  • Tsukune Toranomon chef Kazuhiro Watanabe took over his father’s yakitori restaurant that he started in 1968. The shop has always specialized in tsukune, which is a style of yakitori made from minced chicken. Chef Watanabe makes each skewer with passion and lighthearted joy, as he demonstrates how to skewer the meat, and how to grill each stick to perfection in order to savor the most flavor and fat.

      @Michael Tudda when i saw the chicken hearts and gizzards, I immediately started drooling. I agree with your sentiment of Westerners not trying these meats. Luckily, my Mexican father had us eating pigs feet, chicken gizzards, cow tongue, cheek, head, brain, and blood sausage growing up.

      Probably has something to do with the fact that all of our ancestors ate meat on a stick cooked over fire regularly at very far off past.

    @LichenMason313 Рік тому +1

    This is a great series in general but I particularly like this video. It is inspiring to hear how many thoughts are needed to provide a consistent, pleasant experience to customers. I am particularly benefited by the Chef's "No" to customer, such as not giving them sauce when they ask for it. It shows being just people-pleasing and agreeable alone does not constitute quality. Quality comes from firm knowledge in a craft or skill. And the chef does not let his pride in the work goes above his care for others based on the tone he speaks of things in general. It shows just being self-perfecting isn't formula of highest quality. Both pride and care for others need to be present.
