Bro appreciate you opening up about your family and how things worked out. I hope you keep doing well.

Imagine coming to the comments thinking you know how to butcher fish better than Taku.

​@sonofabraham4094 he was saying in the video that people have commented telling him he should use a filet knife instead of his gyuto for fileting fish.

This vlog was so heart warming. Mitsuki is so cute, the joy in her face while fishing and the entire family enjoying the meals..🫶🏼 priceless. Hope you & jocelyn enjoy much more of your stay in Japan, Taku!

I’d say the Japanese are probably the pinnacle of fishing cultures. A lot of different people groups have some fishing techniques we can all learn from, but the Japanese know how to make masterpieces out of just a few materials and it is always awesome to watch and marvel at it all

Sitting here with my daughter who I don't always get to see. Thanks for spending time with your dad. It must have been excruciatingly painfull for them to lose eachother like that.

So cool to see you bonding with your family while doing something you all love and exploring the motherland 🇯🇵 Also... I ❤ the small knife bag I got 🙏 I feel like my knife skills have significantly improved with my purchase 😂

I didn't know they added a small knife bag....I might have to add that to my collection. LOL I LOOVE the regular knife bag. Any time I head to the coast for a fishing trip, that goes along with my weapons.

Thank you for including us in your beautiful family setting; you guys never fail to create a feeling of inclusion that you just don't get in other channels. I feel like I'm right there with you and smiling along with you and your family, and that is something that is irreplaceable

Your dads love for fishing runs through and mitsuki’s blood. So awesome to see her following your footsteps and I know it’s making your pops spend quality time with her too

I could watch you break down fish all day. Your skill is a beautiful thing.

Such great memories , reminds me of going fishing with my grandfather in Turkiye when I was young and we would visit from Canada. I had the bes time waking up at 4am going down to the row boat and rowing ou in the ocean and jigging of mackerel and picking mussels from rock out in the ocean close to shore. Kind of got a bi emotional watching this and seeing its. Thanks for sharing .

First time I heard about your family situation from Japan to the US. Thanks for sharing and great to see you enjoying your time with your dad's family in the Japan.

I’m so impressed with your skills and what you brought to the table. As a half Japanese and cook, what you did was impressive. There aren’t many folks at the sushi level that would have produced what you did. Kudos from AZ.

Man taku is the real deal. I don't know how to cook, so i am blown away by the variety of dishes that he cooked up and the different techniques that he used to prepare the fish. That just shows his prowess.

It was interesting to learn more about your family. I've been watching your channel on and off since you had 50k subs (brought by a collab with Hiro - diaries of a master sushi chef), but recently a lot more while recovering from a medical procedure. I love to cook for my family and it's just awesome to see a family sit down, interact, and have a good meal together. I like how you made it special with all the plating and chef tricks.. (hopefully not just for the youtube). Edit: And another thing. Your sister will remember this fish you prepared so nicely. Because she caught it and it was made into something really tasty. When I was a kid, I caught some really small fish that most people would release as they are just all bone. But my mom fried them up, and I thought it was the best thing ever. 25 years later and I am still very fond of that memory.

Love how your sister enjoyed it! It's always great when the kids enjoy the cooking, everyone loves seeing kids eat up.

I just wish I had your knives! Maybe give us a knife sharpening class someday ? Also? If possible I really love seeing how you process the entire fish in videos. From bleeding out to table. I know you’ve done it in the past but I feel it’s a huge part of “Catch and cook”. Cheers, Taku. I absolutely love your videos.

So happy to see someone cleaning fish the way I do. I worked as a sushi chef for 10 years and I was trained by Japanese chefs. I love to cut fish the same way you do. Debas and chef knives rule.

Hey Taku! Just wanted to say that because of you guys' amazing videos, I've just recently started fishing myself and I'm loving it! Thanks for all the great videos :)

You’ll look back on this trip for the rest of your life friend 🫡 happy you get these moments with family

Your very lucky to hang out with your father and family. ! And cook for them too. Good times brother. !!

Bless you ,for being a respectful person to cook for your Dad and everyone. I enjoyed watching every second of it!

Thank you for the explanation in the beginning of the video. When you get to know someone you are always curious about these kinds of things but of course no one wants to ask because it is considered rude. It is strange to be friends with someone however and not really understand their background. Obviously we arent "friends" in the literal sense but you are still part of so many people's lives if they sub to and follow your videos, so not having a general idea of who is who and what is what can be kind of frustrating for people like dating someone when you know nothing about their family or past. You feel like an outsider, a voyeur in a way, that dissipates over time as you learn more about someone. Without context it is very impersonal and people watch youtube as opposed to mainstream media and scripted shows because they want a personal experience.

thank you for releasing this after probably the hardest final I have ever taken it is very calming

It's so refreshing to watch. The fish are so beautiful and pretty over there. Was really enjoyable to watch.

I love this. Be-it strangers that become acquaintances and possibly lifelong friends, to visiting your family it's all so many memories and experiences .It's kinda special that your niece o believe??? is following in your footsteps & no doubt if she continues with passion that she will succeed. Furthermore I dunno how old but she is haha but she's sitting there eating talking about textures n flavors hahaha it's definitely in your family bloodline(I certainly wasn't doing that when I was a youngster and neither was any of my cousins or any of the such). The Japan trip is totally awesome guys and I always look forward to more adventures. I wish you guys many blessings and much love and success🙏 Edit- Im also happy & proud to be EFFIN DAY 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I remember subbing at around 70k. You deserve all the growth from the hard work you and Jocelyn have been doing

The presentation of the large platter adorned with the blue finned fish posed so energetically was a real high point. A family meal is great in any language! Thanks!

I’m so sorry your family got split up. Seems to be working out well tho. Your little sister is adorable. Another great video. All the best.

Bro best videos ever. I learn something on every video. And I've been fishing and spearfishing my whole life in hawaii. Always looking forward to what you've got in the next video

Great episode as always, Taku. You've got a beautiful family.

This is one of those channels that I have such respect for that I click the ♥️ button BEFORE I watch the video. Thank you for sharing your family’s story about how you came to the US. I feel sad for what happened to your dad and that it spit your family up.

The cooking creativity in this one was top notch. Love the title as you exactly portrayed this in your cooking

Incredible presentation for your family... Bravo... Greetings from Wyoming... Your little sister seems so sweet and intelligent..

It amazes me every time you plate a dish. Your skill is inspiring! Ganbare Taku Sensei!

Thanks for sharing that story bro. Hard work pays off , keep up that good work.

Crazy to think 4 years have pasted. Started at ~30k or something. Remember when you announced full time KZread. A great journey you and Jocelyn have had. Would love to visit Japan...

She is damned KAWAII though and she's already got the fishing bug. Plus I am already subbed her channel and seeing her grow. Hope you go home more often for trips to see Japan fishing.

🔥🔥🔥 episode Taku, and the presentations were spectacular Brotha 🫡! Loving the series, and thank your family for us please for being on the channel. 🍻cheers to you and Jocelyn, enjoy your time there. Keep bringing the excellent content y’all 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

Lots of mmming at the table is always a good sign that the food is appreciated , well done Taku.

Every time I hear that bell tone it reminds me of my childhood. Growing up in Hawaii with all the cultures intermingling.... The Japanese side was dominant. Awesome vid Taku.

Lived in Japan most of my adult life, They are perfectionist in every aspect, from cooking, working even on public transportation, on time every time. My only complaint, their love for tobacco and coffee. My many girlfriends chose smoking over me and my tries to get them to cutback .😅😂. All good, Everyone has vices. I Never even thought of eating raw fish or even rice until I moved there in the 83. Now I love both. Daijobo! Gambate ne!

buddy of mine told me about your channel after he went to the restaurant you worked at shortly before you left if im not mistaken, been a long time lurker ever since. one of like 2 channels who’s videos I watch entirely through. been fishing my whole life and you have inspired me to get into cooking as well. love your channel and the japan content. TIGHT LINES🎣

Brooo you’re food is top of the bill, great work taku.

What a life! Heaven on Earth. Doing what you love with the family is priceless! Always looking forward to your content. Have a wonderful time

Knife is life! im just a simple person who loves to cook and really love japanese food.. It is always my dream of having a real japanese knife.. Big fan here from Philippines..

Hello my name is cocky and cocky I am. I am the best no one is better than I. 😂 thank you tacu for showing us the true meaning of being humble and I love watching your videos

Tako you’re simply amazing buddy what talent you carry with you around the world !!!

🌴 Hey y’all, I gotta say as much as I love all the places and adventures you two took us to I absolutely love it when your in Japan, there’s something like I see you more in your element you seem in tune with everything , the family being there and Jocelyn melts right in with you , the fish and plating were bad azz, you should do a vid on Japanese knives while your there if you can, inflatable boats and fishing hooks 😳scary ! 👊🏼✌🏼

Great to see and meet your family that are in Japan. Love the obvious bond your father and little so adorable sister have. Thanks for letting us join your family on this journey Taku. You're da bomb bro.

Taku, your channel is so underrated. I’ve been watching since you were doing videos after work. Just when I think you can possibly impress any further, you come out with this masterpiece. Please, please, please open a restaurant

There are over 100 unmanned squid boat catchers with their bright lights off of Hong Kong waters, May is the start of squid🦑 season.

Beautiful family, Taku, awesome dinner.

My daughter is about to turn 1 and her older half-brother is 14, so it's super cute to see how much Mitsuki looks up to Taku. I hope my kids spend time together like this when they're older.

That sounds like a hard thing to go through as a child. Thanks for sharing that and your special time with your family with us. It always blows me away how you're able to plate so beautifully!

Loved how you showed how to do a salt brine, I have always wondered how it was done without water. I always seem to use too much salt with I do salmon, and it looks like you just sprinkle a little on both sides and let it sit a bit

Perfect timing! Thanks 🙏

Loving this Japanese series!

What a wonderful time with the family. Thanks for bringing us along!

Love the content you are putting out keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing your story !

Great episode guys!!

been waiting for this all day

Love seeing you at home in your culture and w your family!!

Great video Taku! It’s awesome that we’ve been able to spend time with your family in Japan. The meal you prepared looked beyond delicious. And no doubt that your little sister has stolen many hearts, she is very cute. Thanks for sharing!

I am so happy for you that you had an opportunity to visit with your family.... It's most important to be with family....

Taku the meal prepared for the family looks absolutely amazing and I am sure that it was delicious 😋, and like nearly every video of yours I really enjoyed this episode very much.👏👏👏

His knowledge and culinary skills are so vast! I can't imagine learning all that and mastering everything. Very impressive!

Thank you for sharing!

As much as I’m sure you’re doing fine now, that story is so sad… I love watching these videos with the fam!

Awesome watching you enjoy a meal with loved ones. 🙏🏻❤

The scenery is so beautiful there, as is your little sister. The fish preparation was also very well done.

Family is Everything!

1:15 What a beautiful location.

I know it takes a lot to talk about your family. I am 43 and my wife is 41..we’ve been married 18+ years. We have 2 boys, 17 and 8. Very similar situation in my wife’s family. Her parents split and she now has a 9 year old brother. Everything happens for a reason and you now have a wonderful sister. Stay safe and God Bless!

Taku is making my traveling bucket list way too long

Thank you so much for telling your life story bro my hats off to you 👍🏽
