Darrell म्हणाले...: "No. 1 seaweed wrapper in the world." If Trump sad that, you'd be making fun of him. Same with the rest of the chef's brags.; १५/१२/१८, ६:०२ PM
chillblaine म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; १५/१२/१८, ६:०४ PM
George Leroy Tirebiter म्हणाले...: When he cut the roll, the pieces were too big IMO. As an old person I can hardly eat in one bite when Maki is cut into 8 pieces, much less 6 as he did. The Nagiri looked fine, tho I usually trim off excess rice before downing. I love that he spread the wasabi on the pieces themselves so all you have to do is dip the meat into the soy sauce (not the rice). Most places here in Silicon Valley don't do that so you have to mix wasabi into the soy. Sashimi is best tho he didn't cover that.; १५/१२/१८, ६:०७ PM

Henry म्हणाले...: HAHAHA. Not subtle.

What I love best about is how much Mr. Yasuda uses his bare hands. He uses his hands. He tells his customer to use his hands.

Sure, there's science against restaurant chefs using bare hands. But I'm a home chef and I like to use my hands.; १५/१२/१८, ६:२२ PM
Henry म्हणाले...: Reading upstream, I have to wonder: How is it that the Althouse commentariat turned into a bunch of joyless scolds?; १५/१२/१८, ६:२३ PM
Arashi म्हणाले...: So according to this chef, I need to scold my wife (who was born and rasied in Kagamiishi in Fukushima prefecture) that she putting wasabi in her soy sauce is not correct - and let the laughs happen? I don't think so.

I think the main point with sushi, whatever the topping, is to get it in your mouth without dropping anything. I have used this technique for the last 40 years or so eating sushi and sashimi with no complaints from the chefs (though to be fair, Japanese are normally way to poilite to point out any faux pas by their customers in public).; १५/१२/१८, ६:३० PM
rcocean म्हणाले...: I always put my wasabi in my soy sauce and mix it up.

And I always will.; १५/१२/१८, ६:३६ PM
mockturtle म्हणाले...: My favorite sushi bar serves the wasabi on the side.

BTW, that customer is gorgeous!; १५/१२/१८, ६:३८ PM
rcocean म्हणाले...: Usually if you somehow - someway - put Japanese food in your mouth and seem to enjoy it, most Japanese will say nothing.

They don't expect Americans to do it right.; १५/१२/१८, ६:३८ PM
Arashi म्हणाले...: I think they are generally happy when we don't act like they expect from our movies and press. Act like a reasonable person and be polite in public (and not LOUD) and that goes a long way.

OH - and dont' eat while you walk.; १५/१२/१८, ६:४२ PM
stephen cooper म्हणाले...: In case there are any Japanese people reading ---

when drinking Johnny Walker, or Jack Daniels, or anything like that, it is ok to drink more than half the shot glass, but the only time you drink the whole shot at once is when someone else has mistakenly done so, and you only do so to make them not know they have made a mistake

in case rehajm is reading -
that is why you wear two pairs of underwear to work (briefs inside of boxers, generally), you dry the last drop on the outer pair of underwear.
don't do this at home where you have access to clean towels and running water, because wearing two pairs of underwear, eventually, leads to too much discomfort for your private parts
only do it (wear two pairs of underwear) at work and when traveling.
if you have to, sacrifice a quarter of a handkerchief for every work day for drying purposes
it is not easy to be male, nobody cares enough to give advice -well, I do, but I am not nobody.

Sushi is wonderful, but do not under any circumstances eat shark fin, octopus, or giant squid sushi. The art of sushi must and will develop in the future - think about it, just as, 200 years ago, there were thousands and thousands of "trappers" making a living off slowly let animals be tortured to death, paws trapped in metal gadgets, before being retrieved for their fur, worth about one night in a hotel room for each dead animal, and just as most of those trappers are now long gone, even so, 200 years from now, sushi chefs will not rely on cruel targeting of sharks, octopi, and giant squids.; १५/१२/१८, ७:०५ PM
Ron Snyder म्हणाले...: The only way to eat sushi is if it is wrapped in bacon.; १५/१२/१८, ७:११ PM
Arashi म्हणाले...: Sushi is the rice - not the topping.

However, bacon sushi - somewhere some chef has to be doing that. And a quick internet search says yes, bacon sushi is a thing. Order and enjoy.; १५/१२/१८, ७:१९ PM

Yes to the bacon, pass on the sushi.; १५/१२/१८, ७:४२ PM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: Sushi. Yum yum.; १५/१२/१८, ८:३२ PM
Ken B म्हणाले...: Henry
Being a joyless scold is the great aspiration of Americans today.; १५/१२/१८, ९:४४ PM
Henry म्हणाले...: @Ken B.

Don't I know it. It's why I quit Facebook.; १५/१२/१८, ९:५१ PM
David Duffy म्हणाले...: A sushi chef with a knife motions like a Samurai in the movies. Kind of like I used do my duties in the military during the Cold War while thinking about the guys who fought on Iwo Jima. Wish I were, glad I wasn't.; १५/१२/१८, १०:४१ PM
Darrell म्हणाले...: Reading upstream, I have to wonder: How is it that the Althouse commentariat turned into a bunch of joyless scolds?

Yeah. Nothing scoldy about this comment at all. Numpty.; १५/१२/१८, ११:४७ PM
FleetUSA म्हणाले...: Yeah, shake it man.; १६/१२/१८, ४:५० AM
Rick.T. म्हणाले...: More than one shake and you're playing with your sushi.

Jiro and I both dream of the best sushi:

rwnutjob म्हणाले...: I don't eat bait.; १६/१२/१८, ७:३७ AM
Utah Chris म्हणाले...: I learned I was dipping into soy sauce incorrectly since my first sushi at 15.; १६/१२/१८, ९:३३ AM
Sprezzatura म्हणाले...: Of course rice is the thing here. Otherwise it'd be poke.

Also, it's cool for some folks here to feel that they can school Yasuda.

Lots a laughs in these threads and posts.

Carry on.; १६/१२/१८, २:३० PM
