    🍣 About The Sushi Man:
    Jun Nakajima, CHEF AND FOUNDER
    Raised in a restaurant household, Jun's love for food began at a very early age. His parents have owned and operated a Japanese restaurant for over 30 years where he practiced and honed his culinary skills.
    Somewhat forced upon, he was taught the art of sushi making in his teenage years. He quickly fell in love not only with the art but the endless opportunities that came with it.
    He has traveled around the globe to try different styles of sushi, most importantly to Japan.
    After college, Jun had taken an opportunity to live in the motherland of sushi, working for something completely outside the culinary field. In those two years his appreciation of the culture, people, history and food deepened.
    He became addicted to the food scene and found himself traveling from one end of the island to the other, eating and drinking some of the best foods and drinks he's ever had. This experience became the seed which eventually bloomed to become The Sushi Man.

    Great vid. But I've never seen someone cut an avocado bottom to top, looks very awkward and more difficult to keep your fingers out of the way. Top to bottom is a lot easier and more natural. Each to their own though I guess :)
    If you twist the knife/seed after you've put the knife into it seed, it's a lot easier to get out and you don't need to go so deep.

    • @TheSushiMan
      @TheSushiMan  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks for your input Dave, and yes I've seen many chefs do it both ways but for me bottom to top feels more natural. Either way is totally fine though as long as you don't cut yourself 😅

      @@TheSushiMan thanks for the reply and yeah best to learn all of the techniques. Quick question, what’s the best way to store tobiko? My Asian market only sells them frozen in 500g Tupperware boxes

    • @TheSushiMan
      @TheSushiMan  Před rokem +1

      What we usually do is store them in air-tight freezer-safe containers or Ziploc bags and freeze them. If the tobiko already comes frozen then defrost it partially, just enough so that you can divide it out into the smaller containers. I would recommend using it sooner than later, maybe within a couple months or so and just keep an eye out for any freezer burn. Hope that helps!

    Cutting towards your fingers where you can't see seems like a recipe for disaster. No food preparation is worth cut up fingers!

    • @acari7005
      @acari7005 Před 5 měsíci

      If you’re inexperienced with knives, yes, this can be very dangerous. But people who cut like this are usually extremely comfortable and aware of their knife/knife movements. They’ve done this enough that they know what angle to cut at and how fast to cut to ensure they don’t get hurt. In this case, the way he’s slicing is also very efficient in terms of speed and smoothness (as long as you know what you’re doing!). Personally, while I’m not expert, I find that cutting towards myself feels more natural and controlled than doing whatever it takes to keep the blade far away from my hands.
