I went to school with this guy and his younger brother in Tigard, Oregon! Great guy, great family.
Jordan Brown thats hard to believe... weird that your watching him make sushi and that hes now well known...
@@robert_dawes the dude didn't hate or say anything negative you don't need to question everything just cause he's known everyone went to school smh
@@blackkidfromheyarnold4442 exactly
@@robert_dawes u jelly?
Sure u did
it’s the same guy who prepared 12 different fish for sushi! I love how he seems a lot more relaxed in this video
He look much better now
He was on meth at the time
I think the lighting helps this time.
I recognized him too!
@@BillyBob-mw7ho any one has the link?
Calling out the name of the sushi he makes sounds like they're bout to graduate
I love how for every piece of sushi he names the exact name of the Japanese province as the fish's origin... except for the chub mackerel, which is just "from Japan". lol
@@lynth lol and the egg was just "egg"
College football intros
They graduate when I poop them out. That’s when I call their names out
This guy flipped an omelet with chop sticks better than I do with a spatula
And better than I flip scrambled eggs with a spatula
That's the reason I only make scrambled eggs with indian twist to add more taste.
That’s not impressive when you have a non stick pan. Your pan is just really trash.
UltimateChoji An In the video he literally points out that the pan does not have any “non-stick” qualities. It’s impressive
Emmanuel Apusen I never said that he used a non stick pan, read my comment correctly and don’t jump to conclusions based on their own personal interpretation without a base. Now on the the claim, he said that he used a stainless steel pan, its a pretty good quality pan that doesn’t have non stick properties, but doesn’t have sticking properties either, look at the amount of oil he is using, with a stainless steel pan and that much oil, it’s essentially the same as a non stick pan, and with that even he claims that flipping isn’t the hardest part, it’s the sticking properties of the pan. So no it’s not impressive.
As a Japanese, I can feel his passion and his cuisine must be good because of his way of making tamago!!
That’s true. Me also as a Japanese, I can see how passionate he is. We can always tell how the person is dedicated by seeing tamago they make.
as a Nigerian prince, I too can feel his passion and his cuisine must be good. Does anyone have money I can borrow?
@@alvinchen5700 as citizen of atlantis i do also feel he is very passionate in his tamago
As an alien I do too see his passion in the tamago he makes. Also good for probing. I give this a 9/11
@@danubhrata as a multi dimensional being i too am fascinated in this human's passion in unborn chicken fetus sponge
6:09 Crab: "
I shouldn't have come"
lmao
Poor crab 😔
You heard him, people don't tell him anything about what he's doing. He just learn and watch. And it's just great that he have come this far!
I love how chill and knowledgeable he is, you know he loves what he does!
I really enjoyed the editing, but I can see this man loves what he does, he found his purpose and that is commendable
Why did I have to watch that at 1.30am, everything was fine up to this point but now i'm starving and I have a strong craving for sushis.
Damn son. I just checked the time and its 1:30 for me as well. The algorithms know when to suggest this video.
it’s 1:17 am.... funny 😂
Lmao 4am here
Eater is arguably the most inspiring culinary channel in CZcams. Amazing guys.
i am a simple man. i see a new omakase video, i drop everything and watch.
Legend has it. He even salts his toothpaste every morning.
Lol. And here I thought I was a salt addict, but DANG that's a truckload of salt going onto the fish! XD
@@kouvang3003 all about that umami
HAHAHA! That’s the best comment I read all day! :)
Even your kidney has rich omami.hahahaha
FlowerofDissolution it doesn’t absorb into the fish it sits on top and brings out flavor then he washes it off
*cinematic introduction walkin to restaurant*
Japan: "Itarashai!"
This guy: "Whatup dude"
XD
You mean irashaimase
@@mynamejeff4618 oh true, i mixed my japanese up XD
Been watching lots of sushi masters on CZcams all are fascinating but this guy in particular is gifted...i can literally feel the taste just by watching the video especially the crab salad part
I've just stumbled upon this video, because I searched for an easy Tamago receipe.
But then I couldn't stop watching. Someone who is so deeply concentrated and focused in the process of making tamago, creates an own aesthetic in his moves and the way he looks. Everything looks like a coordinated orchestrated movement for such a "simple" thing. Really impressing. I'm really sad that portland is so far away. I would really like to see this in real and taste the sushi they create. It looks very interesting and aesthetic.
Me too lol
I don't even like Sushi..yet I love this series
Title could be more modest I think, but I can feel his passion and dedication to his work. Love to see Edomae style sushi. And Id love to eat there to try the tamago !
can u do what he doing? i didn’t think so lol
As someone that doesn’t eat fish or sushi…I LOVE that eater features these awesome people that take such pride in their work. I come back to this video and others like it time and time again. I’d love to work with this guy.
Japanese: Folds Samurai sword 10,000 times in forging process.
Also Japanese: Folds eggs 10,000 times in omelet making process.
When all u have is cheapass canned tuna, crappy rice and imagination...
No not 10,000 times for swords. Average master you watch hits about 100. Only a few go to 1000 folds. Its not going to guarantee better steel and the myth is busted it makes it superior to other swords.
Metals of todays smiths are comparable to strength and quality. Where it differs is the methods of forging. There way is not applicable to other materials used over time. Even modernized kitchen knife makers with equipment don’t often go past 50 folds. Were talking 500 dollar knives that in many cases are of other blacksmith quality.
@@1014p yeah buddy... I took a bit of liberty with the numbers. Completely intentional, and not worthy of a fact check 8 months on... 😇
“Chub mackerel...coming from...uhhh somewhere in Japan idk” lol
Its all over the Pacific ocean
@@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084 Yes, but most sushi chefs who import fish from Japan can tell you where it was caught and why that place is better. Supposedly.
Then again a reputable broker would have had that information too.
So it kind of stands out that Auger here doesn't know.
I don’t get it....
@@recoil53 or maybe he had a brain fart
Yea I found that weird because he named other specific places in Japan for others, but just "Japan" for that one lol....
All whilst I'm eating 'imitation crab' coming from the 'frozen foods' section at the 'local minimart'.
which is actually not even made of crab. it's made of ground up fish meat and other bits.
@@derek400004 so you mean they're not made of crabs that went to acting school?
@@Civilmonkey1 Lol 🤷♂️
Haha, same, with some mustard and some wasabi on, its good!
@@Kosackk oh it's great for getting that crab out of your system real quick.
great to see him on youtube again after the bon appétit video. love this guy
Saw him first on Bon Appetite and I immediately wanted more Cody content. Thanks for having him Eater!
Watching this guy make art with incredible ingredients while I am sitting here eating out of a jar of pickles.
Need that universal sauce in my life
Very humble person.. I enjoy watching alot, all the explanation is in detailed!.. so inspiring.
Absolutely love ur style bro! Being half Japanese i completely understand ur passion as far as how it intrigued u n where ur though process coming from. ur killing it!
Well manicured hands... I love it. It’s making the sushi presentation more appealing for some reason.
Haven't eaten sushi in my whole life yet... already watched like tons of videos about it though...
It’s so good bruh
@@milklover126 that's the problem... where I come from all reviews are bad...
Same here, and I live in Japan. I think I would eat the last one, the Tamago sushi :)
Sushi might be difficult to like, depends on the freshness of the ingredients, might want to go to a well known sushi place to not be dissapointed easily, unless youre like me who likes sushi regardless of where i can get it lel
You are missing out
Happy 2022
Thank you very much for this very detail demonstration of Japanese food preparation.
I grew up eating Dungeness crab right off the boat in Southeast Alaska. Best crab in the world, hands down. Everyone wants that giant king crab, and they can have it. The dungees are where it's at.
As a sushi chef for 12 yrs my self, I can say I like this guy passions for sushi. Working with him would be great and fun, minus the yelling and cursing when you work with a real old traditional Japanese chef.....hahaha......
I worked with him years ago. He's very humble. Straight forward, but soft spoken.
Amazing skills. Just incredible
You can see his love and dedication on his craft.
the first time I see chef who soo focus when cooking... amazing... he so careful and perfectionist ... amazing...
I want him to toss me around like a seasoned mackerel
hahaha oh my gawd!!!!!!
Or tickle you like a crab?? hilarious
😂😂😂
I like how he went the extra mile with getting the best of the best seafood depending on the area it comes from. Great job.
Great video! Love the piano through his serving.
Seeing fish from home in Atlantic Canada shine as sushi makes me really happy! Thank you Nimble Fish!
One of the best sushi restaurant in Portland Oregon!
He is a smart Guy, he will become a renowned Chef in about 10 yrs
this mangive you a free trip from every prefecture in japan, GOAT.
Stunning skill. Expertly shot and edited video.
The preparation is so cute. Every step is like a work of art. And he is so particular with fat contents while I eat fish and crabs without reminding myself on those fat contents 😂
thank god i live right next Portland! definitely going here soon!
No your not .
I was captivated by this video. So good in so many ways.
Very nice to see your own touch to your skill . Looks very delicious! I love sushi.
If only they could sashimi now!
I really enjoyed watching this upload! I do love monk fish liver but never had it this way. I need to try it out! The only ever sashimi I tried to do was with atlantic mackerel and I loved it although it was certainly poorly executed.
If you liked mackerel sashimi you would defs like the more subtle ones too ! Tuna , kingfish and salmon are great ^_^
My man said strongness instead of strength. God bless and much love to a true chef.
I was in school with that mackerel. Great fish. Amazing swimmer. Lovely family
There's something I've been noticing lately: Every middle-to-high-class restaurant including the casino buffet I work at uses the same styles of dishes and pans to store ingredients, hot-held food, and cold-held food. I think our supplier is Webstaurant but if there are others, please reply because I'm suddenly fascinated by this.
Webstaurant is a pretty popular one. The restaurant I work at primarily gets our supply from them, as well as many others in the city.
i’ve used the same pans working in restaurants/ a deli across the country over like 10 years. same kind of dishes
Wait,, this is my city!! I'm going here asap!
Did you end up going before everything went crazy?
@@ShethTora thankfully its on the less crazy side of the river
Never stop making videos like this i love these
His tamagoyaki is dashimaki, I like that. I will make sure to visit the restaurant when I go to Oregon
The presentation of the fish, at the end, reminded me of Miss America
I feel like this video deserves better music
There are levels to this game. His curiosity is commendable, but those calling him a 'master' have never seen someone like Saito in action.
The last shot with all the pieces lined up is pure art
I wasn't focused as he is too handsome since the beginning of the video
Yes he is. A bit too much 😂
Lame ass haters. I wish him the best, and prosperity 🤙🏼
Amazing video and his life observations got him far.
It's about time you bring Cody into this series
Glad to see he's exploring his heritage and roots. The food looks phenomenal.
That pianist is off the hook!! Love this channel so much!!
Quality craftsmanship with the sushi. This is exquisite. Cheers
I've dined at Cody's establishments many times. Nimblefish is a must for any sushi lovers visiting Portland!
5:33 alone that Omelette looks tasty :o
"tamago. egg omelette...from the local grocers."
Great job man. You have a great skill and your passion is awesome to see now is just a matter of time until I come to visit and eat at your restaurant.
I adore the music in this video. Also I got really hungry.
This is really perfect
You again?!
“Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime”
Shut up
You have 33 likes be nobody cares
U following me?
Genius. Imagine taking that much time to create such amazing food.
Uh.... that’s what real sushi is supposed to be. And this guy is not that good at it at all.
alexsakon uh, I’ve been to japan many times. Sushi has many interpretations. There is no such thing as “real sushi” anymore.
If you can’t easily tell that this guy isn’t good at what what he does you obviously haven’t had “real sushi”. Yes, there is a very clear cut definition of what edomae sushi is.
alexsakon ok. Have fun at your all you can eat. Troll
Amazing!! Really love the omelette flipping technique. And those sushi looks yum 🤤😍😍
Superb technik , look forward to enjoy your cuisine when I travel to Oregon , good job , and keep the tradition going
The dude who came to film and got to eat hella sushi is lucky af.
Love hearing from Nova Scotia that's where I live
Same though I wonder where I. Nova Scotia he got the fish
That last plate looks delicious!!!!
Beautifully shot, great video.
5:47 he boiled the crab alive
Scumbag.
Its like watching Miss universe but fish lmao naming them all then from where ever they came from lol
Chub Mackeral is concerned about the peoples of US Americas and countries such like the South Africas such as Iraq not having maps. czcams.com/video/lj3iNxZ8Dww/video.html
Wawww. Watching this before sleeping really helps 😴
Wow. I’m definitely going to pay his restaurant a visit next time I’m in Portland.
Wow! Yum... and im not talking about the food 😍
???
Nova Scotia representing.
Oh man going to hit up Sushi for lunch tomorrow. Amazing video content🤤🍣
the tattoos on his arms are also works of art
hehe love these videos, so soothing to watch when youre high off your mind :')
I’d like to know where he apprenticed to be a sushi chef. No true sushi master will let you touch the tamago on your first day. It’s the last training given by top tier sushi chef. He has talent and passion, and a good master sushi chef could have helped him a lot.
Nice job, Cody. Hokusai was the best sushi meal I've had and I'll check our Nimble Fish next time I'm in Portland in a few weeks.
Pretty excited for this Stay Home to get lifted. I know where I am heading to get some food. DIdnt even know this was in my back yard lol
Not being explicitly taught anything seems the most difficult part.

Awesome! Love it. Thank you.
That’s nice decorating of variety sushi 🍣. You making me hungry 😋 and yummy.
This man is the perfect mixture of White and Asian! The heck❤️
I can't concentrate on his cooking because .. damn.. he is hot
Me too🤣
Stop objectifying men you sleaze!
@@jackculler1489 I am a man..
I know it’s a joke but for sake of argument..let’s say you were “objectifying” which I don’t know if you are, but if you were...your personal gender wouldn’t matter in terms of objectification. But yes he is a good looking person
@@mfismail2 i never said or assumed you where a woman though...
This video is pure inspiration!
Man that just looks incredible.
