"Thank you for waiting", wow this just makes so much difference compared to "Sorry for taking so long". This man is brilliant. I would really love to eat the food he serves and also learn some Japanese from him now.

This video shows eating Sushi and a ceremony and not a food in the stomach. Also asking of dislike or allergy for certain food reflects how responsible he is. Brilliant.

I'm in love with everything about this. The etiquette and the systematic way of doing things. Everything is super clean, white and orderly. The chef is so clean, well groomed and polite. I like the stiffness about him and how he does his work so very meticulously! I love watching his nimble fingers work; smooth, fast and effortless! It's an art. I'm sure the sushi tastes great!

He is such a famous chef, Aoki-san of one of the most famous sushi restaurant, "Aoki."

I know I have always loved Japanese people for their discipline..the rules can sound intimidating to many but it's actually so calming when you're putting all your senses to the present moment and only then you can enjoy to the fullest.

Best How-to-eat-sushi video I've seen. It's Japanese. It's Authentic.

I'd love to eat sushi made from this chef!

Watching this Chef preparing the nigiri is like watching a practiced Magician. Such fluid motion of the hands, with not a single wasted movement.

The chef is so polite that I couldn't resist his offer to me even if I'm already full and puking.

honestly speaking, I LOVE SUSHI and SASHIMI of japan. the taste is good. the chef is polite and clean. he is also approachable to the costumer if the have some allergies to avoid itchy to their body... how i wish someday i can be your apprentice in your restaurant. it is the great honor for me.

That was incredibly delightful to watch. Eating sushi is truly an art form with the utmost respect to compliment the chef.

I watched the top 5 videos about how to eat sushi, and I think this is the best one.

Excellent video. I'm glad you went with soothing traditional music instead of something else, which ruins everything for me.

Wow! I would love to eat in his restaurant If I go to Japan, he's so polite and the sushi are prepared nicely with love 😊

Very simple and nicely done. I recently had Omakase style here in the states and I think the chef had fun handing me different things. I loved the bit of wasabi under the fish in the nigiri. It needed no additional soy or wasabi. I can't wait to do that again!

this is the best explanation so far

I really love that you made a proper and professional video :) I'm really glad that it's okay to use my hand while eating sushi. I can use chopsticks but I might do it a bit wrong since after a short period my fingers start to hurt and it's difficult to hold the chopsticks like that.

I am so surprised, I didn't know you can eat sushi using hand instead of chopsticks (in the sense that it's allowed). Sometimes the pieces are huge and awkward. Beautiful video, makes me want to experience the cuisine in Japan. As others said before me, it's very clean and calm and professional, I don't like crowdy and noisy places to go out to eat.

From the etiquette point of view, does it make a difference between eating with your fingers or chopsticks? Are chopsticks more "exotic" or anything like that?

I also like to have regular self service sushi with ponzu and think it very appropriate, but wonder why it's never an option alongside the normal soy satchets.

The crazy thing is that his restaurant is next to impossible to book

Excellent video! What I would like to know though is if the chef would be offended if a customer decided to add some wasabi or some soy sauce to their sushi? Also, what happens in their restaurant that offends them the most?

@SavorJapan

7 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment. In the formal way to have sushi, you'd better abstain from adding more wasabi and dipping too much soy sauce. Eating just a sushi topping without rice is the most offened because that can not be considered sushi anymore. We hope these ideas would help!

If you live in america though, it's good to keep in mind that many chefs do not add wasabi to the sushi. It can be hard to tell whether the chef intends for you to add wasabi the first time, but it becomes clear pretty quickly whether they expect you to add your own

You can't group sushi and sashimi together, they have their own way of eating. You have to eat sushi/nigiri with the rice. For sashimi you add a little bit of wasabi on top of the fish then you dip it to the soy sauce. If the fish was too big then you have to fold it using your chopstick then dip it to the soy sauce.

Actually you need to add Japanese sake to make it perfectly. Find your answer below and we hope it will suffice! A) soy sauce : sake : mirin = 8 : 1 : 1 Boil sake and mirin first, turn the heat lower, then add soy sauce, skim the scum if it comes out, turn off the heat before boiling again and cool the sauce to serve.

These strict rules are more for more traditional sushi places. By extension, such sushi places would not serve such rolls, as they are not traditional, and hence the question is a moot point. More practically, depends on the quality of the roll. A good roll with proper rice and technique should be fine either way, but if the rice doesn't hold together well, it might be messy to eat with your fingers.

so if i choose omakase then i would pay more because the chef choose the food for me isn't it? sorry i don't understand.

Sixty five years ago a sushiya didn't have a "chef". Most of them didn't even have refrigeration, and instead were dependent on ice blocks covered with cloth to set the o0fferings on. Back then no one used hashi to eat sushi. It's sad to see modernization ruin tradition. People went to a sushiya to enjoy the food not to be lectured on how to??
