I went to the restaurant today. He told me that when vice media came to him they said that they were going to use actors to taste the sushi. He refused and requested that the camera man was the one to taste it. This explains why he’s not the most animated guy.

Dude is terrified to make a mistake eating it.

I love this chef’s character and sense of humor. Such an awesome blend of reverence for history and tradition with a more modern sense of humor and acceptance of other cultures and education.

I worked in a sushi bar with a chef who trained under Jiro Ono. His take on eating sushi was; "It's your sushi, eat it the way that makes you happy."
I like this philosophy. I've been enjoying sushi for 35 years now and have owned and operated 2 sushi bars.
The one thing I would recommend to my customers is to not use chopsticks unless you are really good at them, otherwise there's a chance the sushi I worked hard at and they're paying for will end up on the floor.

“Only shake it in the men’s room,
*looks at camera*
Hi, Hello”
LMAO

“Don’t shake it. Only in the mens room”. - sushi master 😂

The Sushi Chef sounds like a very nice man actually.

From the first time I enjoyed sushi I always figured that the pickled ginger was for cleansing your palate between different entrees and for not having smelly post-sushi breath.

My respect for this chef... I learned a lot just in a few minutes. I'm going to be following his instructions next time we go for sushi!

"It's very sweet."

"Yes, very sweet. Just like you"

That chef warmed my heart

Tried my first sushi this past New Year’s Eve. The chef is right. It’s almost impossible to explain what’s going on inside your mouth. Absolutely delicious.

Oh my!!! It all looked amazingly delicious, but also loved learning all of these traditions. Thanks to the chef, “Arigato gozaimasu”

"Shaking is for meeting people and the bathroom" Greatest quote ever...
