0:54 when the chef found out that his daughter's prom date is dining at his restaurant
Hahaha underrated comm
LMAO
Maybe he invited Pete Wells, from the New York Times, to update his review of the restaurant.
my god best comment
Lolololololol
Cameraman's skills are off the chart.
He made every sec of the video so interesting
One can't take his eyes off the screen
Hats off
Charisma really??
I agree 100%. No shot was wasted. I couldn't look away or I would miss something
I thought the cameraman films it in the way he is told to, or he can get extra, and I assumed that the end result being good is thanks to the editor who edits the footage... sucks to be editor, they don't really seem to get credits for their work from people..
@@AhornSyrup Editors are the magicians
@mukund p I guess majority of the Editors are male.
Genuinely, props to whoever directs this series. Stunning production quality.
Joseph is Awesome i do the video work
Thanks, I appreciate the compliments
Hahaha
Well, kudos to our director.
Hey everyone! If you're interested in who made this video, skip to the end and read our credits. Please do not be misled with commenters claiming any ownership over this video. Thanks!
The amount of respect shown for the fish, the cuts, and the meat preparation, is exquisite 👍😀
Hast thou acquired thy thesaurus?
A japanese thing
Japanese thing dude.
they might respect dead fish ... isn't Japan using an excuse like "scientific research" to hunt endangered whales lol...I understand what you mean though and im sorry it's just I just found it a little ironic to see "respect shown for the fish" followed by "it's a Japan thing"
This is pretty much every japanese sushi chef and bluefin tuna
I should be studying for an exam, but I’m here watching this random tuna video.
We've all been there but I never went to college
Then shouldnt complain when you fail your exams or barely pass them
😂😂😂
Lmfaooo me too
Yup same here
Seriously this is one of the best food series on CZcams right now
Totally agree, the spirit of these japanese chefs feels so different then from people around the world.
Jasen Effendy not one of the best, it is the best :D
Food ranger is better
I'm rating excellent. Well produced and what really caught my attention, other than excellent food that is making me hungry, was the Bluefin Tuna is now able to be farmed. Wow! Excellent Chef, Restaurant and Business... in general... documentary also.
indeed
I love that they’re resourceful and doesn’t waste the fish.
If the species isn't endangered yeah....
@@jody024 It's tuna and they are farming them(Making them reproduce and killing off the full grown). Tuna is very plentiful, and farming does not endanger the species because they are not being removed from the environment.
No one would waste an expensive fish 😂
Asriel Streamer smart guy
Asriel Streamer but it is a endangered species tho
There's something about watching them slice chunks of fish meat into thin pieces that just feels so satisfying.
makes me realize how dull (and dangerous) my discount store knives are.
Like a hot knife through butter
After watching like 5 videos on this channel, you can tell all of the successful chefs are dedicated to getting the best food items in ways we probably didn't even know was possible... this guy is using his own farm for fish supply which is just insane to me!
*inspirational music as guy is literally just talking about fish prices*
That is more than food preparation . The whole process is art and such a phenomenal skill and care for the Tuna they are presenting
I’m craving sushi right now 🤤😍

If you don't watch the video it is very unlikely you'll see the comments. IT'S FARM RAISED NOT ENDANGERED WILD CAUGHT. thank you.
In fact farming tuna is actually equally as bad if not worse than wild caught tuna because farmers must deplete large amounts of pelagic school fish in order to feed their tuna species which leads to imbalances in the ecosystem
@@christing8496 yeah it is funny how people think farmed tuna are raised from birth or something. The farm goes out and nets whole schools of small tuna like you said. Would be nice if the farm released some big mature tuna after raising them.
yep, we caught all the big ones, now we catch the medium sized ones and raise them
Chris Ting well if tuna farming doesn’t suite you I guess they’ll have to go to catching them as usual
Blue Fin Tuna in Japan are farm raised, and the stocks they get is from the wild. They get their tuna fry from the wild. and then grow them in captivity. Also induced breeding (getting babies from mated pair) is highly unlikely, so their only way to stock up is to depend on fisheries for frys.
Imagine this, by catching young wild frys in the , lesser tuna fry grow up to be adult, lesser adult means that the population of breeding wild tuna will be lesser, and then this practice will cause a decline in population.
Yes the tuna is farm raised, but not farm breed. It is equally damaging to the environment and species. Not to mention the tuna is an apex predator(higher on foodchain) and a whole lot more energy investment is required. This usually comes in the form of smaller pelagic fishes. Using these fishes is actually not sustainable as they usually consist of frys of other species. Which can be heavily depleted from the wild...
so tldr: it is still bad, just stop eating tuna haha
Truly MASTERCHEFS in their own right. Wow, these guys are amazing. Everything is taken with great care, and delivered with passion. I would gladly pay $100 for those sushi
you're too broke dumbass
The sushi and the ridiculous tuna market can go to hell all together.
Elias Cortes Lopez liberal loon. Who cares what you think?
Just can't stop watching these in a constant state of awe and relaxation
the subject from the video, the idea in making this series, and the cinematography. This is perfection.
I've watched enough anime to the point that I don't need subtitles

In case anyone is wondering the premium omakase is $95 in their website.
wut that's so cheap for omakase
What the normal rate for omakase in other sushi restaurants?
@@mohdzulhilmi7232 normal rate is 100+. Don't be surprise if you see a $500 omakase - that is a thing
@@mohdzulhilmi7232 most premium omakase are $200 to $300, more often around $300. I think Jiro is $300 for example as well as his apprentice that moved to the states.

I love how they're using everything they can in that fish and it looks absolutely delicious and fresh. Hats off
True artists are always wonderful to watch. The level of respect paid to the tradition is a thing of beauty.
Absolutely mind bending stuff
You really get the feeling this cooking knowledge has been honed down and passed through many, many generations.
I was a commercial fisherman in the South Pacific primarily fishing for bluefin, yellowfin, albacore. From 2002-2022 these fish have become scarce. We used to fill the boat 80 tons with hand caught tuna in 4-8 weeks. Now it’s not possible. Love these videos. Appreciate them while they last because the fish won’t 😉
Guys, I've been to this restaurant,, these dishes are to die for! Something one must try at least once in their lifetime
Ahhhh a new episode of Omakase!!! What a fantastic Friday. Thanks, Eater!
7:40 i just love how they clean everything after every cut.
james onde they have to, it keeps everything sanitary, I suggest avoiding restaurants that don’t do that.
The fact they're farming their own bluefin is amazing .... you can see how much they revere this awesome specimen of nature,
I can’t like this enough. The passion from the chef and the cause behind having the farm is commendable. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Omakase series FTW! This series is basically my bucket list of restaurants I want to try and chefs I want to meet.
When you see his smile while filleting the tuna, you know it's true love.
sushi making is the greatest art of all,from cleaning of the fish to slicing it to plating it,just awesome,sushi chefs,you gentlemen are the greatest artist.
High quality video for sure it was very well put together. Learned so much about the restaurant , chef and the love for what he does.
I’ve tried it near the Tsukiji fish market. Bluefin tuna is out of this world.
It’s nice that this is farmed.
It’s also nice that in lots of Japanese cooking, this video for example, there isn’t wastage of different parts of the animal. In many styles of cooking in Asia it’s much more common to be eating the innards of animals and other less conventional parts.
Conservation is important of course. I think people would still eat if even if it got even more expensive through fishing them with non commercial methods. Getting a complete ban of fishing them is pretty unlikely.
Well the way tuna farming works means this is just as bad as catching wild tuna they simply catch small tuna in the wild and raise them aka still reducing the population
That’s unfortunate.
Though it’s incredibly expensive, some fisherman still catch them via rod and in many places such as where I live have strict licensing for fishing them and restricts the amount that is taken. I think that would probably be the better route.
Japan is a land of just magic, the culinary kingdom.
Tsukiji?
Oops misspelling. What happens when you type things at 2AM
I really love this series 😍
Never get tired watching Japanese Chef. They are all good in what they do and love their job.👏👏😃
This is so fascinating! The utmost respect showcased for the fish is what all culinary vendors and makers should aspire to.
0:55 The perfect thumbnail
I conclude that eater is the best food channel in youtubesphere
That was all class. Total pride and excellence in his craft. Awesome stuff
Love watching chefs making food, especially sushi chefs. It's a beautiful art & of course....yummy.
It should be illegal for CZcams to have videos of delicious foods I can't eat right now lol. God, it all looks fantastic.
4:16 Could've used this as a thumbnail for this video
best not, do u know how many weak soft-hearted animalist vegans will get butthurt? lol
For some reason, posing for a photo with the head of a dead animal rubs some people the wrong way.
Not me, though. I think it's badass.

Man I really enjoyed watching this coz I learnt heaps! Really interesting and informative...I'll never get to visit NY and sample bluefin tuna prepared by this talented chef, but at least I got to see him in action on CZcams! Cheers from New Zealand.
I really love japan. Among all countries on earth, japan is the most beautiful place. ♥✨love from the philippines. 💖
Then you remember the world war
So clean even chef Gordon would be proud of him 👌🏽
Random video just locked me down, Truly amazing to watch, the sophistication and professionalism of the chefs is mind blowing.
Many thanks
Absolutely love those knives, the handmade craftmanship really shows.
Its great they're farmed. Bluefin tuna are already endangered. It's stunning to think of our vast oceans and seas being overfished.
apparently they're farm raised, which doesn't mean farm bred. this just means they catch the tuna and then raise them for food, so it might not actually mean they're putting back any into the environment.
@Neo Papa Hate to be a downer, but even fish that are bred and raised in farms aren't necessarily sustainable. In fact, farm raised predatory fish like tuna and salmon can be less sustainable than their wild caught equivalents, because they need to be fed other fish. This means that we're catching smaller fish, which could be eaten by people and are a more sustainable option, to merely feed other fish. There are also problems with pollution that are a result of farmed fish typically living in sheltered bays, producing lots of poop and pee, and causing eutrophication that can lead to an explosion of algae and ultimately kill other sea life by using up the oxygen in the water. This isn't to say that aquaculture can't be done sustainably, but it's important to consider these things when buying seafood.
Atlantic Bluefin aren't endangered. Please don"t post uneducated information. Thanks.
@@nickb2806 Atlantic Bluefin ARE endangered. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists two species of bluefin, the Atlantic and the southern, as endangered or critically endangered, on its “Red List” of imperiled species Look it up. Thanks.
@@pacefka Just because a IUCN puts them on their red list doesn't mean they are endangered. That is complete crap. Are they protected by the endangered species act? No. Are they endangered? No

I’ve seen a lot of omakase videos but for some reason this one is the most beautiful! Every dish is a masterpiece!
Sophie I feel you Sophie excellent comment.!! 😘👍💋
Honestly that fish cut up looks gorgeous, all the different shades of red are amazing
Japanese are so perfect with everything they do
Japanese are perfectionist as their cultural standards. That's why it's very stressful and demanding living and working in Japan as a Japanese.
What a master. I am a Tuna lover and this guy hits all the right spots.
This was a very beautifully made video and the food is beautiful as well. It showcases what tuna and sushi is like for those who truly enjoy it and have a passion for it and the mastery of a sushi chef.
this is so majestic..i want to give the chef a hug
This is art, amazing. Makes me want sushi right now!
that music in the first minutes sounds like a squarenix forest dungeon ost for an jRPG
That was fascinating. What an amazing craft to learn. I could watch this all day xx
Production quality is top notch. And the veneration the Japanese have for their food translate into the dishes, they elevate them to art
Time to book my plane ticket ✈️

Zanpakutō release
Such a refined kitchen, a culinary art. The tuna is much respected in the sense that nothing is wasted.
Professionally done and super clean.
Im not even a seafood guy and that looks freaking delicious
Glad to know that they use farm raised tuna. It’s best I guess to let the wild stocks grow, and this puts less stress on the already depleted tuna species.
This is why I love Japanese culture soo much! I cannot wait to visit and immerse myself in the culture!
These only show up at 4 AM. I love it.
日本文化は美しく、間違いなく世界で最も興味深いものです。日本人の皆さん、おめでとうございます。❤️🇯🇵❤️🇧🇷❤️
How do I end up watching stuff like this at 3.00am

Global time son.
This is the first episode I've seen and I'm subscribing for more!! Kanpai!!
Why did I never think to find Eater’s CZcams channel? One of the best sources for finding great food in any city
Love this! I’d finally be able to eat tuna at a Japanese restaurant and know that my consumption won’t mean that wild bluefin tuna is being caught.
I love that they fish farm and use pretty much every part of that fish - so eco friendly:)
this is art. the video, the preparing of the tuna, the farming, all of it. art.
Best place in New York city for fresh sashimi. They have fish market inside the restaurant which you'll not find anywhere in NYC. A must visit place for great experience of Japanese food.
Who else is hungry ?
The question is, who doesn't get hungry after watching this
What is the name of the final soundtrack? I think it starts at around 11:00.
Hans Zimmer - Time
Still waiting lmao
They really respect and honor the fish by using it completely. Absolutely amazing!
Such an exquisite presentation of japanese food,as well as japanese culture as a whole.Kudos to this channel
How much sushi can you sell with than tuna?
Im a sushi chef based in Los Angeles and you cant tell how many pieces of nigiri can come out of that fish. Different chefs will cut the blocks of tuna in different sizes. Theyll cut the fish per order to maintain freshness.

1:20 He talks about a blue fin tuna, 8 seconds later we see a yellow fin.
I think they use the Yellow Fin is to relfect the more sustainable and affordable option. The comment regarding Blue Fin is that it is expensive and highly sought to the point of overfishing. The chef also talks about how he is offering a more affordable dining option.
All bluefin tuna species have some yellow parts though, google yellowfin tuna and you'll see that's not it.
yellowfin has a yellow stripe from head to tail separating its back and belly...bluefin has more of a gradient...both have yellow fins
Except that it’s a blue fin tuna...look up a yellow fin and see what it looks like
Eater ?????!!!! Just WOWWWW. Hands down for this one. This is the new #1 on your channel....wow.
Beautifully done! 👌 The visuals and camera angles along with the beautiful picked music for the background. Felt like I was listening to final fantasy music while learning about tuna lol. Great work and love the video in a big fan of sushi so this video was great to watch. Hate reading subtitles though it takes away from the visuals it's not cause I'm lazy lol.
jfc.. All these. Negative commenters.. Just be vegans then
:((( "why do people care that we're ruining the ocean"
Chef says best to eat the tuna steak rare. Cooks it medium rare
brozors a fish cooks different from meat
I never came across such magnificent tuna. Wow... Shots of tuna 😍
Wow😲 Amazing!!! Very professional! He is like an artist 🐟

Based redpilled fish god thank you lil b
Now this is a good chef, he is genuine and tried every way to use up all of the fish to not waste it
Beautiful piece of work.
Otsukaresama deshita!
I wonder if we turn bluefin tuna into jerky slices, I wonder hows the taste? I try making different fish jerky and most of them taste great not unless you don't like the fishy smell. I bet bluefin tuna as jerky would taste great based on their fat content. I tried salmon and man, taste heavenly . . .
>salmon and man
Did you turn a man into jerky!!?
Hahah the comma though gets you into trouble.
Would you turn wagyu beef into jerky slices? You're out of your goddamn mind. Fatty bluefin is worth its weight in gold.
Actually in Russia they have tuna jerky
Tuna is based on how frsh its it. Shoyld be red and if sliced thun coukd be cooked on acid like leman and should melt on your mouth like butter just like flitet mignon. You dry it bood metabolizes making tune white just like cheap suhi and woyld be equivalent to anu dru fish. No point to make exoensive meat into cheap meat.
I can hear Gordon Ramsay in the background yelling "IT'S RAW!"
Thank you for this in-depth presentation.
Talk about mouth watering?! This made me sooo hungry!! Finally a reason to actually go to New York.
