@@User18dog I believe it is standard for sellers to sell their products at its best quality. The people in Japan deal with goods based on the trust between the seller and buyer. So I can see why Yamaguchi san is quite disappointed.
Why you guys have to take such a literal/analytical approach to this? Ofcourse it doesn't mean ' "go read couple of books and you will graduate medical school" ', I never said it did. It's just a very nice way of saying if you are very passionate about something you will be rewarded. If you love what you do, you'll strive to be better at it. Simple.
So you're essentially saying our standards are shiet? I'm embarrassed that came from my country. Especially from North Carolina, they have high standards, but if they delivered something that costs tens of thousands of dollars, you'd at least expect it to not be in the condition. Imagine if you received a Mustang or a Challenger delivered to your house, but the guy crashed it on his way TO your house. "Sorry bruh, didn't mean to do that" and then the dude leaves with your money. I think then you might be able to understand the guys frustration and shade throwing, he was expecting to make money, but because of the shiet work the dudes did in capturing this fish, he just lost (I'm assuming) about $6,000.
It doesn't matter what standard he expected. You can order a $4.95 pizza from Domino's and wish for a 5 course gourmet meal to arrive instead, but that's not ya gonna get.
But is that a $4.95 pizza? It's one of the most expensive fish in the world, worth several thousands of dollars. I would hope that the people who caught it would at least do it properly. Also there are such a thing known as "standards". If you want an example: If you don't meet Gordon Ramsay's standards in the kitchen, you get the boot. Simple as that. In this case, not much can be done as A) he already bought the fish and was screwed by their job B) He's not their boss, or their mom. The worst thing he can do is just do nothing. If they continue to do a poor job, he could say "they fking suck at fishing" and all of a sudden, any restaurant worth it's salt will stop buying Tuna from North Carolina.
I love the quote at the end: "If you love it, you'll teach yourself. If you don't love it, others teach you." "好きなことで自分でやるじゃないですか。嫌いなことで人に教わるだけだけど。マグロでほんと好きだったんで、だから自分でほんと勉強しましたね。"
A more literal translation of the Japanese would be: As for things that you like, are (you) not going to do it by yourself? As for things that (you) hate, (you're) just being taught by others. (I) like tuna so much, so (I) earnestly learn by myself. Which is why the Japanese sentence seems longer than the English. I'm marking all of the subjects because it does not exist in the Japanese sentence. Japanese sentences often omit the subject.
This video is so good I've watched it so many times I cant count them. The tone it has from the beggining till the 8th minute is all aboit work and how it goes for him in a daily basis. From there on is all about his story and what he can tell us about it. What it means for him to be a professional, the best tuna, what he loves, his craft and the final quote... I would PAY to have him talk about himself at my university. What an amazing video about an outstanding man.
Totally wrong though, the head is like a pice of leather. I am a commercial tuna fisherman and I have bought many fish, the scar doesn't affect the cost. This guy is being dramatic for the camrea. The head is literally impenetrable.
Only a handful of people can be reliable like this. Hundreds of business owners rely on gentlemen like Tuna King here day after day knowing that he will make what they need happen. Different businesses across many industries only have a few people able to handle stress like this and deliver day after day. Props and respect where it's due. You sir get a bow from me.
Dude, the way he handles stress though. You can hear in his voice as he openly says he's stressed, but you hear a sense of hopefulness and positivity. I love that. I love how much he loves his work, stress and challenges included.
@@Simz357 Lol. You can find top quality animals all over the worlds oceans and seas that is not just raising them on man-made and local waters. And again, theyre not "buying" but "taking" what is sold to them then rely on Tsukiji's quality control.
Yeah obviously most of it is getting shipped to Japan. So if you want to desecrate the tuna population. Sooner or later your going to have to stick some scarred tuna meat in your sushi hole.
David Mc I think he was more bothered by the fact he paid good money for it to be damaged, meaning he may or may not have been able to use it since he cares so much about quality
i get the feeling that he's like those characters in anime, where he is one of the friend of an old legend main character and a supplier of many things and a badass.
I feel this is one of those quotes that sounds wise to dumb ppl but is not really true though at all... for many things its great to learn from others and you would be considered excessively arrogant if you assumed you could just teach yourself. I love many things that I have been humble enough to admit there are others that know much more about this topic than me and have been curious and eager to learn from others.. the passing on of information from human to human is so important to our nature and success as a species. Also its impossible to teach urself something completely unless u have invented it completely independently urself.. if it existed before much of what u learn has been passed on by another human being .. if you count reading books and learning things as teaching yourself you are wrong because this is still others teaching you.. take learning to play the piano.. for example .. unless u invent the piano and teach yourself completely independent of any other human being you will have already had multiple ppl teaching u before u even sit down to play the first time...
Man i truly love people like this who get to work their whole life doing something they love and having a real trade learned... Ive been working towards a networking degree and everyday i dread working in that field more.. I rather have this, i rather be a person who works hard and maybe doesn't make as much , though i can be proud about doing what i do.
Believe it, its not about the money son... Money is just another word for numbers.. Are you killing yourself for numbers? Even though you hate math...? Do what you love... Even if its growing pot.
same here bro. sometimes i wish i had the same diehard motivation my parents gen have. sometimes i see people my age with it too, and it kills me inside because i know they're going to be great. but stay positive, youll find your own thing soon, maybe just a shift in perspective is all it takes. good luck

Five years ago I was a dishwasher and now I’m here. Life is good. Pay isn’t everything.
There’s one thing about Japanese culture that’s very endearing to me. It’s not what you do for a living, it’s how you do it that matters. It’s an amazing way to live, because everyone cares deeply about what they do. Everyone works hard because nobody feels ashamed about their job.
How do you know this? Have you asked every Japanese person. Odds are, just as many Japanese people hate their jobs as do people in other countries. Maybe they don't show it, but they still do.
When I was in Japan, I watched this man portion a whole tuna. I didnt even know who he was but his shop was the only one still working while others were closing up (It was late morning, after all the days orders had already been sent out for delivery). Watching this video made me appreciate how lucky I was to be able to witness firsthand in Japan.
@@changlee1196 I believe the buyer sees the fish before buying it but it's not always possible to see injuries so it's a bit of a gamble. I remember seeing a video of an auction in the market or something where they bring out the fish and those like the tuna king bid on them.
I love how butt hurt the Americans in the comments are..... He is importing from America to Japan.... how is he meant to inspect the fish before it arrives..... he's buying it trusting the supplier the tuna will be top quality.... like how he weighs the meat before trimming and his costumers trust he isn't fobbing them off but is instead doing all the clean up work for them..... its all about trust... and his supplier instead stabbed the fish in the most valuable part loosing him hundreds if not thousands of dollars..... is it edible? 100% Can he sell it to his main target costumers? No A lot are very high end restaurants with high standards and these standards start with the quality of the raw ingredients. Say you bought a new lamborghini (according to google they go for around $200,000 to nearly $300,000) and it was mint conditions untouched.... Someone trips and smash their head into the door leaving a dent. Will the small dent effect its use? no it wouldn't But would you be pissed? Yes You are paying for a quality product and expect it to be up to standard exactly the same
One of the best comments about that guy talking about NC was "Pshh whatever, he is still salty over Nagasaki" lol, and i looked buddy i didnt see any complaining Americans
to take a $37k hit on a single fish to avoid tarnishing your reputation takes a person of exquisite character. he easily couldve cut off a smaller piece, played dumb or made excuses but he chose to retain his title of king instead. you, sir, have my respect and admiration. love from the US. im sure whoever sold him that sub-par tuna will greatly regret losing this man's business.
I fished on a commercial fishing boat in the South Pacific jig fishing for Albacore for a Japanese buyer. We would meet a “Fish Technician” in Tahiti & he would grade the fish. Every fish had to be head gaffed. It is difficult as the boat is moving & your pulling fish by hand as fast as you can. That experience taught me how serious Japan is about their fish. Beautiful video.
His bankai creates a giant fish he can control that tries to swallow the enemy, regenerating instantly whenever it is damaged while his blade gets even bigger. If the fish swallows you, its stomach liquids seal your abilities and poisons/paralyzes you. He can slice through the giant fish to instantly kill you without harming the fish. It also can emit versatile waves of water that can slice and incapacitate at a distance. He can create water walls to block attacks, too. As the battlefield fills with water, the fish becomes faster and stronger.
I've never really liked seafood, no-matter what I try it always has that same unique fishy taste to it that for some reason makes me nauseous. Yet after watching a video like this it makes me wonder if Tuna would be a different experience, it looks like the steak of the sea.
@@_Saracen_ Tuna does indeed have less of a fishy taste than other types. Maybe try canned tuna at some point (though it tastes completely different from the tuna they use for 🍣) and if you have a good sushi restaurant nearby go and try a couple of pieces there. Maybe it works for you, maybe fish really just isn't your thing.
I come from along line of fishermen and I was thought to deep sea fish bye hand lining a technique that in my opinion has long been forgotten. I highly respect this man and his technique and keen eye to detail because that is how my grandfather has thought me.
@@rock2.0 I don't care to guess about things- all I pointed out to you is the time stamp with him stating those specific numbers were from a previous day and a different fish.
Humankind has constantly ignored God and His message for too long. We act in the place of God who is the creator of nature and the universe. Our sheer arrogance and total disregard for God and His son Jesus Christ have brought all these miseries and miscalculations. Science with all its 'benefits' and ramifications cannot and will never replace God's message of salvation to humankind through His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Therefore my friend if you desire to have eternal life after your short stay on earth then you must settle the sin factor through believing the atonement that Jesus Christ made on the cross of Calvary. All humankind is born as sinners and no sinner will inherit God's kingdom. Please repent from your sins and give your life to Jesus Christ so that you can have the righteousness of God which is only in Jesus. dclm.org/
This is one of my favorite channels by far. Seeing the passion that these people hold for their profession does a lot to my spirit. “If you love what you do, you’ll teach yourself. If you don’t, someone else will teach you” Amen
"If you love it, you'll teach yourself. If you don't love it, others teach you." That quote really resonates with me, as I've been of a mind to teach myself blacksmithing, instead of going to a school for it, or finding a master. I want to explore it for myself, and find my own success with it. After having been "taught" things I didn't care about my whole life going through regular school and college, I feel for the first time that I'm learning something truly worthwhile and exciting. I can definitely understand how Mr. Yamaguchi must've felt back then, and probably still feels now, doing what he loves. He has pride in his work, and takes responsibility for the product. This is a man worthy of respect.
He had a master.. His father...If want to learn smithing find a craftsman.. They want to pass on their skills and knowledge. They want to keep the art alive. Save you a tremendous amount of time. Be humble and respectful and they will show you everything..
@@thereissomecoolstuff There are definitely advantages to having a mentor, and to anyone who has one in mind that'd be willing to teach them, I'd say go for it. My father is a well-known luthier (and craftsman/handyman of many other categories), and I've been learning his craft as well. But the point behind that quote, is that if you truly enjoy what you're doing, you'll go above and beyond what someone else could simply direct you to do. My father is a great craftsman, but there are things you *can't* teach someone - it's up to each person to learn all they can, from any source, and continue raising the bar. Another quote comes to mind, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." With as many sources of knowledge as there are on the internet, as well as more books existing than anyone has ever had access to in previous times, it's very easy to immerse yourself in any sort of craft. Fundamental information, project ideas, instructional videos, bits of wisdom and efficiency from experienced hands, not to mention networking and discussion of both masters and novices, and everyone in between... all of that is obtainable without ever having any formal apprenticeship or schooling. Sure, a mentor can help guide you through it, and perhaps bring out more of your potential (if they're exceptional teachers), but for people that don't have any (or at least easy) access to such people, they must find their own way. Some people even learn better teaching themselves, such as myself. You say having a mentor will "save you a tremendous amount of time", but that time spent figuring things out for yourself is absolutely *crucial.* A person who's learned through trial and error, and careful observation is much more knowledgeable and competent than one who's simply been instructed to do it the "right" way, and hasn't experienced their efforts amounting to very little. Failure is necessary, and those with the drive to push beyond it will have an advantage over those who took the easier path. I like to think of this age we live in as the "age of the autodidact", as there has been no better time in history for it. As long as there is information and people willing to absorb and apply it, a craft will never die. Blacksmithing in particular is on the rise.
I like it when he can pretty much identify where it came from by their scars. Like the tuna with a possible spear punch from maybe North Carolina. Amazing work sir. Watching you is an art
If you ever want to question what passion looks like. Watch these videos and how Japanese people talk about how much they love to do something. Awesome.
Many people think he blamed fishermen in North Carolina. But actually he didn't apply the idea to all of them. He just blamed only fishermen who fish by leisure fishing, not professional people. Also it's not only North Carolina, but also Boston to him. The subtitle is a bit inaccurate. for example, 7:14 should be changed to "Of course I believe there are professional fishermen (in North Carolina)".
Aviv Gannon if I gaffed a fish a live or dead on the long liners any where apart from cheek plates there be trouble. Big boats snap multiple floats on the snoods once green fish is on the fighting line. Fish tires and comes up easy... then push brake cable down spinal cord, bleed , clean, hang n get paid🇦🇺
@@phillsmith3809 No offense intended, I know the language is English but you leave words out and you use what must be industry language so I'm trying to translate. You say, in support of The Tuna King, you fished on a tuna boat, you knew to gaff the head (Please leave those cheeks alone. I likes cheeks. When the lady volleyball team, er, never mind.) and the boat owner/captain knew you knew. You bring the beef into there boat and iki jime his bad self, gut and hang because the middleman and the final customer-probably a Japanese business man or a salary man- expect the best handling and actually puts trust in the whole system. Mr. Smith is that anywhere near your intent or am I wrongly projecting my personal expectations on your communique?
@@Vic-lu6dk it means he doesn't need top quality clothing, or his children get straight A across the board, or his garden forever pest free. He only need his tuna to be perfect. Everything else he tolerates.
Chicken Stealer LOL so having a pencil behind your ear for the duration of a video makes him “full of himself”? You’re ridiculous. This is HIS shop, did you not see all the small paper tags on the tuna for labeling, or assume all the notes he constantly has to make as he’s working? Please stop, your immaturity is showing.
"If you love it, you'll teach yourself. If you don't, others teach you". This is the first time I've heard this said, and i think it will stay with me forever.
"If you love it, you'll teach yourself. If you don't love it, others will teach you." This is what makes the best of the best. Choose a path that YOU want to walk, and give 100%.
@@Rubyshc You are not serious, are you? How do you thing would a court assess this defense: "Your honor, I am innocent, I only paid money to a professional who did the actual shooting!" If you eat tuna, if you fish for it, if you cut it to pieces, you are all equally responsible, but the buyer willing to pay for the product is the impulse that starts it.

As for things that you like, are (you) not going to do it by yourself? As for things that (you) hate, (you're) just being taught by others. (I) like tuna so much, so (I) earnestly learn by myself.
Which is why the Japanese sentence seems longer than the English. I'm marking all of the subjects because it does not exist in the Japanese sentence. Japanese sentences often omit the subject.
This video is so good I've watched it so many times I cant count them. The tone it has from the beggining till the 8th minute is all aboit work and how it goes for him in a daily basis. From there on is all about his story and what he can tell us about it. What it means for him to be a professional, the best tuna, what he loves, his craft and the final quote... I would PAY to have him talk about himself at my university.
What an amazing video about an outstanding man.
Japanese people always aim for the head
Thanos: *sweats nervously*
😹😹😹😹😹😹
Lmfao
Thats a good one.
Totally wrong though, the head is like a pice of leather. I am a commercial tuna fisherman and I have bought many fish, the scar doesn't affect the cost. This guy is being dramatic for the camrea. The head is literally impenetrable.
😅which is why he bever went there😅😂
Only a handful of people can be reliable like this. Hundreds of business owners rely on gentlemen like Tuna King here day after day knowing that he will make what they need happen. Different businesses across many industries only have a few people able to handle stress like this and deliver day after day. Props and respect where it's due. You sir get a bow from me.
Dude, the way he handles stress though. You can hear in his voice as he openly says he's stressed, but you hear a sense of hopefulness and positivity. I love that. I love how much he loves his work, stress and challenges included.
Well said!!!!!!
"if you love it, you'll teach your self. If you don't love it, someone else will teach you" ... that's deep

@@Simz357 Lol. You can find top quality animals all over the worlds oceans and seas that is not just raising them on man-made and local waters. And again, theyre not "buying" but "taking" what is sold to them then rely on Tsukiji's quality control.
@@patzchan1900 lol
Yeah obviously most of it is getting shipped to Japan. So if you want to desecrate the tuna population. Sooner or later your going to have to stick some scarred tuna meat in your sushi hole.
The first sentence is facts. 3/4 of the words bluefin catch goes to Japan.
To be fair, he did lose 37,000 USD in that North Carolina transaction. Who wouldn't be a tad salty?

No when you sell a 70k one when it only cost you 30k purchase
@David Mc Millionaires still don't enjoy losing money. He obviously wasn't too torn up about it, but he was still annoyed by it.
David Mc I think he was more bothered by the fact he paid good money for it to be damaged, meaning he may or may not have been able to use it since he cares so much about quality
Well he is not so swift then is he . If he lost that much . Could his representative NOT see where they gaffed it?
i get the feeling that he's like those characters in anime, where he is one of the friend of an old legend main character and a supplier of many things and a badass.

Preach!!
I feel this is one of those quotes that sounds wise to dumb ppl but is not really true though at all... for many things its great to learn from others and you would be considered excessively arrogant if you assumed you could just teach yourself. I love many things that I have been humble enough to admit there are others that know much more about this topic than me and have been curious and eager to learn from others.. the passing on of information from human to human is so important to our nature and success as a species. Also its impossible to teach urself something completely unless u have invented it completely independently urself.. if it existed before much of what u learn has been passed on by another human being .. if you count reading books and learning things as teaching yourself you are wrong because this is still others teaching you.. take learning to play the piano.. for example .. unless u invent the piano and teach yourself completely independent of any other human being you will have already had multiple ppl teaching u before u even sit down to play the first time...

There’s one thing about Japanese culture that’s very endearing to me. It’s not what you do for a living, it’s how you do it that matters. It’s an amazing way to live, because everyone cares deeply about what they do. Everyone works hard because nobody feels ashamed about their job.
Yes. Thank you for reminding me the comment that I had just read three scrolls ago.
How do you know this? Have you asked every Japanese person.
Odds are, just as many Japanese people hate their jobs as do people in other countries. Maybe they don't show it, but they still do.

When I was in Japan, I watched this man portion a whole tuna. I didnt even know who he was but his shop was the only one still working while others were closing up (It was late morning, after all the days orders had already been sent out for delivery).

Wonder if there is an agreement on the purchase or some type of certification/inspection that is done prior to selling or buying.
@@changlee1196 maybe they care alot about the fish more than the buyers
@@changlee1196 I believe the buyer sees the fish before buying it but it's not always possible to see injuries so it's a bit of a gamble. I remember seeing a video of an auction in the market or something where they bring out the fish and those like the tuna king bid on them.

Love videos like this, no annoying presenter interrupting anyone. Just a really interesting person allowed to tell their story.
I love how butt hurt the Americans in the comments are..... He is importing from America to Japan.... how is he meant to inspect the fish before it arrives..... he's buying it trusting the supplier the tuna will be top quality.... like how he weighs the meat before trimming and his costumers trust he isn't fobbing them off but is instead doing all the clean up work for them..... its all about trust... and his supplier instead stabbed the fish in the most valuable part loosing him hundreds if not thousands of dollars..... is it edible? 100%
Can he sell it to his main target costumers? No
A lot are very high end restaurants with high standards and these standards start with the quality of the raw ingredients.

you, sir, have my respect and admiration. love from the US.
im sure whoever sold him that sub-par tuna will greatly regret losing this man's business.
Well he said he could only know the quality of the tuna by cutting into it, so even the fisherman didn't know the tuna was not up to his standards
Well they kinda did when they gaffed it in the body and not in the head.
Svetlana Z he prob just did it once for this video lol
Maybe he means yen not USD (??)
TB Clips its usd, some tuna goes for millions of dollar
I fished on a commercial fishing boat in the South Pacific jig fishing for Albacore for a Japanese buyer. We would meet a “Fish Technician” in Tahiti & he would grade the fish. Every fish had to be head gaffed. It is difficult as the boat is moving & your pulling fish by hand as fast as you can. That experience taught me how serious Japan is about their fish. Beautiful video.
Trader : "my wasabi my wasabi my wasabi"

0:13 did remind me of Bleach
And he's only just using shikai here. Imagine if he went bankai.
What's the name of his sword, Is ir cool?
His bankai creates a giant fish he can control that tries to swallow the enemy, regenerating instantly whenever it is damaged while his blade gets even bigger. If the fish swallows you, its stomach liquids seal your abilities and poisons/paralyzes you. He can slice through the giant fish to instantly kill you without harming the fish.
It also can emit versatile waves of water that can slice and incapacitate at a distance. He can create water walls to block attacks, too. As the battlefield fills with water, the fish becomes faster and stronger.
Lmao, his bankai would be his sword turns into a million razor sharp fish scales XD
Man, can you feel his reiatsu pressure in the video? No jokes .
I see you are a fan of bleach as well.
The best sushi I've ever had was at that market. Damn near brought me to tears.
I've never really liked seafood, no-matter what I try it always has that same unique fishy taste to it that for some reason makes me nauseous. Yet after watching a video like this it makes me wonder if Tuna would be a different experience, it looks like the steak of the sea.
@@_Saracen_ Tuna does indeed have less of a fishy taste than other types. Maybe try canned tuna at some point (though it tastes completely different from the tuna they use for 🍣) and if you have a good sushi restaurant nearby go and try a couple of pieces there. Maybe it works for you, maybe fish really just isn't your thing.

Humankind has constantly ignored God and His message for too long. We act in the place of God who is the creator of nature and the universe. Our sheer arrogance and total disregard for God and His son Jesus Christ have brought all these miseries and miscalculations. Science with all its 'benefits' and ramifications cannot and will never replace God's message of salvation to humankind through His only begotten son Jesus Christ.
Therefore my friend if you desire to have eternal life after your short stay on earth then you must settle the sin factor through believing the atonement that Jesus Christ made on the cross of Calvary. All humankind is born as sinners and no sinner will inherit God's kingdom.
Please repent from your sins and give your life to Jesus Christ so that you can have the righteousness of God which is only in Jesus.

"If you love it, you'll teach yourself. If you don't love it, others teach you."
That quote really resonates with me, as I've been of a mind to teach myself blacksmithing, instead of going to a school for it, or finding a master. I want to explore it for myself, and find my own success with it. After having been "taught" things I didn't care about my whole life going through regular school and college, I feel for the first time that I'm learning something truly worthwhile and exciting. I can definitely understand how Mr. Yamaguchi must've felt back then, and probably still feels now, doing what he loves. He has pride in his work, and takes responsibility for the product. This is a man worthy of respect.
He had a master.. His father...If want to learn smithing find a craftsman.. They want to pass on their skills and knowledge. They want to keep the art alive. Save you a tremendous amount of time. Be humble and respectful and they will show you everything..
@@thereissomecoolstuff There are definitely advantages to having a mentor, and to anyone who has one in mind that'd be willing to teach them, I'd say go for it. My father is a well-known luthier (and craftsman/handyman of many other categories), and I've been learning his craft as well. But the point behind that quote, is that if you truly enjoy what you're doing, you'll go above and beyond what someone else could simply direct you to do. My father is a great craftsman, but there are things you *can't* teach someone - it's up to each person to learn all they can, from any source, and continue raising the bar. Another quote comes to mind, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
With as many sources of knowledge as there are on the internet, as well as more books existing than anyone has ever had access to in previous times, it's very easy to immerse yourself in any sort of craft. Fundamental information, project ideas, instructional videos, bits of wisdom and efficiency from experienced hands, not to mention networking and discussion of both masters and novices, and everyone in between... all of that is obtainable without ever having any formal apprenticeship or schooling. Sure, a mentor can help guide you through it, and perhaps bring out more of your potential (if they're exceptional teachers), but for people that don't have any (or at least easy) access to such people, they must find their own way. Some people even learn better teaching themselves, such as myself. You say having a mentor will "save you a tremendous amount of time", but that time spent figuring things out for yourself is absolutely *crucial.* A person who's learned through trial and error, and careful observation is much more knowledgeable and competent than one who's simply been instructed to do it the "right" way, and hasn't experienced their efforts amounting to very little. Failure is necessary, and those with the drive to push beyond it will have an advantage over those who took the easier path. I like to think of this age we live in as the "age of the autodidact", as there has been no better time in history for it.
As long as there is information and people willing to absorb and apply it, a craft will never die. Blacksmithing in particular is on the rise.
