Like the judges, I was again amazed at how refined your dish looks and tastes like! I'm rooting for you to win it all! Hope you can come back to Japan! I wanna taste your cooking for real!
This was great! I liked that we got to see your face more! And it was hilarious that Dodger didn’t want to eat the peas! Those crabs are seriously scary to me and a lot of work. But you make everything look so easy and beautiful. Please keep doing these videos even when the show is over!!!
Your food is so elegant. I hope you win fan favorite and Top Chef. Your 🦀 dish was the best. Excited to see your 4 course meal next week!! Good luck Shota, it’s yours to lose against Gabe. Dawn is great but she can’t get timing and consistency right. It should have been a two person finale. 🇯🇵 ❤️
my wife totally agrees with that sentiment. we've watched TC18 from week one to now and the timing on Dawn's part is terrible...but we think she tries too hard.
@ luvstofap I was shocked when Padma said she was going to the finale too. They like her food but her presentation and leaving things off the plate…that’s not a Top Chef. If she does it in the finale, it will prove she isn’t a food competitor. Sorry not sorry. 😏
Yes, there is no doubt that Dawn has some talent but it was a complete joke that they allowed all three into the finale. Gabe is a better chef than Dawn. Shota for the WIN!!!
Just found this channel! So glad I did. You're my favorite chef on the show. All the best to you on your continued success. PS: your videos and editing are very impressive!
My dog doesn't like veg either. Spits it out just like Dodger. Congratulations on making it to the finale. This house will be rooting hard for you next week!
Just as one who has spent the time on the Haida nation, home of Dungeness Crab, it's just garlic butter, and catching it on the beach,. Quick boil until a colour is achieved. No better way to let it shine in my opinion. Keep it naked. Not a lot of stuff needed. For the record for family celebrations on Haida Gwaii, they would have garbage cans full of crabs. Literally. Awesomeness.
OMG!!!! You're in the Finale!!!! After watching every episode of this season, I think Kwame doesn't like you that much. I dunno. He's a freaking perfectionist. SHOTA FOR THE WIN!! I love you chef!
Dodger: “Gimme more crab! No green stuff!” Meka would do the same if we tried to give her green veggies. But if you put bacon fat on it, she would devour broccoli!
my wife thinks you need a cookbook with these recipes
You have a really smart wife!!!!
Please Please Please!!!
I'd buy it.
Thanks for sharing yourself by competing on Top Chef. It was a joy to watch.
These videos are so perfect. I love everything about them. I don't understand how it hasn't blown up yet.

I can't believe theres only 1 more episode to go!!! I'm going to miss your weekly videos!
MaaShaAllah. It looks delicious.
カニ勝負おめでとうございます！
梅味ご飯のカニ寿司が食べたくなりました。
カニと大根は私には難易度が高すぎて…無理ですが、いつか挑戦したいです。白い大根はなかなか手に入らないですが。
最終回があと一回！ 寂しい。
ファン投票もしてます！
優勝される事願って応援しています。
unrelated but your dog is so rad
Love that the Taku t-shirt looks like the Dragon Ball Turtle School uniform. Hope you're the winner, Shota!
"Will ya stop, dude?"
Can't stop giggling...
Mr Crab - "I WILL END YOU!!!"
You have the nicest personality on the show 😊
Keep up the creative and exciting cooking. Thank you for helping to show how amazing Japanese cooking can be.

Agreed 💯!

Agreed Jeremy!!!!!
Can you show the sushi part next? 😄
Just found this channel! So glad I did. You're my favorite chef on the show. All the best to you on your continued success. PS: your videos and editing are very impressive!
Please! share beef tongue curry next!!
ugh when he said sugar i swooned. SHOTA you’re way too cute!!!!!
when your pupper won't eat your food. the rejection is real! lol
Love all your videos, Shota! Maybe you have a recipe for all that lovely crab caviar?
Can’t wait to visit Taku in Seattle next month.
That is so beautiful!
Awesome vid as always Shota. I'd love to see how you made the sushi from this challenge too.
Look delicious Shota! Definitely have to try some of these recipes out 👍🏼🙌🏼
Doggie so cute
Please come and open a restaurant in nyc!
My dog doesn't like veg either. Spits it out just like Dodger. Congratulations on making it to the finale. This house will be rooting hard for you next week!
What is the name of your cookbook?
I did a search, but no luck.
Is it “Chef’s Collective?”
Love you!!!

almost time to start catching it again!! 🤤🤤
Amazing!!
OMG!!!! You're in the Finale!!!! After watching every episode of this season, I think Kwame doesn't like you that much. I dunno. He's a freaking perfectionist. SHOTA FOR THE WIN!! I love you chef!
Kwame's not a perfectionist, he's a racist. He's extremely biased towards Dawn due to her race and it's disgusting.
I get that feeling as well. Kwame is rooting for Dawn for sure. I like all three remaining chefs but I want Shota to win it.
Hope you win!
Dodger: “Gimme more crab! No green stuff!” Meka would do the same if we tried to give her green veggies. But if you put bacon fat on it, she would devour broccoli!
YOU SHOULD'VE WON, BABY BOO XOXOXOX!
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm you’re so smart
"大根" ですよ。"ダイカン" じゃ ない。
いい間違いちゃったかな？w
@@chefshota チェフ ショタの 宅 t-シャツ とっても スゴイ!
Ha ha, Dodger doesn't eat pea pods . . . looks away when you ask, what is that?
Heh! Dodger no like the peas. One chomp, and *yuck*.
