$100 MICHELIN STAR “Wood Seared” Sushi 18 COURSE Tasting Menu at Sushi Shin

[@thecatlawyer11]

Great respect to all the chefs creating wonderful masterpieces! What an art.

[@viastephtop]

It's like, considering what you get with the experience, the price isn't all that insane. You'll pay more for far less in the states, and the sheer craftsmanship of the chef...a pleasure to watch.

[@Reymdusk]

That Wagyu sushi looked so extravagant

[@leighannhayward7049]

I can almost taste it!!! that chef is genious!!! I'll take all the Wagyu please and thank you! Miso soup is my heart food - it makes me feel so comfy

[@bigusdallastexamas5740]

From a guy who wound't really eat raw fish to a Japanese Omakase experience. You've turned a corner my friend! Great to see you finding a new category to explore and enjoy.

[@jonnywas2665]

yeah...its amazing how its easy to 'turn a corner' when there's money round the bend...great guy who sold out. Shame

[@tinkcrow]

@@jonnywas2665 What do you mean by that? How is he “sold out.”

[@appolop8273]

Asian cuisine and Asian Chef's are the best in the world. These Chef's are very humble and very creative, they are definitely not on a power trip like the Western and European Chef's are. Bravo to this Master Chef who's preparing Mikey's meal.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I couldn't agree with you more. Western chefs are totally full of themselves, treat people terribly, and act like they know everything. You do SCULLERY WORK FOR A LIVING, GET OVER YOURSELF. The Food Network isn't calling any time soon, you're mad about it, and you want the world to know it, oooooo, big deal. I can't stand them.

[@zhiqiangwang121]

Still remember the days mike wouldn't eat any sushi and look at him now, food looks so delicious

[@LemoNanora]

I think it's sashimi that he doesn't eat back then but sushi is ok as long as it's doesn't have any raw fish

[@tempesttube]

@@LemoNanora He eats raw fish now though. It used to be that he wouldn’t eat anything raw. I think that John Daub got him to really try sushi while in Japan.

[@gregmuon]

Yeah, me too. That was my first thought. It was a long time ago now! He's come a long way... 😃

[@Arthrexx]

@@tempesttube Yeah, I struggle hard with eating raw stuff, too. Wish it would come easy so I can enjoy things like in the video.

[@tempesttube]

@@Arthrexx I enjoy a lot of different kinds of food, so I like to encourage people to try things. However, I know a lot of people who hate trying food that’s out of their comfort zone, so I usually suggest small steps that are likely to be positive. e.g., for sushi, even some of the cooked items are adventurous to a lot of people so I suggest starting with things like eel and smoked salmon. Separating the idea of eating something raw from the act of actually eating something raw can help too. Spicy tuna is popular among people who still don’t like the idea of eating raw fish, even though they are. In Mike’s case, I think that he was fortunate to have a very positive first experience, even though he tried a lot of things at once.

[@maryn7414]

the craftsmanship of sushi chefs never fails to amaze me

[@nadinehoogenboezem4798]

Yes. Japan in general

[@babu25557]

Glad to see youre still doing well after All these years Mike! Love you!!

[@internalreality]

what an absolutely magical experience.. beautiful

[@scarlett8782]

wow, what a talented chef. using that red hot wood charcoal to sear the soft fish without tearing it is really impressive.

[@queenbeemo42]

This looks like a once in a life time experience! ❤

[@shelaughs185]

I know it sounds silly, but I'm so glad he showed respect and wore a proper shirt instead of a T-shirt. I always feel a little embarrassed when he goes to fine dining in a T-shirt. It's a matter of respect for the establishment and sloppy dress just perpetuates the "Sloppy American" stereotype. Get a logo polo shirt at least. This was nice.

[@IlleCaudimordax]

Is it really a michelin star? I can find another Sushi Shin in Nishiazabu with a star in the guide but the Sushi Shin Asagaya doesn't seem to have one. Just curious about which one you went to.

[@sonny9054]

I envy Mikey as I would probably never manage to get a reservation at this place. A tell tell sign that this is indeed a high end restaurant is how they prepare the rice. No sugar added and using black vinegar. At most luxurious sushi joints, red vinegar is all the hype, but this place doesn’t even conform to that. Shows the confidence of their dishes to be the best.

[@sokiepokiee]

Thinking the same! He probably got an invite or has connections 😮

[@tempesttube]

@@sokiepokiee Maybe, but he has enough flexibility to plan trips around the reservations.

[@ruthwhite3938]

I just checked the link he out for this restaurant. Anyone can make a reservation.

[@RylaDarkstar]

Black vinegar is amazing. I use it in my BBQ at home. 🤟

[@sonny9054]

@@ruthwhite3938 Thanks!

[@p3ngpong]

Wow... that last bite with the wagyu is probably the most expensive and delicious looking one out of them all. I really want to try that!

[@stuckinmopro8533]

I absolutely love watching this talented sushi chef create such beautiful pieces. Visually they are gorgeous but, even though I’ve tried a number of times, I can’t stand the consistency of raw fish. Perhaps if they could take all of these expertly sliced fish pieces and put them on the grill I’d be good to go, lol!

[@SavannahVu1985]

I’m the same! I truly do wish I could enjoy the taste and texture of raw fish but I just can’t.

[@rodrigoamor360]

i loved how you included footage of the chef making the sushi with sound and not just music especially when recorded him putting the burned wood on the sushi it makes the video more satisfying

[@florencem.402]

This video made my day! i can not wait to go to Japan!

I was jealous for a solid 15 minutes... Definitely getting sushi for dinner tonight. And I'm curious if anyone has ever considered starting a drinking game to drink every 5th time Mikey says Umami...

i’ve always wanted to know… and it’s none of my business… but i used to watch your videos from the beginning, especially the ramen tour you did in NY. i can tell when there’s so many people, you kinda just walk in the restaurant. in one’s like these, that are more intimate, do you call in and let them know who you are due to the intimacy, or do these restaurants usually just do intimate fine and dine? i know some restaurants actually do this so i was genuinely curious. what’s your take?

[@tempesttube]

I love raw oysters, but I only get them from places that I trust to have fresh oysters. I would suggest trying them again if you’ve only had them the one time, but that’s just my bias.

[@Josh-bf6ht]

Try it again with a little dash of tabasco or lemon juice.

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

If this is in Nishi-Azabu in Tokyo, it is indeed a one star Michelin restaurant. The average price of a dinner course is $150.
