How Master Sushi Chef Kashiba Brought Sushi to Seattle - Omakase

[@ast8710]

You always see that the most genuine and successful people say they never stop learning and are always keen to learn more even if they're on the top of their game. Amazing individual, adorable passionate old dude 😭

[@c1bersnake]

he lived in the US for 50 years and never learned the language tho

[@오세륜]

a T they are being humble & cool though hehe 😂😉

[@haydenpulchinski4836]

@ian legaspi master yi

[@nigelft]

@ian legaspi ... and that is chef's master was none other than Jiro-sensei, the 10th Dan of the sushi world, who, at 93, is still seeking perfection, means that is especially true ...

[@onlycasual1]

This is probably the best culinary series on youtube.

[@eater]

You're probably the best commenter on KZbin.

[@JoshuaHoe]

Nick Solares is probably the best host on KZbin

[@bensmith7536]

When it focuses on food, its unbeatable...... when it gets all left wing preachy, it has the same effect as opening a can of surströmming.

[@by2083]

not even close

[@patrickduncanjr.6847]

💯

[@vlindstrom]

PSA: Kashiba speaks perfect English. I work in the French restaurant literally underneath Sushi Kashiba and see him almost every day. Incredibly friendly and humble, runs a fantastic restaurant, treats his staff with respect and appreciation. I'll be fucking damned if anyone wants to talk shit.

[@siriusyuan2724]

Did you work at Café champagne?

[@vlindstrom]

Sirius Yuan I did! Only left because I moved. Great couple of years there.

[@seanriopel3132]

I don't out funny that he speaks English but does the entire interview in Japanese.

[@carolynthornton8017]

IN MY VIEW/ Why do you use curse words in the same sentence speaking of the Honorable Respected Chef Kashuba. Shame on you.

[@Rezent4649]

It's funny because I was going to say the dead opposite. I speak Japanese, and during this interview, he's struggling to pull out Japanese words and occasionally just says the English word instead. Clearly more used to English than Japanese after 50 years. Old boy has lived in the States for too long 😂

[@Brando850]

By far, Sushi Kashiba has been the best dining experience of my life. Even had Shiro serve me one of the three times I've been there. I'd go weekly if I could. If you are ever visit Seattle, make this spot a priority. They do not do reservations in advance, only the day of.

[@Yuuphonixx]

You know you're getting a quality experience if Jiro taught him. I hope this lineage continues so that the high level of excellence is preserved.

[@LifebyMikeG]

This is epic! I just went to Seattle for a shoot and filmed at Shiro's for the best sushi experience of my life. The combination of fresh local Seattle area seafood and Japanese techniques makes for the perfect sushi experience and a transportation right to homeland of sushi itself... -Mike

[@roundcircle000]

Brothers Green Eats hey mike, you guys are awesome .

[@neilrichey1998]

Hey Mike. I'm headed to Seattle this summer. Care to list some highlights?

[@LifebyMikeG]

Shiros, Pikes place market, taylors oyster bar, mamnoon, tera plata, sitka and spruce

[@LifebyMikeG]

Thanks!

[@neilrichey1998]

Thanks bro! Stoked on the stuff you guys did with my boy Zach Johnson out in Denver!

[@iansia93]

It's a sin to not subscribe to this channel after watching this. Truly well made.

[@jennafreek]

My husband and I went to Sushi Kashiba last year and did the Omakase. It was the most absolute freshest fish and most amazing sushi we ever had. So happy to see this video!

[@Joonudschi]

Quote: I am consistently learning something new, and I will continue learning. This chef has a great philosophy and work ethic. I love him.

[@holynapkin]

I had the honor of being served omakase by this man in this very restaurant. One of the best experiences of my life - not sure I've ever been happier.

[@Meme.Machine]

Thats really nice to say. I can tell you loved his food

[@mybrkly]

If you enjoyed this video, you should see the documentary, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,”- the Jiro referenced in this video.

[@SandLion]

thanks for the recommendation :D

[@Offenberg89]

Its great!

[@stra2g]

Jiro's honestly the reason sushi is even eaten on half the planet.

[@kedu182]

Dude U rocks. Thanks 4 that recommendation

[@ianzen]

Can't imagine being a sushi fan and not watching that documentary 😂

[@cobanich]

Jiro taught him :') Thanks Eater for one of the best food series in the world.

[@dunkninddonuts]

Respect to master chef for not being wasteful. I noticed most fishermen In Western Countries Would only filet a fish and throw away the rest of the body. Not Good.

[@SuperPtd]

Anybody else jump up when he said Jiro was his Master? Jiro-San?? That’s my dude

[@j.p.8808]

I was surprised that he was his mentor, such a great moment

[@sebastiansaxon]

yep, and then I thought holy crap, Im going to seattle asap.

[@sunnylee5446]

Yeahh.!!! Im goosebumps.. when he say jiro sensei teach the foundation to shiro sensei..

[@nigelft]

At this point in time, I find it hard not to believe that Jiro-Sensei isn't the 10th Dan Grandmaster of Sushi; from him, many masters themselves have flown ...

[@Xyz99899]

had the pleasure to try Shiro-san's omakase last year, it was unforgettable and so worth the wait.

[@roundcircle000]

Mango can you tell us how much was it and how long was the wait? do we need to reserve before a month or so? please share details.

[@roundcircle000]

i know how to google, but it would be good from a person's perspective.

[@Xyz99899]

For omakase you basically eat until your full. So it depends on your appetite for cost. I basically ate until i was kicked out. Its high grade sushi/sashimi so its not cheap but very worth. My understanding is you can’t reserve over the phone. You basically wait outside the resteraunt couple hours in advance and then get your name on list an hour before opening. If you want chef shiro-san to make sure to call advance to get his work schedule, he only works some days and only serves couple seatings.

[@Xyz99899]

Allapalli Bhageerath see my reply

[@slouie1]

I had the luxury to eat at Jiro's in Japan and Shiro's in Seattle. Although Shiro's was good, it is nothing even close to how amazing Jiro's is.

[@michaelguajardo3896]

We couldn't be prouder to have you in our country. And for you to be shareing your culture with us.

[@SD_702]

The omakase here was a top 3 dining experience of my life. I promised myself whatever they put in front of me I would eat without exception. Candidly, the salmon roe texture and overwhelming flavor was pretty tough for me to get through; had never had it before. But I mean it was 2 hours of absolute bliss at that counter. I highly recommend getting there extremely early to get seats 1 and 2 at the far end of the counter as these are Shiro-san's seats. We were in 5 & 6 and more 'dead center' and while we could see things all around the kitchen, we were never personally served by the master. Needless to say it was still absolutely off the charts considering every chef there is world class.

[@rogemillecastillo3183]

Holy crap! I live in Vancouver and I just discovered this. Jiro is my ultimate wish list and this is as close to that. Driving to Seattle on the weekend...

[@hirokoby8888]

Shiro さん お元気そうですね。 チェンバー ベイ でゴルフをご一緒した時のことを昨日のように覚えています。 シアトルでの益々のご活躍役をお祈りしています❗️

[@WittowBudduh]

I don't know what you said, but I think I agree with you.

[@soulreaver6083]

6:00 shrine for his sensei 😭 a perfect student grown into a sensei himself.

[@nigelft]

I know there maybe comments in the same vein, but I had chills when he described being a pupil of Jiro-sensei, whom many regard as being currently the greatest sushi chef alive today, especially as he was the very first sushi chef to gain Three Michelin Stars, and has kept them ever since ... Another fun fact ... Jiro-sensei is still very much alive and well, and, at 93, is still hard at work in his restaurant ...

[@khmerPradaG]

so much respect for him. Sushi Kashiba was amazing sushi and experience. you have to do the omakase

[@stra2g]

how much did it cost you? Curious since I'm actually heading over there in 2 weeks

[@Guero96]

Having such a legendary sushi master, I can see why he has been so successful. He seems to have great passion, and love for what he does. I'm glad to have seen this video. Japanese cuisine, and sushi always intrigues. A lot of their food is so clean, and simple, yet so delicious.

[@AP-vc7up]

Every sushi chef got his own taste and his own story thats the reason why Becoming a sushi chef is my passion and my dream aswell

[@gxchewy]

When you have the 🐐 as your sensei. Ur at the right path. Thanks Eater

[@ryanctliu]

well done guys! This video is very impressed me. Thank you and please continuing this kind of videos.

[@windrimondo]

I've dined here a few times. Twice with Kashiba himself at the sushi bar. He has another sushi restaurant in Seattle called Shiro, also very good. Both highly recommended for special occasions!

[@jpjuli]

I watched jiro's series of sushi, he is the greatest of all

[@eojesoj6153]

The old legend Japanese sushi chef.

[@johndaugherty7465]

He finally wrote a memoir, it's well worth the read.

[@regs4042]

I have been here a couple times and Shiro is amazing. The chefs he works with like Suzuki san are also amazing. One of the best dining experiences I have had. It us definitely worth waiting in line for 3-4 hrs to get a seat at the bar.

[@lammysdv]

He really liked chilling with Jiro

[@petergarcia8225]

These are skills that should never be lost in history...😳😲👍👍

[@chad3539]

I just realized that I went to this restaurant in 2014 by myself when I was walking around the Pike Market. I didn't know who Shiro San was and just wanted some sushi. I spent $120 on the Omakase if I wasn't mistaken. I met one of his students that day I think. It is crazy since that was the first Sushi place I have ever been in Seattle. I also went to Sushi Maneki, the one he used to work at a couple of times.

[@MEshaoWords]

I have reservations to here tonight and I cannot freaking wait!!

[@sesispace5972]

Salute & love from Indonesia! ❤️🇲🇨

[@nathanlaney1542]

Eating at a truly excellent sushi restaurant is probably the most sublime food experience you can have.

[@jimic51]

soon as he name dropped "Jiro" I got the chills!! sushi king

[@deemdagal4551]

Amazing! He is old and is one of the apprentice of great sushi chef Shiro-san from subway restaurant in Japan. Already watched the Shiro-san version of sushi documentary and it was great. Thanks for the upload. Really enjoyed watching this 😄 🍣😋

[@pr0ject240sx]

watching this video made me feel so happy.

[@weiyoudai4718]

I went to Sushi Kashiba yesterday and sat at the counter. We ordered omakase and it was a great experience. Probably the best sushi I ever had in Seattle.

[@07214919]

His master "JIRO" called "God of sushi" in Japan. Jiro's sushi is fantastic.

[@arlentonmenjin7121]

What a another's nice story of chef sushi master..He brought the traditional food of Japan to Seatle. Bless him love this video 👍👍👌

[@luisserech6090]

What he does is art; good video congratulations

[@NavyDood21]

Well, I guess I know where i need to go soon. Love living near Seattle, so much awesome seafood.

[@234kwon]

the work ethic and dedication to a craft is one of the best qualities of the Japanese people. much respect to them

[@Bookerdevin101]

Japanese cuisine is simply amazing

[@Joricano]

i love how the slicing and cleaning of the fish is shown. Reminds of the Japanese Iron Chef competitions

[@Ae-ne5iy]

I ate at this restaurant long before watching this and that's the first time that's happened to me with this series. This is one of my favorites aside from film I've seen about Jiro and Chiba's sushi & sushi stands in Japan for the more traditional style anyway which is the best it's the simplest. This was still one of the best sushi meals I'd ever had but I had no idea about all of this information that's amazing. I knew Maneki was over 100 years old but never would I have thought. The chilled monkfish liver dish at Maneki is amazing. Free the ikura from the freezer at Uwajimaya! Yeah no though that local pickled herring nigiri is a brilliant idea. I live in the same neighborhood as this restaurant.

[@samueltedla9346]

Always enjoyable watching and eating japanese food

[@liyalevich6235]

That was the best sushi experience in my life so far. It was mind blowing. Worth going to Seattle just for that experience

[@SuperJumpReviews]

That sushi looks perfect. It's like sushi you would only see in anime.

[@Lowcountryyankee]

SuperJumpReviews // Segue: I’m curious to see such anime. Recommendations, team Sushi Lovers?

[@boe5354]

Jiro is one heck of a sushi chef

[@오세륜]

He's great sushi chef!! 😉

[@pseudochef07]

Sushi godfather holding court in Seattle. He learned from the best. Jiro-san. #legends

[@lestertolentino907]

I always have respect for every japanese chef.

[@Zekei1234]

Almost went here a few years ago, but needed to get a reservation. Definitely considering to make that reservation next time I stop by Seattle.

[@heartbreakmanNo1]

This Series need to keep going, like........forever :T

[@kangjayaofficial9407]

So nostalgic for him and his teacher (Jiro-san). 😅

[@petergarcia8225]

I can retire and do this for the rest of my life..amazing

[@proudmuslim1535]

Mashaa Allah what a man... Oh he seems so in love with this work 😊👏. Long life sir.

[@myrandomlife8881]

[@devonmiller636]

[@sunnylee5446]

Whattt!!! Jiro sensei apprentice also the legend of sushi ...!!! Wowww!!

[@randomstranger_3]

Such mastery even though the ingredients he used aren't what supposed to be the ingredients that are usually used in making a sushi. Kudos to this man on adapting to local ingredients 👌👌👌

[@januariolourencolopes2971]

You guys always come up with beautiful videos about foods 💪💪🤝🤝👍👍👏👏

[@akiraakiraakiraakira]

awesome interview and so nicely filmed

[@qinwoodruff969]

Eater did many high quality videos (not including that so so so creamy lady). I don't understand why subscription is so low. Should be 1M+ years ago. Don't get it.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

the sooo soooo creamy lady ruined them

[@sunbro9076]

Now I'm interested. Please tell me more. :P

[@annemaveera5112]

[@geryang7561]

Totally me right now!!! I've been watching a bunch of sushi videos the past three nights..... Awaiting the day I can eat sushi again.....

[@arrowofpatience]

Lol for a sec I thought that was my comment. I'm pregnant and have been watching hundreds of sushi videos, teasing myself. Oh well, veggie and tempura rolls for now lol.

[@pantanachatsuwan1581]

I ate sushi throughout my pregnancy. My baby girl is now 7 months old and she’s a super healthy and a happy baby. :)

[@Kitajima2]

Wait, why can't you eat sushi? My mom ate sushi all the time while pregnant

[@michelele859]

This video is amazing and that chef is a KING! Definitely hoping to eat there next time I’m in Seattle 👍🏼

[@jomayusa]

[@GeorgeCabalo]

Great work on this video. It gave me flashbacks to Great Chefs of New York from the 80’s. I was expecting to hear Mary Lou Conroy’s voiceover.

[@jonathanronaldo5920]

really loves the tone!!~~~~..any reference? camera? or anything?

[@cartmoon633]

Oh god that salmon roe. Ahh my mouth is watering.

[@neB_Storm]

This is me 😍, staring at the food drooling..

[@yo2trader539]

His teacher/master was Ono Jiro from Sukiyabashi Jiro. Wow!!!

[@paulwall3269]

I have dined there. It's phenomenally good.

[@onoono1047]

[@nasrulfarid6826]

Legendary Woldclass Chef

[@ChefRafi]

Bring that to Maryland too. Love the uni!! 😊👍👨‍🍳

[@aasagarhangee5982]

I just love the way on how he pronounced the who name in English sounding way

[@chukas88]

I love any sushi video lol

[@63viet]

I like the humbleness of the Japanese chefs unlike of pretentiousness of some western chefs.

[@flymetomatteo]

He's a student of Jiro's woaaah 😍

[@p0ywave]

So I guess this is the place where Jiro first sent Nakazawa to work before Nakazawa opened up his restaurant in NYC

[@mikeheisenberg288]

p0ywave that's right... connection

[@MyogaReyao]

Yeah I went to Jiro and I remember he mentioned he broke off ties with Nakazawa because he left Shiro’s place in a really bad way

[@ricardomilthanos5406]

is this where kotaro also trained?

[@EvolvinEvo]

No its the restaurant before this one, he worked at Shiro's, which Shiro sold to the "I love Sushi" restaurants before he opened Kashiba
