London’s Best Japanese Restaurant?! | Sorted Food

[@creativemismatch4750]

Does it ever hit you that Mike, Barry and Jamie are literally famous for not knowing how to cook? And they keep their nerdy food friends James and Ben around to help with their homework.

If you hav enever had Wagy beef of any sort or Angus beef.. It is highly recomended as a burger! I love Wagyu beef burger.. And not that expansive. Get two patties for 7€(in spain) So it's not that expensive either and you kinda just need one burger... 2 is just OMG cant walk... hahaha. Also Black Wagyu is soo good. But the thing with the wagy burger. Yes it shrinks in size but it does get taller in the pan you see it just build up the melted fat insaid... ANd OMG... THAT IS A REAL ORGASM!!!

[@notwillchoi]

Andreas Løtveit Wagyu burgers don’t really make sense cause(if u were to go out of your way to grind your own meat for the patty), you’d be able to control the fat to meat ratio anyways. But if it works for you, I guess it works

[@Khazandar]

@@andreasltveit8580 Grinding up Wagyu makes zero sense, to me. You can get a meat grinder and make your own burgers with your own ratio. And save money.

[@SabertoothDeathmouse]

@@unbelievablescenes At what point did the comment convey originality? You don't have to be innovative to do well at a craft. World class symphony musicians in large part do not play original music, they play classical music. That in no way takes from their talent.

Wish I could just swing by the local sushi place to pick something up but their not even open. Now that I know I can’t get my favorite foods I’m suddenly craving them more often then I ever have before.

[@isiholliday3051]

Been living in japan 1.5 years (from the UK) and soooo excited to see how this series goes 😄 I am with Barry when he said “let’s go try some Japanese food now” as the restaurant they first went to (though I understand was fusion) the only part which to me was Japanese was the sake, as Japanese avoid spicy food typically and other items were more Korean or various other Asian style. Saying that the food did look delicious and that’s the main part of food 😊 Last thing I will add, lots of Japan isn’t scared of fusion food and embrace it. Ramen was from China, Salmon came from Norway, and more have become quintessential parts of Japanese diet (肉じゃが Nikkujaga is basically stovies 😂) . 頑張ってください(good luck)

[@davidkwong4111]

Another great episode guys. The only thing that gave me pause was calling that 2nd restaurant, Chisou, an authentic Japanese restaurant. The menu looked more indicative of an American-style Japanese restaurant with its California rolls and spicy tuna rolls and mayo on a sushi log. Even the mochi ice cream is pushing it (actually invented in USA) though I admit it is becoming generally ubiquitous. Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy that style of food, but its a distant cry from the real thing where the emphasis would be on nigiri, sashimi, and keeping it deceptively simple. No chef who has gone through legit itamae training would've served those dishes unless he was very angry at his teachers. Anyhoo, as a Japanese food fanatic, I had to say something. Looking forward to the followup. Gochisoosamadesu!

You always seem to go for sushi/sashimi when you highlight japanese food. Why not doing some basic meals with grilled fish, natto, yakisoba, udon, hot pots, etc? It'd be nice to see your take on everyday japanese food that people could afford to make and might be more appealing to people who don't like raw fish.

If you have connections in the indrustry and the skill set to match then no.
