At ShabuShabu Macoron chef Mako Okano and her team wanted to do for shabu shabu what has been done for tempura, kaiseki, and of course sushi. Gerald: I appreciate the philosophy and effort behind such concepts. Truly remarkable skill and presentation. But it can feel kinda overdone and forced for a customer since you are only directed to taste it in a very specific way that it is intended. That's the part I cannot really understand as it kinda disconnects the customer from participating in the experience except to open wide and chew and pay. Maybe that's why I prefer hawker or street food. It feels more grounded & real. Also I can't afford to keep tasting restaurant food so that's maybe why I can't really appreciate paying so much for a single meal.

There are some valid reasons regarding why this combination has not been attempted before. Shabu-shabu is an engaging and entertaining social and culinary experience, where you can bond with those around you. That said, it took about 15 seconds of video for me to decide that this chef can probably concoct a better tasting meal than the boiled-tire flavored horror soup that I usually come up with, so Ill give this a try.

It's interesting because she speaks bilingually but her Japanese isn't exactly native, and her English isn't as fluent as I thought it would be considering most bilingual people know how to articulate in one of the two languages they know. She says she moved to NY but it was probably a lot later into her life, otherwise there wouldn't be much of an accent if at all. Still a great video, nonetheless.

How is this omakase or worlds only? Because theres someone cooking the food in front of you? Thats quite common not just in different types of hot pot restaurants in Asia, but pretty sure you can find it in different parts of la too. not judging the taste because Ive not had it but the headline is. quite misleading

just because it's good quality meat doesn't mean whatever you do to it will taste good THANK YOU I was at a fancy dinner party where I was served wagyu BURGERS. To grind beef of that quality - and, to top it all off, SOUS VIDE it - almost made me cry.

Great thought preparation and execution. but y they think ur not hungry. cant help but feel every person who leaves these sushi places still has to go somewhere else to get full afterwards. that food is a tease not a meal. no wonder asians are skinny

I wonder what part of Japan she is from. She has an interesting accent. Is that a Kagoshima accent? I've been away from Japan so long I'm not sure. Nice to see a female Japanese head chef in a high-class restaurant, not very common.

Originally thought this was just going to be another gimmick jumping on the omakase trend, but the preparation of the courses were actually very innovative and intriguing. Good video on an interesting restaurant.

Do you know what stood out the most for me? The small bowl size wire racks she put on the meat on top of so that the broth can drain to the bowl. This is a brilliant Japanese invention indeed.

It's cool to have highest quality ingredients of omakase combine with shabu shabu, although if the chef cooks the meat for me I might feel a bit cheated of the experience of shabu shabu.
