I swear to god Japanese people are a different breed. The discipline, passion and attention to detail these guys have for food... I mean you know shit is real when they even import water from japan to cook.

[kie-skatemods]

So cool to find a Japanese Michelin Star sushi chef who tried his best to speak English the whole time on this video.

[JayTheRed]

This guy is a michelin star chef and still "doubts himself" unbelievable humility from what appears to be an incredible talent.

[jinwoolee]

I have such mad respect for chefs with such passion and commitment to what they do. It's these kind of people that make humanity so beautiful.

[madu]

the way he said he feels happy when people can feel happy bc of his food .... literally one of the nicest person in the world, so cute

"We also mop floor with Hokkaido water, doesn't leave marks, very important"

[Intz]

I clicked to look for a min, but watched the whole thing, because the chefs attitude is so positive and welcoming! And the food looks amazing!

[BryantKeokanya]

He’s so happy with his life, warms my heart

[VWGTI]

Most Japanese people are very respectful. I love how they give a little bow to everyone. I wanna go to Japan and have sushi someday.

[jurassicturtle]

I like how he refers to everyone as his freind he seems very chill

[marcellolaginhas]

The first to arrive, that last to exit. He’s a master, indeed.

Marco White & Gordon Ramsay: *fights very hard for Michelin stars

Toshoo Kimura: *I got a Michelin star and I still don't know why*

[theindomitablecell]

I love how he talks english but it still sounds 100% like japanese

[kassidy]

his personality seems so genuine i was smiling the whole time

[erikaalcantara]

Appreciate the good relationship he built with his suppliers and him supporting locals ❤️

[Mysky]

So talented yet so humble. It was a real treat watching him handle his fish, he handles it artistically.

[theartist]

All Sushi Chefs: I have worked 100 years training to be a sushi chef, currently I am still cleaning dishes, one day I hope to graduate!

[TLNetworkGuru]

Many of us escape from work, he escapes in his work.

[sebastianpetersen]

What a sympathic and down to earth human being. So rare these days.
