14 Seats, 16 Courses, 1 Chef: A Day With The Yakitori Master at Kono | On The Line | Bon Appétit

[@pgabrieli]

having broken down chickens for yakitori myself (I'm just an amateur learning), I was dying when I saw how he breaks down the chicken. when it did the neck I almost cried, it always takes me FOREVER, he just flies through and I'm sure with infinitely better results. a true master

[@miriamberman5581]

he uses amazing knifes and sharpens each day before he starts.

[@pgabrieli]

@@miriamberman5581 true. but I'm sure he would leave me in the dust even with a plastic knife! 😂

[@hooperchheang8534]

The chef has been in this profession for 17 years, yet he said that he experiences nervousness every day. The art of preparing Yakitori is no joke.

[@sonicfactory-uk]

Incredible, the skills on display when he segments the chicken are fantastic to watch. He seems like a really entertaining chef too, it would be a pleasure to watch him cook.

[@frankmillersincity1]

I love his playful and professional spirit. It's very humble, down to earth, and he's got a great attitude and sense of humor~

[@paul_j_b]

Am amazed (and grateful) at the generosity of these chefs sharing their processes

[@Arrynek01]

Because it doesn't matter if you know what they do. You will not be able to replicate it. It's like Roubuchon, Jean George, Alsatian.. They all have cookbooks published with exact recipes. You can't replicate the restaurant level even if you tried

[@hooperchheang8534]

Yes, dedications and alot of hard works are put into those meals.@@Arrynek01

[@MrBretC]

I love watching people that are passionate about what they do. It's almost magical watching them talk about it and then doing it, and this was no exception! Would love to go and experience it first hand.

[@trasewagner7582]

Passionate, humble, and talented. Well done Kono San.

[@royalmonster2319]

I always so happy when I see people like this being successful at what makes them happy!

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

Heart, soul, body... everything comes together as a Japanese artisinal master, a sensei, creates... He is still nervous, means he cares so much about his art and his reputation; means he is not jaded, not complacent after years and years of experience and honing of his skills. Chef Kono, 万歳!

[@threesuits]

Love what he said about cooking feeling like dancing and keeping the tempo too totally relate!

[@protopigeon]

Chef Kono is a living legend. One day I will eat his food!

[@tbtb1249]

ATS has perfected his craft, just amazing! What they didn't show is the cleanup, ordering of chicken, spices, charcoal Etc... Don't forget about paying his bills to run his restaurant as well as payroll for his staff. He does all of this with only 37 minutes of sleep a day.

[@curly6619]

Very smart to get the Amish chicken. I grew up near Amish country and their chickens are the absolute best. This chef is very charming. Thank you for this videos!

[@Lisa-pr1tz]

This was incredible! So much craft and dedication; beautiful to see in an increasingly automated, digital world. His love for yakitori moved me.

[@johnt7776]

Wow the kitchen is immaculate. You could eat off the floor..😊

[@soulreaperiix_x8477]

japan has that incredible mentality, like its so common in japan while other places usually only have this level of cleanliness in higher end restaurants but even then not always

[@moonchees3]

Yakitori got me in here, but I stayed for the chef's passion and style. Great episode BA!

[@tonynoti1716]

Chef Kono, you and Yakitori guy realy inspire. I'm all the way in Kenya and who knows, I might just open a yakitori outlet one day. I love cooking but this.....this is passion it's all I ever watch

[@snipedilo]

his nerves and concerns before every service DESPITE having done this for 10+ years tells you just how passionate he is about his craft

[@catmushing]

SOLID! Wonderful chef. Knife skills, dancing and amazing technique at the konroe. Will be hitting this place next time I'm in the city.

[@80Entreri]

This was a great video. Such a skilled and passionate chef

[@msiplin8613]

An amazing combination of passion, know-how, technic and SWAG! 💕❤️ Very inspiring

[@julietran121]

Cooking with rhythm and soul, I would watch him over and over again. Hope to visit his restaurant one day. Arigato Gozaimasu! 🌅🎍

[@emilplougnakahara387]

Chef Kono what an amazing guy with the most insane Yakitori cooking skills! So much respect for his restaurant and cooking.

[@derrianpablo]

Love Kono wish I can visit his restaurant soon

[@Chris-el4hd]

This guy is so cool! Definitely would love to meet him and try his food.

[@erinpickles]

Anyone else low key crushing? "Which is your favorite dance or being a chef?" "I cannot pick. My brains always on the beat even when cooking."

[@stmark4181]

WHAT A COOL GUY! A chef who used to be a breakdancer. Love his knowledge and experience - it INSPIRES me to do the BEST of whatever I do.

[@everythingsunderthesun7337]

[@thfield2417]

[@marketads1]

Incredible. Very few cooking demonstrations make me as hungry as this one. Grilled chicken parts. Yahoo!!!

[@tdpmayhemyt]

I remember watching this guy in videos long ago when he was just an employee. Now he’s got a beautiful restaurant and it’s doing well. This is the kind of story I like to see.

[@rockyraccoon6114]

I just love Japanese humble perfection and traditions.

[@jhonlouzbendt]

[@byl15]

Chef Kono is the culmination of many skills. One day I will try this restaurant!

[@SKMarcusA]

I have been to many Yakitori places in Tokyo and none seems as artistic as this guy's....want to check it out.

[@ceysin7895]

Chef.. I loved your presentation. And admired your respect to food. As an usual Japanese way which I admire. Great great. 👍

[@suhaibshaf5516]

Talented 🔥

[@CavemanSynthesizer]

Jaques Pepin: "here's how you break-down a chicken" Atsushi Kono: "here's how to turn a chicken into 500 distinct cuts of meat."

[@juanitoolmo2698]

[@SliceydiceyCookingNicey]

I have watched this video several times..... i am building a grill for hot and fast cookinmg, and Yakitori is one of the things i want to learn. Amazing technique and skill !!!!

[@tigerwuuds5341]

That's absolutely mind bending what you've achieved with a chicken what a class chef 👨‍🍳 👏

[@jakerson181]

Absolutely fascinating.

[@marthaminich886]

He’s adorable!

[@Mrsmichelledavis]

omgosh everything looks amazing chef ❤

[@myownperfectdisaster]

What a guy! Loved it

[@Jeedehem]

I made myself my own yakitori BBQ, and I couldn’t be prouder or more satisfied with the result …. but I run it with maple charcoal. This chef almost convinced me to order the bichotan charcoal, but I had to realize once more that this is out of my reach. You would not believe how expensive it is to get the stuff in Canada…

[@zefanyaandara8194]

The way he butcher the Chicken is so 🔥🔥🔥

[@fightingwords8955]

Totally COOOOOOOL

[@Lifeafterfifty1969]

[@TaylorJohnson1]

Wow! I respect Chef Kono and I respect the flame. On the list. 🥰

[@code4dragon256]

Yakitori is one of the big reasons I’d love to visit Japan. Honestly the only country I’d like to visit

[@jas_bataille]

That chicken pâté course should be a Michelin star by itself at least... dude is cooking 16 courses dedicated to the same ingredient?! Holyshit.

[@christopherhogg3227]

That was crazy awesome! Thanks
