I Went to Teach a Japanese Chef How to Make AMERICAN Sushi 

@shugo104 that diet will catch up to her fast

uhm... no?

@@marcello9476 Dude, American food: Burgers, french fries, macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, corn dogs... Our entire food culture is made up of stuff we like putting ketchup on. There's a reason this stuff is always on the kids' section of restaurant menus you know.

@@jonatanluna1061 Yall need to get out more. There are a LOT of diverse food cultures all throughout the US, not just this generic stuff you guys are listing.

@@Kelnx Yeah i know there are. But i'm talking about "American Food" not "Food in America." And "American food" is mostly stuff from the kids' menu.

Imagine being the one that makes a country start using cream cheese.

Should have named it the Taku roll

@@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084 no because it already has a name as a man of honor he would never consider such a thing.

@@Garycooperthestrongsilenttype It is, "In no sense of the word..." Also, you obviously don't know the sense of the word "culinary."

@@Garycooperthestrongsilenttype Nice job gatekeeping 👍 You're like the incel version of a foodie.

nobody in their right mind would eat that shit.

I'd be interested to see that as well.

there is a video i saw ages ago where they have regular japanese on the street taste test the california roll, check it out.

@@sjneow california roll is like the most bland and boring American style roll though imo

@@Tukinico Mexicans eat taco bell, I don't see why they wouldn't if hungry enough

Well, at least it’s not penis sauce .

Yeah, I could see that happening.

😂 I honestly hate sushi with cream cheese it's so weird. But I can imagine my dad would have loved the philly roll. It's basically a cross between bagels and lox with sushi.

No, they won't put cream cheese on everything. That's like putting chocolate on chicken. Japanese chefs aren't crazy.

@@Ultradude604 .....it was a joke

Ha Ha! I love deep fried rolls.

shahram72 wtf is a deep fried roll?

@@samp5395 Tossing the roll through the fryer very quickly to give it a crispy outer layer. Adds a fun texture to the bite

Sam Paltiel I think she’s talking about spring rolls and egg rolls. That’s Chinese not Japanese 🤣

Salem Roll dipped in sriracha mayo? Yes plz.

How to *MAKE* a taco bell crunch wrap

@TheFirstNobody For you that might be true. And for many others aswell, that's why authentic recipies are changed up in the first place.

no, its like teaching someone in mexico how to make a California burrito.

There are American bases in Okinawa, so maybe he wants something American-style to cater to Americans who will drop by once in a while.

Lmao that's so funny

But the face betrays them most of the time.

It's important for them to not cause others to lose face, so even if they hate it, they won't embarrass the guy

@@KingNast Thing is, I think they were being serious, especially about the Philly Roll. Cheese is becoming more and more popular in Japan and Korea, especially among young people (hence why he kept saying kids would love it). Cheese has become so trendy, they are putting it in all kinds of crazy things now. Not to mention, that restaurant is right next to the American base in Okinawa, the owner is probably thinking it will sell extremely well to both young people and Americans stationed close by. And he's probably right.

@@Kelnx don't they put kraft singles on ramen in Korea?

@@babablap ugh yeah. Among other atrocious uses of cheese.

low key roasted

Pretty sure they loved it as well

@@hippiemuslim nope. No Japanese person would be direct and sassy they don't like it. You'll need to listen for context cues. This is mainly for Americans who can't handle real sushi or for kids

@@ohdaUtube ):

Gotta update when you do!

Have you been yet. Did they put them on the menu?

Come on man, reply! lol

@@chinnjk my mans is in the military chill lmao

@@Ryan-om2de Was I speaking to you?

That love of sauce most of our cuisine shows is totally a french thing we adopted after buying lousiana. Both the french and us americans do love our sauces and reductions

ensemble? American cuisine is about a clash of flavours, over-seasoning and meals unfit for performing any kind of task afterwards. If you want an ensemble of flavours and textures, study classical french cooking. Or modern spanish high end gastronomy for example

@@sharpskilz Spoken like someone who has no idea about American cuisine, or possibly just a hate of America.

"If you won't be able to taste the fish, might as well use chicken or other meats instead." Poor fish.

Not everyone enjoys raw fish.

The Japanese are well known for being two faced and polite when it's deemed necessary to be formal.

Much of Japanese food culture was inspired by other countries traditions, taken to Japan and remade into what suits the Japanese pallet. Japanese curry (India, The Uk) tempura (Portugal) Ramen (China) and so on. It is only natural for the Japanese to se their own food culture be changed and return to Japan. Many people don’t know this part of Japanese history.

D D Wow, your comment is very negative. Just because people do not see the world like you do, does not mean that their view of the world is wrong and yours is correct. To think that, is quite ignorant and childish and this mindset is the cause of many wars. The Japanese do not act as individuals as we do in the west, they are part of a unit, they go out of their way not to create friction within the group. This is not two faced in Japan it’s called respect.

The Japanese as a whole are a very polite people. If he just stopped random people walking by to try it, I don't think he would have gotten anything but that they like it even if they didn't. In this setting, I believe these gentlemen were being completely honest. It isn't being two faced, its politeness and being gracious of hospitality.

Shut up bitch

that is just nasty

That's funny, I can't remember the last time I had "American" cuisine that contained cream cheese. I guess I just have to go look for it.

thats not even true. you can get just as much filling into a regular roll if you go light on the rice.

Naren Srinivasan you can have a humongous roll but you would just have to use a bigger sheet of nori

I'm not sure but I think Sushi was appropriated to have rice on the outside so Americans can have a familiar texture on the outside. Back when sushi started to pop in America, the people would see the Seaweed as an unappetizing feeling in the mouth. I don't know if this is true or if I remember it correctly but it makes sense.

@@boost3188 funnily enough I hated sushi for a long time because I had traditional nori sushi for my first time and couldn't handle the seaweed. I've gotten over it now that I'm much older but the first time I had "american" sushi I was like oh fuck yeah this is amazing, no wonder everyone likes sushi.

I prefer sashimi, nigiri and norimaki. I'll eat the rice outside style occasionally, as long as it's not covered in sauce but I prefer to taste the fish, seaweed and rice. I guess I'm not your average American.

This is extremely accurate

We only mentioned it twice. :) We're planning to mention it more when episodes relate to OCL. i.e we've had people ask us to go into specifics on all our camping gear but that doesn't quite fit OCL/will make the video too long, so we're planning to do a video on that with this channel.

It's true: easing the American palate into the flavors of raw fish for a country that is 90% landlocked was important as a gateway to more typical sushi

Thanks for watching both!

@@OutdoorChefLife you are very welcome! Keep up the great quality content and I'll keep watching the vids you two put out

Awesome!
