Hardly true in Japan actually. In comparison to us in the US, Japanese sushi is cheaper for the same (or higher) quality simply because fish are plentier there whereas livestock is plentier for us. Likewise, I'd say their meat is more expensive simply bc you got less land there and land is a valuable resource.

Way to roast tasty

Splinks Tasty is owned by Buzzfeed, btw. Tasty follows the buzzfeed format because it's basically just one of buzzfeed's alt accounts. BA has no affiliation with buzzfeed, so they're most likely going to keep their own format.

[@chandlerwaugh]

dude is so overwhelmingly skilled!! its comforting to see the cintas towels in the process lol

[@Jeanne-kd1iw]

Amazing cutting skills! Love how clean he keeps his cutting board while cleaning fish. Great video. Good information.

[@yukirby3741]

I don't even eat sushi, why did I watch this? MESMERIZING

[@meek4109]

Why you not eating sushi? Do it over! Go buy sushi and rewatch the video. :P

[@honeyfli332]

Mee K Sushi is super gross 🤮🤮

[@bitchlasagna9954]

I dont even like fish and i just watched the whole video

[@JakesterJung]

damn i could listen to him all day

[@AurosOrion]

This is one of my favourite non-ASMR-video ASMR videos. It's just so weirdly soothing.

[@miruna268]

i keep coming back to this video just so i can hear his voice, my anxiety disappears when i hear him

[@tosht2515]

This is such an awesome series. @32:30 The transition from individual nigiri to whole fish to final plate was quite satisfying after such an entertaining video. Well done, BA. 👍

[@Mr6Sinner]

Tosh T Is your time stamp a typo? For me, the video is only 32:28 long

[@tosht2515]

+Uriah Siner 32:38 is the video length for me.

[@Mr6Sinner]

Tosh T Perhaps I just misread it, thanks

[@darlaizcoolest]

that part reminded me of wes anderson a little... so cool!

[@karmaQT]

anyone else feel like he was using the wrong knife for the first 13 mins

[@oon-huing1729]

"Sushi is just raw fish on rice. There's nothing difficult about it. They just slap it on. It's such a scam how it costs so much" Me: shoves this video in their face.

[@luisalis7372]

WHO EVER SAID THAT WHAT

[@jesterperez5152]

Being a sushi apprentice, i hate hearing that the most

[@soniccookie655]

Sushi doesn't even mean raw, that's the misconception I _hate_ (truly hate) most of all. Sashimi is what they're referring to. (Also do not make the mistake of thinking sushi _can't_ be raw because sashimi exists.)

[@aeh968]

WHO DARES DISS SUSHI

[@sophieh.b.9517]

Before people say that they should try making maki etc there are different types and for them to taste AND look good it takes more than just slapping

[@AudreysKitchen]

Beautiful food, chef. Thank you for sharing your passion with us and your guests. I love your approach and attitude towards sushi, and this video was beautifully made. Thank you again.

[@m.watanabe3]

He's amazing! I'm Japanese but didn't know some of fish he introduced until now. Thank you.

[@mickeythedogo703]

That guy's voice sounds so dead and satisfying I think something is telling me to give him my soul in the softest way possible and I'm not complaining

[@RadenWA]

How does it feel when you spend so much time learning how to identify and prepare many different fishes and yet people judge you first by how you make an omelette.

[@veggiedragon1000]

I guess it makes sense though. If a hypothetical bad sushi chef couldn't even make tamago, there's a good chance they couldn't prepare fish either, and obviously the fish nigiri are more expensive and difficult. Not to diss tamago, I learned how to make it myself recently and it definitely took a while to get the motion and cook time right.

[@RadenWA]

They are 2 entirely different preparation though. Making Tamago requires you to fry and roll things on a pan, while most fish just doesn't need to be fried at all. And the way to cut them both are also very different. So I still don't understand the correlation.

[@taketora6968]

If you don't have the patience and care to handle a damn egg omelet properly, how can I expect you to serve me something that could potentially make me very sick or kill me? Its a test.

[@RadenWA]

Tamago = frying skill. Sashimi = knife skill. Someone who can make the perfect tamago can still kill you with a blowfish. Enjoy.

[@matthewoconnor5690]

@@RadenWA many who prepare Fugu prepare nothing but Fugu. Few who prepare other sashimi ever prepare Fugu. It is science vs art in comparison. The Fugu chef is an engineer. The sushi chef is a designer. The preparation of an omelette as a gauge to how any chef handles the simplest of ingredients shows both art and science. It is comparable to how the NFL uses the Combine to rate draft picks. The evaluate the broken down, individual, basics of the thing. Hiro Ono makes his apprentices prove they can wash rice in cold water for years before they get to touch a fish. What does that have to do with knife work? Nothing. It proves commitment, attention to detail, respect for the ingredients, and appreciation. As does making a simple omelette.

[@ryandepauw]

I live in Portland and have never even heard of this Place! Totally gonna check them out now! So stoked!

[@Jharrisimages]

Super interesting to watch, I love sushi and am always interested in watching the process. Used to go, pretty regularly, to a place in San Diego when I was stationed there. And the "organized chaos" that happened behind the bar whenever they were doing service was always great to see.

[@s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n.i.c]

That is a tough process that require alot of skill and experience. Impressive.

[@barfingcoyote210]

I always have to sit where I can watch. I will let people be seated ahead of me, until I can have a seat at the bar . So I can watch.

[@s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n.i.c]

Barfing Coyote ....and how does that correlate with what I said?

[@Oh-ou4lp]

I will say this, that is really welled and cared for prep work for a meal, Impressive god damn right, can i have some:P

[@barfingcoyote210]

Correlate ??? Read it repeatedly , it fits perfectly with your statement about you admiring the efforts/artistery it takes to present this form of food processing.

[@s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n.i.c]

Barfing Coyote that’s how you mean it can easily be misinterpreted.

[@emelinabonilla5557]

I clicked for the video, I stayed for his voice

[@tina1061]

I clicked for the food 🤤

[@crow1155]

Nobody asked who your crush is

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.

[@jay2thamuah130]

Great job Cody, one of the most thorough I've seen on KZbin. Cheers 🥂

[@Saimyoshu]

TBH I never knew there was a such thing as a Fish Scaler. My fish scaling just got tons easier.

[@robertm4050]

Most of the larger Swiss Army knives came with a fish descaler. They have them at every Walmart or big box store for about $3 or less too. It is a pretty common tool that is around in the US for longer than I have been alive.

[@Willgtl]

A soup spoon is the quickest method I've ever tried. Scalers take more time and more precise controlling. With a spoon, you just get a good angle starting right under a row of scales and rake right across the fish. And I've never managed to damage the skin or meat with the spoon method.

[@axelpatrickb.pingol3228]

A wooden handle with bottle caps nailed to it serves that purpose well.

[@RonLarhz]

U don't live in asia do u?

[@WeAreSMC96]

what? how else would you scale a fish without a fish scaler tho??

[@eggy6857]

Got cold hands just by watching this video.

[@micahw83]

Right? His hands are so red.

[@brq99]

really weird, I actually hate sushi and yet somehow watched the whole thing

[@genijable]

So they are perfect to prepare sushi. Go try it

[@baniasmr1989]

i dont know why but its always satisfying to watch wood-mode kitchen. His voice also helped me to focus on the video

[@Amosmagee1]

Thank you for showing me all the techniques I think they’re amazing keep doing what you’re doing the tradition is alive

[@tengkualiff]

That thumbnail just screamed at me to click it lol.

[@zennamon2295]

Did they changed it? Because I remember it was really purple and colorful.

[@saraaldrich9321]

This man is incredibly knowledgeable and talented!!! He's so handsome and his voice is so calm...killer video tbh

[@keithproposturus]

Completely comprehensive preparation of each fish. I hope I get the opportunity to try this sushi some day

[@calebflores663]

i have watched this video 5 times, the handcrafted series is the only thing giving me a feeling of control

[@charlesphilips2045]

I'm not a sushi fan, but I enjoyed watching Cody Auger work his magic on those fish. There's something so fulfilling, when you watch a professional do their thing.

[@jp2dj1]

This one of the golden KZbin videos. Just perfect. Thank you for making this video.

[@Ilikeitlikethis]

Absolutely fantastic video. Very instructive. Thank you to everyone involved in making this.

[@mochiball6199]

I never finish watching KZbin videos this long but this one is an exception

[@Therachel23.]

Im soooooo into his knife skill, his tattoos and his clear voice when he speaks 💕💕💕🙈🙈

[@j4ys0n]

Looks like we have a fangirl 😂😂

[@pinkrainclouds2190]

I’m Hard of Hearing and usually need subtitles but I can understand him because he enunciates well and the music is super soft.

[@jeffgayzose8129]

Im sooooooo into that nigiri. It looks delicious. I love sushi and it's all I can think about right now thanks to this video
