Kono is always such a chill and humble guy. Not matter where you see him. No secrets, just a master at his craft. Happy to share with everyone.
He shares them as without a significant amount of practice, you will never be able to make anything as good as him anyway. Culturally apprenticeship is actually a very common way to learn these things in Japan
I love his attitude!
Chef has a great laugh and he’s so willing to share a few subtle details. Thanks for inviting him on Esther.
Chef Kono is awesome ... give this guy an Eater CZcams series "How to do Japanese Yakitori at home! "
"You can take this home with you"
Chef: ok good, this would be nice decorations.....
Lol..
😂😂
TheTrenya 😂
Omg I was literally looking for this gadgets last night!
I see him in so many videos! Im glad his carrier has taken off twice over!
Carrier has arrived.
@@fingerbottom not enough pylons!
God damn it you beat ne to it.
Career*
Imagine if his career takes off too
Is that a smoke alarm I hear going off in the background? 😂
Their dedication to keeping composure and finishing the shoot is commendable.
Which Minute?
@@Beachn2407 3-4 minutes
That maybe a CO alarm because they already told you cannot do it indoors.
4:06 and 4:14
Really nice video and highly entertaining. What a chef!!! :)
Love this guy
Amazing chef! Loved it :)
I went to my local Japanese restaurant and they do yakitori and sushi only, specifically for those two type of Japanese cuisine, oh man that Smokey flavor is so good. I love chicken heart, liver, and thighs. Yea, Yakitori is so worth it, especially barbecue it takes 6-8 hours to smoke a meat. Love yakitori, its so good.
07:23 -- "Yakitori robot" LOL!
In the US some throw away chicken skin. When I visited Japan, there was a Yakitori place that wrapped the pieces of chicken in more chicken skin, they called it Fatty Chicken. It was simply genius. The outer layer skin was super crispy, inner layer was rendered and then you get to the chicken itself.
Came to watch the comparison video and left with how great their chemistry is! They'd make a cute couple for sure!
I bought the little electric grill. At least they said it was decent. Hopefully a good covering of yakitori sauce will make it taste good.
Love this video! Was there a difference between the regular charcoal and the binchotan charcoal? I am wanting to try to make yakitori at home so looking for pointers please! Thank you!
Love these reviews
Why is there no flavor comparison when cooked with the special charcoal and the regular charcoal? You have already cooked them separately there.
Agreed
Kitchen aid mixture
You need to have Master Kono on more often. You guys have good chemistry. He’s adorable with his chuckle and his sound effects. No offense, but is he the only guest who’s the same height as Esther?
I taught English in Japan 4 years and I got to say... I really miss that humble agreeableness of students just repeating what you say. It's horrible for learning, but it's very endearing.
i like how humble a rockstar chef can be
I thought they had to constantly yell?
Love this show
These videos are actually getting better...
07:04 When I was in college, some students started a fire making ramen in the microwave. Not sure if I would trust them with a yakitori grill 😂
Went to a yakitori place in downtown Tokyo near shinjuku, so so good, especially with wasabi
My motto in cooking is the hard and effort the food takes it's the more delicious than less effort put into it
Awesome video
Esther is so my 스타일
Damn, he's so endearing and charming.
And daddy.
You should explain binchotan, the process to make it and the fact that not all binchotan is the same. The good stuff is getting harder to buy because the worldwide demand has going up.
Very nice video!
Grilled with charcoal always taste the best.
Sage makes a gadget called "smoking gun", it can add smoke flavor after the food is cooked.
I'd use the rotating skewer for something else like koobideh or something
You are right. Barry Lewis tested something that looked exactly like this and it was for koobideh and kabobs. So I am thinking it just a skewered meat cooker.
what a humble boi
Love his voice!!
Why is this video part of S1 - Episode 21 of the Kitchen Gadget Test Show when the Cuisinart Soft-serve video is S2 - Ep 1 when it came out months earlier? Just curious~
Man this man is best
Would love to see a video of induction rice cooker vs rice cooker
ESTHER we love you
Bring videos like this back please
Awesome show and episode! Do you recommend an isolated ceramic yakitori grill or will one in steel work too?
12 Bricks and a hand fan (you can use fire bricks if you want to but they're a little more expensive). Make a trough with the bricks, fill them with coal, and fan away. Wait until the coals are white and then start grilling.
Samual Iam thanks!
At 7:56 he’s using the Main Street electrical parade jingle!
I love me some Esther Choi
I remember when she took over from Cliff and not many people liked her
The toaster one would be good for roasting veggies
5:14 Poor Chef Kono, it's like sending a Samurai to battle with a plastic knife instead of a Katana LOL
If you are buying off this, remember these kind of grills are a huge pain in the ass to clean, you can build one with some bricks from home depot and a mesh net for like $15, I've tried this outdoor only and it worked well, afterwards just use a blower and blow all the ashes into the yard to fertilize your grass lol. Also I thought bichotan is smokeless and adds almost no flavor, charcoal has good flavor but isnt as hot and doesnt burn as long (way cheaper tho).
The smoke comes from fat hitting the bichotan - searing does not "seal in the juices".
However, all charcoal gives some smokey flavor regardless.
the last one is probably okay for sausages
I was hoping to see the Iwatani gas Yakitori Grill. Runs off the small butane gas cans.
And that second machine would be a pain in the butt to clean, too. Yeah, this is a case that the traditional charcoal wins, hands down.
I actually own the second one; the mini grill. After the first try, there is a bit of clean up. And then it dawn on me to use Aluminium wrap to wrap the exposed sides to catch all the grease/droppings and splatters. It works. I just had another BBQ the other day and clean up was minimal. I like this grill because it is very fun to use. It also come with a griddle and a Takoyaki pan. Love it.
One Question. Is the correct cooking time 5-6 minutes on both sides or 5-6 minutes overall?
overall
I love barbecue. But I don't want the smoke since I don't have a balcony where I can grill.
Love me some Esther
4:21 he'a not gonna say it, but it's cuz he's a master chef
I'm a fan.... He is great lol
What about just putting it under a household grill?
Please test out juicers!!
Great video. Whats the type of coal call?
Tap a little to get the smoke from drip fats. Learning from sensei . 😀😀
I got one as a gift, lucky it was a charcoal one
That last device was going to be an obvious fail. You can see from the design the drippings would all do down the bottom and drip off. They need to top off the skewer with a piece of toast or something to at least not let all that juice go to waste.
How do you stop it from smoking? We did it and the smoke alarm went off.
And it costs a low price of $998.99!
$55.61 at Home Depot
Yall should check out his youtube actually, he raps
Why is this labeled a season 1 episode? What about the twelve season 2 episodes?
Why'd you guys go back to season one?
The $35 grill looks ausome for hotdogs tho.
Basically the same reasons why those Korean BBQ devices are no good, would apply to the Yakitori machine as well.
Given those conditions, you can probably use an airfryer as a not-as-good-as-charcoal-but-still-decent-alternative.
Air fryers are garbage
I'm going out a limb here (NOT)... I'm thinking charcoal is going to win out.
Is it possible to add a little liquid smoke to the soy sauce to compensate for the lack of coal?
Maybe, you can try our electric BBQ one next time. Will more like BBQ from carbon
Esther's the best host!
Great gadget...
Choi: the problem with electric gadgets is that they don't get hot enough
8:02
Edi:t added time
They didn't even have it on max
that's a timer not temperature adjustment
I'm stuck on step #4
What ever happened to the regular charcoal???
wasn't hot enough!
Lump charcoal burns hotter than briquettes
love it.
Yakitori Okasian
Ok I did not expect that deep voice
tears in my eyes so beautiful to see one korean next to a japanese ❤
He is soo cute! 🤩🤩🤩
The music is so intense
you can hear the effects of the smoke over the years in his vocal chords
The chemistry is strong. Bet there was a whole lot more skewering going on after the chicken thighs were done 🤣
Love his voicr
Sear sealing in the moisture is a myth
Yes agree that it's a myth. I think what the chef meant was that the low heat allowed for more juice to drip out due to the longer cooking time (i.e. faster cooking time=less juice drips out). The host led the discussion and perpetuated the sear sealing myth; I think chef was just agreeing due to a language barrier.
If you'd use the devices for spiced/well seasoned skewers then I believe that it'd work better since you wouldn't need the char and charcoal flavor to make it properly
I'm a fast learner....says every Asian. Lol
A master chef. He is just better than that electric junk.
I see some smoke going on between them. I hope they put out the fire.
Try the gas powerd one
No regular charcoal comparisons??
What do u think the first one was
The special charcoal that he uses, not the regular one that we as consumers can get.
The charcoal from japan is amazing. Lump briquettes can’t compare. They burn much longer and seem burn at a higher temp. You can order it from amazon. But it’s not cheap.
Funky Chicken perfect thank you!
If esther can be a host, you can really achieve any and all of your dreams.
"Is it about the chef, is it about the charcoal or is it about the technique?"
*"Yeah"*
His laugh tho
What if liquid smoke was added to the sauce?
cleaning that skewer machine will be so tedious
Couldve sworn i watched this more than 3 months ago...
