How 3 Michelin Star Sushi Legend Masa Cooks at Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Legendary sushi chef Masa Takayama was the first Japanese chef to helm a restaurant that was awarded three Michelin stars in the US. Now, he's going to show you how he cooks at home by using one fish to make three dishes.
This zero-waste approach is going to use every part of the fish-even the bones and head-and use a variety of techniques, and not just Japanese ones. You'll also find out why you shouldn't buy ponzu sauce from the store.

"I want to eat very light because I want to eat a lot." My kind of guy.
yes sir he's a legend
He says he don’t eat a lot
anas momo why do you care?
anas momo fuck off bitch
@anas momo shut up ananas no one likes ananas
It feels like the music gets louder everytime when he is going to say something interesting.
we don't want those secrets leaked don't we?
heb je even voor mij

Frans Bauer I was literally scrolling down to type something about the volumes and saw this comment immediately 😂😂 so true
Sound guy- "should I Turn up the background music?"
Masa- *"Little bit"*
"if u like"
xDDDDDD
add mo flavurr
Meme fusion
Music Gives it more umami flavor
i would pay obscene amounts of money to have a video series of this man cooking homemade dishes
Masa makes eggs bacon and pancakes please
Masa: I want to eat light,
Me: :(
Masa: because I want to eat a lot!
Me: :D
This comment is golden lol
😛😆😋
Finally an interesting host on Munchies and it's ruined by the background music.
THANK YOU!! he is such q passionate guy, loved him.
@The Great One Its just loud. Too loud. Hard to hear him clearly.
Are you guys deaf Masa volume is fine
the music was fine, what you talking about? You can just say you don't like jazz
guys he means we cant hear him the music is nice just too loud x)
Music video is aite. There were many moments where the singer was off beat but overall the effort was there so 3/5.
I heard he has an album dropping soon
I’m surprised no one has commented that they’re confused😂
Nuke Gaming “confusion of da HIGHEST ORDA”
Nice lmao
Hahahahahahaha
I was so intrigued with this man’s passion for his fish and how he is so willing to share his technique, that I didn’t even notice the music until I read the comments. Just enjoy the video
This exactly.
What, I literally cannot hear some of what he says because of the music in certain parts... How am I supposed to enjoy or learn if I cannot hear it...
danny garcia indeed my guy
@@Cognihaus Listen through better speakers.
same
I love how that guy is just following his chef around it shows a good work ethic and interest in what's going on. He must be a good worker!
10:05
“little bit of garlic”
*throws dam near half a cup
“ I like garlic”
And garlic chips at the end.
"i put a lot"
@@juanposumah4107 proceeds to stir garlic and onions with bare hands on hot plancha
Hahahahaha
Actually that's his own home dinner (choice) recipe !!! Little garlic is good enough for that master dish !!! But he likes garlic ???!!
I like the fella awkwardly walking around in the background for the majority of the video
He is a student of Masa
He is watching and learning
He's the sous chef. I may or may not watched the video just to see if he's in.
He's assisting him with a lot of stuff and probably learning a ton in the process
He wants to go home lol
I love how he says 'whatever you like, chilli or jalapeño'. Cooking should be like that, cook what you love and use what you love.
Hey Mr. Camera Man, switch off your iPod the next time you recording
Thats home cooking, the point of the exact ingredient is in this case to give heat and flavour. You can use whatever that can accomplish that. That's always a point with even more complicated recipes. You can experiment with already set recipes, but you should know what you are doing to the dish.
weskergeorge97 thanks master chef
elevator music ft. 3 michelin star chef
Cause he’s as dreadful to listen to as waiting to get to the top floor
🤣🤣
@@mario6279 No dick head.
it is called bossa nova; 1960s Brazilian, and pop in Japan still today
@@josedacunhafilho I'm hooked. Thank you for putting the name of the genre out. It's stuck in my head xD
I like how the assistant chief is just cleaning and watching him cook.
soultakers66 there is not much to do when taisho is cooking himself, I’m just watching and try to be helpful 🙂
@@genozubco so it was u ?? And What a person taisho was?
Joy 😄, that’s how we call chef Masa, it means emperor of the first galactic empire, just kidding, it means a boss (or a general in old times)
@@genozubco its legit you in there lmao
@@williamthebastardofnormand6183 yep
I love that we see the sous chef helping where he can. Chefs and sous chefs are really one of the last "master and apprentice" rolls that used to be more prevalent in day to day society. It's great to see someone eager to learn helping where they can.
The music was too quiet I could still hear some dude talking a little bit
They should've had that music blaring only when he spoke.
Lol
😅
Yeah, just like you I wish the music was louder so we can’t hear anyone. Because an interview needs loud music instead of ambient music.
Imagine complaining about music when the main focus is supposed to be about the food 🤦♂️like bro it literally background music “BACKGROUND” music
I just love the way Masa explain everything, feels like grandpa making food for their grandchild.
Serious respect for him not wasting any part of the fish.
Ya its like buy kfc and taking of the skin
@@JoseGarcia-ww1bn my cousin used to do that and he was bullied by every man woman child of the family
yousuf alshaikhli at least his arteries are nice and clean
Japanese chefs have respect for their ingredients.
He is Sanji in real life xD
Whoever is in charge of the music should be fired.
トイレの花子 Whoever edited it in, as well
Yes
Lmao the music is so out of place for this video. I was thinking the same thing
There should be no music when he's talking.
it’s fine
masa is a chill boy
Bass boosted version please! Thanks!
😂
😂💀
Background music needs to be louder
What do you mean? I can't hear any backround music at all.
Elevator music
Perfect imo. Just enough to add to the video without being distracting
Dududu du dududu
🐜🐜🐜🐜 are you hungry Zucc?
I think it's so ridiculously amazing that you have this legend in multiple videos making content for us plebs lol! It's really a blessing.
he's the *chillest* dude ever
Did I just watch him use two $350 takamura knives as teppanyaki spatulas?
Ulrik Bentzrød thought the same lol 😂
He used them gently though and these knives are very hard so it doesn’t rly „hurt“ them to much but still I wouldn’t ever do that if I had one
You know he makin Bank and A LEGEND if he just casually grabs takamura knives. lol I guess that's a Michelin 3 Star Chef for you
Yes. Yes you did. :/
@@shinobi-media right? he doesnt give a shit about them knives what a boss man. respect the fish dont waste fuck my takamuras
He has a warehouse of them somewhere
Eminem: “I make elevated music”
Munchies: *”I make ELEVATOR music”*
homie cooks like he doesn't have to clean up afterwards. Bossman
Because he doesn't have to. That's what that fella on the background is for.
Abdul Harist Muqorrobin that’s the sous chef
He owns the most prestigious restaurant in the most expensive town, NYC. So he don't have to do anything he does not want to do.
@@abdulharistmuqorrobin7647 even that guy probably doesnt have to wash the dishes
Tony Zhu thanks for defending my name, but no matter of status at masa restaurants, I’m still a student and have lots to learn from him
Boys chill out with that background music it was so loud I had to concentrate on his narration.
Right what the fuck vice, is there no final editor who looks at this shit
i love that he keep emphasizing the idea of using what ever you have on hand to make something good. lets not forget we are basically watching an old japanese man in a wool cap grill fish heads, but because he knows what hes going an its delicious. we get too caught up in using expensive things to make a dish good and not focusing on how and what we are doing to it
might as well add some dubstep with the dirtiest drops...
Andrew Nguyen just a little pinch of salt- WAAAAH WAAAAH DO-do-do-do-do
Chef to the cook: Give me your knife !
Cook: Of Course Chef , what will you cut?
Chef: The plancha!
So to make ponzu sauce, you can mix 60% orange juice, 30% regular soy sauce, 10% fish sauce, optionally vinegar to taste. Sounds legit, need to test this soon!
@@Yammie_Moto671 nope, he didn't.
@@Yammie_Moto671 60% soy? You're mental.
Dont forget the roasted chilli pepper!!! This sauce is great!
Make sure its fresh squeezed
1:1:1 OJ/low sodium soy/rice wine vin also works,
Gordon Ramsay: Put a bit of olive oil *pours a liter of of olive oil*
Masa Takayama: Put a little scallions if you want *puts a handful of scallions*
This must be the secret of great Michelin Star Chefs.
is why my biology teacher used to say: be specific!
Great, some, few, many, a lot. All kind of relative.
Mcdonalds tried to supersize everything, I still like the michellin stars better -.-
your not wrong proffessional kitchen tend to use high amounts of fat and salt. we used to make this mashed potato that was amazing that was 40% butter by weight
Yeah I like placing a few cubes of butter 😏
That's not even that much scallion for that size of half fish head.
isnt olive oil a jamie oliver thing?
Munchies: Background music waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to loud!
yes! let the master speak
i love that his sous chef is so entertained by what he does and is trying to do his stuff and watch at the same time
Ordered a pizza and wanted to watch this guy cook. Ended up eating my pizza while listening to the background music. Superb.
love how he used his hand to eat the fish. OG
He's a restaurant worker.... He uses the chopsticks for food prep, he would have to throw em to the washer if he slathered his lips around em... ofcourse hes going to use his hand
What an amazing gentleman. It's a really nice perspective on Japanese cuisine. Coming from Portugal, where fish as a big role on our diets like in Japan, I can appreciate the fact that he uses all the fish, no waste. We do the same... mostly!
Sim, i think he should go to Portugal to try some new stuff.
@@afallin Sem dúvida, there's a lot to discover.
@big boy gustav It is but as far as I'm concerned, most of the World's food is amazing. :D
Here in Bengal we dont even remove the bones or the skin
alflurin what do you guys do with the bones?
How masa cooks at home : with a creepy white guy following him and elevator music at 200db apparently
🤣🤣🤣
lol
hes his sues chef
@@florianschwab 'how masa cooks at home'
@@Pablo_Cabeza I hear you, just feel like he would have been responsible in between preparations to help move the video shoot along smoothly..
"Little bit garlic... Ohh.. I love garlic!! I put a lot!!" :)))
You can tell how much this guy loved to cook as a child. Like, highly efficient, clean, home style comfort food.
HE COOKED THE FRIED RICE WITH A COUPLE OF KNIFE
tyvek05 who has two spatulas that doesn't have two knives? I pretty sure if you don't have two knives your not going to have a spatula
THE MAD MAN
Looking by the shape, seem like those knives are only for showing. Cheap knives kinda thing. Thats why he braves enough to chopped the egg with it on top of the metal grill. Hell no way he uses the knife he used to fillet the fish. Or sashimi knife.
@@ekosaptopo361 if you scroll through the other comments, his sous chef Gene says those are $800 knives. He says it was painful to watch, but he just sharpened them afterwards.
@@ekosaptopo361 don't get me wrong, I respect the Chef and his techniques, I just know that will dull a knife quickly.
THIS was so wholesome and refined, things you can actually cook at home, hope you do more videos with Chef Masa, thank you !!
The music needs more cow bell
Hahahaha goddamn there some good comments on this video
Why would you want to give people ear cancer? XD
i was thinking about being a chef before this video starts.
Now im thinking about being an elevator music designer
Thanks dude appreciated.
Every time I watch sushi chefs in action I feel relaxed and proud to be a cook lol
Yo, Munchies, I love you. But your sound mixing here needs some more love.
Lol, your comment is so clean and decent.
i love his emphasis on never wasting anything - it def shows in him constantly saying how to just incorporate anything leftover in the fridge
top chefs mostly utilize almost all the produce.... they believe throwing things into the bin is like throwing flavor into the bin
he doesn't even waste his mixtape which is playing in the background
@@fatdoi003 replace flavour with "Money"
chefs often willing to forego money for flavor......
@@leleleel4507 I laughed so hard at this
I like how he cooks fried rice on the iron plate with two knives 🤣🤣🤣
Coolest guy ever not a pretentious self-absorbed bone in his body and he's a genius.
I love how he always lets you know how it can be modified for regular home cooking
He sounds like a Japanese Arnold Schwarzenegger
HAHAHAHA LMFAO
He is the Japanese Arnold Schwarzenegger
@KevinGoatDurant EasyMoneySniper Your actually pepega
"I rill be back"
@KevinGoatDurant EasyMoneySniper how was that racist?
Oh yeah yeah
I love this, he makes you wanna cook and it don’t matter because you’re at home chillin and life is good
Who ever was wondering what the ingredients were in this video i got you
1st- a fish
2nd- crap load of back ground music
And Finally
3rd- lil bit of garlic
😂
I had to rewind 3x bc I enjoyed so much. For very similar reasons to why I love Jacques Pépin I immediately like spending time watching this man: Very warm, inviting, personable, down to earth, sharing expertise 😁😻Thank you ❣️
I love how he uses his knives for everything.
Masa Knifehands.....
loooool
I simply cant believe that people still put so loud music that you cant hear the guest,just wtf..
With the background music this loud, I'm gonna need subtitles. Thanks for making me feel like an old.
#metoo
"How loud do you want the BGM to be?"
Producer: "YES"
😂
Love how he emphasise on using leftovers in our homes that everybody faces daily!!
I love watching this and thinking, "well if he can do it so can I..." and then I remember he has 3 Michelin stars.
Not to be a dick but HE doesn't have any Michelin stars, his Restaurant has the stars. It's a common misunderstanding and another reason the Michelin system is a bit bollocks.
Plus you can most certainly do all of this, all he did was break down a fish and make simple comfort food, give it a shot! (:
@@Googlywoog that's not true bro
@@nacholopez7348 What part mate?
He didn't get those by not cooking lol
Masa has the coolest most badass voice I have ever heard...
That soup reminds me of the one my tatay usually makes from leftover grilled catfish. The charred taste of the fish really gives kick to the vegetable soup, which all ingredients usually came from our back yard 😁
❤️❤️🇵🇭
that assistant knows where to be at every given moment , just amazing
The way Masa speaks, its almost hypnotic listening to him
Damn, this dude is so cool, realest Japanese chef I've seen yet!
9:56 he said "flat plancha"
Mis respetos señor. Eres una leyenda 👏😌🍚🍚🍚🥢🍶
Please, get as many videos with Masa as you can get!
the way he talks and cooks is just purely relaxing
Next time I'm eating a whole fish in a restaurant I'm going to order one of those lemon infused finger bowls and make my own bone soup. Excellent video
Imagine you're the 3 stars chef's family member and get to eat like this everyday.
lol I doubt he ever has time to cook for them regularly. Chefs are some of the busiest people on the planet.
@@horseaphoenix1016 The only people who are busier are probably doctors and nurses lmao
insanely loud background music aside, that fried rice looks really damn good
Pls Reupload this without Music THANK YOU!!!
I remembered when Anthony Bourdain met Masa along with his family and friends in Japan. He's such a great guy and one hell of a talented chef. I would love to meet him one day and get to try his food.
can't get over how humble and nice he is
Come to comment section to discuss the content,
FOUND EVERYONE COMPLAINING THE MUSIC.
😂
“I love anchovy’s a lil bit” 😂👌🏼
The man has a beautiful soothing sound - very relaxing but they add annoying loud background music because why not right?
I like what you teach us not to waste any parts of food .......... keep creating new dishes with what are being given . That is what a Master Chief is all about
That assistant guy is an awesome dude as well. Learning the skill and character from master
Inspired by video.
Looks in fridge:
- water
- ketchup
- pickles
half-dried Philadelphia, raspberry jam, an onion
you can always make some nice ketchup soup, pan fry the ketchup, add water, cut pickles into side dish. BAM, a meal
@@elitsagospodinova7241 hmm, fried onions made crispy, then dipped with ur half dried philadelphia
At 11:05 according to auto generated subtitles he says “I’m chubby darling”
Te Arohana Edgar lol
amicy haha I put the subtitles on cause it was hard to hear with the music but they made no sense 😂
Really enjoyed this video.. I also liked an episode he did with Anthony Bourdain where he took him to his home town.
Was watching the video and thought to myself, “the music is super loud... these comments are gonna be great.” I checked the comments and you guys didn’t disappoint... this is why I love UA-cam
DUDE IN THE BACK MUST LOVE THE SPOTLIGHT LMAOOO! but seriously he is finding his way into every shot!!!
Give the dude in the background a raise lol
Robert Ignacio no need, I’m already his sous chef
@@genozubco yo wtf
RICH FRVR ?
@@genozubco thats crazy you are his sous chef
RICH FRVR yeah 😅
Me: the musics not that bad guys..
5 minutes later
Me: Yeah it's bad
it would have been great if he just threw a ham and cheese Lean Pocket in the microwave
sure murican man
FREEDOMMM
He may as well.
This restaurant is trash.
You mean Hot Pocket right?
@@JamieR1988 And I'm sure you are a master at microwaving pizza pockets in that 5 star kitchen of yours.
How can you not like this guy
Watching this video makes me feel like I'm on hold to schedule a doctors appointment.
Love this man. Also, garlic chips??? that's a thing? give.
Probably fried thinly sliced garlic in oil until crispy.
buy it at an asian supermarket. I know vietnamese markets have it, just make sure it's not made in china
Puts 10,000 exotic ingredients together, says “so simple“ 😂
Can they fire the music editor?
I love Masa, he's so chill
When he says “up” it makes me smile. Something with the accent.
Fish heads is the best part sucking the eyeballs
U dont suck eyeballs on tail
That soup is brilliant, so simple yet so interesting
i'd be more curious to watch him cook it if he had a whole pile of left overs, kinda surprised me he didnt simmer the fish head in the broth for a little to try get some flavour into the broth out of the bone same with the tail. perhaps just leaving it sitting in the broth before eating gave enough. ill never know
Credits to the young guy who helps him

Brad Barrett and Harrison Carbone, great work on the music. Absolutely splendid 👏👏
This channel is how I survive when the snow storm blocks my Uber eats! Got the munchies lol 😎
love how he's using the whole animal or vegetable. it should be mandatory for chef's to cook like this
