I absolutely love the novel way that you open your videos, with a picture by picture outline of what you make!🤯❤️👍

[@kathyq5812]

I made today following your receipt, and it was the best sushi roll I ever made. Thanks for the receipt.

[@anniecrawford5911]

Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. To visually see what you are doing truly help. I can always freeze frame or repeat if necessary. I hope to achieve the same results as you have shown. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, culture and passion for cooking. May you be blessed with happiness. 💐

[@ratlips4363]

As many times that I have made sushi rice, this is the first time I have seen someone "massage" the rice the way you have. It makes lots of sense. Thank you for the lesson

[@conniebellevaliente4522]

I like it when you give us alternative on everything you explained. At least we have an idea because sometimes we don't have that in our country ☺️ Its very informative. Because i love Japanese culture. Thanks

I LOVE learning new cultures, and finally, how to make Sushi Rice!. I really like how you add the little details of cooking that everyone I’ve seen on YT leave out. It’s the little details that make an excellent presentation. Now, time to visit your other Japanese cooking shows. LOVE from Canada.

Thank you for your specific instructions. I do make sushi rice, but I will be a little more diligent about it from now on. Thank you very much.

[@winwoofie5360]

[@ChristianJew1]

On days where there’s wind, I open my kitchen window, set the bowl on the window seal and let the air cool my rice! Works pretty well

M definitely going to try this now its looks so delicious my mouth literally melting yum yum❤❤❤❤

[@PaulMenden5659]

Americans, be careful: Your brown sugar and German brown sugar (which this is) is not the same thing! American brown sugar is normal white sugar mixed with molasses. This gives it a different taste than German brown sugar which is white sugar but just cleaned a bit less thoroughly. It does also taste just slightly different to white sugar, but I'd recommend to just use white sugar instead of American brown sugar.

[@francesjones9644]

What an excellent, informative video. I am just starting to make sushi and your video has given me the confidence to do it. Many thanks indeed. (From England)

I really liked the way you washed the rice😁😁😁 The word "Unfortunately, I have two hands " hahaha

[@nirmalajayasena8536]

Sushi rice cooking is similar to our sri Lankan cooking method. Thank you so much!

[@cuicui77yu]

I like Japanese food and culture, I learn most from anime though. I learn a little bit of Japanese myself. 先日は納豆を初めて食べた、美味しいです。I wasn't so sure before I tried it since I heard so many negatives about the taste, but I like it surprisingly.

[@pol...]

I love Nattou, too. Especially with mustard

[@milacaibal3976]

Thank you for sharing your recipe for Sushi rice. We love Sushi all the time but I cannot make the right way of making it. Now, I can make it right. Yummy Sushi for my family. Take care and more yummy Japanese cooking to share. 🥰💖🙏

Hi Taiji Thank you

[@mangalover4114]

I am an Indian and getting the right type of rice was a question I faced trouble with. Thanks for clearing it. I just love sushi but can't make it. It's just a tragedy. Thank again sir

[@OperaTidhar]

May that be your very worst problem 😃

[@deborahamy1225]

I am so happy to have found your channel!!! I love every recipe so far that I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and techniques! I am so grateful!! I do have a question, I have noticed that sugar is used in many recipes, I was just wondering if that is for a reason or just tastes. I can’t eat a lot of sugar , it hurts my stomach. Is there an alternative or can it be omitted. I don’t want to change the way it is done, however maybe there can be a happy medium so I can continue to eat the foods I love. Any info would be most helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you and blessings to you and yours!👏👏👏❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@bemberg11]

„Apfelessig naturtrüb“ and „Bad Reichenhaller AlpenJodSalz“ tastes very good, especially in Japan 😊

[@ronaldo77782]

The rice came out amazing,thank so much for sharing 😋

[@taijiskitchen]

My pleasure 😊

[@Useruser11306]

Thank you show how to do tradition Janpanese food,and most important finally I can find all brand here. Are you also live in Germany?

[@tushartoprani1337]

Hey...did little bit of rice git stuck / burnt at the bottom of the pan? Wouldn't it give a smell to the rice?

[@heidyreyes8640]

hi... just asking.... apple vinegar n apple cider vinegar are the same? tyvm

[@dorisleyba5962]

What type of rice is best, I notice your rice is a bit rounder than basic white rice? Also the sugar is it Brown [which contains straight molasses or Turbinado lite molasses?

[@mzaree3821]

I've been buying Kokuho Rose rice for over 40 years, usually a 15 lb. bag . Lately I've noticed with the last 2 bags when there is about 2 pounds of rice left in the bag there is gray, powdery rice at the bottom of the bag. Is this normal? Like I've said, I never noticed it before. Please let me know what it is, if you have any idea.

[@BearGrillzz]

I’ve been following this video for a couple hours now making the rice. My favorite part was at 9:53 when you said “alright let’s start making the rice” Im hoping at this point it’s almost ready!!

[@gregcyrus2739]

Astrein 👍🏼 kommt in allen Sushi Videos viel zu kurz. Welchen Durchmesser hat die Holzschüssel?

[@hanaenour2530]

Hey chef why you put combo with rise??

[@chooiminloh40]

I thought I know everything there is to know about rice cooking 🤔 Now I know one always keep learning in life. Arigkato

[@taijiskitchen]

i am still learning too, we are in it together! Dou itashi mashite!!

[@jaymor2918]

So when you say brown sugar is that sugar with molasses or raw course sugar

[@iulioh]

Smallish correction Volumetric rice density is 0.8 so using the same volume of water you are in fact doing a 1:1.2 ratio in weight

[@aschmi-mu9110]

Das ist das dritte deiner Videos, das ich mir angesehen habe. Schon beim ersten Video war ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass das eine deutsche Küche ist und du genauso englisch sprichst wie ich. (Zweites Video war die home tour bei deinen Eltern in Japan. Auch sehr interessant) Jetzt hat der Apfelessig meine Vermutung bestätigt. 😄 Wie lange hält sich der Reis?

[@taijiskitchen]

hahaha, hast du gut geraten! ja ich wohne momentan in Stuttgart. der Reis hält nicht lang, höchstens ein tag.

[@eka1309]

Hi, what is the vinegar use for ?

[@siboy.siboys3118]

You said this rice is for 3-4 people? This is for 1 person here in Kenya. Good work.

Can use apple cider vinegar?

[@karenslater7469]

Hi Taiji....I am just starting out on my sushi making journey with my 10year old Granddaughter who loves sushi. I have just made the sushi rice following your recipe.....how long does it keep for....is it ok to prepare the rice the day before as I am hoping to make the sushi with my Granddaughter tomorrow. Thanks xx
