After 9 trips to Japan, the thing I love about Japanese culture is the care, attention to detail, and the ability to raise any activity to an art form, from taking a bath to dining on sushi. I miss the people from the land of the rising sun. I hope to some day visit again.

16:15 Maidenhair tree...also a gingko tree, is certainly a softer wood...similar to some harder pine species (for those of you here in the U.S.)...with a hardness of about 3300N. Here in the U.S. people all want hardwood cutting boards that are twice as hard as that because they don't realize how bad it is for their knives. They just want what LOOKS good and don't really care too much about what actually WORKS well.

The hands of the Master Sushi Chef while making the nigiri had a rhythm and the technique. Everything has a purpose.

I love how sushi is just as much an art as it is a cuisine.

the chef makes it took sooo easy to do onigiri omg

Watching the sushi preparation is awesome, it's all so well put together with precision.

With the preparation style and the intense emphasis on proper etiquette, no wonder Japanese cuisine is listed as one of the Five Great Cuisines. It really is like the Eastern Hemisphere’s version of haute cuisine.

This is so interesting! The sushi chef is SUCH an artist!

Honestly, the hidden gem experience series are my favourite videos! I really feel like I get an idea of the experience and it teaches me about the best authentic experiences available in Kyoto. I hope viewership increases for these videos because it’s one of the reasons I love the channel!❤️❤️❤️

What everyone wants to know, of course, is did you hold your hand 3.2 inches up from the edge at a 48º angle when you flipped open the _noren?_

Shogo you always have the FRESHEST and most DELICIOUS Japan content on KZread!

The way Shogo says: " exactly" in enbedded in my heart

That food and restaurant look absolutely divine.

I got recommended this channel... I have been binge watching. Thank you for the culture experience and education.

I'd love to go there and try the sushi just like you did. They looked so delicious.

This was such a wonderful video. I love sushi but I usually wind up dining alone because no one else around me is interested. Also, this chef really elevated his sushi to the highest level and watching Japanese people experience his creations together made me feel like I was back in Japan. Uni is one of my favorites and I will dream of having uni sushi like the one you had.

I would absolutely love to watch the process of how the sushi chef made the egg dish to make the egg cube. That would be a special treat to know how to make it at home... or at least try to make it at home. Thank you Shogo for such a lovely treat!!!

I like the calming atmosphere the whole experience has Anybody who visits is sure to have a wonderful time eating at said restaurant

Thank you for sharing this Shogo Sensei!! I will have to visit that sushi restaurant when I’m in Kyoto! 🙏

Ok I'll admit it, I'm jealous. Coming back to Japan ASAP.

Sushi is really delicious and I love sushi and onigiri rice balls so much! I always make some at home and seeing how professionals make sushi is really amazing and so tasty! Thank you so much for a great video Shogo!

Wow that looked so delicious, idk why but the rice ball looked the most appealing.

I love this. I just love the Japanese culture, so much thought and attention to detail go into things...the eating experience...everything is done perfectly with such care and effort. The surroundings are comfortable, immaculately clean, relaxing. The food is made and presented like fine art, portion sizes are perfect, everything is presented and timed just right. Truly a feast for the senses. Love the look of that ark shell. Like a bowtie!

Watching the prep work shows the true artisan and craftsman of the servers. Impressive 👍

Thank You for always sharing your experiences with us . Here in Maryland we are able to go fishing in the Chesapeake Bay for Rock fish , which is also known as Stripped Bass . I really envy you and your family and friends . Thanks again for sharing and I hope you are doing well and staying healthy .

Wish I had the money to go to Japan, I don't know much about the language, but I know plenty about the culture from just watching Shogo. I'm currently learning Japanese, and once I do, watch out Japan! I'm coming for you! :D

The amount of detail in your washoku cuisine is just... A lot. Kind of makes me wonder whether you all made this up/Invented it out of boredom or out of artistic sophistry. Come to India if you can Shogo - san. Will treat you to some dishes here. Though I guess you Japanese people might be weirded out by our... closeness.

Yes definitely different than any sushi I've eaten in America.

I had no idea before I clicked on this that you guys went to such a fancy place! So many servings and so much time and attention on each bite!

I found this because I started listening to your podcast on spotify. Please link promote them more on your KZread channel episodes. I see missed opportunities to put "in screen" links on videos that have a connection. I know these type of videos are much more work but these outings are enchanting. All the best to you and your team.

Yeah cost definitely is a factor for ne too! In the US I ate sushi a lot growing up... but later, with an adult appetite (and budget), it just was too expensive, $100 (10,000 ¥)... and that was of mediocre quality I imagine a meal as exquisite as this would be a lot more?

Extremely jealous great video shogo

I like the small amount of rice used.

Amazing video!!!🤩🤩🤩

This is so cool! Arigatou! I've seen seen rice cooked by fire!

Awesome.

I’ll be dreaming of eating sushi 🍱 tonight✨

Hey, it's a thing with this video, this seems like the type of place, but you make reservations, within a month or a week in advance, but most likely, a month in advance and it's very expensive.

I'm so hungry now. Will be going to buy cheap sushi later.

Very interesting

Bravo

nice live sushi prep.

Eguii subarashii, sushi mecca kirei 🥺👏🏻

Big fan.

I'd have to try, if I would say if I liked it. But beautiful place

Hi shogo! Can you explain what’s the difference of samurai and ninja/shinobi? Keep up the great work!

now THAT'S a cutting board! i'm guessing not from ikea.. 🙂 though wouldn't it be funny if a sushi chef came across one that happened to be perfectly suited but it happened to be part of a dresser

Sushi looks so amazing. I got confused by the video since it kept showing Shogo from different angles not his dinner companion. What happened did your friend have messy hair and didn't want to be on camera? it looks like you had a amazing time though

WOW...😃😎👍

What a life!

So curious to know the cost of this tasting menu!

And now I'm hungry again...

Next time Shogo must focus on shooting and let Tomoko and Kazu do the eating of the deliciousness.

Hi Shogo San, how much was this chef’s course? I would like to put it on my list if I ever find time to visit Japan! ^_^

I'm getting really hungry now...

UMAI! 👺

It looks really amazing but how much would a full meal at that restaurant cost?

Was that sudati that the chef squeezed to accent one of the conger eel preparations?

See how the Chefs kimono is tied up? This is what I was taught my sageo was for when not securing the blade. To keep your sleeves from interfering with movements.

Oishi!!

ごちそうさまでした!

I really wanna start Iaido but i don't have enough money, do you know where i can find a little bit cheaper uniforms? btw love your content

I noticed that the Apprentice brushed on some tare or sauce on the sushi. I was wondering about how much per person.

Hey Shogo is there anywhere that you recommend buying a katana from?

So what season is uni not in season? I want to go, but I don't like uni. :(

A question: In omakasé restaurants can I ask that some type of food NOT to be among the choices the chef makes? I'm extremely allergic to shellfish (shrimp, lobster, crab, prawns, etc.), so even though I'd love to visit a restaurant like the one shown in the video, I'd have to avoid it if I can't make sure I won't be offered things I can't and won't eat.

I'm sure it's a combination of both the ingredients and the way it is prepared in America they don't spend a lot of time to an individual person we tend to mass produce for more people to earn higher profits.

I've never been offered the mayo and also rice is served but not as a rice ball. Some sushi is wrapped in seaweed but never the rice. And if I remember correctly in the video he mentioned that rice was kept in vinegar to keep it fresh. Most Americans don't like vinegar so our rice is manufactured and stored differently. I would love to taste a true Japanese rice ball some day. Thanks again for telling me about sushi in your country I appreciate it. Take care
