Agreed! I only heard snippets of the story before. Thanks Taku

[@Matteffinawesome]

It's nice to see you get a little personal and share more about your history.

[@debramage739]

Taku and Jocelyn, welcome back to Okinawa! I think this year we have had a little more rain than normal. Take care and keep on fishing with the family! Also I saw your sister's video, Miski's video are getting really good!

[@Mena-w6l1g]

Those floating fishing islands look like so much fun - love that idea.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Thanks for sharing your story with us again. We can’t wait for your book. Maybe a book signing event one day??

[@corrinasaunders3877]

Great feast. Looks real good enough for an army lol. Too bad about the fishing, some days are good and some are bad. Keep up the great vids.

[@victoryshieldtacticalllc3534]

That trigger fish at 6:30 ish is called a broomfish in Hawaii and its actually quite good eating. I spearfished for a few years and saw them a few times without knowing they were good table fare, but then started harvesting them when I found out.

[@jessejenkins6654]

I was going to say we call them a file fish in Florida and they are great to eat 🤙

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

Another great video filled with delicious recipes!

[@Sakana_Ren]

Yea, when I visited my grandfather in Japan, he took us fishing. Fun times. Keep up the awesome work, Taku and Jocelyn. And, take care. 🎋

[@RGB06084]

Beautiful fish that your sister caught!

[@dr_space1030]

Is that book coming as ebook as well? Must be international friendly taku! 😂😂

[@yanjijay6752]

Japan seems like an awesome place to live & love sashimi

[@mikedelacruz3135]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 episode Taku. Glad y’all got to make another trip to the Mother Land. Cheers Y’all 👊🏼😎🍻

[@samuelnelson7429]

When I was a boy I would visit my grandpa in Molokai, Hawaii. We would fish on the harbor in Kauanakaki. We were not successful. We noticed a Japanese lady who was also fishing and doing incredibly well. She saw us looking at her and motioned us to her. She explained to us where and how she caught the live shrimp she was using for bait. She also showed us how to rig the shrimp. We did way better after that. When my mom was young, she had a similar experience. As a child she fished the pier at Redondo beach. Late 50’s/early 60’s. She wasn’t doing well until a group of older Japanese fishermen took my mom under their wing. They taught her how to consistently catch ocean perch and she has been fishing ever since. The Japanese people have been kind to my family, especially when it comes to fishing. Hat tip to their kindness.

[@b-lopez394]

What the heck! Last vlog, you guys in Nicaragua picking mushroom. Now you guys are more than 7000 miles across the ocean in Japan👍. Loved the floating fishing platform👌. Looks like a wonderful place to have a picnic with the family. Sorry about your family immigration issue. Keep the vlog coming.

[@momlikesmemore]

What a great idea! Wish we had these in California, might even give this sea sick prone grandma a chance to learn to fish.

[@dirtclod5834]

I get impatient with your videos!!! Love the chili crisp! Looking forward to the next cookbook! #BlessUp

[@Barry_Blaak]

15:37 hear that pure jdm in the background 🍩🍢

[@mikebartoli4755]

Lol... Japan drinks virtually everything out of plastic bottles. But seriously, your videos are so good Taku... I remember you promising years ago that you would get better with each video and you haven't let us down! You and Matts are my two favorites!

[@CytoplasmicGoo]

Just got back from a 9 day trip, I miss Japan already. No joke about the sushi, they are extremely good down there and very reasonably priced.

[@diamondsavage5070]

Thank you for sharing! When we are taught about 911 we mostly learn about the emotional impact it made on everyone United States. We don’t even think to realize how all of that affected the whole world in regard to immigration. Family’s being separated etc! Thank you for sharing that🤍

[@michaelwarden5349]

Thank you so very very much for coming back on🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅. I wish I could cook a little bit like you. Please take care of yourself and all your family and your friends and THE camera person. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH SIR.

[@thai33oz]

I knew this Japan video was coming thanks to Mitsuki channel

[@Yotadaily]

Thanks for your content and all you do to bring people so much happiness and joy Keep being you and make all this beautiful content Bay Area fisherman doing big things !!

[@808NoH8]

We call that one a broomfish because of the tail. Nice catch.

[@victoryshieldtacticalllc3534]

I'm not new here, but that's the first time I've heard your story. It's interesting how things don't always happen the way we expect, but the outcomes can still be pretty amazing. I didn't have a dad around either but ended up with around 10 half brothers and sisters from that situation. Though it wasn't ideal, I wouldn't change it for the world, because I know that if anything changed, some of my brothers and sisters wouldn't exist.

[@utahjag]

Awesome episode, Thank You for taking the time and effort! Not your fault, I know, but did you notice how everything that possible could be was plastic? You already can't go to a beach without finding it and most of it is still yet to wash up...

[@mattchilders9675]

Love that you’re working on that sleeve buddy!!! Looks good from what I can see

[@SD-ft6gs]

wow thank you so much for sharing Taku... It is so cool to see you with your family! You should teach your sister English! ha ha ha.excited to get your cookbook, putting it on my Christmas wish list!

[@KUSHIEbudz420]

Japan looks so beautiful

[@pnwexcso2939]

Yay cookbook! 😀

[@chris6054]

Hey bro, Ill be ordering that cookbook as soon as it drops, and it'll go right next to Nick DiGiovanni's on my shelf. Living in Florida Im all about that coastal harvest, unfortunately we dont get too many mushrooms to forage for but there are some local, gourmet growers so Ill find something to add in! It would be very cool if you possibly made some other books in the future too, maybe centered on west/gulf/east coast, and heck do something for the great lakes region aswell?! Im sure your preorders are gonna go very well! Im glad you got to reconnect with your family. I lost my dad at 10 so I definitely understand having a missing part like that.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Can’t wait to grab your cookbook bud.

[@dont3175]

Definitely pre ordering that cook book !! My bday 11/22 and the costal harvest is gonna be a self present !

[@Screwdriver346]

Nice cooking setup. Only way to feed people on the fly. I would love some rice whatever you were cooking.

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Nice 😊 mate!!!🤠👌👌💪🤙💯 lovely family !!!

[@PappiFL]

Sorry to hear about the immigration system failing you and your family during your childhood. But I am happy that you are able to spend some quality time with your family now. Keep up the amazing fishing videos!

[@greghelton4668]

Every time I go to Japan I make sure to go to the local supermarket and purchase A5 Wagyu and grill it over coals Korean style yakiniku. Costs less than half of what I pay in the USA. The other thing I do is buy supermarket sushi platters and select choice slabs of sashimi grade fish. It’s better than what I can get at most sushi restaurants in the US except high end places.

[@tastyj3940]

Yay more Japan content

[@PantalonRouge]

taku youre the man!

[@lilyyoung6479]

You should totally come to Australia again!

[@iflanzy]

floating platform fishing sounds like my kind of excursion

[@marks7120]

Congratulations. Amazing news. Do what you need to do. If your priorities didn’t change after your baby was born, that’s what would worry me. Good onya mate.

[@Big7media2011]

Bro, hookup with NORA JP from Japan, that dudes got the best jigging I’ve ever seen. He’s an expert fisherman for sure

[@shermanou1337]

They can take a hot bath together on a cold winter beach

[@1oldvato782]

Hey Taku it's great to see you visiting with your Dad & Sister back in Japan. So November 26 is pre-order date for the physical bound cook book correct.

[@kalaiolele8796]

"Floating Platform" = FAD.....some places they're common, some places legal, some place not legal....some place natural. The coolest "FAD" I've ever fished was a 40 foot container that we found about 50 - 100 miles off the coast of Hawai'i. Caught tons of Ahi and Mahimahi for about 5 days or fishing and running back to port and back out to the container until we finaly lost the container

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Since Taku and Leif have done videos together, just thought I’d ask on here and see if anyone knows what ever happened to North west fishing secrets? He hasn’t posted anything for months.

[@iBon1wheel]

He got a huge paycheck from KZbin, bought a farm in the mountains, and dropped off the map. Can’t blame him

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

@ you only get paid as you keep posting new videos, people are only gonna watch his old videos for so long, then the KZbin money slows down.

[@moblack5883]

@@Hinesfarm-Indiana yeah he just vanished

[@wannabfishing5631]

He live in hawaii ​@@iBon1wheel

[@NoobGamer-mh4gj]

KZbinrs going on a hiatus with no update isnt out of the norm. Probably taking a break or going through family matters

[@bradliston8990]

That's a bummer about the immigration split. What a blessing to be able to re-unite more often all these years later though. What an awesome opportunity to take advantage of.

[@jasoncates2944]

I was truly saddened to hear about your tragic family history separation story. What a nightmare. A family should never be forced apart like that.

[@GavinChong-o7z]

That place looks awsome for a fishing holiday. Are you doing a collab with Hey Skipper ? I believe he is also there in Japan.

[@scottyplug]

Was the grill provided here or did you guys have to bring it? Sweet set up and damn Taku, you make everything seem gourmet!

[@Lost_itt]

It's way more than a little obvious that you miss your family and Japan as a whole. Im not sure of your life circumstances, and its none of my business, but if you can stay longer, it might not be a bad idea. Best wishes either way 💯

[@joniii5]

Man I’m a lot like you taku!!! I love fishing on the rocks and jetty and salmon fishing and shellfish and mushrooms all that so am excited to check out your book !! Where do we order it from you?

[@tiltedsugar4484]

The one that Mitsuki caught is called a filefish, which contains “palytoxin” in its gastrointestinal tract and internal organs. Had caught them before near Uruma.

[@aromracsonethongkham4150]

Thanks for sharing your family history. My family was lucky enough to stay together when we immigrated from laos after the communist takeover.

[@alniques]

Broomfish! lol I seen some big ones but my hook was too big for them to hook up, but I’ve heard they taste good as sash.

[@jordanheath4315]

Just came here to say. I’m with you on honey mustard being the best nug sauce. I LOVE your videos. Jealous of your life and the things you eat 😭

[@amsb4dafunk558]

Once ago It was called Hot Mustard Sauce Then The marketing nerds Sissified it, and called it Honey Mustard Still It is better than the other sauces.

[@douglawson8937]

You should open up a fusion chain called Taku's Tacos and make amazing Mexican / Japanese fusion foods and sell them to the Japanese folks there. They'd go for it, I think.

[@NDFRSTR]

Now for the preorder, will you sign the books?

[@kecaleb]

This might sound really out of left field, but you should get with an animator, and do an anime of outdoor chef life. There's a few fishing anime that are pretty cool.

[@Mike-Eye]

Nice new tattoo work braddah 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@ParacordPalsandHeroes]

🤗Hey guys, nice, nice. Japan! Course, I saw yall there on Mitsuki's channel. If you could eat that fish tail, it'd make a great big fried tail chip,😜huh? Good scene shots👍🏽😵‍💫. Thanks. Memphis,10🇺🇲 Sweet!
