Master Yakitori Chef Shigetoshi Narita is using Mexican Flavors in His Grilled Meat - Omakase

[@julianrivas1224]

This was beautiful. As someone who loves east Asian cultures, I always hope that my roots as Mexican can be appreciated by everyone but specifically them because I feel a lot of the culinary culture is similar. It makes me feel good to hear a Japanese chef speak so knowledgeably of Mexican cuisine.

I do admire how Japanese like to eat most of things in its natural state or flavor. Not heavy flavoring to musk it. The profound ways they use the minimalist seasoning to create something is amazing.

Love to see Mexico City really beginning to cement itself as a food capital of the world. So many folks of different cultures come there to prepare dishes at an incredibly high standard. Have a lot of family in el DF, will have to visit Hiyoko when I am back in town.

[@tosht2515]

Last year the 12 course omakase at Hiyoko cost $50.00 USD. That's a great price for what appears to be high quality, well prepared dishes. 👍

In a sense Mexico and Japan do have some things in common so it's understandable when it comes to food.

[@valcan321]

The Japanese are taught self reflection. Americans and other western countries are taught specifically not to apply critical thinking to their actions or thoughts....critical thinking means you don't do as the herd does all the time. Bad for politicians, bad for those in power ya know.

[@comprendersi1444]

Deep reflection and relationships/ meaning are center of practice in Buddhism (I can only speak on Buddhism cause I’m Buddhist) and I know that Japan has a deep connection in academia and religion with Buddhism. So that might also play a part in it

This actually looks good. Yakitori is hard to make look glamorous. It's easy to go, "those are just skewers!", but good Yakitori can be amazing when the combination of thought-out ingredients, skilful preparation, and chef creativity and experience combine perfectly. That said, the tapioca tostada is definitely creative, but I'm not sure I saw too much else that was really different or inspired by Mexico. And that rice pot at the end, wth XD. But, overall, it looks good. This video hasn't inspired me to take the long trip to Mexico City. But maybe I'll hit up a local Japanese skewer spot.

[@OfficialTigerino]

Cyrribrae really? The tapioca was the only thing you recognized with Mexican influence? Not the section of the mole miso and corn that the chef clearly explained? Not even the use of non traditional Japanese ingredients like avocado, zucchini, Parmesan cheese or lamb chops?

Ask a New Yorker where to find a casual spot that is authentic and reasonably priced to slurp down a bowl of piping hot wonton noodle soup in Manhattan these days and there is a great chance you will be pointed to "Noodle Village". Set in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown, this place dishes up comfort food to those who grew up eating Cantonese/Hong Kong style cuisine - a cuisine that focuses on harmonizing the flavors of the primary ingredients through a well balanced and non-greasy preparation and the minimization of spices and sauces.
