    Incredible, the skills on display when he segments the chicken are fantastic to watch. He seems like a really entertaining chef too, it would be a pleasure to watch him cook.

    having broken down chickens for yakitori myself (I'm just an amateur learning), I was dying when I saw how he breaks down the chicken. when it did the neck I almost cried, it always takes me FOREVER, he just flies through and I'm sure with infinitely better results. a true master

    I love his playful and professional spirit. It's very humble, down to earth, and he's got a great attitude and sense of humor~

    The chef has been in this profession for 17 years, yet he said that he experiences nervousness every day. The art of preparing Yakitori is no joke.

      Because it doesn't matter if you know what they do. You will not be able to replicate it.
      It's like Roubuchon, Jean George, Alsatian.. They all have cookbooks published with exact recipes. You can't replicate the restaurant level even if you tried

    Heart, soul, body... everything comes together as a Japanese artisinal master, a sensei, creates...
    He is still nervous, means he cares so much about his art and his reputation; means he is not jaded, not complacent after years and years of experience and honing of his skills.
    Chef Kono, 万歳!

    ATS has perfected his craft, just amazing! What they didn't show is the cleanup, ordering of chicken, spices, charcoal Etc... Don't forget about paying his bills to run his restaurant as well as payroll for his staff. He does all of this with only 37 minutes of sleep a day.
