[@maxque2841]

ALos, you can tell Justin is the big homie. Seems like a real chiller.

[@Exilitate]

Beautiful family, can't wait for Taku and Jocelyn to be that far along hah.

[@jakekama1011]

Taku are you still on oahu

[@erubeycasillas1485]

You have to make a “Catch and Sushi” in Hawaii it’s a must!!!

[@chrisolinger2862]

Love your videos. Can we get a history of Taku episode. Want to know how you grew up in Japan, became a chef, moved to America, all the cool stuff

[@exalite7736]

The only successful KZbin I know that doesn’t have clickbait titles or thumbnails. You deserve more subs!

[@exalite7736]

GodlyGamer yeah! He already he is successful, and deserves more subs! You can have a like 20k subs and still be successful.

[@DoodleBug558]

The only channel you know of? you must be watching the WRONG channels hahaha... Check out Deermeatfordinner, BlueGabe, Fishermans Life, and Landshark Outdoors. All amazing channels without clickbaits :)

[@IGuessSoMaybe]

Ronnise Russell never heard of any of those

[@IGuessSoMaybe]

I’m sorry but you have mc profile pic I can’t take you seriously

[@Mycobob]

Dude he puts his woman in the thumbnails all the time dude knows tits sells to thirsty internet guys. He does do click bait titles.

[@danieltobosi1592]

HELP ME GUYS!!! I'M NEW HERE kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ6oaaWtnauViLc

Mantis shrimp has sooo little meat on it, huge disappointment.

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Knife is Life!! I've been binging these videos so hard, I realize I click thumbs up before the start playing

[@SupaAZN100]

Your videos are so soothing! It’s always a pleasure to watch your master craftsmanship with the food you catch and cook.

[@supermcfugal]

I love watching all your videos because I recognize a lot of the beaches you go to. Half Moon Bay even over here in Oahu because I was born in San Francisco grew up in the Sacramento area and just moved from Ventura and now I live on Oahu.

[@jendiloreto3144]

Just bought a takoyaki cast iron pan! So excited I had to re-watch this video!

[@Chenrandyliu]

i have been binging on your videos for the past few days, so far the best cooking channel on youtube

[@tommyliu4683]

That looks Hella good!!!

[@koreanboii1]

Bro you're full of good vibes. Always enjoy watching ur vids Love and support from NY

[@soldierofscience2888]

Just absolutely love this channel. I live on a power boat in Ventura California, and I love hooping for lobster, shore fishing, harvesting clams and muscles and everything else I can do to discover my local ocean environment. This show adds to my knowledge especially when it comes to cooking those foods.

[@user-ys5xn7yx4x]

Randomly scrolling threw and I’m from Ventura also... small KZbin world

[@SmokeLikeABossOG]

Good video bro. Needs more scissor shots tho lol.

[@dr3ams00]

You two at it again lol, another special dish.

[@ChrisPfish2]

damn that looked really good! I liked watching you make that dish very cool!

[@JoeStackSJC]

Crispy outside, pillowy soft inside. Food poetry ftw. Japanese hush puppy.

[@Ruto684]

Knife is life, Takoyaki yummm 😋😍

[@taybandz8789]

Been waiting all week for this 👌

[@Ant2Raw87]

Glad to see you're getting sponsors or favor for favors, I watch a lot of vlogs I don't really fish but I love your channel and it's easy to see you're a genuine good person with integrity with the skills to pay the Bills 🎣🐠🐙🐚🦞🦑🎣🔥

[@ryanblackwell928]

No Kewpie? I remember having it exactly how you made it when I was in Tokyo, but with Kewpie Mayo too. But hey, it looks delicious anyways. Great job!!

[@danieltobosi1592]

HELP ME GUYS!!! I'M NEW HERE kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ6oaaWtnauViLc

[@Racmaster00]

I was thinking the same thing, gotta have the kewpie

[@JESUSISKING77742]

Right I’m guessing they didn’t have any but kewpie is always a must. I like to sprinkle a little shichimi on them too

[@benyessin7424]

Taku, your VLOG(s) only get better!!! Your smile tells it all!!! Aloha!!! and Mahallo... really enoyed this one!!!

[@Mytyweav]

YOU are killin' me!! I'm starved for some dinner and I come home and have to watch this????? Good to see you guys having fun! PG&E is shutting us down AGAIN tomorrow... Going to have to hang in there with canned Albacore..... Enjoyed watching you guys enjoy the Octopus..... Can hardly wait to try it out here. Weav

[@LiquifiedBlarg]

Shoutouts to Big Wave. Everything from Kona is great

[@fishehunteral2280]

Looks delicious!! Def on my must try list

[@toorealworld]

To me the best part was when your friends kid asked for seconds. So cute man. It looked delicious. One day I'll be able to experience this for my self. Keep up the dope videos! Shout out from Clearwater FL!

[@xIIL3GENDx]

Takoyaki is great. I live in Japan and absolutely love it. Recently I've seen it made with some other ingredients for kids who aren't so into seafood. I suppose its not really "tako"yaki anymore, but I've seen the tako replaced with things like cheese, all in the same batter and topped with the same sauce. Its good, but its not as good as the original. Nice vid! Keep up the good work!

[@qnzchoe]

The homie Justin came throuuuuugh with the clutch.

[@dohpe-]

Octopus looks delicious "Knife is Life"

[@Adamantium830]

Leave no holes unpoked lol 😂 I love watching this channel for all its content 👏🏻

[@tsokhmer7168]

Man everything you chef up looks hella good. Bless

[@Lthies20]

Glad to see you drinking one of my favorites! Kona big wave gets exported to my area and it is my chilling beer. Awesome video as always!

[@Yotarnn]

4:54 You take drinks like me, gotta cut away so we don't see you down half a bottle in one go lmao Love the channel, keep it up brother!

[@mariadracona]

You can stuff them with whatever you like. I like to grind shrimp, add to the batter, and further, stuff it with shrimp tempura to make tempura stuffed ebiyaki, and also put in a pinch of finely chopped ginger, green onions, and chives. The shrimp will cook perfectly and will add flavor to the batter. Sometimes I'll add tako inside the ball too, but not often, as fresh octopus is expensive here. I also put soy sauce in my mixture and a very light dash of rice vinegar, as well as a little bit of rice flour to make the inside even more moist. Super flavorful. I find it interesting that you don't add eggs to your mix though. I add one egg and it helps fluff up the yaki batter when it cooks.

[@akstronaut5657]

Hey i rember when you were at less than 40k subs and now almost 200k keep grinsing amazing video

[@kazzmo1]

In the end, y’all still came out on top!

[@ethanstaub2890]

These are everywhere where in Okinawa. I bought them one time not knowing what was in them. Now I love em!

[@sivedan]

Taku 0 - Tako 1, lol Love your humor Taku :))

[@stransmith1580]

Been waiting for this octopus video 🐙

[@torrin999]

Great video man :) Got to fold my laundry and watch this. Paired well together, that octopus dish looked amazingggg. Mouth watering. Thanks :)

[@michaelvalenzuela9468]

Welcome to Hawaii brother ! Would love to see you coming out a lot more.

[@MediCali951]

You didn’t mention how it’s illegal to touch the turtles in Hawaii. They are protected and a lot of the locals believe they are their reincarnated ancestors. Love and miss Hawaii aloha from California!

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

It is illegal however when you're diving they come up really close, sometimes out of nowhere. Definitely curious creatures 🤙🏽

[@michaelvalenzuela9468]

The for letting people know ! Much Mahalos from Hawaii brother

[@aruhtaz]

I rmb this! I rmb hearing during a safety briefing at hanauma bay that they could potentially get tumors around the areas they have human contact... not sure if that was true but I made damn sure I left them alone, they big chillin just riding their ocean currents bruh... but sad to say I did see a few tourists touching them, did tell a few of them to stop.... but still amazed me how some people rlly don’t care

[@Fishingjunkie-y8v]

Wow I will remember this . Currently on kona island and getting ready to go snorkeling. Mahalo.

[@r.6731]

They are GOD'S creatures, not human's.

[@taaylorrgaang]

Knife is life! I just wanna cut onions and not cry

[@XRPstrong]

Taku getting darker with each episode 😁

[@khonhlo1476]

Forget about the TAKO, Taku is going to Japan! Also, Taku can you do a collap with Firebox? He usually travels to mountainous national park for camping and it would be interesting to see what you can come up with for catch n cook national park edition.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

That would be cool. I have both the 5" and firebox nano

[@khonhlo1476]

​@@OutdoorChefLife I'd asked him about doing a collap with you a few weeks back in one of his video. He was opened to the idea, so I'm here advocating that you reach out to him at some point before the end of the year to do a mountainous expedition for Out Door Chef life Midwest style.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

@@khonhlo1476 I'm in Japan now. I won't be back in the states for awhile but hopefully we'll get something going in the future!

[@letsplayandroid8792]

Takoyaki is one of my favorite. Heres a like for that.

[@moevtec1349]

Love the Kona big wave 🌊

[@ReymelandAmyEatStuff]

That looks so good! It's making my mouth water.

Great chill video and the Takoyaki looked great! Cheers.

I used to have them on the menu at my restaurant. So tasty.

“I’m not going to leave any holes unpoked” Hardyharhar 🤦‍♂️😂 love your content!

[@yizee9312]

Taku Tuesday baby!!

[@sivedan]

Good episode !! If i'll ever be in Japan, i'll make sure to try Tako Yaki :)

[@HelenNetoken]

Cooked a fresh octopus a few weeks ago..friend caught one for me..it was sooo delicious..made it GreekStyle( Medetarian Seasonings) grilled to perfection!

Would love to see you hit local farmers & fish markets and show off your creations featuring local ingredients. Can’t wait to see your take on Osaka!

[@aUCLZlstrBh5upnFr7OmhNHag]

You should try doing a video series of doing catch n'cook invasive species. It could help promote people to try and cooking invasive species, you can also educate your audience about the importance of maintaining a healthy eco-system.

[@NiSE_Rafter]

Ooh I LOVE takoyaki it's one of my favorite treats. Glad y'all were able to get one in the end! This Hawaii content is so suspenseful 😬

[@jp3576]

Love your channel. I’ve stopped eating octopus. They’re highly intelligent. Not just the ones that went to university, but also the everyday joes. They’re different, like their DNA. Don’t get me wrong. Love sushi. It’s something about octopus. Salute.

[@lbjake21]

Wow that was really cool how they came together into balls! It looked like a mess when you first poured the batter! Thanks for sharing Taku.

[@novola1972]

Thanks Tacu! Great video and post more. Will be waiting

[@mochix2894]

You're a great chef Taku and hope the best for you and your channel. I'm Mexican and I love watching these videos and discovering new dishes and things to eat. Thank you! S/O from SoCal!

[@Solrax6]

Cant wait for the Japan videos. Such much good seafood there! Can't wait to go back!

[@WashJosh]

Since Takoyaki only uses Octopus, you should experiment! Abalone Squid Sea Urchin Maybe even crab/Lobster

[@thatshirleylee]

won't be called takoyaki then lol

[@epicdream3r992]

@@thatshirleylee we can just call it Takuyaki then. LOL

Nice! I made this with tegula aka "tuban snail" out here in California last year for our KZbin channel and it was awesome! Tegula makes a great alternative for folks who are just foraging the high intertidal zone.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Lol yeah i remember. When I was editing that part, "ive never seen it made with anything else" I was like except Kevin! used turban snails. Hahaha
