    This was beautiful. As someone who loves east Asian cultures, I always hope that my roots as Mexican can be appreciated by everyone but specifically them because I feel a lot of the culinary culture is similar. It makes me feel good to hear a Japanese chef speak so knowledgeably of Mexican cuisine.

    This actually looks good. Yakitori is hard to make look glamorous. It's easy to go, "those are just skewers!", but good Yakitori can be amazing when the combination of thought-out ingredients, skilful preparation, and chef creativity and experience combine perfectly.
    That said, the tapioca tostada is definitely creative, but I'm not sure I saw too much else that was really different or inspired by Mexico. And that rice pot at the end, wth XD. But, overall, it looks good. This video hasn't inspired me to take the long trip to Mexico City. But maybe I'll hit up a local Japanese skewer spot.

Set in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown, this place dishes up comfort food to those who grew up eating Cantonese/Hong Kong style cuisine - a cuisine that focuses on harmonizing the flavors of the primary ingredients through a well balanced and non-greasy preparation and the minimization of spices and sauces.
