I appreciate the way you clearly explain things, very helpful! great videos!

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@ra1der5]

I’m thoroughly enjoying your vids. THANK YOU! I’ve been eating more and more nigiri sushi. It’s simple, delicate, and not overwhelming with too many flavors. I only wish nigiri was smaller. It’s considered rude to bite it in half, but cramming the whole thing in my mouth is much more than just a bite. Hence; I’m here learning… and had no clue there was a little air pocket in the rice ball. How delicate!

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks and glad you're enjoying my channel! Nigiri can differ in size tremendously depending on the chef/restaurant and don't feel bad if its too big to eat in one bite. So many places will make them huge because customers complain that it's too small (not getting their money's worth). But if you go to a more traditional, upscale sushi restaurant, the chef(s) should make it the "correct" size, especially if you're sitting at the bar in front of them.

[@TheSushiMan]

Glad the video was helpful and thank you for watching!

[@JJMR3000]

Reaaaaaaly detailed tutorial, thanks man. I'm practising making all kinds of "Zushi" everyday. Want to work in a sushi restaurant one day.

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks JMR and hope the video is helpful! Just keep practicing and I'm sure you'll be working at a sushi bar in no time. And let me know if there's a topic you would like me to cover in future videos.

[@stefilane]

This video makes me so hungry! Yay. Thanks for teaching us.

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks Stefi! More videos will be coming soon!

[@zilliq]

Thank you so much, very informative ! Is the fish cutting video still planned ?

[@TheSushiMan]

Glad you found the video helpful! And yes, it's still on the list but I haven't gotten around to making it yet.

[@matthewandersonsgmaniak6686]

Great video! Would love to see one on how you prepare fish for nigiri also.

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Jockstrap716]

That was fantastic!!!!

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks for the positive comment!

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Good video. I used to use tezu but I switched to surgical style kitchen gloves and I prefer it. My style is also kotegaeshi, but for certain things that don’t flip sideways as well as I’d like such as tamago I use tategaeshi for those. My favorite nigiri to make is salmon nigiri and my favorite nigiri to eat is tsuke maguro 漬けまぐろの握り

[@TheSushiMan]

Awesome and thanks for the input!

[@IslenoGutierrez]

@@TheSushiMan Absolutely! Keep up the great videos!

[@squeally]

Awesome as the others! As for other content, how did you tempura the shrimp in the first video and keep it so straight? Actually, something on tempura in general would be awesome, the batter, oil, technique, etc. Also, how and where do you get your fish. Which kinds do you use use, what do you look for, and ask for, when buying.

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks Neil! The tempura I used in the How To Roll Sushi video actually comes frozen like that. But I can go over how to make it from scratch and also cover basics on tempura in a future video. And I'm working on some new videos that will go over how, where, and what to look for when buying fish so be sure to stay tuned!

[@davescheer5038]

You explain the process and one of the things I still trying to grasp is the size of the fish cuts , a lot of Japanese tutorials show what seems to me a large cut of fish for the size of the rice , which confuses me as Japanese culture teaches balance ,wouldn’t a large piece of fish flavor wise over power the flavor of the rice 🤔 I’m old but have yet so much to learn !

[@TheSushiMan]

Yes, balance is everything however there are many restaurants/chefs that will make the fish much larger more so to promote business. Larger slices of fish means "more bang for your buck" and can draw attention. Getting the "right" balance between the rice and fish is definitely tricky and does take a lot of practice.

[@elifeldman5278]

Hi! Great video! Can you make a video on how to make sushi sandwiches?

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks Elifeldman! Sushi sandwiches would be a fun video to make, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

[@genesiuskristianto9063]

Thank you very much for your contents. It is really helpful. Btw, can you teach us how to cut the fish with proper way? Thanks

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks Genesius! And yes, I'll be making a video on how to cut fish for different types of sushi in the near future, so stay tuned!

[@cincinnatcable]

Thank you for your videos, great lessons (and a joy in itself is hearing the proper Japanese). Am I correct thinking that the fish slices are serrated to create a criss cross pattern?

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks for the positive comment Varvara! Yes, the hamachi in this video is serrated just diagonally but you can criss cross the pattern as well. It just depends on what type of fish and what part of the fish you're using. I'll be making a video on how to cut fish for nigiri soon so stay tuned!

[@TheMrdangles16]

Giraffe needs more videos

[@haha-pt6dt]

Can you teach how to kasturamuki daikon?

[@TheSushiMan]

That would be a great video in the future, thanks!

[@old-greg]

How would you prep red snapper for sushi. Do i need to salt and soak it in the rice vinegar

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Greg, there's a few different ways you can prepare red snapper (tai) or sea bream. The simplest way obviously is to leave it as is, nothing wrong with this and it can taste amazing as long as the fish is fresh. Another method is called "kobujime", which is when you lightly salt it and wrap it with Japanese kelp (konbu). And one other common way is called "yubiki", this is when you pour boiling water onto the skin side of the fillet. Then you immediately dunk it in an ice bath to stop further cooking. Sorry if that was too much info.. I don't have any videos on this yet but might be a fun one to do in the future. Hope that helps!

[@old-greg]

@TheSushiMan thank you I will try some of the ways you suggested

[@AquariusPonder]

Can you make hot pot?

[@TheSushiMan]

I love hot pot! Might be a good video in the future :)

[@denizcankaya8277]

Thank you so much Chefin! But It would be better without background music :)

[@TheSushiMan]

Thanks for the feedback Deniz!

[@Anamoly_]

It looks good but then the happy Scrappy playtime music came on

[@viettranquoc3027]

Is there any one knows the type of the knife?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hi Viet, the knife I use in this video is a Masamoto VG Series Sujihiki. You can check out all my knife recommendations if you visit www.UltimateSushiKit.com.

[@seattlehoon6616]

Also, you touch too much fish.

[@seattlehoon6616]

Your explanation of sushi is good. However, the completeness is poor. I hope we can make it prettier.

[@kittenmimi5326]

Whats completeness???

[@bilbosaggins4865]

Please show us the proper way to make nigiri. I’ll be waiting for your video tutorial.

[@kirangurung2207]

World no1 bad food🤔🤧

[@markgarcia2790]

To much Handling of the fish

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Too* much handling* ...

[@bilbosaggins4865]

Maybe you should let Nobu and Jiro know they handle the fish too much as well.
