How Master Sushi Chef Kashiba Brought Sushi to Seattle - Omakase 

You always see that the most genuine and successful people say they never stop learning and are always keen to learn more even if they're on the top of their game. Amazing individual, adorable passionate old dude 😭

This is probably the best culinary series on youtube.

PSA: Kashiba speaks perfect English. I work in the French restaurant literally underneath Sushi Kashiba and see him almost every day. Incredibly friendly and humble, runs a fantastic restaurant, treats his staff with respect and appreciation. I'll be fucking damned if anyone wants to talk shit.

This is epic! I just went to Seattle for a shoot and filmed at Shiro's for the best sushi experience of my life. The combination of fresh local Seattle area seafood and Japanese techniques makes for the perfect sushi experience and a transportation right to homeland of sushi itself... -Mike

By far, Sushi Kashiba has been the best dining experience of my life. Even had Shiro serve me one of the three times I've been there. I'd go weekly if I could. If you are ever visit Seattle, make this spot a priority. They do not do reservations in advance, only the day of.

If you enjoyed this video, you should see the documentary, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,”- the Jiro referenced in this video.

You know you're getting a quality experience if Jiro taught him. I hope this lineage continues so that the high level of excellence is preserved.

It's a sin to not subscribe to this channel after watching this. Truly well made.

Anybody else jump up when he said Jiro was his Master? Jiro-San?? That’s my dude

Quote: I am consistently learning something new, and I will continue learning. This chef has a great philosophy and work ethic. I love him.

Shiro さん お元気そうですね。 チェンバー ベイ でゴルフをご一緒した時のことを昨日のように覚えています。 シアトルでの益々のご活躍役をお祈りしています❗️

Respect to master chef for not being wasteful. I noticed most fishermen In Western Countries Would only filet a fish and throw away the rest of the body. Not Good.

My husband and I went to Sushi Kashiba last year and did the Omakase. It was the most absolute freshest fish and most amazing sushi we ever had. So happy to see this video!

I had the honor of being served omakase by this man in this very restaurant. One of the best experiences of my life - not sure I've ever been happier.

Having such a legendary sushi master, I can see why he has been so successful. He seems to have great passion, and love for what he does. I'm glad to have seen this video. Japanese cuisine, and sushi always intrigues. A lot of their food is so clean, and simple, yet so delicious.

so much respect for him. Sushi Kashiba was amazing sushi and experience. you have to do the omakase

I know there maybe comments in the same vein, but I had chills when he described being a pupil of Jiro-sensei, whom many regard as being currently the greatest sushi chef alive today, especially as he was the very first sushi chef to gain Three Michelin Stars, and has kept them ever since ... Another fun fact ... Jiro-sensei is still very much alive and well, and, at 93, is still hard at work in his restaurant ...

Jiro taught him :') Thanks Eater for one of the best food series in the world.

I have been here a couple times and Shiro is amazing. The chefs he works with like Suzuki san are also amazing. One of the best dining experiences I have had. It us definitely worth waiting in line for 3-4 hrs to get a seat at the bar.

Need this in my life.

had the pleasure to try Shiro-san's omakase last year, it was unforgettable and so worth the wait.

Holy crap! I live in Vancouver and I just discovered this. Jiro is my ultimate wish list and this is as close to that. Driving to Seattle on the weekend...

I've dined here a few times. Twice with Kashiba himself at the sushi bar. He has another sushi restaurant in Seattle called Shiro, also very good. Both highly recommended for special occasions!

What he does is art; good video congratulations

well done guys! This video is very impressed me. Thank you and please continuing this kind of videos.

We couldn't be prouder to have you in our country. And for you to be shareing your culture with us.

Amazing! He is old and is one of the apprentice of great sushi chef Shiro-san from subway restaurant in Japan. Already watched the Shiro-san version of sushi documentary and it was great. Thanks for the upload. Really enjoyed watching this 😄 🍣😋

The omakase here was a top 3 dining experience of my life. I promised myself whatever they put in front of me I would eat without exception. Candidly, the salmon roe texture and overwhelming flavor was pretty tough for me to get through; had never had it before. But I mean it was 2 hours of absolute bliss at that counter. I highly recommend getting there extremely early to get seats 1 and 2 at the far end of the counter as these are Shiro-san's seats. We were in 5 & 6 and more 'dead center' and while we could see things all around the kitchen, we were never personally served by the master. Needless to say it was still absolutely off the charts considering every chef there is world class.

What a another's nice story of chef sushi master..He brought the traditional food of Japan to Seatle. Bless him love this video 👍👍👌

I watched jiro's series of sushi, he is the greatest of all

I went to Sushi Kashiba yesterday and sat at the counter. We ordered omakase and it was a great experience. Probably the best sushi I ever had in Seattle.

When you have the 🐐 as your sensei. Ur at the right path. Thanks Eater

watching this video made me feel so happy.

That was the best sushi experience in my life so far. It was mind blowing. Worth going to Seattle just for that experience

Salute & love from Indonesia! ❤️🇲🇨

Definitely trying this spot next week!

Well, I guess I know where i need to go soon. Love living near Seattle, so much awesome seafood.

I just realized that I went to this restaurant in 2014 by myself when I was walking around the Pike Market. I didn't know who Shiro San was and just wanted some sushi. I spent $120 on the Omakase if I wasn't mistaken. I met one of his students that day I think. It is crazy since that was the first Sushi place I have ever been in Seattle. I also went to Sushi Maneki, the one he used to work at a couple of times.

Always enjoyable watching and eating japanese food

I have reservations to here tonight and I cannot freaking wait!!

the work ethic and dedication to a craft is one of the best qualities of the Japanese people. much respect to them

He really liked chilling with Jiro

Bring that to Maryland too. Love the uni!! 😊👍👨‍🍳

Every sushi chef got his own taste and his own story thats the reason why Becoming a sushi chef is my passion and my dream aswell

This video is amazing and that chef is a KING! Definitely hoping to eat there next time I’m in Seattle 👍🏼

awesome interview and so nicely filmed

New subscriber!!!:) Thanks for the wonderful footage and detail in every scene! Also, I love the chef’s backstories!!!!

Eating at a truly excellent sushi restaurant is probably the most sublime food experience you can have.

soon as he name dropped "Jiro" I got the chills!! sushi king

i love how the slicing and cleaning of the fish is shown. Reminds of the Japanese Iron Chef competitions

I ate at this restaurant long before watching this and that's the first time that's happened to me with this series. This is one of my favorites aside from film I've seen about Jiro and Chiba's sushi & sushi stands in Japan for the more traditional style anyway which is the best it's the simplest. This was still one of the best sushi meals I'd ever had but I had no idea about all of this information that's amazing. I knew Maneki was over 100 years old but never would I have thought. The chilled monkfish liver dish at Maneki is amazing. Free the ikura from the freezer at Uwajimaya! Yeah no though that local pickled herring nigiri is a brilliant idea. I live in the same neighborhood as this restaurant.

beautiful

His master "JIRO" called "God of sushi" in Japan. Jiro's sushi is fantastic.

I love the Omakase series!

6:00 shrine for his sensei 😭 a perfect student grown into a sensei himself.

Such mastery even though the ingredients he used aren't what supposed to be the ingredients that are usually used in making a sushi. Kudos to this man on adapting to local ingredients 👌👌👌

i NEED MORE OF THESE! AT LEAST 39 MORE!

Eater did many high quality videos (not including that so so so creamy lady). I don't understand why subscription is so low. Should be 1M+ years ago. Don't get it.

Legendary Woldclass Chef

I need to go back to Japan!

The legend what a great chef😊

This Series need to keep going, like........forever :T

Almost went here a few years ago, but needed to get a reservation. Definitely considering to make that reservation next time I stop by Seattle.

This is me 😍, staring at the food drooling..

Great work on this video. It gave me flashbacks to Great Chefs of New York from the 80’s. I was expecting to hear Mary Lou Conroy’s voiceover.

Whattt!!! Jiro sensei apprentice also the legend of sushi ...!!! Wowww!!

He's great sushi chef!! 😉

He finally wrote a memoir, it's well worth the read.

That sushi looks perfect. It's like sushi you would only see in anime.

What an amazing guy he sure know how to make an art

Can't believe I've been walking past this place to class for 2 years 😂😂😂

I can retire and do this for the rest of my life..amazing

Mashaa Allah what a man... Oh he seems so in love with this work 😊👏. Long life sir.
