Hi Hiro. You are a HERO in your profession and sure are the master sushi chef you indicate you are. You are such a sweet patient and overall super nice person and I just love watching your channel. I can't wait until you get 1 million viewers and we can finally see what the nice and interesting camera man looks like. Thank you for all of your delicious and amazing recipes-you are a true creative and sensitive artist. By the way, I love that you take all the bones out of the fish you are making to make it a true pleasure and joy to eat. I can't wait to see what you are going to cook next.

These videos are awesome. Really a treat to see a master in action. 👍

[@YehudaMazeltov]

He's not a master, he's a low-down American-roll-making hack who simply calls himself a master. Every time I watch one of his videos I see at least three things that make me want to claw my eyes out. In this video I was already dismayed enough to see how he chopped the head off the fish, but where I drew the line was when he tossed the precious roe sacs unceremoniously into the trash. I couldn't keep watching after that. I effing hate this guy more than any other sushi quack on KZbin. He is a disgrace.

[@bennethbugna7795]

I have a question. Can the vinegar which was used in the container with the fish fillets be used for another batch within the same day OR is it required to use another bottle of vinegar?

[@iPhoneneto]

Good afternoon.

[@raizumichin]

I'm a bit late, but I believe many sushi restaurants use the same vinegar for years, just adding a little fresh vinegar occasionally to keep the acidity up so it doesn't go bad.

Wow I’m gonna try this method instead of the one I usually use, before I would start off by cutting down the middle gutting it and then cutting off the head, it works but takes a lot longer and is way more messy, hiro may make it look easy but his method of cutting off the head first and then just letting the guts come out the neck hole seems so much easier and quicker Thanks for the upload now I’m gonna impress everyone at college when I do fish again 😂👍
