How To Eat Sushi The Right Way 

"yes that's enough" *"ENOUGH"*

This man has the courage to make a restroom joke and say hi hello. He is a true legend.

As a Japanese person, I just wanted to point out that these manners are only for these very authentic restaurants where the food is so well executed that they want you to enjoy it just as is, so that it tastes exactly how they intend it to taste. They are the pros, they know the best way to eat them, and you're supposedly there, paying expensive money, to experience their way of prep/service. It's not just religious/cultural manners. There's actually a logical reason behind them, for customers to taste it the best way possible. If that feels too controlling or you have a certain preference on how you want to eat your food, different from their suggestion, then it defeats the whole purpose of even going to these restaurants. Just don't go. It's obviously not for you, and there's nothing wrong with that. It not only disrupts the flow of the restaurant, which affects other guests' food and experience, but also causes stress on both ends because you too are paying too much money to be forced to eat a certain way. If you go to a more casual sushi joint, Japan or US, you can drench your California rolls with sriracha and spicy mayo all you want. You'll actually need these sauces because the fish/rice/technique won't be good enough to taste good on its own. It's very difficult to make good enough sushi to even be worth all these bothersome manners. That is why it's so meticulous and expensive. Besides, most people's palates, who are used to flavoring food with strong spices and sauces, won't even be able to differentiate and enjoy these kinds of food because it's too subtle. Most will find it too bland. I know from experience because I've taken many of my American friends to try dining at these places. People have different sensitivities and palates, depending on what they ate growing up, and there's no right or wrong. Like art, it's not for everybody. If you read this long-ass comment all the way to the end, I appreciate your precious time, you are a true legend, but also bored as f**k lol

I will forever remember the restroom joke when dipping my Sushi now, but I will never do it wrong ever again. Thanks for the explanation Mr Chef.

"Don't shake it" *shakes* *"D O N T S H A K E I T"*

I don't know him, but i feel like i disappointed him already.

Chef Yasuda served me and a friend omakase at his restaurant in Tokyo in 2016 and it was one of the best meals of my life. What made it one of the best wasn't just the food (which was incredible), but also Chef telling us stories of his time living in New York City, his visits to the fish market in Tokyo, and the funny jokes along the way. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I could listen to this master all day. Serious about his food but such a gentle manner. I love him

"Don't shake it. That's for the men's room" 10/10

"Don't Shake... That's only for the Men's room..." "Hi, Hello" I loved that

Eating Japanese sushi out for the first time. I needed this lesson so I do`nt appear too ignorant or bad mannered. Thanks so much Yasuda for an excellent video lesson.

I feel so weirdly validated by hearing the sushi chef emphatically say to just eat the ginger by itself. No soy sauce dunkin'. Nothing. It tastes delicious on its own.

The fact that they put him there as an "amateur fish eater" is hilarious

"Shaking is for the mens room." "Hi, hello"

As a sushi chef of 9 months so far I’ve been learning so much and it always excites me seeing pros give new pieces of information gives me so many ideas to try.

This guys serious but also a great sense of humor, that always goes so much further when connecting with people and getting them to follow your instructions. I could listen to him for hours...

"no shaking" "oh so no shaking" *proceeds to continue shake*

- Guy: ... It's sweet - Sushi Chef: Yes, Like you - Guy: ... - Sushi Chef: ... - Cameraman: ... - Sushi: ... - Wasabi: ...

That joke was so lethal, i had to pause and laugh for like 2 min

"hi! hello!" is my favorite part. what a hilarious guy. this is a fantastic video. where I live we don't have a sushi restaurant for a couple of an hours drive so I make it at home. i've been doing it for years and fairly good at it, but i so miss having a place to go to. when I lived in sf i was two doors down from a sushi restaurant. i could eat nothing but sushi if i had my way :)

A wise chef once said: "Don't Shake! Shaking... this is just for the men, after finished at the men's room.................... HI, HELLO!"

Guest : it's sweet. Chef: Yes, just like you. Guest: .... Chef: .... Juicy Tuna: Take me to church

I love seeing people so passionate and informing of the things and experiences they hold dearly. Chef was amazing! Wish I could sit in front of him. 🙌🏼

Watching this in 2022 and man do I miss Yasuda-san from when he had a restaurant in NYC. He made the sushi bar experience so much fun.

Gordon Ramsay: Shake the sushi Japanese chef: Don't shake it you donkey

Man: It’s not bad. It’s sweet Chef: Yea. Like you. Man: 😳

The gentleman from the kitchen explained the most important things that we must remember well. The quality, temperature and amount of spices in the food... every gold medal for the chef!!

Thank you for educating me. I love sushi, but even more - I love respecting the culture and learning the traditions/etiquette.

"So what's been your work experiences?" Right now, I'm an *Amateur Fish Eater*

I’ve been to his restaurant in Tokyo. He’s as funny and charming in person. His sushi was by far the best I’ve ever had. He made this grass sushi that was unreal. Seriously the guy is such a master he can make high level sushi from grass.

Was fortunate enough to enjoy world class sushi at Chef Yasuda's restaurant in Tokyo. Wonderful food and such a warm personality! Definitely an experience I will never forget. ありがとうございますやすださん！

Long live Yasuda-san. He is also a martial arts expert. Highly efficient, Yasuda-san makes expert sushi eaters of his patrons. His humor is like his karate, fast and devastating.

Comment from a Japanese: You can tell it is a really high level sushi restaurant when the sushi sensei can speak English that good lol

How to eat sushi the Nike way 4:03

Such a lovely video and chef, thanks!

"Shaking is just used in the men's room" YEET

I’m so happy I watched this video! I’ve officially learned how to eat sushi properly! Thank you ❤️❤️

Really enjoyed this!

Okay, that will be $499

Me: Have to sleep early... Brain on 3am: How To Eat Sushi The Right Way

Wow. Watching pro sushi chefs at work is always a treat. You can really see why it takes 7 years to even gain formal qualification. An absolute art in and of itself, much like Jazz within Music. 😊

I love this!!!! Thank you!!! Will be eatng it correctly from now on!

Guest:SHAKES THE SUSHI chef:DONT SHAKE IT guest:SHAKES IT HARDER chef:DoNt ShAkE iT dOnT sHaKe It

When the chef talks about where some of the ingredients, it just made the sushi look more delicious. "This is king Salmon, from the sacred waters of New Zealand" "this seaweed came from the holy mountains of gods"

Very good information...thank you for making this video. I look forward to seeing more.

"Shaking is for the men's room" XD I like how instead of bashing him for his mistake he made him laugh with some well placed humor! He definitely will remember why shaking sushi is bad now!! lol

I love how right before he makes his men's room joke, he glances at the camera, waits for the guy to take a bite, then delivers the punch line, and breaks the fourth wall and stares at the camera. I love this guy lol.

This video needs more love! The chef was amazing, but the guest was... Meh. I don't know how more haven't seen this!

This was wonderful! Ty so much. It was a great lesson!

Had sushi this weekend then saw the video. Ordered sushi again and ate it as suggested and OMG! The difference is startling and now I am trying all sorts of sushi so I can eat it correctly. I have only ever had soy sauce once with sushi some 15 years ago. I will forever eat sushi this way. I'm so grateful to have found this video.

guy: hm it’s sweet sushi chef: just like you guy: thanks uwu guy: very juicy sushi chef: just like you guy: ... rice from hometown: ... best seaweed paper in the world: ... 80 percent high fatty tuna: ... camera man: ... ginger: ... soy sauce: ... naturual wasabi: ... sushi chef: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Chef: don't shake it guy: *starts shaking it more* edit: *HELP ME PLS*

guy: theres a lot of things going on there chef: yes thats right its called flavor

I went to a nice sushi restaurant in Kyoto, but I struggled using the chopsticks, so the chef told me it was 100% acceptable to use my fingers for all kinds of sushi, not just the rolled ones. Saved my evening.

Chef was so energetic and friendly but the eater seemed intimidated and not very excited for anything.

Watching a master explain his craft is always super interesting to me.

FANTASTIC! I never knew how to eat sushi the right way, now I learned! Thanks for this excellent video!

Thank you sir. Very insightful

The guy eating always looks like he hates sushi and is being forced to eat it

"Amateur Fish Eater" ... description was correct

Love this - thanks! He’s a joy

I really enjoyed this video!!!

I like the way this man shows confidence, he's very professional.

"Shaking is for the men's room." - Naomichi Yasuda

Wow! Thanks. I used to eat a lot of sushi in Taiwan and Okinawa. Thanks for the tip about the ginger. 👍

This guy is a legend, his smile laugh is just too awesome

“It’s sweet.” “Yes, like you.” I feel almost as good as When Keanu Reeves said that I was breathtaking.

“Don’t shake!” “Don’t shake?” Continues shaking

I would pay hella money to experience this at a sushi restaurant myself. A chef preparing every type of sushi in front of you one by one and teaching you how to enjoy it the most

That was awesome!! Chef is so hilarious!! 😆😆 Great little snippet of video 👍🙏

I love how he just abruptly goes “hi hello” after his bathroom joke lmao

I once shoved an entire ball of wasabi into my mouth thinking it was guacamole. Took about a week to recover

4:30 Impeccable comedic delivery 🤣

When you are really hungry & then this guy comes in 😂

My first sushi experience was when I was living in Ann Arbor, MI; not exactly a haven for Japanese cuisine. The chef, however, was Japanese, and he was gracious and patient enough to teach me most of this back then. It made a huge difference to my enjoyment of the dishes, and I'll always appreciate him for that.

@ 6:00 he says “You’re welcome” Not “Do your work” Many say it like this. Great video

Very enjoyable and informative. I've been eating sushi all my life and I love it. But I didn't know I was eating it incorrectly. Thanks for the education.

Thank you really very appetizing, I hope I can try it

That’s enough... *continues to dip* Enough *Shakes* No shake

His Japanese accent keeps getting stronger the more he talks in English

This is like one of my fave. videos, like, in general.

he did it this man isnt only a sushi chef He is someone who clearly has discovered his own entertainment skills and damn he knows how to use them i just want to go there myself to get to know with him

1:37 You can see those are the hands of an honest and hardworking man.

This guy has an amazing energy, I would love to get the opportunity to be taught proper sushi etiquette. Very funny dude.

Enjoyed!

Thank you Chef🙏🏾

Chef had hands of a surgeon with the skill of a samurai...Everything he did with such precision..

When you're chinese and have mastered the chopsticks but the japanese next to you have mastered hands

Very nice, well done!

I could watch this all day!

Catch me at my local sushi joint showing off my new skills

O-Sensai: "Don't shake!"

I'm so jealous yet happy for the person enjoying this

4:28 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tops off his joke with... "Hi. Hello". Legendary man.

I would like to audition for the next role of the taste tester, please. I'm serious! Chef had so much passion and dude just is like Meh!

Asian response to something akward: "Do your work" 😂😂

This was a great educational video. I love sushi, it is a wonderful experience

My dad lived for a year in japan and i always saw people eating sushi in a different way than he told me but after seeing this video i can see my dad had it correct all along

Me: *Eats sushi with a plastic spoon.* Sushi Chef: Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru. Me: NANI?!?!
