いいねぇ〜！！　地元、そして母校で講師。高知の良さを世界に広げる。素晴らしいですよ☺✨

ありがとうございます。

He's done well for himself, nothing like a triumphant homecoming. 👍 He has a quiet elegance to him. He would never have recorded himself. Thanks for documenting his life for us, for posterity (and a _big thanks_ for the subtitles!). I love how the whole class bows in respect when he enters. Please, Japan, never lose that.

[@dmac7403]

It's just not Japan that has respect for a good guy of their nationality.. people are ignorant.

[@-RONNIE]

That was so nice of you to revisit your old school and help the new students that are just learning to become chefs 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wish them all the best of luck in their new future careers

[@carlospvp1858]

And you've made it so far! Proud of you master Hiro.

[@donaldlembo1263]

How wonderful it must have felt to go back and share with the students. Fantastic

[@aldencole1099]

Fabulous. Having been on the bench side of the lab, be it cooking or electronics, I viewed this presentation with great joy. Hiro's opening remarks were complete and efficiently delivered, the mark of an experienced public speaker. After that, the demo of the California roll. Great choice, simple and fine end product. Hiro demonstrated terrific techniques and tips on how to be efficient on the prep bench. To watch Professor Hiro cruising around and interacting with the students(the Cameraman got in to the act too with the knife wetting tip) was great fun to watch .

This is one of the best videos you guys have done. You guys are amazing. I have learned so much over the years and now my family wants me to start posting pics of my creations on Instagram. Maybe I will one day. I just want to say thank you, Chef Terada from the bottom of my heart. It's very generous of you to share your knowledge with the world. It has changed my life - because I am such a sushi lover and because making it yourself is far more economical, I can eat it at any time I wish. I took up the art of sushi during the pandemic and will never stop. I make it for friends and family during special get togethers. It's all because of you and what you share. I thank you.

[@HiroyukiTeradaChannel]

Thank you for your kind words..!

[@wil6614]

So this is how your next chapter looks like. Very happy for you both, thanks for your many years of hard work! Looking forward to future videos!

[@josephbach1]

Some how ive imagend him learning his cooking skills in a wooden old dojo. And his master had a long white beard. I did not expect a modern western-looking school :D

[@HiroyukiTeradaChannel]

It's been over 35 years since I graduated. The school was renovated about ten years ago. I should have taken a picture when I was at school.。😉😅

[@valeron4928]

[@bboopwasabi837]

❤🎉Such a humbling experience for you! A+!

[@johnwakamatsu3391]

I am glad that you visited the Kochi cooking school. I have never been to Kochi and would like to visit with my wife who visited Kochi several years ago. I enjoy watching your videos and enjoy eating Japanese food that my wife prepares as well as eating out in local Japanese restaurant located in the Los Angeles South Bay area.

[@HiroyukiTeradaChannel]

I was in Kochi Prefecture in last May, for a different activity than KZbin. I uploaded those videos on my subchannel, so please take a look. And please go to Kochi Prefecture one day..!

[@RR-vf2bd]

Great video! 👍 it is always good to teach your experience to younger generations

[@ArielBerdugo]

Very beautiful. Very moving. Thank you.

[@stacietagomori634]

Yes.. beautifully said!

[@stacietagomori634]

❤❤This was such a heartwarming and amazing video. A great job to camera man who captured all the memorable moments. It was great to hear such a GREAT report from the principal. Such an outstanding honor student. 💯 It is always an honor to be taught by you and to get nuggets is even better. Chee huuu to camera man for that knife pointer.🤭BTW Awesome green shoes!

[@MrCoors68]

I agree with you, such a great video, and the students were learning alot from Hiro !

[@Freez_Izzy]

Such a warm heart video. Homie school with friendly teachers and students.

[@GlobalTossPot]

One of the best videos you guys put out thus far. Great to see Hiro return to his school, talk about his life and mentor the students that will serve as the future in culinary. Truly an inspiration to all!

[@u235u235u235]

yes, i sense he really enjoyed this experience self actualizing his full potential coming full circle as a life well lived with purpose and meaning maybe even exceeding his expectations when he started his journey. few achieve that you could hear it in his voice. back to the homeland to help a new generation.

[@luiscarlosgusso6890]

Parabéns HIRO pelo ensinamento abraço de quebra costela de um fam

Me too. This would be the opportunity of a lifetime.

[@ikedatoshiko1438]

[@hbgriss]

Going to be awesome getting more new chefs to post sushi on line. Few and far between for good.

[@3forte]

This is a very nice video to celebrate 2 million subscribers.

[@davidmatke248]

Good afternoon!

[@Keitan97]

Wow! Backstory arc 😮

[@MrCoors68]

The Subtitles in english are way off. not exact translation. possibly fix these for us english speakers? Excellent Video ! You must feel good to demonstrate a class to these fine learning chef students. very good ~ ! ! ! love your work and the cameraman too.

[@stacietagomori634]

Yes I agree this was an excellent video. I would be so nervous to do anything in front of Hiro I think I would have messed up big time!

[@SmartBalance100]

Hiro, You seems to be a good Sensei as well! ☺

[@stan9100]

Amazing!!

[@thb77955]

Hiro, my friend, g11d aftern11n!!! It's a sort of homecoming... ❤️🇯🇵❤️🇩🇪❤️🇺🇲❤️

[@stacietagomori634]

I agree this was such the homecoming after 3 years of not going home. So happy for him.

[@aakroyd]

FREAKIN AWESOME !

[@rubembarbosa6953]

Aqui de Salvador-Bahia Brasil. Muito bom.

[@hanj31]

hiro came to the states one year after I was born. He's been in the country longer than I have. I've only lived in the US for like 23 years of my life. The rest was in Korea. He's come full circle going back to the cooking school where it all began.

[@josephbach1]

And still his english is below good.

[@hanj31]

@@josephbach1 that's because he came as an adult in his 20's

[@stacietagomori634]

​@@josephbach1 They say if you come before 14 or 15 the accent is not as strong. His English has majorly improved!

[@hbgriss]

They did as good as i did my first time! 💪🏼

[@jazmingonzalez3227]

I will love to be in that class. LOL!!!!!!!

[@mariokings1294]

👍😃👏👏

[@Puppy_Puppington]

What a wholesome origins and returning to roots video!!! Sidenote: I was wondering why there was so many casting couch videos in Japan as of late….. 😂😂😂 🌭 🌮

[@theinwin3718]

Those Cali roll looks easy to make...but it is not easy to roll at all....no joke.

[@josephbach1]

Hardes part for me is to turn them into a almost perfect square. Mine always turn out round or triangular.

[@dmac7403]

"In English "Basically the restaurant that you started working at in Miami had terrible ownership and had no direction, it was eventually going to fail and there was no way that hero could ever advanced there because they were holding him down, then he discovered KZbin by chance and the way they they held him back , then he start to become famous through KZbin so that's the direction he went , quit the restaurant and it worked out !!!! Now here he is today successful from hard work and some luck .... because of a broken business and a blind owner ,after meeting a new friend in Miami the cameraman was the turning point in both their lives or he would still be working from place to place until he retired trying to find his way , glad it worked out for Hiro he deserved the blessing....

[@MikeChowda]

Hiro is awesome along with camera man. This channel is one of my favorites

[@stacietagomori634]

Yes... Hiro is the best and Charles always there to record memories of a lifetime.

[@cherriemay528]

He looks like a nice teacher😂

[@dmac7403]

He won't even say the restaurants name that says how bad the situation there was ,it says a lot.

[@stevem9319]

GOOD AFTERNOON!! Oh hiro oh hiro. Why didn't you show them how to cut the sushi? So it's not messy. Know with the plastic wrap. Lol
