How Master Sushi Chef Yumi Chiba Perfected Tamago - Omakase Japan 

😂😂😂

Please check jiro sushi chef he as been a sushi chef for more that 70 years and still says he's still learning

and if I recall correctly, his apprentices train for 10 years.

😂😂😂😂 wtf

Ya wig flew off ya headtop haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Forget her daughter, I wanna be like her

Bro your head so big

She could totally be an anime character!

Don't you mean "now a sushi chef?!" you make it sound like she is now a female lol.

@@CaptainHorn sushi chefs are normally prefered males, thats what make this lady so special

It's not unusual for the apprentice/sous-chef in these kinds of restaurant to have more years of experience than head-chef in the west. lol

@@alexfrank5331 Also it's more about morality. Japanese are very subtle and careful whereas american just claim to be the best of the best regardless of others.

@Ghostcat , yeah I'm sure all of your race is egoless enlightened beings

How much is the tamago-yaki?

But that isn't tamago-yaki that she's making. I'm confused.

@@laura121684 tamagoyaki means kind of like grilled egg

@@k.advidim8704 That's the literal meaning of the word, yes, but the word generally refers to one specific kind of fried egg dish, and that's not what she made. Google image search tamagoyaki and see what comes up.

@@laura121684 in the food doc jiro dreams of sushi they also refer to theirs (looks just like this) as the same thing. Most other videos about this type of tamago also calls it the same thing.

NADS IQ you don’t give me orders mortal

Thank you for mentioning she was a cancer survivor; I presume not many knew that including me.

@@tanyastefoglo1492 ..mad respect to her too...

I am totally lost, i thought that fish was called cancer :D

Extreme American feminists can take a lesson from her. Actually making a statement by taking action in the field she pursued, respecting those that came before her, humility, and ultimately becoming the renowned chef that she is all while fighting cancer is utterly amazing. She's not complaining about her situation and demanding others bow to her needs and putting others down.

Wow she is so inspiring!

She’s cancer free rn

Notre Aira what? who even said that?

She isn’t living in pre war Japan bro

@@Floppy1932 it's still not easy being a woman in most of the Asian countries

Many thanks!

Good job!

What about the song when she's making tamago?

the last song was epic

Sinapth omg 🤤😍

Its like an insurance "all state you're in good hands"

It's because it's simple. Tamago is very simple to make, but also VERY simple to screw up.

dra6o0n Agreed.

This is very true. You can easily tell the difference between a machine made dense Tamago vs. a hand timed and flipped Tamago. one will cost you $1 the other will cost you $7-$10

ForTheDevil she said it to be modest.

It takes about that long to be considered an expert..

Modesty aside, when you think of a professional or an expert you tend to automatically think of someone who knows their field inside and out, and doesn't have very much to learn from their peers. This is almost never the case (unless they actively choose not to learn from others), and the fact that she says she believes she's not a professional shows that she's open to learning and expanding her knowledge, and has many people she looks up to (like her father, clearly). I took it more as that, rather than her saying that she's a slow learner or that she believes herself incapable in any shape or form.

Because she really isn’t. Her skills are really, really amateur. Her Tabelog and Google ratings are pretty damn low. I’m not surprised.

what skills of her are amateur ?

It’s both against and not against the tradition. The tradition usually would be that as the heiress she would marry and her husband would take her surname and become the sushi chef. And it the 21 century there are more and more female sushi chef in Japan.

I didn't know too

Ikr

As a general rule, invertebrates don't have the same type of blood that vertebrates do. That includes clams. However, there is a type of clam, appropriately known as the blood clam, which has evolved blood containing hemoglobin and myoglobin, just like vertebrate blood does, because it lives in low oxygen water, and vertebrate blood is more efficient at carrying oxygen than invertebrate blood is. So that's what you're seeing. Not all clams are like that, just the type she happens to be using.

They are blood cockles. Bot all clams have red blood.

Uldihaa saber san

me too

I'm very passionate about doing the bare minimum.

alanis de la cruz well, that really depends on where you get your sushi from. If you are unfortunate enough to.order a plate in the US...

Oh for sure, a really good sushi restaurant, if you're lucky enough to get a reservation, definitely has to be on a seafood eater's bucket list. Expensive, but c'mon, it would be a one-off experience during a trip to Japan. A one-off experience in life, if you really don't want to spend like that again. It's getting the reservation that's the second bucket list accomplishment! Like tickets for the Ghibli Museum. :)

The preparation is what makes it expensive

Unless the entire process is automated in the future

It's not that expensive in Japan btw. They price up the sushi outside of Japan just because they can. It's not imported but the prices makes it seems like it's something rare and hard to get.

And later, she Shits sushi with elegance and power! 😁🚽

Kihyun!!

Aaliyah another monbebe?! Legends

Monbebe Fams~

Any of these sushi chefs would lol, but her story of how she got to this level despite the circumstances is inspiring none the less.

It's called a profession. Professionals are called 'Professionals' because they dedicate their lives to their specialization of any certain form of arts or activity. Pros are called such because they sacrifice a lot of time, blood, sweat, and tears for their work. But the term gets overused and become stale in street lingo.

@@dra6o0n Incorrect! As long as you have a paid job, you are a professional. You could have just started a job, you are still a professional.

@@aaronli1812 If you have a paid job you are employed, not a profession. It's the type of jobs that determines if it's a profession.

Fine, fine I concede.

Only a douchebag would say something like that.

Koiden wtf 😂

here it is an example of the overreacting comments here

Damn I have a dirty mind

Klavier Gavin not it’s not your picture is beautiful

Imagine your tongue touching her sushi

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking. Looks like she ended up happy though🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️😂

xRangii they wanted her to be a chef in the first place but she moved to Tokyo to escape that.

Not really that much of a sexist kind of thing, its just that there's not that many woman who works as a sushi chef making people think if females are even interested in making sushi and not because theyre not made for making sushi.

I thought ur calling her father a sexist bcuz I didnt read ur comment well

In Japan work is really important so pregnant people get babies in their late 20’s or early 30’s.

snowsparklegems good

Fancy seeing you here. Any keto alternative to sushi? That's one of the things I miss the most with regards to not eating rice anymore.

Wrap fish in zucchini or use cauliflower rice!

have a feeling that would cost a fortune

Headbanger's Kitchen You cant. Because shusi has rice. You are on ketosis

This is my friend is what calld an art

That's a lot for us. Thank you.

Late but you too😃👍🏻

Thank you for that. I didn't expect to read something like this tonight, but it helps.

You too, thanks👌

Thank you and I hope you the same

JRedBear the overdramatic music does distract, however

Oh yeah? What does it inspire in you to do? Lol

Bam Vill It's the internet, nothing is random.

wtf is nigiri? It's sushi, weeb.

Mack Lee nigiri is a type of sushi, buddy...

Sushi is a generic term. Nigiri sushi is sliced fish over rice with wasabi in between. She is making Edo style nigiri. Usually, chefs use two fingers to press the rice and form into that shape. She is using only one finger and does it more gently than a typical chef.

P B There we go. Thanks for the info!

You too? I was wondering why it happened to me as well.

Because art can do that to you

Jay Jays omg same

U deserve a million likes

You deserve a sponge cake

Same bruh

AHHH I see what you did there.......you added an emoji at the end. Nice touch!

Get out!. Nah, just kidding. Stay!

Naisu!

You look like an egg tho . No offense. Just saying .

Same. I didn't catch what the name of that flatfish was, but she cut the fillet so closely that her knife actually clicked on the bones! That kind of precision means there is almost nothing left to throw away! I've got chills.

Pikachu!

Yoooooo!

I've heard it said that women can't be sushi chefs because their hands are too warm.

Wow, that's kinda dumb

It is actually not dumb. Traditionally in Japan, Sushi chefs have to soak their hands in ice water before making Sushi. Because at the very high level of this fine cuisine, it is noted that your body temperature will affect how the dish taste. Leaving a piece of Sushi out in room temperature for 30 secs, 1 min, 2 mins will all produce a different tasting Sushi that's why the best Sushi chefs are all Omakase because they want you to savour their food the very moment it leaves their hands for the best possible taste. Sushi making is in itself an art, but that is also why like every other form of art, not everyone is able to appreciate it.

rev, it is dumb to restrain someone from doing it if their hands are a little bit warmer, since everybody can soak their hands in cold water for a couple minutes

Logically women would have lower hand temperatures as their hands are generally smaller, thus becoming colder more easily because of heat loss. Fat male hands would retain heat better. EDIT: After a bit of googling, it turns out this is actually supported through research: doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(05)78875-9

In this case, gender DOES matter. It is actually a big issue in Japan. Seeing a female sushi chef in Japan actually makes a difference.

I know it DOES matter. I lived 9 years in Tokyo as a GM for a big Hotel. I’m just saying that I shouldn’t matter. Everyone is equal.

Maybe not everyone is equal, because nobody is, but yeah. I agree that a person's passion to learn, determination, and their grit to push through tough times is what matters. One's gender or sex should play no part when being judged for performance on the job. Japan's just really slow in their thinking, but mainly with the elderly. The younger generation doesn't seem to have such skewed views. It's just that they can't fight against a society still under control by the old folks. In 10 years or so when most of the old folks die off, hopefully change will accelerate in Japan.

Lack of effective sanitary solutions for menstruation was a huge problem back in the day (everywhere), and that was one of the major reasons as to why women were discriminated against in professions that were especially strict and rigorous. As a Chef in Japan, the handling of raw flesh for eating requires strict norms that are oriented towards discipline & sanitation. Of course, things are different now so this type of discrimination is unjustifiable.

Rohan Jarande men touch their hang nuts all time haha eeww stupid comment

Relaxing!

ok weeb

jasonwong7 yet highest suicide rate

High Street Japan is ranked 26th. Get your facts right. Korea is ranked 10th. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate jasonwong7 It's going to be hard, in a society that's still regulated and controlled by old folks who still use fax machines. They are living dinosaurs, with skills and mentalities of the past century. It'll take another decade or so for all these old folks to die off before radical change in the working environment takes place for Japan.

I used to be an ageist like you, then I took a...nvm.

Actually the top 2 wealthiest celebrities in japan are both females ( ayumi hamasaki - $400 million and namie amuro - $250 million ) and there are a lot of majority female japanese companies that I know of.

sapporo snow so much for the glass ceiling...

Nah, feminists maniacally screaming to stop objectefying their body while running around naked with nipple pasties are changing the world.

We’re in 2018 not 1950. how is this anything but ordinary?

it's weird to me because the opening question of "can a women be a sushi chef" is... just... odd (to be inoffensive) Like...what? It's cutting fish. literally. cutting fish. there's no real skill gap there other than prejudice in the field of ornery old men who may refuse to teach a woman. It's just... so odd to me. Mochi pounding maybe. Mein noodle bending, perhaps... or some other"strength" based culinary creation methods that don't mean much of anything really as the results will vary depending on the person regardless of their strength... But cutting fish? Color me stupid, but that's something "anyone" can do when properly trained. It requires almost zero physical ability... but good on her for excelling in that apparently sexist environment. I mean it is Japan after all. Gender norms blahblahblah gender norms. Society is just dumb honestly. (obviously I mean everywhere)

There was a myth that women had warmer hands than men which affects the rice negatively, but I can't really know for sure since people in ancient times aren't exactly fair to women xD

yeah... body temp matters and the flavor/ quality of the sushi will change depending on it...but... I mean, who wants to eat something that always tastes the same anyway? Variety is the spice of life right~? Sour rice and jokes aside (it's sour how much can the flavor really change? If anything it'd probably improve the flavor) people can do what they want. No body would notice. Sushi is a culinary art form after all. Every artist creates different tasting dishes. It would just be her sushi's distinct flavor that makes it stand out at that point... unless they mean bacteria loving the slightly warmer environment within a warmer handed sushi, making the risks of food poisoning slightly high... or something~ if so... well damn
