I had omakase in Fukuoka yesterday. I appreciated the fact that all of my nigiri had sauces/salts already applied so I didn't have to dip in shoyu.

Thank you for the video! Great to compare seasonal changes with the food for each restaurant. Personally, I have never been to Satake in my travels but definitely would not mind to try it someday if I have a spare spot in my itinerary. I have the opportunity to visit Arai-san in July (amongst a couple of new sushiyas that I am trying) so fingers crossed that it's delicious. When are you next back to Japan?

what lovely editing and post

Oooh yes! I'm excited for your visit there!

Thanks for including the chef Satake's mention of his tuna broker. I read a couple of interviews with the head of the Yamayuki Group, Yakita Yamaguchi which gave me a greater appreciation for the work that goes into getting the best tuna to the top end restaurants. Based on the possibility of operating losses in the tuna game (which is his primary passion) his group is has other related businesses to diversify their portfolio. If the "night owl" who runs this channel ever gets insomnia and finds herself awake when the fish markets are opening ... maybe we'll get a special episode? 😅

There is a very low chance this night owl will be awake during those times; but if it does happen, I'll try my best to showcase the experience! 😴☺️

YES

It is! Reservations are relatively easy as well. There should be no trouble finding seats two/three weeks ahead

How does the a la carte work? Do you pay extra for that?

zoon in more text time we cant see well enough.....

I have seen a lot of omakase videos here on youtube and have yet to see one video where not only the chef is wearing gloves as he makes sushi and people using chopsticks. Is this some sort of requirement when you go to these places? To not use chopsticks when you eat?

Sushi chefs typically don’t wear gloves because they need to feel the texture of the rice and the temperature of the fish when preparing nigiri. While eating sushi with your hands is optional, using chopsticks may lead the chef to make the rice slightly tighter. Eating with your hands gives you more control, making it easier to move the nigiri from the geta to your mouth. Hope this helps!

I was suprised that they acutally recognized me! It was such a nice touch to be seated in front of Chef Satake this time Bad. I only know a few common phrases in Japanese. The manager kindly helps with translation, which really makes the experience more comforting and enjoyable!
