank you for sharing.

The way he cuts sushi - that's some samurai shit
we can tell he trained so much using a real katana for this xD
He does it like that so the rice dont stick to the knife.
I need japanese steel
The way he cut the sushi, made me think of him as a japanese version of salt bae cutting meat.
I'M WHEEZING
Wow. I own a sushi restaurant and I still learned something new from this master.
What a great guy and chef he is. I'd love to have him prepare sushi for me and explaining some things (even though I know it all already). Good vibes!
I'm surprised he didn't tell the (camera man?) to turn the sushi so the topping - the fish in this case - hits the tounge first though but I guess he was easy on the guy!
“Don’t shake it”
*Shaking intensifies*
😞
😂😂😂
Matthew Chavarria “like shaking “it” in the men’s bathroom.. “

watching Master Yasuda doing this and explaining how to do it properly is making me sooooo hungry !!! love sushi and it would be a honour to try Yasuda´s sushi at least once in my lifetime...
Excellent content and learning!
I don’t see anything wrong with the guy who is eating the sushi. The chef is the star of the show and the guy is just listening and giving quiet feedback. Seems reasonable to me
He is a master of his craft and has a restaurant with one table - so that he may cook for you.
He asks that you enjoy the food a certain way.
It would be an honour to have him cook for you
Finally someone says it 🙌🏼
That's how omakase work
The problem was that he was being way to submissive for a man lol
The customer was being very respectful of the sushi chef. He listened attentively to what was said, and did his best to follow the instructions. He did well. The Japanese are extremely respectful people and appreciate it in return.
"Shaking is for the men's room."

I love this chef’s sense of humor! 😂❤
Great video and equally great comments!
I think these "rules" are less of a snobbish thing and more of a common sense thing from the culture's perspective. Here's an analogy: Let's say you were served spaghetti with meat sauce and a side salad. If you were to mix the spaghetti and salad together, people would think you're being silly. That's the same thing with mixing together the wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce. You don't use a spoon and knife to eat the noodles and salad, you use a fork. Similarly, there's the natural way to use your fingers/utensils and the silly way when it comes to sushi. You don't douse your salad in ranch, you just use enough for a light coating on each leaf. Similarly, you don't dunk the sushi in soy sauce.
Good analogy. Ppl who want to eat sushi the way they please should do it at home with their $5 sushi pack from Walmart or a cheap establishment. When you're dining in a high class sushi bar like in the video, following the rules should be a no-brainer.
.
.
I totally agree. On top of it being a cultural perspective, there is the practicality of it all - the general population eats the sushi a specific way because it makes the most sense. Dipping it sushi (rice) side down only results in soggy, over salted rice that falls apart before it even hits your mouth. And as u are placing the sushi fish-side down on ur tongue (as u have it inverted for dipping already), the fish and soy sauce are the first to hit ur tongue. That means u actually taste more of what u are eating. I have learned this from watching a similar video many years ago and can attest to the fact that it really does make it more enjoyable.
+asdfrozen Very well put.
You shake ONLY when finishing in the men's room. Noted.
Lmao
This chef is the Master Splinter of sushi 🍣 ... #IMADEAFUNNY
He cracked so hard at his joke. And I cracked at him cracking. xD
at 4:31? absolute gold
Shake only when finished at Men's Bathroom 😂
That was hallarious coming from the chef, Glad to know he has a sence of humor and isn't a Sushi Nazi "No Sushi For You, "One Year"
I was drooling the whole entire video. It all looked fantastic.
Chalk this up to: Learn something new every day! "Tilted Sushi" - makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE! and props to the camera man for going along with being the Taste Tester - thought his responses were genuine along with the Sushi Chef's personality. Great stuff!
He had a restaurant in NY City that still bears his name, although he is no longer there: Sushi Yasuda.
One evening, my then girlfriend and I turned up at around 5:30pm, before the dinner rush. We sat at the counter and were served by Chef Yasuda. It was not only the best sushi I have ever eaten, it was the best food. Absolutely breathtaking
Did you let him see you touching your sushi with ginger?
You possibly were super hungry too. Everything tastes better when you are hungry.
@@babycakes8434 Uhm, assume much?
Things like that are what I miss about living in Manhattan, but it's not enough to make me want to move back

Someone Who Likes Riverdale this comment is V underrated
Don’t shake it!
Shaking is for when you finish at the men’s room!
David Pumpkini Oops, your comment seems to have teleported from 1950. Maybe you made a wrong turn at the Mickey Rooney scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's?
(Seriously though, who finds that funny. And why is it always monolinguals who find milk too spicy and anything outside of green bean casserole "too exotic" that are mocking someone's accent? lol)
David Pumpkini I'm sorry, I'm not able to give you the attention your parents didn't.
Also, I'm hoping you'll try this in front of an Asian bodybuilder in the near future and see if they find your act as funny as you do.
David Pumpkini This level of fixation is fascinating.
I'd be impressed with your level of commitment if we weren't talking about your use of a stereotype used to dehumanize, mock, and exclude Asian Americans.
While you find them to be comic relief, stereotypes do tangible harm. They aren't just jokes, they influence human behavior and societal treatment of marginalized groups.

Thanks Chef, simply but so meaningfull
Love from south Africa ❤️ thank you for the video
Sushi chef is so nice and charming! Amateur eater is quite boring and not engaged at all. He seemed bored and intimidated by the food he's eating. lol They should have chosen someone who actually ENJOYS eating sushi and had more insight on what their eating from this epic sushi chef. He looked completely unimpressed and looked like he wanted to vomit after every bite.
+Arshia D
To be honest, I took it as him being camera shy. I often act like that if someone is taking a video or a picture. Of course, that doesn't mean he is camera shy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he's unimpressed or not enjoying it. It could be a whole lot of different things, ranging from all of it simply being new, to simply not knowing what to think of the various tastes. Even someone who enjoys sushi in general may not like all kinds, after all.
Also, the point may have been to have someone who doesn't have much insight, as the video is about how to eat sushi. It's likely they were trying to find someone the audience may relate to. That's all just my opinion though.
+Arshia D - The amateur eater looks a bit intimidated. I'd probably be the same knowing that I know basically zero about sushi edicate.
+Mark Macmillan i agree, the sushi chef would have intimidated me even if though he didnt try to at all. I feel like the eater didnt really know what to say.
+Arshia D he was British. Their excessive politeness gets in their own way. But he was cute though
+Arshia D Yeah. Even if it was someone who hadn't had much or any sushi before, they could have at least picked someone with some Charisma who could properly interact with the chef.
"It is sweet"
"Yeah, like you"

Awesome Sushi chef. One day I will visit Tokyo Japan and have sushi. Thank you for sharing.
this was made before content creation was big but it's refreshing to have a host laid back/introverted enough to let the guest shine and still make a great video
All you giving the guy eating a hard time... he was just respecting the position he was put in. He was very respectful to Yasuda, who seemed to like the gentleman’s company and set the tone for the interaction.The guy made a comment at the end about the sushi starting sweet, and Yasuda said “Sweet like you! Haha” so obviously he was happy with the experience too.
John Allen thank you! I don’t understand why everyone is bashing him.
Stefan G Why you gotta make it about race bruh
...and I thought he wanted a tryst when he said "sweet, like you." 😊
It was his 2nd reference after the joke about men shaking after urinating in the mens room .
Silly me!💫
He deserves a hard time. He is a totally normal, boring guy. These shows are for entertainment purposes and he was not entertaining at all.
Nini LaRouge because he’s not being loud and obnoxious and a lot of Americans find quietness intimidating
Wait, you put sushi in your mouth? I've been eating it all wrong!
I don't even want to know where you were eating it then ROFLMAO.
Ever watched that South Park episode when they shit through their mouth?
DUH! Yes I know.
lol
haha i guess the whole purpose of this video is to show you how to eat it with manner, because in japan having manner is the most important thing
Enjoyed it so much. Not sure if I agree about being so rule driven when eating the sushi. To this point I like brown gravy on my chips (french fries). I also liked them drenched in malt vinegar or even ketchup… crikey which is correct. It depends how my taste buds are working at the time.
I always learn something new everyday.
They could've gotten a different person to try out the sushi. This guy was like dead lol, didn't look like he was enjoying anything
It was because he was Murican, So he is uncultured. To him, it's gotta be like a McD burger ... such a sad nation :(
Neil McMahon like most people who don't live in japan are uncultured, it has nothing to do with being american. Plus he's not american, he sounds like he's from the UK to me.
Gene McBeats exactly, its so weird that nobody gets this simple fact. That's why the chef said "sweet, like you" because the guy was so afraid to say something wrong, and just handling everything with respect.
Exactly what Gene McBeats said. Being in front of a Chef, especially a Japanese Chef, there's a lot of honor and respect. You never want to disrespect both the Chef or the culture. It's a bit nerve wracking. This coming from a Culinary Student.
what are you talking about he's being respectful.
Do you eat hamburgers with chopsticks? Or pour ketchup in pho? Sure, you can eat food however you like, but there are cultural norms on how certain food is consumed, even for those people who are defiant in claiming that you should "eat food however you like".
+JoeBlo2 Yeah, a lot of people believe that this kind of behavior is an act of rebellion, but actually they are being loud and disrespectful. Of course i'm gonna be a slob when i'm eating at home, but when i'm at a formal event or a fancy restaurant i'll follow the rules.
This is the most ridiculous comparison. We don't eat hamburgers with chopsticks because it is almost impossible to. Not even the Japanese follow these many rules when they eat. Only people of "high class" are this absurd when it comes to eating sushi.
oijiohiup I was only using an exaggerated example to highlight the fact that everybody adheres to some form of dining etiquette.
+JoeBlo2 You said exactly the contrary.
I eat hamburgers with chopsticks, and eat ketchup in pho.
I eat ginger on sushi, and mix it with soy sauce.
I eat ice cream with forks, and put yogurt on toast.
At one point, a man decided to put meat between buns, ginger in vinegar, and ice cream in waffle cones. Culture is constantly evolving; there is no such thing as a cultural norm, but there is such thing as a cultural innovation. Eat things if they are new and novel, because that's how the "norm" becomes the norm.
Teaching how to eat sushi and gives the guy wasabi first🤣 then cut the part he probably coughed with tears.
Thank you for providing me with so much laughter and inspiration now I wanna visit Japan!

You want to stab the fish with your chopstick and wave it around your head to air dry the surface of it. After that, you pour a cup of soy sauce for yourself and let the sushi marinate in it for a few minutes. After that, you need to savor it by eating it in as many bites as possible. It's like munchies doesn't even do their research.

that doesn't even make sense and you can't just call someone autistic unless you are just being sarcastic

Yeah, if you're from another country then you wouldn't understand.
Expatriate Darkleer
What do you mean Another Country?! Understand what hmm tell me...
+Expatriate Darkleer That was such an ignorant thing to say
So educational. I am glad that I have known all of the rules.
Thank you chef!
I like the chef. Funny dude.
Herman Melville I think I saw him on Anthony Bourdain's show. He used to have a sushi restaurant in New York and used to participate in underground fighting. I think the guy's a karate black belt too.
crazyazndriver23 That makes me like him even more. If I'm ever in Japan I'm definitely checking his spot out.
Herman Melville Well he talks about how he synchronizes martial arts with his way of making sushi. It actually is truly beautiful seeing the kinetic link between being a chef and being a martial artist.
Herman Melville I almost died when he said shaking is for the mens room.
Herman Melville He competed in kyokushin, which is the karate equivalent of bare knuckle boxing.
He's also currently training as a body builder and looking to compete at Tokyo events.
When he lived in New York, his favorite places were Irish bars. He loved the atmosphere and how the bartender served drinks and talked to all the customers. It's why his restaurant only has 8 seats, so he can always talk to all his customers.
I really, REALLY don't understand why people are so mad at quiet respectfulness.
Yeah he seems very sweet
Str8 up. Reading some of the comments I was expecting the dude to look openly uncomfortable and act extremely awkwardly. This is what you get when the typical American encounters someone who is soft spoken. It literally doesn't compute in their brains that you don't have to be super fucking loud ALL THE TIME. Dude was just quiet and attentive. Quietness doesn't = lack of personality, Attentiveness doesn't = awkwardness.

agreed, the comments on this video are so moronic(present company excluded) makes me ashamed to call myself a member of the same species, i thought the video was informative, and the guy eating was respectful.
@@Tr4newreck it's alright bro we're not all cunts
How sweet the chef ❤️ I wish I could experience that ✨🙏🏻
Very informative! I never knew that you should turn the sushi on its side to eat ... I also dip too much in the soy sauce. Thanks for the lesson!
I love how the chef speaks so clearly with his japanese accent.
Kind of an underhanded compliment... just say you like his accent.
I love how the chef speaks English even though he's Japanese, and English isn't his first language
He lived in usa for 25 years.
*creary
But 20 plus million Hispanics can’t learn English
If you eat it wrong the chef will stab you with a knife and I know this from experience, so be thankful and take this lessons to heart!
Marcus Aseth Yeah. If you don't take these lessons to heart, the knife will take you through heart amirite lolololol im not funny ;-;
Salmon Fish Better to the heart than through the heart
Sometimes they're more cunning than that. Instead of stabbing you they'll just feed you fugu without the usual preparations.
jimpozcaner oh...that explains the nausea...shit
Marcus Aseth ur profile pic matches with ur comment 😂
I love how imperfect the roll looked.
I love sushi with all of my heart and soul. I enjoy eating the eel sushi and the soft shell crab sushi especially!! ❤❤❤
Why is the taster eating like there's a Yakuza hitman behind him ready to shoot if he says something wrong?
Because a Yakuza Hitman was behind him
No shooting. Just losing a finger. Or two.
That was gay and awkward.
The answer is: He's nervous.
To my understanding that is very polite in Japanese culture. If he had just munched down without hesitation, i bet the chef would've been rolling his eyes. Baka gaijin.
I love the vibe of this sushi chef, he is on point, firm in the rules but has a lot of humor as well, he is an amazing teacher!
Oh that’s so good Boaz. I was worried you wouldn’t like him as we all were.
I know. He shows that japanese people be very warm and nice despite all the rule following strictness
I love this & I LOVE THIS SUSHI CHEF
I never knew you should eat it with your hands like that. Informative video.
