@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ do you really think that proselytizing in youtube comments is effective? "I was living a life of sin, but then I saw a Bible verse in a youtube comment, and I changed my life around." Just doesn't seem realistic to me.

"No instructions at all, he did however draw a little sushi guy, I think that's all I need," LOL 😄😂

"So if you are in the ocean and you have a wasabi root, you can just roll right up to a shark and just do this right on their back." Joe with the absolute BEST advice

Joe is so comfortable in front of the camera and his sense of humour is perfect for this channel, more of him.

Joe was such a delight! Definitely would love to see him more. Yuji is always a treat, he just feels like that guy that's working a bar or a food stall and you can just sit there and have a welcoming conversation with him.

Led me to think

the humbleness from the chef is so admirable considering the amount of training a sushi chef goes through.

Can we have two of the experts or home cooks swap their ingredients to make the same dish? Please

I love how Yuji doesn’t act like Joe is an amateur home cook just that he was making a simple meal. Never made fun of it or anything, just made a great meal out of the ingredients.

"If I had to get the goop out of anyones bones in a medical situation I could do it" solidified Joe as the best guest ever

I love them both. They are so wholesome, it just warms my heart up.

The initial dismayed reactions (and Joe's periodic recurring moments) when their ingredients were taken away was a great start to set the tone of contrast throughout the video! Both chef Haraguchi and Joe were such good sports as they adapted. Joe's confidence in encountering the limits of his experience made for a humble yet positive sense of humor. Yuji's skill in improvising was amazing. (and I lurve fried salmon skin -- every time I use salmon, I'll willingly triple my meal prep time just for that extra step) P.S. I have no idea how much time it took Joe to tackle so many unknowns, but every time I've gotten in over my head on a recipe or dish it has been triple or worse my intended prep time. Big props to him, and I hope behind the scenes there was a helping staff hand or three to make sure everyone wasn't stuck on set for like 6 hours!

I like that these guys are pretty chill. It makes them seem more relatable. Sometimes I get annoyed by hosts/guest that are super energetic and peppy. Just chill out people.

lol, I wasn't expecting Yuji to go 'the head is dragging!' because the professional chefs usually are bidding their expensive ingredients a tearful goodbye. I also really liked Joe, he's probably the most fearless home cook I've seen on this channel.

Chef Yuji is so kind and humble. He is one of my favorites in this channel ❣️

Joe is so cool! The type of friend you need. Plus his sushi did pretty well according to the chef. They both have great personalities! 💚💚

Bruh it proves the exact opposite 😂 that dude who doesn’t know how to make a sushi did one of the best sushi rolls the pro chef has ever tasted

Yuji is a sweetheart! Joe is funny as hell. Both are great and I’m a fan of this style of video. More please!!

😂😂”I’m an expert I can remove the fluid out of anyones spine” 🤣hell no!!

Fun episode Don't recall Joe before but he seems like a great guy who really is skilled in the kitchen. Yuji is a sweet guy, seems to respect the ingredients (regardless). I loved the crisp skin in the sushi roll.

“What’s a Donabe?” “Don’t worry about it, you wouldn’t understand” 😂

Wow the Pro Chef looked at what he got and said, "I think I can do a lot with this!". I'm going to have to watch the rest later, I'm at work but thats inspiring for sure :D

I like when the pro cook is actually able to accurately guess the average cost of the cheaper ingredients. Shows that they're familiar with the cheap, not just the expensive.

I love Joe! This is a formal petition for more Joe 👏

This was delightful! Both Joe and Yuji have wonderful personalities; I'd love to see more of them!

This video was posted during my early recovery period after I went to the hospital for jaw surgery and I just got to watching it today and it was very calm and relaxing and really made me feel good during my recovery period...so thank you.

The respect, the workmanship, the love... what an episode!!!! I loved it! 🙌

It'd be cool to see two professional chefs of completely different foods swap ingredients. Like get chef Yuji making some italian food!

Joe is hilarious ,another great episode

I had no idea there was that jelly like substance in spines, let alone that we eat it! Learned something new today

Joe is hilarious “you wouldn’t get it” 😂😂😂 that is so me I’ll suggest something and if they don’t know about it I just be like “well someone doesn’t need to be a chef” 😭😭😭

great people here, Joe's final product ended up looking amazing, he deserves a job in a high end spot for sure

Both participants are so wholesome😅

Yuji!!! LOVE HIM!! Joe is a new face [to me], looking forward to this episode. 🍣 🍣

I love Yuji being so explanatory and helpful and Joe is like learning as he goes

I’ll watch any video that has this duo in it. So wholesome.

I've been hoping to see Yuji on one of these, he is so sweet natured and such a great cook. And Joe is a great companion.

This episode had me smiling all the way through, both Yuji and Joe were fantastic to watch and the result was mouthwatering on both counts.

Yuji's legit impressed reaction at 17:50 is the most wholesome and satisfying thing I've ever seen lol what a great episode

I adore Yuji, he is so down to earth and a sweet guy. Doesn't look down on ingredients good man.

My favorite part of every episode is when the home cook gets validation from the pro chef at the end.

I LOVE JOE The new guy is hilarious! Please use him more !!!

This was a fantastic episode. Both chefs are so chill. Vibes off the charts. Bring them back for another PLEASE

More of both these guys please! This was a great one.

the dynamic in this video was just so so wholesome. loved this one, need to see more of these two together :)

I loved how chill each individual was. Learned a lot from Yuji!

When I saw the ingredients and what they wanted Joe to make I thought they did him dirty but he rose to the challenge.

Picks up wasabi and says it's intimidating. Me thinking "Yep, that's expensive and hard to get."

Joe’s vibe is how I imagine Noel miller in like 10 years, he is so funny

I love how Joe looks like he’s learning surgery as he is breaking down the tuna spine

Joe's "FATALITY" is so perfect lmao

The warmth and lightheartedness of the playful banter at the end was the perfect way to start my morning

Two great chefs, with absolute humbleness, this warms my heart greatly

Lmao I laughed pretty hard when he was all "These are .. uh... leaves?"

i looove this chef! he's such a beautiful soul and unlike all of the other chefs he doesn't look down on any of the cheaper ingredients and that is why he manages to make a masterpiece like that!

YES! Bring Yugi on more please, he's my favorite chef in this series

The love and positivity between these two was so awesome to see. I hope they get their own show!

great vibes during the whole vid and of course great cooking

4:42 puts spoon in mouth, and back in bowl, truly a home cook.

imo your best episode yet, felt like a dish that was meant to be that expensive, as opposed to just adding random expensive ingredients for the sake of it

How awesome! Yuji and Joe are the best! They made this so great to watch! Thank you

Joe was made for this, he has a great voice and is very personable. You would do well to keep him around.

I love that Chef Yuji draws amusing little characters to help encourage the amateur chefs at the end of all his recipes 🥰🖌️ He seems like a nurturing, fun guy ❤

We always learn something from these videos - fish marrow, that's a new one! Plus, Joe is a riot, looking forward to seeing more of him!

I hope Joe actually got a job training under Chef Yuji cause that was one excellent blind interview!

If ever there were somebody destined to be a food scientist… Introducing Ms. Rosemary Trout.

I love how nice yuji was to Joe at the end

Ah the biggest challenge of them all, good thing it was not rigged horribly. Though Yuji gave Joe a challenge in making a kaiseki tier sushi piece rather than playing it safe and testing his knife work with just nigiri and Sashimi

Wait as a med student this is the first time I actually saw synovial fluid, this is crazy 😂

All I accomplished by watching this video was that I now have a raging craving for some sushi 😂

They were like awesome. The chef was so chill and nice and they had such a friendly vibe to them!!

both of these people were amazing to watch!

I love these videos. Joe is hilarious 😂 and Chef Yuji with a lot of great tips on how to take simple home ingredients to another level. Well done gents.

More Yuji please! He's brilliant, creative, and charming. And he makes sure that the home chefs have a good time!

I love it when the chefs include a cute sketch with the ingredient list!

theyre so cool omg, this is well done. i wanna eat sushi now.

3 seconds into the video and I already like joe.

This is the best home chef I have seen on these lol.

I enjoyed learning from you both. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Has to be the best episode I’ve seen!. Great guys…! More like this plz

This is one of my favorite episodes, no question.

Been waiting for this one!

this video is so perfect. tho humour of joe, yuji's knowledge and positivity, the editing and the fact that as someone that struggles with attention i didnt lose focus once

Joe was a great personality! Hope to see more of him
