how to cut tuna for sushi sashimi

[@MrAlohaWildMan]

Disregard the negative comments. I am impressed, especially with the reverse "chopping" and spooning technique. Nothing wasted. Excellent job.

[@7046463]

this chief is very generous with the skill & knowledge. he must have a big heart. even my japanese chief friends wouldn't share the knowledge of cutting details of parts with me. the part of the fish makes a big different when you cook it n place in your mouth. Domo arigato.

[@Zots5916]

I want to be a cook when i am out of school and its nice to see someone else work always fascinating

[@aewe7120]

I totally agree with you Michael Hill, holding the knife your way is call the control grip. That means you are in total control of the knife.

[@nvasconcelos1]

I really enjoyed the video. Congrats. Which knife is using?

[@truvak]

that is a great knife, and in the hands of an expert looks even cooler. great video.

[@SuperK9111]

@kizuna kitchen.... is albacore tuna good for sushi as well ? liked you video.. i love sushi and peanut butter cups !

[@ISeeDeadPets]

Gawd, looks like cutting butter. Looks so smooth and yummy.

[@sconnyjoe5262]

I'd gladly exchange parts of my anatomy for that loin. Holy crap that looks incredible. Thank you for show. It's greatly appreciated.

[@loft4me]

Here in Downtown Los Angeles, specifically in Little Tokyo, there are a couple of small markets that sell sashimi - grade tuna. But what I just saw in this clip, the markets have nothiing this fresh. It must be so tender, that the consistency is almost like tofu. When I buy a small slab of sasimi tuna, I like to put wasabi and soy sauce on it. If I ever go to Japan and do that, I think I will be frowned upon, big time.

[@NeillWylie]

Look at those lovely clean cuts.

[@jameshalleluyah8133]

Why do I torture myself with these videos!

[@kikocara90]

that knife is a dream of every chef!!!

[@RelatedGiraffe]

What were the dishes you said you could make with the tuna you scraped off of the skin? I have some thin slices of salmon that were left over from when I made sashimi the other day and I want to make something from them. Nice tuna cutting skills btw.

[@jonnachang]

Nice skills Chef! What brand gyuto are you using? Thanks.

[@captainkev10]

This looks so satisfying.

[@kchandra3419]

That knife slid right through like butter

[@MiguelDuboisSwarm]

That looks delicious ^w^

[@whooterNG]

What kind of knife is that? Tojiro? Looks very sharp...

[@linthong123]

@relatedgiraffe you could make hand rolls with spiring onions and any type maki

[@brianj5271]

those are really clean cuts

[@PinkAqua_]

Just look at that color. Fresh!

[@adairpereiradias2937]

Parabéns Chef !.. Que Peixe é esse ? Apresentação Excelente !

[@DaniBigBani]

Atum...

[@pranythaidining]

Thank you very much to share this now i can learn .. how to filet tuna..so cool.. PJ,

[@paulfaruco4917]

Great video !!!! thanks !

[@linthong123]

Glad you were inspired!

[@ADSplay101]

Man that is some good looking Tuna

[@RelatedGiraffe]

Is this tuna prepared in some way or is it totally raw? Looks great, as every fish cut in sushi pieces does ^_^

[@nikkipeachiechin]

if this doesnt make you drool something wrong witchu

[@Fantic1980]

Oh my god, that is amazing stuff. And that knife ...

[@ImXs1p3r]

omg i want that knife where did you guys buy it ?

[@Foolkat101]

that knife cuts through the tuna like butterrr

[@MrJizzy181]

Not really. He is sawing with it. So the knife is to dull. Also the edges of his cuts are very unpleasant looking.

[@pogisiG]

hell yeah brother!! gotta live life to the fullest and eat good

[@Kniteknite23A]

I wonder what knife He is using? looks very good . the whole process . Domo arigato !

[@Skorzeny18]

Kniteknite23A It looks like a Masahiro gyuto to me, maybe a Masamoto or a Saito, couldn't tell whitout looking at the logo haha

[@0neHundredPercent]

i feel like getting that huge tuna piece and make a big bite out of it :D yum!

[@NamgyalYAKZSTUDIO]

Thank you chef 👍

[@Buckl]

Very interesting, I enjoyed watching.

[@M3RCxNationHQ]

Does fresh tuna normally look that rough/dry?

[@Silverjda]

M3RCxNationHQ That's not dry at all, all tuna has that dull translucent look.

[@Piterszczyk]

I don't see too many scars on this chef's hands. Also for as long as the vid has lasted, I have not seen him getting cut a single time. The fact that with your skills you would gamble and risk injuries if holding a knife like that does not mean that somebody else cannot master this skill, greatly reducing the risk and gaining some advantages over the "safe" methods. Better safe than sorry, but practice makes perfect. Keep your mind open, take care

[@chasinhail]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@buddygreen01]

Man that tuna looks so dam good

[@nothadnotbad]

great video! thank you!

[@DankGenesis]

wow that knife is sharp

[@PURPLELIou]

not sharp enough.....in sushi making its crucial for your knife to be so sharp the meat wont tear when you cut into it. but if you are to look at the video u can see he has to saw the knife back and forth there for tearing the flesh during the process.

[@mrhard2000uk]

PURPLELIou stfu you moron

[@RedHmong]

PURPLELIou LOL It's all about good judgment when to slice in one motion or to saw I Saw a lot when cutting some part of the tuna to make clean cut it doesn't tear it up.

[@DankGenesis]

zero00tolerance lmao

[@mrhard2000uk]

zero00tolerance your trying to hit on someone saying you have a 'sharp' penis(?) and then tag it with family guy humour...way to go kid.

[@jswanza]

How do you intend to get such a large chunk of salmon?

[@iHasAbucket0246]

mmmmm i see i like the end when he uses the spoon on the skin never seen that but its good for making a nice tartar

[@MrMKH2010]

Yes. I am a trained cook, and that is the proper way to hold any knife in the kitchen.

[@gildrop]

man this is neat!

[@brosephbroski7563]

I swear I wouldn't even bother cutting it up I just want to take the whole thing and eat it like that.

[@cheeseballdino]

what were to names of the dishes he was mentioning for all the cutts? the only one i was able to make out was sashimi. thanks!

[@Kidiu]

Ben Dover Onigiri and sashimi.

[@yeaman992]

+Kidiu He said nigiri.

[@zsollose]

Nice but please whip of your knife more. A dirty knife is not the way we work. Love your videos

[@A-Monkman]

I always whip of my knife, whipping my knife is so cool!

[@snipaa96]

nice vid. i went to school for pastry and decided 6 months ago i want to do sushi. now i get 120000 vs 70000 a year

[@roan33]

I just want to NOM the shit out of that slab.

[@miatageekscott]

Same here

[@filaptv]

I'd just rip out a chunk of the whole piece with my teeth.

[@DominatorIsrael]

YES!! TWO FINGER SIZE!

[@amphibiandingoman9361]

I wanna keep my room cold enough where I can use that as a pillow.

[@6koko3]

This tuna is premium quality

[@5440bubb]

premium is good in a samwich with wonder bread

[@scoand5652]

[@almonanorm6811]

[@qiskasei3656]

Thank u cheff

[@afrozazaman2881]

Wonder how much that initial chunk of tuna cost

[@jimmy.christian]

All I can say is: YUMMY!

[@KaijuFenrir]

TIL how big tuna could be. Holy shit. I don't go near fish, but I've started becoming braver with sushi. I like spicy tuna rolls. I.. god damn. That is huge.

[@streetwarrior31]

its like cutting butter...what a good tuna

[@twenty5charlie]

two fingasize! this is gotta be Mr. Miyagi of Sushi

[@dehadista2006]

Hi Kizuna and chef Lin, I added you in my facebook, I wonder where is your restaurant? You look like you have a happy kitchen team there, I wish i could join you there. I am a chef here in London, but I always wanted to work in an oriental theme restaurant with head chef like Linsan.

[@VaylorCruz]

I now have an urge to do everything in life with extreme precision and perfection ._.

[@truthseeker1328]

Break out the wasabi and soy sauce, I'm getting hungry.

[@BrosephKim]

sir i dont think you get the nature of comment... and trust me.. i think about it a lot and chuckle every single time.

[@ryanbeck1338]

i always wanted to learn how to butcher a whole tuna loin!

[@wiithreesixty]

do you think they would get mad if I took a big bite out of the chunk of tuna in the beginning? It's so tempting

[@chie1709]

I was kind-of waiting for the camera man to go "and what happens when you cut di kwan?" LoL! Filipinos, represent!

[@RelatedGiraffe]

Okay, thanks!

[@juffurey]

they hold it differently for different uses. i'm sure european cooks do the same thing.

[@SanaSamaha]

That tuna is huge!

[@mikeplaysit]

KittyOnTheNet Them suckers get bigger. Check out some videos of people catching the larger tuna that are used for making sushi. Them things are CRAZY big.

[@pogisiG]

shoyu + wasabi + a case of beer = happiness

[@Anessa64222]

Around 4:40-4:50 he does hold the knife that way, but Sakura Ki is right

[@hlcrealestate8772]

น่าทานมากๆครับ@!!

[@Creeshee]

my mouth is watering as i watch this

[@iamthechanceman]

Jesus, wonder how many times you've filleted yourself with those knives! Those things just have to be this side of splitting molecules sharp.

[@SwitchModeMutations]

I hold my knife and cut exactly the same way. A chef I worked with for a year hated my technique, it bothered him so much that I put my finger down the spine of the knife for extra control : )

[@dantebezze]

+J Glad you need absolute control when making sashimi, its a great technique for fish!

[@SwitchModeMutations]

I fillet a dozen fresh water fishes at a time, inspecting for both fatty content and parasites.. I am not sure if you understand the uncooked principle of enzyme saturation of that which we eat but.... half of the year we are not ice locked here and I welcome you and your techniques.

[@abonynge]

Finger along the spine grants more pressure but on most knives gripping it with your index and thumb above the handle on the base of the blade should grant more control than any other grip.

[@williamellert]

what the fuck are you doing my man?

[@lovory]

Wow Good!

[@connormfreeman7822]

this made me very hungry!

[@hm6219]

i would say they have very different philosophy of making food and fish especially

[@reybalmaind]

Complimenti Per l'igiene

[@Vincentiuz]

Dat precision

[@Squadron007]

Nice red tuna :p

[@BenChung78]

The price killed my craving for purple meat fish!

[@Dano5ish]

i'm scared of your knife! i'll have one that sharp one day but gonna practice a bit more first :)

[@jinhuizhang4568]

thank you chief。

[@linthong123]

The European way of holding the knife and the Japanese way of holding the knife is very different.

[@juffurey]

have you ever been trained on how to prepare sushi?

[@mskitchenbd2546]

Nice
