*Thumbs up if you think chef Masa knew and succeeded in the assignment! 🫡🌶️🔥*

My parents said if i get 100k followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording. begging u guys, literally Begging.😮❤🎉

[@ProfessorNormal-EU]

Wow chef Masa, to be served by him would be a dream come through 👍

[@camillealatorre9817]

Felicitaciones al chef! Arriba el habanero ❤

[@Yocumonsters]

He seems so cool

[@TASMATITOTAHITI]

I love how chef Masa waits for and lights up anytime the spice messes aunty Esther up😂😂😂

[@exDivinityFPS]

You can see in his eyes how much he adores her reaction to his cuisine. This whole video was so wholesome.

[@TASMATITOTAHITI]

@@exDivinityFPS yes! Exactly

[@nono-yd8ij]

masa's knife skill is insane

[@mid-sizesedan488]

He's so elegant

[@marlinlaifoo3111]

He was trained old school. To become a true sushi chef takes years something like 10 years

[@ashofaphoenix]

For people with no context, Masa's restaurant is the only Michelin 3 star sushi omakase in North America and probably the most expensive sushi restaurant on the continent. It costs a 1000$ to eat there.

[@HevaNaisdey]

Such pretentious pricing

[@Eat_My_Brick]

@@HevaNaisdey well if the demand is that high then their prices can be whatever they want right?

[@gino7460]

[@seanhart9706]

Waste of money! Make it yourself and dont add so much spice that it makes you cringe! Ppl will overpay for anything these days

[@Teiresias911]

Heat Eaters has quickly become one of my favorite FWF series, and Esther can REALLY take the spice! GG!

[@DCYTB]

I love chef Masa so much. I wish he had his own show.

[@AwesomeFish12]

He comes across as a genuinely great guy.

[@loztandfound2708]

Chef Masa is amazing! Truly takes joy in feeding other people, and look at his cheeky smile when they react to the heat! An absolute treasure!

[@tylermoore1748]

Chef Masa is awesome. I love how much joy he takes in everyone's reactions. What a legend.

[@ClassyJohn]

Chef Masa delivered! Also, my personal philosophy about spicy tuna (and any other roll / sushi that involves adding a bunch of other ingredients to flavor the fish) is that you don't need the best quality fish. It is a versatile dish because if you really think about what aspects of the fish meat quality degrade the lower quality you get, its stuff like the flavor and the texture. With spicy tuna, its standard to mince it up and add a lot of sauce to it. I would even dare to say that cutting small chunks (similar preparation to Hawaiian Poke style) could work with a lower quality tuna. However, if you have a beautiful tuna, don't ruin it with all of these condiments. Quality ingredients deserve to stand out and the best way to do that is by keeping it simple.

[@markogronfors3826]

Chef Masa at his best and Esther in her element. Absolutely must-see entertainment at its best

[@patreekotime4578]

What a breathe of fresh aire to hear people talk about sushi and not be super gatekeepy about it. Expecially someone like Masa literally at the top of the industry. Really awesome.

[@nicolecourtney8688]

This was one of the best episodes yet, they're all great but chef Masa was so genuine ❤️

[@shanglang133]

That sadistic laugh the chef has was hilarious. It was like he was trying to get a reaction and she kept trying to pretend like she wasn't reacting but then he really ramped up the heat and she couldn't resist. That was great. Hahahaha.

[@Torsin2000]

Masa's is a great experience. That's a $950/person experience, probably more for Masa himself, as opposed to their dining room at $750/person.

For that money I'd rather do 1000 other things to be honest.

[@יעקבמישקה]

Wow 950 dollar a dinner? Thats crazy

[@waynegrieco9752]

Chef is having fun watching her eat his spicy curry dish.

[@sonicgrub]

Esther Choi's name should be in the title/banner. She's a gift to KZbin and it's viewers. She's smart, funny and the right amount of energy. Great personality.

[@plasticwrap]

This is Heat Eaters elevated

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I love this series so much

[@absolutepower7968]

That laugh from Chef Masa is so wholesome. You gotta like the man!

[@christianalbano1232]

I wish Takayama San was my grandpa! What an amazing humble man. Love this episode! Definitely making the trip down from Boston to go to Masa!

[@dwads13]

If Chef Masa could make Esther buckle from the curry, we stand no chance...😂 Glad to see Esther can get curry heat on by Chef Masa! 👏👏👏

[@franciscoalindogan]

Chef Masa is hilarious

[@rmoorefla]

From Flushing to Masa, gotta love Esther, she's the best!

[@chousan1024]

it is awesome seeing Esther make it so big, go RU!

[@SugaKookie7b]

That chef was so wonderful!

[@ThePrevo02]

I'm a fan of the heat eaters series. Esther just brings it home. Keep it up!!

[@JohnKooz]

Masa was great to see, but I actually valued Esther Choi's investigation of the origin spicy tuna roll itself, the most. Esther is very engaging. She's a great host/narrator for episodes like this. Thanks for an interesting food episode where I learned that Esther is definitely someone I want to see her lead shows like these more. Well done!😀

[@JWH534]

Such a calm and wholesome episode. Love it

[@ashtonmendez9366]

The spiciness in each episode levels up

[@hendrixj.8356]

Yooo this is my favorite food show on KZbin Esther and Bill are so great. I love the way Esther shares these moments with us, when I’m feeling down this show helps bring me up

[@USSOBRIEN]

Things like this makes me nostalgic from when I was an E-5 stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. Man, man, man. Those were the days.

[@stelliocantos4639]

That spicy tuna roll was just so beautiful with every layer. So colorful and interesting. I'd love to try it. Even though spicy is less my jam, it looked so good, I'd try it anyway. And I'd probably try it a few more times to be sure lol. Def gimme that curry though. Spice gets a pass with me if it's curry.

[@amandawilson-d5l]

I am loving this new spin off w Esther!!! Keep bringing the heat, lady!!!!😊

[@valmid5069]

Cant wait for more awesome content from this channel!

[@gino7460]

I normally watch youtube videos as background noise. But whenever I click on a Heat Eaters video, I pay 100% full attention. Please don't let the Buzzfeed acquisition ruin the quality. Hoping to see more Heat Eaters!

[@brentfry5540]

I want that tuna roll with fresh habanero so badly. That sounds wonderful.

[@cruzrmcc]

That joke was top tier 😂😂

[@robr5703]

chef masa seems like such a sweetheart lol

[@RuthLera]

This was a great episode. Thank you .

[@jamessargent8606]

i would soooo very much enjoy working for/with chef masa for a while. Not only for his cooking, but for the way he is.

[@joea5810]

Who is more fun than Esther? Talented, creative, professional, dedicated. Simply lovely. Perfect First We Feast Host!!!

[@kylehiggins3216]

What a lovely man, Chef Masa is and you are such a gracious and appreciative guest! Wonderful experience! I'm home sick in bed with nasty Covid, bet a spicy tuna roll would knock it right out!

[@rbo350]

I am a Sansei, and I love the give and take you had with Chef, mixed with respect

[@ZESPI_]

I love heat eaters ❤

[@gamby16a]

Masa truly enjoys his craft and it's a joy to witness. Impressive that he embraces change so enthusiastically. Awesome segment.

Not my usual you tube fare. I have to admit though, I'm totally hooked, such great content. Thank you Esther!

[@SteveJustice-le7od]

Great job. Love, spicy, tuna, roll, or a spicy tuna hand roll.

[@popadjcassie]

Esther is a Spice BEAST

[@jellis7042]

It's funny to see Chef Masa laugh at people that are suffering from his spice, haha. Would love to try his version of spicy tuna

[@fhertlein]

I'm also mad wasabi all the time. I steal everybody's wasabi if they aren't using it. You two ladies were a joy to watch having a good time. I'm jealous of that Master sushi presentation, especially that spicy tuna roll with those peppers. Where can I get that curry? My mouth is watering. Masa is a great character for an episode like this.

[@kaemccorkle]

How have I never watched these episodes! Spicy food + sushi 😅🎉

[@H8_M3]

Chef Masa succeeded. I would like to try too.

[@camillealatorre9817]

"holy chef" ❤ habanero también

[@theElrin]

The funny thing about the pop references, eating sushi. I never observed having grown up in the 80s. I started loving sushi in the 80s of my own volition because I love textures and tastes, and the spicy tuna and spicy salmon became that extra bit of umami Vava Voom that I enjoyed.

[@MegaCharger9]

What a great video, It’s always a true pleasure to see a master chef share their knowledge of how they make their dishes………❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@AndrewKimster]

Chef Masa is a legend

[@3goodtimes3]

I love ur series, Ester. I love sushi also. U keep topping ur last episode. Keep em coming. Thanks.

Spicy tuna rolls? Count me in ! Extra wasabi and soy sauce on the side please.

[@TheRAMBO9191]

Watch your heart. Cholesterol out the roof

[@jasonchung4968]

Love how the spice almost made Esther go cross-eyed 🤣

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I kind of wanted them to buy the fresh wasabi in the store and a grater and hand grate it for their supermarket sushi. We got the fresh wasabi shot in the end though. Such a charming video from the host and the guest chef side. It does seem only right that someone else join her in eating the spicy ones that will mess her up.

[@keithbrown9198]

Auntie Esther in da house, fiuohhhh! I like the way Masa has adapted to the American palate in some instances, and even challenged her successfully with the spice, which is not typical in Japan, though they do have some, e.g. togorashi. And he was verry gracious. Great episode! And cameraman Bill, what can I say? I wanna party with that guy some day...

[@MariKurisato]

The wasabi joke killed me.

[@cwg73160]

You need to get a sense of humor.

[@AwesomeFish12]

It was funny because of how lame it was.

[@brandonlantier]

Its Bill, what else would you expect?

[@markalvarez1571]

Love both these chefs! One from iron chef and the other from Anthony Bourdain’s parts unknown!

[@erikadowdy2382]

Chef Masa is such a delightful man🥰Very charming, and the food looked really good too 😊

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

gonna do that spicy tuna roll style from chef Masa

[@kapnkarhoonch5497]

My first sushi experience was Japanese Steak House in Columbus Ohio when I was about 13 and it was life changing.

[@flybirdsfly2091]

Good video💥🔥

[@taniasteyn4078]

I wish Chef Masa was my Personal Chef. I would come back again very quickly. ❤

[@kindabluejazz]

I love habaneros - they have so much flavor beyond their heat. But eating a half of one on a maki, plus jalapenos, plus habanero puree in the sauce - that's gonna be HOT!

[@rmannayr2129]

SPICY TUNA ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Apotatoflewaround_]

This series should have been called Heaters!

[@msmith677]

What a strange journey, loved it!

I win huh. Love Chef Masa.
