Please keep this series forever, chefs like him need recognition, not like those celebrity chefs

[nezu_mari]

"Continuation is power"... I'll remember that.

7:30 "do it for the rest of my life, or I will be inferior to those with higher education."

That's saying something about becoming a master of your craft.

[foodielah]

I can feel his sincere passion and affection to his career. Kind of a moving story.

[ixenroh]

So "Anoooo" is Japanese for "Ummmm"
Got it

[phuongonguyennguyen]

I love his voice. It sounds so sincere and lovely. The food is as good-looking as usual, no doubt that it will taste good.

1:15 it says a lot about the strictness of his mother that he left home to become a sushi chef (寿司職人), it’s known to be one of the most demanding apprenticeships in Japan. Good thing he doesn’t hate her tho

Journalists have revealed many restaurants actually pass off ocean catch as expensive ones, blatantly ripping off customers. This guy however, has his fish air flown from Japan. That's respect.

[brozors]

The sad music hits as he’s killing the lobster lol

[thesushilegend]

When people ask for a sushiya rec in NYC, it’s Kosaka that I recommend every time. It may not be the most “famous”, but Yoshi-san is the main reason why. Great vid - a lot more pro than mine.

[rubo]

His favorite food rice ketchup eggs goes to show deep inside all of us we just want nice comfort food

[Lowcountryyankee]

The dance his hands perform with the nigiri is pure magic. An artist.

[hreinn]

Just look and his face.
He's so sincere and dedicated to his work. May you have anything you ever want in your life.

[uumuu]

This guy seems so humble yet energetic, I could watch him work and talk all day.

[PhanEddie]

Drinking game : take a shot whenever the chef says “anoo”

[stellaborealis]

I swear Eater has the best storytelling, video editing, cinematography and music editing I have seen in the world of food documentaries/videos.

"I think the kindest way to kill the lobster is with a knife"

Cut's lobster and tear's it's body into two. Continues to move.

[RockstarEater]

It seems like every time i see a new sushi restaurant video, there are more and more fish that these sushi restaurants are serving that I've never heard of.

We've definitely come a long way since the days of tuna, yellowtail, and salmon (which is a great thing).

[JiminPark-ndgx]

I love this chef. He's not working, he's doing what he loves. It's passion.

[anovosedlik]

There is so much modesty and grace among many of these sushi masters. It's beautiful to watch them work.
