Japanese people are just ruthless at work. I work at a Japanese bank and it is no different. They HATE mistakes and they count every second you go to lunch or come in late. Everything needs to be percise just like the sushi. And when you're wrong it goes on your review for all enterity. I'm sure if it was legal, they would hit you when you make mistakes. --If anyone ever works for a japanese producer, I hope you don't care about money. Basic Japanese culture is you work your ass off, get yelled at, spend no time with your family, make use of every minute for your employer - and for what? To gain their essential skills which doesn't really translate to a lot of money in the real world? This is just my opinion, but I don't care to work my ass off to aquire skills that won't make me any money.

I see two things about cooking over and over again which are the absolute fundamentals of being successful at it. --First you need to love it. As it is with most things, if you don't love what you do it shows, but I feel like it is twice that with cooking. If you lack the passion and love for food, you are going to start compromising. --Which leads my to the second thing. You got to have standards and never compromise, otherwise you are setting yourself up for a quick and devastating fail. --I watched Kitchen Nightmares religiously at one point. Then started looking at other chefs (meaning other than Gordon Ramsay) and I see these two principals, standing out from anything else like pillars on which a great chef stands on. --I will never forget this as long as I'm among the living!

At 14: 50 When she says - I am sorry because I am going to be stubborn and stick with you for a while. - --I feel like the master is laughing, but from the inside he is attached to her, he considers her as a family member, like his daughter and wants her to stick around them for a long long time. -This makes me feel like crying. --He scolds her, he makes her understand things in the best way possible ( as he was taught everything in a very strict manner from his masters ), he is the perfect teacher who also learns by teaching. -but he is a human being after all. --I don't know, I might be thinking a lot, maybe everything is just normal. --I have this crazy inner desire to feel that everyone loves everyone and everyone will be together and will be happy and peaceful forever and after -

I first eat Sushi in Vancouver 1990. And coming from London was a real experience, nothing like this ever before. So watching this is wonderful. Seeing Oona put so much love and joy in something that-s gone in a second. ( now you see it now you don-t) of course is designed to be eaten like that, but still, I could really sense and feel The sensitive emotion she has. All I can honestly say is if i get to visit NY I must go and experience sushi at munchies. Here in London a lot of this kind of food is prepared already and called sushi that-s not sushi. The old sushi Masters have to except that women have all the heart and soul to prepare sushi. Oona Tempest is proof of that.

I absolutely adored this video. Love has no barriers, no walls, no limits. Love is a never-ending journey without an ending. If we could take this video clip, the pure passion you get from these chefs and everyone in the world apply it to every aspect of our daily lives. WOW. Just wow! What a magnificent world, this Earth could be. To respect one another, to cherish one another, to have an unconditional love for all. Perhaps this is just a dream, but the joy it would bring if this reality lived in us all. Again, I say, I absolutely adored this video!

Talented apprentice you got there. Through her i can see that sushi is not only delicious but it can be beautiful also. Every ingredients that she described even though i dont get it but it makes me drool. And what surprised me the most she is only an apprentice for about one year. and already she can make that kind of sushi. I thought apprentices must stay behind in the kitchen for several years before they can even served customers.

Cute girl, cool people and everything, but what's the deal with this nauseatingly over-the-top fetishization of sushi? Learning the art of sushi making from a 90 year old master? LMFAO. There's more art to making a pizza than there is to making sushi but you don't get this over-the-top BS in even the most high-end pizzeria. Seriously, they need to get over themselves if they are going to enjoy food and life in general.

great restaurant the first time. the second time we were seated at the second space (former bento) so not where chef Toshio was. Unfortunately, the pacing had become a lot faster, and it didn't have the same spark the first time I came. Really sad because at this price point, it's probably best in class. The Triple X was also unavailable, since they ran out of roe. sad.

I think this is my favourite episode yet. Not only does it nail the art of sushi (like the other videos, it really digs deep and sheds light on the relationship between Sushi chef and apprentice, Sushi chef and his wife, Sushi chef and his food, Sushi chef and his staff and Sushi chef with himself. Quite fascinating dynamics.

Best Sushi Chef episode so far. This really captures the sheer heart and soul that goes into this profession and a reflection of Japanese culture itself. Completely dedicate yourself to one thing and try to perfect it for the rest of your life, but humble enough to realise you will never reach perfection.
