This is truly what Sushi's about, come show respect for the teachers and lots of stories behind one nigiri, love & respect.

[@gxmanas2758]

more of chef david. and sushi episodes. love you EATER. MORE POWERS AND BLESSINGS

[@sucky_on_my_farquaad2992]

Hey that was pretty good. I always loved seeing specialised sushi chefs making sushi! I liked this episode! Keep up the good work!

[@Vandaleese]

Always wanted to be a sushi chef, I might take the course. it's 3,000 dollars tho haha but I think it is an amazing start for someone who really wants this as a career. Master? no but it a huge step into becoming a master. this training will probably get you a guranteed job at a local sushi place if not an apprenticeship with a master sushi chef. things to considered.

[@arpeemac]

go to Japan and live near Tsukiji for a couple of months. Try to study how tuna and other seafood are graded and selected.

[@gadawgz5464]

Great investment for your future tho. You’d make that back in no time.

[@priabernamadimas]

well. 2 month is to train the basic of sushi making but it will take a whole life to improve yourself to served better sushi everyday. that what we called shokunin how we boiled wild shrimp, what temperature, how long we boiled, the timing even your own "Gari" recepie and what style you choose? Edomae? fushion?

[@graceandmarvellouswonders6249]

The last words of wisdom from the woman is gold! Thank you ✌🏾

[@lafoto88]

Andy was my sensei...he's really knowledgeable.

[@anggaprahadi9840]

it was out 7 minutes ago and people are already disliking, they didnt even watch it first smh-_-

[@EhabAtia1991]

people aren't liking the sushi master thing apparently

[@drogus]

youtube does automatically dislike videos to combat against view bots, so it's not all just hate.

[@epistarter1136]

Been a yr since then and only 87 dislikes so hey, pretty good.

[@NOVAsteamed]

Does someone knows any online course to the basics of sushi and other japanese recipes. I know it will never be the same as real course but I just want to learn the basics.

[@daveatienza9055]

Chef Andy Matsuda!!!

[@raunakagarwal8038]

Why do they have a poster of the Commercial Fishes of India?

[@elaineyiu2375]

I love yoursushi technique abd demo video and life story and student feed back and successful stories. Mahalo and Aloha from Mililan Oau, Hawaii! please continue to share your post and I will share it on Facebook with friends n=and family

[@blackdoge5754]

I'd rather call it well trained sushi chef. But master? no. It's a big insult to REAL sushi masters.

[@kotaonii]

amen xD

[@SmokeyBowlzz]

lol where does it say how to become a master sushi chef?

[@blackdoge5754]

lol you're six months late thats why you cant see it.

[@SmokeyBowlzz]

see what that you can't read

[@kh-zh1pj]

yes hes a trained sushi chef but it doesnt mean that hes not a master. ur more an insult no respect at all. shame shame shame

[@blackhawk2429]

I missed my class mate..i wonder what they are doing these days.

[@perenniallong]

Lols. Sushi chefs train their whole lifes to perfect their craft, but now you can assume that one is now a "master" with this 2 month course! I can imagine these future people saying in their new restaurant, "I have trained hard for two months." Lol.

[@arpeemac]

wow! becoming a sushi chef is indeed easy - 2 months! maybe they can compile tutorial videos and upload them here on youtube, and who knows, I could be a sushi chef just by watching those videos!!!

[@Tiafain]

Soon there will be tutorial videos labeled "How to become a sushi making expert in 10 minutes!!!" and we'll have people throwing home parties with the slogan: "Imma go over to Denny's and become a sushi chef". Gawd.... everything in this world is turning into results in the shortest amount of time, I can't believe that the traditional Japanese values of patience are getting thrown out of the window.

[@joeymartinez4363]

Or here’s an idea, find a buffet or a mom and pop shop and move up you can find amazing chefs if you make this a way of life, learn basics and speed there at the “low end” and then you’ll have the hardest part done, “sushi chef” on your resume

[@ddbb6047]

WOW, that looks so tasty.

[@shaunmcgregor2653]

Why are there always a bunch of wannabe professional food critics in the comment sections of videos like this

[@tristanholmes7948]

Where can i get that poster in the back with all the sushi fish, next to the Japan map.

[@RealMonkeyz]

Can you go there if you a kid?

[@user-zi6gt2ox8t]

Come to Australia, please.

Can you make this program in Poland

[@mchoppy7778]

basically the Bruce Lee of the culinary world

[@hiroshihasegawa8453]

If you not a dumb, at least you should distinguish between Japanese and Chinese.

[@Suzuki556]

+Kiyoshi LnE what are you talking about..?

[@hiroshihasegawa8453]

Colossus the Col For example, if you use a metaphor of Napoleon to explain English culture, it's rude to English people, needless to say. Don't you understand that easy thing?

[@mchoppy7778]

+Kiyoshi LnE oh the irony.... enjoy life

[@jasonreviews]

nah he's in japan. jiro is in japan. He's so booked it takes years to even get a seat at the restaurant.

[@dvertida256]

[@kououritan]

good mythical crew anyone?

[@nhbilly]

I want that knife.

[@forte210392]

I may be wrong, but are they using jasmine rice in making the sushi? Also, 2 months seems like a rather short time to become a "master"

[@dropmelon]

The people that come up with the title at eater sometimes makes clickbait-y titles.

[@amieichikawa9523]

nah...its japanese short grain. ..its for sure not jasmine 😉

[@forte210392]

+Amie Ichikawa haha i was pretty sure short grain was stubbier :/

[@amieichikawa9523]

+Aloysius Soong u were pretty right 😄

[@gracielameneses3615]

That's what I thought! The rice seems like jasmine. I'm a chef, and I love to learn different cuisines. Lately I have tried to learn to make sushi on my own through books, and videos from master sushi chefs. I have a lot of respect to those people who dedicate years to learn, and learning Japanese food to me is kind of a hobby and love for the Japanese culture. I purchase my products at an Asian market, trying to buy Japanese ingredients as possible. I always thought that sushi was made with jasmine rice, however, sushi rice has different characteristics. Greetings!

[@justthatsimple1800]

whos eating sushi while watching this

[@michellepechie55]

This is an example of the new American norm of education or trade. We have replaced a lengthy focused apprenticeship with a quick, expensive course the outcome of which is some kind of certificate. These people seem to have standards, but most do not. Skill has gone out of a lot of trades because of it.

[@dvertida256]

[@juheelee7641]

Hello ~it was good ~ I found your class from KZbin . Where is yours location and you still open the sushi class?

[@rianclaird5260]

This reminds me of Mike Tyson with Muhammed Ali

[@jasonreviews]

nigiri the rice ball technique is so hard. OH my god.

[@trevorpinnocky]

you can achieve a level of sort some of competence within two months, but there's no way to become a master of anything, let alone sushi, in 2 months. The sensei seems very nice, though. :)

[@MrBillybonka]

10 years in 2 months , just alike yur driverslicence

[@YoWassupFresh]

Get your paper. But this goes against what it means to be a sushi chef.

[@axxxc]

It really isn't that hard to make sushi. People who say so are just being pretentious. 2 months is plenty of time to learn how to master that craft

[@luticia]

Look at 1:59 how he cut the roll ! Sooooo very wrong! The whole concept of this is so dubious and only a money maker. NO real sushi master would offer such a thing or would participate in such an offer.

[@lafoto88]

spoken like a true sushi chef...where pray tell are you working? asshat.

[@nayanmipun6784]

Vegan sushi please

[@moracomole8090]

It doesn't take 10 years to make a sushi chef. Just as it didn't take 6 years to make a candle maker Japan is still stuck in medieval guild mentality and just take as an excuse to have their own personal slave.

[@kolbypham7318]

先生 is a form of mister isn't it? If anything, wouldn't 老师 be more appropriate?

[@jheric619]

the 2 employees of goodmythicalmorning disrepected him

[@abitearoundtheworld6125]

how?

[@andymatsuda1793]

It was all in good fun. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes =)

[@mariohernandez2637]

Andy Matsuda saving up money to goto this school

[@ToraShimojima]

He seems like a very skilled sushi chef, but I have very little faith in him being able to produce high-quality students in such a short time period. He was making fun of the fact that his pupils wanted to speed through all of the lessons from sharpening knives, to making sushi rice, to making nigiri; of course they want to speed through it, it's such a short course. I think the Sushi Chef Institute will have a very poor reputation, unless Chef Matsuda changes his curriculum.

[@chi-juiho2131]

Master sushi in 2 months? Might as well say, "Buy this book or class! You too can be a martial arts black belt in a month or however short time." There is a reason why sushi is expensive.

[@EzioSpeedArt]

Its easy for Asians because they are all masters lol

[@EzioSpeedArt]

i am not even Asian i dont hate anyone but reason why i say that is because i like asian martial arts and asia history is full of masters thats why i love them i am from Europe i am not racist so dont hate if you dont understand me

[@emilyc7727]

It’s not easy, we just are more disciplined and work harder cause we gotta protect our family name and face

[@aaronseeker]

Wtf... no one can make sushi in 2 months this dude is bs.

[@icookfood5680]

Sushi Chef.....in two months talk about a low standard.

[@3forte]

You know how America's education system is quickly becoming a big business right? The term "diploma mills" tossed around to describe institutes and colleges that accept students to take their money and give them a certificate after a short time. That's the kind of vibe I'm getting from this video. Sushi Chef Institute, something fishy about it...

[@holdenkaplan4234]

hi 1st comment

[@shouldyoumovethere9462]

Congrats!

[@bongky18]

brace yourselves for subpar sushi sensei.

[@theblobfish9614]

I don't like him, please discard

[@meijikenbootes]

what an a-hole you are.

[@theblobfish9614]

+Kenneth Wong yes, Sir!

[@tangelo6orange]

I don't dislike him, but the curriculum of his school is doubtful. The school should be 2 years, not 2 month. He just makes off-quality sushi maker.

[@XdarkmutantX1]

All this guy needs is the Umami woman to join him and spam the word Umami into my ears. Terrible.
