How a Korean Sushi Master Is Breaking all the Sushi Rules - Omakase 

According to the video description, the restaurant is very popular, so his hard work really pays off

Alcohol is the secret xD

hope he bought some bitcoins

It's also clear that he really does love what he does for a living

🙌🏽

welcome to korea

That's how Korean live. Not just him. LOL

Ryan now apply this routine to cab drivers. It’s the Korean way and its truly an art.

Sounds like the typical middle aged Korean man.

And people are suprised suicide rates skyrocket in Asia.

Stefan Hendriks stfu dumbass 😂

@Stefan Hendriks k simp

@Stefan Hendriks well that was a bit agressive

@Stefan Hendriks u stfu

It's a cool concept , but it also grows his client base, which he needs to grow according to his own plan. So for now everybody wins this way.

I hope he gets some sleep too.

it already is

it is basically impossible to get a reservation and it's been that way for a while :'(

I hope it stays like this, I think it would lose what makes it so good if it gets bigger.

this guy works and sleeps. nothing else lol. gets up at 3AM and then goes to be late in the evening.

And mostly drunk

@@filippoaccorinti3399 ^completely plastered xD

Never played a high skill videogame right?

Muscle memory, follow a routine for about 5 years and your body just move by itself

@@filippoaccorinti3399 I think "being drunk" is actually the key lol. People can do amazing things (tho most of the time, it's more to the "stupid" side than "amazing" one) when they have alcohol. As long as they can control it.

Its a joke. Hes the only staff lmao.

Its actually realistic in some areas i used to work in a 3 floor cafe with only me being the head chef and 1 floor staff for each floor which was hectic as hell

@@vicstraz5144 oof that's crazy

The real skill is how he does things at rapid speed and holds a conversation at the same time.

It's clear he doesn't see it at work.

@Squirtle Japan didn't have much to be envious of when they were colonizing Korea, parts of China, and the islands below. Their explosive growth in technology occurred after WWII, after they had to give up their colonies due to them being on the losing side of the war.

and drinking!

Wow, I didn't know Korea make sushi as well

@@smug1798 Well Korea also has culture which is eating raw fish or raw something. So, we can enjoy it easily.

@@normankim8730 But it isn't an obsession like Japan.

He probably busts his ass off screen with cleaning, opening/closing, stocking, cooking, advertising, etc...

Yeah good content tends to do that.

Not only that but that person was very interesting to listen to and to watch at work. 11/10 would korean style again

I agree. I love these types of things.

Yeah man, I was watching it and it went by fast.

Same here. I was surprised to see it end.

Oh, it's achieved. Other commenters are saying he has a 6-month waiting list for reservations.

Yeah this is like a non-pretentious version of Chef's Table on Netflix.

@@Just_A_Dude nice to hear that

korean quality is no joke when it comes to food! they always deliver in top notch!

@@1990Thunderbolt eh debatable, I lived in Korea for a while. Although the vast majority of places were incredible there were some where the quality was meh. Especially in comparison to their competition.

Dennis Pietrandrea I guess

@@1990Thunderbolt I'm sorry for being overly critical on RU-vid looking back and reading it I realized it may have came off a bit harsh. I just see these broad comments for many places. I just felt the urge to point out that even places like Italy can still have bad places to eat.

Dennis Pietrandrea it’s cool

Eric Hong I’m in Korea too to study abroad! It’s so hard to make a reservation if you don’t know korean because it also requires a wire transfer

yanyan7410 damn fam u must be eating at some fancy ass restaurants cuz only restaurants that require wire transfer for making a reservation is usually a full course meal type joints

good luck getting a reservation lol

@@roksoulja84 LOL For real! I think he meant deposit. Wire transfer for a reservation is nuts

@@yanyan7410 ha yeah i meant to say "deposit" not wire transfer lols

Good fish prices imo

For real, at the prices he's buying his ingredients at, that is incredible value.

@@ned8422 The fish prices in the US are at least double at most grocery stores. Crazy good prices for him, and his customers get good deal because of it.

@@ned8422 This isn't retail tho

@ He said that the "party" people coming in that night wanted a more expensive meal. He said that meal would cost 50,000 Won and didn't specify how many people would eat for that much or if that was a per person price or if that included any alcohol. I am guessing that based on the price he paid for the fish that it was probably per person for the sushi and not including the alcohol.

Damn Verlisify, I watch a Tim Pool Video I see your comments, I look at a Korean sushi video I see your comments too lol. Do we have similar tastes have something?

@@PoePox It just shows how universal the RU-vid algorithm is and how controlled we all are

i really dont see him saving enough for a hotel

Do recall 50k Won (about 45 USD) is the EXPENSIVE end of his Omakase, so his normal prices could legit be 30-40k Won, which is just nuts. How does he turn a profit :O

I think the real way he makes profit is with the drinks otherwise he’d be without a job

thanks, i wondered about this one, it did not ring right with everything else he said.

This is important. The loss in translation makes it seem like he's "using" his family to pursue his other dreams via a stepping stone, when in reality he's saying he wants to uplift them as well.

This. He says he would like to accomplish his goals through the strength of his regulars whom he calls family.

oh i was wondeiing how bold he is to say it that way

Agreed- I think using the word “foundation” would have been a better fit to be honest. “Stepping stone” has a subtle negative connotation that makes it seem like this dude has a master plan for his own gains, when in fact he just wants to share the good times with people he cares about. Other than that though, props to the translator for doing a great job on the vid!

@snowangeliquexx Highly doubt he can. He saw a Korean sushi chef downing glass after glass of soju and that must make it "hella Korean". What else is there to say? The guy works hard, sushi chefs around the world work hard, it's not limited to South Korea. He seems like a friendly individual, most small omakase chefs like this generally are. You're cooking 5 feet away from your customers it makes sense to be a people person.

I doubt you know how hella Korean anything is from that comment.

@@trex1448 feel free to explain for the kind person then. Perhaps you can enlighten me on more of my culture as well.

@@HumanTres 그냥 한글로 쓰세요. I can't understand what you're asking.

@@trex1448 노력하지 마라

Feat. Hannah Hart and this awesome dude

Chopped off hand over rice

I don't think he's worked a day in his life, judging by the tone of his commentary!

@@TwoWholeWorms Exactly, Guy's living his life that way he wants

It isn't work if you love it, its just life

It’s not work if you love it.

You don't need to balance your work and life when they're basically the same thing.

You have to reserve about 6 months in advance ^ ^

6 months? Wow. I didn't know that his restaurant is very famous now. He should upgrade his place now then, thanks for the info btw.😁

Same

Traditions can't have all the space.

​@@NoName-de1fnIt's funny that you claimed "traditions can't have all the space" and yet the title of this video includes "Korean sushi", which is actually so stupid because gimbap was invented much earlier than sushi. Also, gimbap is traditionally much more flexible than sushi, in terms of variety.

What do u di

yup, i would get so many cuts to my fingers

I love sushi so much and am glad Japan is right next to Korea so that we, Koreans, can easily visit Japan to eat and learn sushi! I hope every political conflict is resolved and be united as Europe and achieve cultural harmony.

Right in the feels.

William Ding 5 fish for $30 you’d probably get charged here

@@kevintrang3836 yet it's only 13 bucks in korea. i think Korea's the better move :^

the whole world is overseas for Australia lulz

It would be $8 USD for those 5 in Korea, it would be $4-$5 per fish at least in America. That 5 would be $20-$25. Most of Asia has better prices on literally everything than any country considered western.

@Connor Lipke - That's a big OOF statement. Surely fish prices I can attest to how ridiculous it is in the States and cheap it is back in Korea. But tropical fruits for instance is a completely different story. Seeing a ￦60,000 pricetag for a single mango back in Busan was a jawdropping experience. Basically it's either really cheap (seafood, Japanese food) or invigoratingly expensive (fruits, exports, quality alcohol) in Korea.
