“If I didn’t tell you it was a flounder you’d probably think it was some sort of jack fish.” Me, who knows almost nothing about fish: ah yes, exactly what I was thinking
Fish is fish 😂😂
me who never heard of jackfish before: ah yes of course
“It’s like a marriage between husband and wife.”
*cuts off arms and legs
😂
That crab is like a blue crab.... to better see the sex whether male or female is to look on the bottom not the top
Go to your asian market you will see
smallnumbers36 yeah it sounds really weird and creepy
That was fckn savage hahahaha
Who makes the thick knife U use? Great video!
I thought he gonna say irrashaimase or something in korean but he hit us with "hi, welcome" 😂
😂😂😂
Isnt “irrashaimase” japanese?
@@ong2547 yes, I mean he learned the sushi making skill in Japan. I thought he'd adopt the culture of Japanese sushi bar by shouting irrashaimase to the customer 😂
IKR. I thought he was gonna say eeradoomashay or something
Yeah when i go to Japanese restaurants they always yell 'it all washing machine' when i walk in
Dad must be so proud that his son picked up what he loved.
Son probably had no choice
Bruh
@@900bz asian kid can confirm
I made your comment 100 likes! :D
I haven't seen a clam smacked that hard since high school.
Why I'm laughing at this? 😂
that was good haha
Took me a while...
🤣🤣🤣
Oh yeah
The way he slapp that clam was perfection.
twas a naughtly clam
@@AssafLavie thaughty
I thought a heard tom yelling afterwards
That sushi had flair.
*CRIES IN INSTANT RAMEN*
What type of insta ramen tho?
When youre in college
Mine where in boba!
Lmao!!!!
You could find out the crab flavoured ramen in korea which proved to be perfect enough as a proper meal Instead of having ordinary dishes
Crazy for this to come out just a couple weeks after it was announced that Kura would be closing so that the property owners could demolish it for a multi-use apartment space. What a shame.
For real?
Really?
Daaaamn
Daaamn son
They’ll open their restaurant at another location. It’s going to be difficult and stressful but what else can they do? Give up? I doubt they’ll do that.
Wow this guy knows his seafood. Perfect combo of his own heritage infused with Japanese cuisine.
alansmith888
Japanese cuisine has adopted Korean food before. Popular Japanese food mentaiko (spicy fish roe) is from Korean myeongnan-jeot. There are other foods Japan adopted from Korean cuisine but they’re not seafood.
@@hindsightpov4218 never heard of that
Dunk Milk
I learned that from watching the original Iron Chef. My reaction was, “Whoah, really?”
Blue crab is American
@wood wood Blue Crab can't be "traditional Korean Cuisine"
I like how this guy fights his enemies with a squid's cuttlebone
Cuttle bone?
My mate told me his dad is a chef, turns out he fries chicken at kfc
Chubnubbs A true master chef, lmao.
KFC is much better than this
骚味干爹super sexy sugar daddy obviously you’ve never had good crab
@@defaultprofilepic3752 I grew up in a seaside city, crabs? I know better than most people.
@@supersexyvirginboy9384 maybe you just had enough of that crab😂
You know he's Korean when he swirls the soju bottle before opening it.
thats because no one else want to drink soju .... I think
I drank lots of soju while stationed in Korea. I don’t remember much though lol
@@atmark666 dont drink it pure, trow it in your beer !
David Hampton blueberry soju from the Ville was amazing
@@juliusraben3526 you can have soju pure you just need to have it in shots. Even better dilute it with a sweet juice, nectar, or syrup for a good cocktail.
Sushi chef: Pulls out spine from a squid.
"This is what I'm fighting my enemies with"
Me: Okey...
Yeah, how about mentioning him saying that the spine looks like a Sharp sword? Dumbass..
@@alkololer1v654 whoosh

People are too quick to judge, but being an Aussie, I travel 40 minutes from home just to enjoy this delicacy here and there and it's incredible!!!!
that man just slapped that clam and resurected it
I watched this with a smile on my face from beginning to end. What an awesome guy. I loved hearing about him and his upbringing and how he has such a great relationship with his dad.
I love the husband/wife ganjang gyejang as part of his menu, paying homage to his Korean roots and food culture while also showing deep respect to traditional Japanese techniques. Beautiful presentation and skill.
Korean, sushi chef, " hi welcome" lmfao you got me! I found his greeting funny for some reason.
I never seen a shusi chief with smiley face except this one. Love it
This guy is living the american dream doing what he loves. The passion and love for his food is truely inspiring
Something to be said about not being Japanese and taking your natural heritage for granted. His humility and thirst for knowledge has propelled him to the next level. Inspiring.
Literally just pulled a fish out of the squid like... man.
Is there like a music list somewhere for the omakase series? The music consistently rocks.
Don’t know the song but people like vox, great big story use emi productions
I love his story and narration.
Marinated raw crab is absolutely delicious. I wish Japanese cuisine would adopt it as a sushi so I could order it when I’m in a Japanese sushi restaurant. 🦀
HindsightPOV why not just make it yourself
I don't know. It looks good but also many Koreans shared it cause quite a number of food poisoning incidents.
@@alldud13 cause i Dont wanna have the work. Just eat. I wont waste 1 day and 40 minutes to make a dozen goddamn sushi from a grab that i had to spend 2 days finding.
@@fez877 Only causes for that is poor preparation i.e. not fermented long enough. That indicates whoever prepared it do not know wtf they are doing
This is Art. Even I don't eat it it's so beautiful to watch the process. Such an awesome craft
Thats so nice! There are many korean families that are still hesitant about japanese culture and Japan because of what happened in the last 150 years between both cultures. But this proves that people can overcome their cultural hesitations. Way to go!
Im mexican american but i highly appreciate all of the worlds cuisines.
No you don't
Good for you?
9:41 just in case ur wondering when he slapped the clam since everyone’s talking about it
Thank you
you: *walks in*
him: *looks up* Hi, welcome... *get's back on doing his stuff*
Isnt that what we all do?
2:26 secret sauce: marinate garlic, soy sauce, citrus, hint of sweetness, quite nice
There’s probably also some ginger, sugar and vinegar in there as well.
@@hindsightpov4218 It's not a pickled crab... You shall not put vinegar in ganjang gejang.
Its bunch of herbs and mild spices that makes you think its a Smokey taste
I had this in Korea several times, it is phenomenal. Easily my favourite dish on the planet.
"this is what I fight my enemies with" got me there haha
He is American korean and serves Japanese food
Mr Worldwide
I expect some history behind this but yeah Mr Worldwide
This man is so devoted. I'd love to visit his establishment one day.
Jin Wei you better be quick, they have announced that they are closing! It’s so sad
(´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
I love how he said mouthgasm lmao
Wow, Brings back memories of coming home from Chinatown with the parents and my dad teaching me how to prep and steam crab. Learned how to do that before I knew how to read. Fresh steamed crab with a dish of vinegar. Perfection.
I want to know how that shrimp crumble tastes. I was not expecting it to dry like that.
Man I love the marinated crab. Never thought of it with sushi but that would taste phenomenal
Thus Omekazi serie really made me addicted to Japanese food. From Morocco with Love.
That intro tho.. “................ “ hi welcome”.....
Me : “okeh”
Korean and Japanese food customs, what an inspiration. The sushi must be scrumptious !👌💕💕
6:46. I thought someone was laughing in the background 😂😂
DAMN HIS NAME IS DANIEL SON!!!! WAX ON, WAX OFF
Daniel looks like a really happy guy. Would love to pay a visit to his restaurant!
He slapped the Japanese out that clam 😂
Dude, if I had a super cool dad who I could make sushi with all the time, I would be so happy.
Gangjang gejang is the ultimate in raw delicacy. We have a raw crab with sea salt, hot chili peppers and crushed kukui nut in Hawaii which is similar but the ganjang gejang is far more flavorful, succulent and mouthwatering. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to use it the way this chef does. On the other hand, Koreans already use rice as a vehicle for this dish. But combining it in this way? Bravo!
I find this so enjoyable! Cool video
Amazing video * :)
Wow Daniel Son became a Sushi Master instead of a Karate Master,thing took a big turn!
This was so corny. Go home kid
@@user-jp4cj3ds7p ok,this is a free comment section but ok,ill pack my things
Correction: I'll pack your things so you can go home, oh wait I forgot you dont have a home well I guess you'll just have to get lost then!
man that's so cool to have a relationship like that with your father.
A Korean grew up in U.S and makes money by selling japanese food. You may as well call him Mr.Worldwide
*cough*
footballcoreano Here comes the super jelly Korean
I can tell you with certainty I would enjoy ever piece of sushi this chef made just because of his presentation. Man I miss good sushi 'it's not easy to find good sushi in the east Texas pines woods. We have to go into Dallas to enjoy real sushi at a place called Sushi Rock......Its also a father and son that are the chef's and they make incredible sushi. Best cold smoked Salmon you will ever have if anyone is ever in Dallas and wants excellent Chefs and even more spectacular sushi.........
A challenger approaches
"Good Afternoon"
David: "oh you're approaching me?"
Hiro: "if I can't get closer, I can't beat the crab out of you"
Watching while enjoying my instant noodles
i love that there are now a lot more sushi chefs that come from different backgrounds idk it just makes me smile
also i rlly wanna try ganjang gejang...i guess ill have to make it next year around april-may bc no one sells it in the ph
perfect combination. we always eat the ganjang gaejang with rice so it would make such a great sushi. though you would have to use top notch fresh crab bc low quality cheap crab would have slimy and watery meat texture.
Yup, you can tell fat, fresh plump crab flesh from even a day old crab. Absolutely can tell the difference.
IN MY VIEW
The Shrimp Crumble was fascinating! I loved this video. Everything about this Chef is inspiring.
Amazing sushi. This is my favorite sushi place in LA.
5:07 he got it perfectly with the music
If Daniel son chose the path to become a master sushi chef instead of a karate sensei
Holy Smokes I used to eat here like 4 times a week! Daniel and I have had many Sake shots together over time!
Yummy! Who's craving for some sashimi? :)
It is very important to keep that tradition going 👏
MR. MIYAGI IS PROUD OF YOU DANIEL SON
Damn the thumbnail made me think it was David Chang lol.
“Male meat with female roe.”
When the nut's so good, you just have to let the pie swim in with the cream.
@@ThePiratePaddy lol
Dats wadaya call a marriage babayyy *crab rave music in the background*
Psst, sounds like s*x... 🤫
Now I'm curious about what ingredients are inside of that secret tea bag! 🍵
IKR 🤔🤔
I heard there are a total of 11 herbs and spices in there.
garlic, onion, ginger, chilli, sesame seeds, pear/apple, lemon, on and on... anything they wanted, different peoples different ingredients, thats why its "secret"
Maybe it's beer
@@recoil53 that's a KFC thing right there 😏😏
This is amazing--- I love Sushi ...
All these weird comments about how people didn’t expect him to speak English is crazy
“If I didn’t tell you this was a flounder, you’d probably think this was a jackfish”
Tf is a jackfish
Black Jack (Caranx lugubris) google it
Something that looks like a flounder.
@sacvuvgefuis something that looks like a jack fish
@@miraclewhip4170 jackfish not only looks like a jackfish but it also tastes like one
I'm allergic to crabs, but love watching the chef prepares with such care.
I absolutely love Kanjang Gejang and we have a lot in Thailand and it is very very good especially the female one with the fatty egg roe
55 44 where can i get kanjang gejang in thailand? i’m going back in december
Julio Del Prado there is a lot of kanjang gejang delivery and restaurant, eg: in Siam there is one very famous called nice to meat you(Korean bbq but you can order the crab there) the famous delivery are Pongkaidoo you can search ปูไข่ดอง poo Kai dong, note that there are very different type of it thai style and Korean style
@@ong2547 thank you so much!
I never appreciated the sushi master until now. It is ALOT of work to get everything cleaned and then to make the sushi to perfection. A LOT of ingredients that must be fresh at all times. It is a highly skilled difficult craft. I am in awe. I tried making sushi on my own. It is NOT easy. 🙇🏻♀️Doma Arigato
He just slapped that piece of meat and it got hard wow lol.
lmaooo
Sounds so wrong. lol.
Lmao
same
cockhold clam
I would get a CapitalOne card if my meal at this restaurant was free
Gaejang is THE BEST. I should go visit my mom and get some (have to go to Korea, but worth it).
Elegant presentation, amazing fusion.
Videos like these make my day. Could watch this forever
Of course its 3:00 AM
Blue Crab on the US Gulf Coast tastes awesome, especially BBQ Crab. Very common in that region and abundant.
Mouthwatering.. Would be there first in line to try it if only this Antlantic ocean wasn't in the way😂
The way he speak
About his father 😘😍
Simply beautiful
If more people decided to connect Korean and Japanese we could achieve world peace lol.
Won't happen until Japan acknowledges and makes amends for its historic abuse of Korea
@@125pizzaguy which they have already did in 1965 pact where Japan gave $300 millions and $200 millions in loans to Korea (along with other countries that were affected by the war). ($300 million is basically the equivalent of $2.4 billion in today’s money). Japan have been apologizing for decades. Even recently in 2015 Japan apologized to the victims and contributed $1 million yen to the victims. Not sure what korea is doing with all of those money Japan have been funding them.
Is it possible to eat this through the phone? I'm now starving
Seventh Trumpet Tattoos
You can order sushi takeout through your phone. Not the same thing, I know, but it’s an idea. 📲 🍣
@@hindsightpov4218 hahah yeah you are right. Still not the same.
Who is the editor of this video???? 👏👏👏
Daniel Son... preparing crab from Miyagi prefecture..... how many more connections to Karate kid can there be lol
This was really a well made video! Best of luck in the future!
Dean Johnson they were closed down by the property owners to destroy the place and have a multi use apartment space
I MISS EATING SUSHIII...
DAMN YOU CØRONA 😭😭😭😭
Lol he is keeping his mom’s sock a secret
Asian food is interesting .. It's varied and very good
Those are top quality sea food huh, looks beautiful as hell.
Every video on this channel that shows chefs making japanese food the video always starts with the chef grinding wasabi root.
3:27
pleases dont do that... dont give me hope..
Marinated crab with rice 👌👌👌
This is crave-inducing. I suddenly wanna try marinated crab with hot rice.
Man...that slap really got me by surprise.i didn't know u can slap food like that 😆
75% of eaters videos are about sushi now

Also it's called eater Omakase duh
Love this
Little marriage....
Chef : *murder them*
Dude that crab sushi looks bomb.. I love ganjang crab.
