How Master Sushi Chef Derek Wilcox Brought His Japanese Training to New York - Omakase 

I agree. I don't have that kind of discipline or patience.

Totally impressive, another way to think about it is that millions of immigrants to the US work 16 hour days to achieve the american dream!

For 10 years omg

@@eatmyshorts2007 as berry pickers LOL!!! not even comparable

MrHootiedean that’s why no one will remember your name...

On top of learning a whole new language and culture while trying to be the be the best and learning. Dedication.

Kenny Tran i rate is Japanese vocabulary and pronunciation at a low 34/100, he will never speak the language perfectly

Max Weeks I rate your English vocabulary and pronunciation at a low 34/100, you will never speak the language perfectly

Kenny Tran id take that to be honest, not my first language so therefore not too fussed about it. Im not going to be jejune or too obsequious to your opinion so I’m pretty happy my brother.

Kenny Tran でもよー、てめえさんはよー、ちょっかい出せたと思っとるけれど最終的に爆笑させてもらったのはおいらやでー笑笑

It was in that moment he knew...

One day in Japan is one entire week in Europe. Time seems so convoluted nowadays.

true

Yeah. its almost like he's from another country.

almost like he is white

@@adamixa5801 all white people speak English?

Sound like he is native english speaker....

That goes for any profession

Jhovan very true

@@JPzizou yeah lol that's true.

Why does it take so much time? Are they just trying to prove they can handle extreme hours?

@@nofurtherwest3474 well for sushi crafting manipulation of ingredients is incredibly important. Knowing how to cut certain fish, being able to make accurate and precise cuts even after working 12 hours, knowing ingredient prep and what fish is the best versus what is sub par. I do it as a hobby and there is so much that I cannot hope to achieve without proper guidance from somebody who lives and breathes the culture and has a backround funded on past culinary experts.

Dude you read my mind, i was thinking the same, irasshai irasshai if it was a takoyaki stall😁😁

Just like peter griffin.😂😂😂

lol I was totally expecting a humble bow while he said something like that

Dan Cui lol 😂

Well, if it’s the chef who always says “good afternoon”, you dead

@Callum Mcmonies by that, im sure he was trying to say something about respecting a higher ranking person than him, like whenever someone says "yes, Sergeant!"

Now that you point it out you made me realize. Thats how immersive it was.

@@LaconianDrakon haha seems like i got you hooked on to it... The whole video is like a slow high.

The editing mixed with that non stop slow moving cam is a magical combo.

That is the perfect balance in someone’s personality

:]

He does epitomize humidity.

The most confident and smartest people are often in awe of how little they know and matter

Yeah humility Like saying he Works 6 days a week with 18 hours Work days

Japanese are crazy workaholics I worked with them for a year.

Most Asian countries are like that. Once we're old enough to work, goodbye social life.

Sounds like a waste

@@valkyrie273 true

Sounds like slavery

lol

Workaholics

Mike Ll. heyy im japanese, currently learning sushi and fish cuisine and learned how to fillet a fish from mouth to tail when i was 10 and plan to also take my training to the states

@@bazingamaster3770 ok.

Mr krabs is that you?

Dude bags under eyes was normal in high school. Go to sleep at 4 wake up at 7 drink 3 redbulls and be jittery as hell like a crack junkie.

HERPY DERPEDY in high school?

yo tinyfin you’re in danger

Now here's the real question though. Should this guy be classified as an *Ultimate Final-Form Weeaboo?*

John Doe we do not speak about such discussions

Just want to ask cause im intrested in japanese Culture how much hours do you work in a day and what do japanese in there freetime? Cause for me as a German it Sounds people from Japan Just live to Work and that seems Like a Nightmare vor me Sorry for my Bad english

jihad4realniz Hey I would like to say there are many kind of types in Japan, so really cannot say all Japanese lives just to work. Let’s divide three types, so there are ppl who are just so passionate about their jobs and yes working might be their purposes of lives. And also there are ppl who just have no choice( they do but they do not have ideas) and just work and trying to survive. Last there are ppl who has more passions or joys outside of work. And also what we do in our free time, the common ones are going out with you friends, going somewhere nice with your partner or even friends, maybe just sleeping all a day long. I’m still a student so idk what it will look like for me when I start working tho, this what I see and think.

@@jihad4realniz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4fTrOmDrDgU.html There is a long version I suggest watching it if you're interested in what it's like working in Japan from the perspective of both a foreigner and a native. This is some of my favorite work by this channel.

@@lalakansai4165 That is how it is all over the world my friend.

@@Osprey1994 Mate, thank you very much for sharing that video. Provided some perspective on Japan that I've yet to see. Happy New Year to you!

I read that in Ramsey's voice in my head.

now imagine him singing ya you got that gummy , gummy , gummy

O K be more cringe

Because 90% of "sushi chefs" in the world aren't professionally trained. My uncle from the Philippines is a sushi chef even if he's not eaten sushi before he worked in the restaurant industry. And it's not that they make bad sushi, it's actually good as long as it's made hygienically, it's just not as great as those who were trained as sushi chefs.

never been to us but in europa ya restaurants arent a thing

Not even remotely. He clearly embodies the spirit of a sushi chef quite well. But he does not seem very Japanese to me.

@@gibsonflyingv2820 Bro don't take it literally. I just said it to mean my highest respect and praise to the guy. He's went through things that many Japanese would give up. Not to mention the language and cultural barrier

@@greatwanna Is the sushi chef training that harsh?

@@kookoo9235 With Sushi its either right or not and it seems incredibly meticulous to prepare well.

@greatwanna you’re not Japanese. Log off

@@AudreysKitchen A bit uncalled for fam.

@@PauaP eh just being honest. He's pretty knowledgeable about home cooking, but this is a guy who's committed his life to the perfection of his craft and it shows

@@AudreysKitchen Its a bit unjustified comparison though.

@@AudreysKitchen Amateur is the wrong word, enthusiast is more appropriate.

GOD๛Mᴇᴛᴇᴏ真神 too busy looking at the beautiful food

Lmaoo

Hahahahahahahaha!!

_o k a y_

Immersion

It's....really basic.

@@slaiyfershin Yeah basic my A.

Lmao!!!

Ya it's been a few months since I've given a massage with a bat.

It shows that some people have differently wired brains. That's it.

THE BIGGEST FLEX

Clearly. I recognized those knife skills. Reminded me of Matsu's

I mean that's the case for anyone's cooking, right?
