Sushi Chef with Satoshi Kiyokawa is a Japanese Staple in Los Angeles

[@changmokim7486]

I really like that he introduces his fish handler/provider to his customers to show that he really cares about the quality of food he wants to bring to the customer's table.

[@VisualiseTheFun]

Why are all his customers female? Also, see how grateful that fish supplier is - the life of a working-class immigrant is hard, I'm glad to see it is working out for him.

[@dw284]

Wow I was about to comment exactly the two things you said.

[@whostolehonno]

I think it's always been the affluent (it's Beverly Hills, and this sushi must cost lots) ladies (esp. if they're japanese, more likely to work minimally/have more free time compared to their typically male counter parts) who have enjoyed and experienced this kind of "hipster" (I don't mean that in a derogatory way) and kinda insubstantial fine dining.

[@silverdc5]

VisualiseTheFun because he is pimping

[@admenocal]

He is grateful because this man opened the doors to his success as a fish supplier. Japanese culture is based on trust as are many Asian cultures, the only way to do business with someone is to be referred by a trusted party. As for the all of the people at the sushi bar being women, he probably had to set this up with people who were good with getting filmed, they could be a group of friends, who knows...

[@oTwOrDsNe]

This is one of my favorite all time videos from Munchies! Love his passion, his creativity and openness to stray from everyone else.

[@JeSuisBacon]

I am so happy this series has started again

[@Darkman3299]

Compliments voice- responds with "i like sushi"

[@heartslob]

i think thats a separate clip lol....weird editing

[@Darkman3299]

obviously haha, just funny

[@neohubris]

she's hot...doesn't matter

[@csgarris11]

Adib TheKing

[@fatdoi003]

this is what i appreciate for a true master, being innovative whilst respecting his root and tradition.... not just using the words like modern or fusion and blur everything....

[@godfreykilayko5643]

Yaaas! I love it when munchies uploads videos of japanese cuisine.

[@jostj1952]

"I don't know where to start".... Well there isn't much to choose from

[@incharini]

Anyone else notice it was mostly women there? I wonder why...

[@TheAverlorn]

That's why quite a few of these episodes are done later in the afternoon/evening as you tend to have more of both sexes being free to enjoy meals. Where as this episode was done around lunch service and there are groups of girls out there that enjoy lunches during the week together.

[@noodlepoodleoddle]

I will have to visit his restaurant. Love everything he did in this video.

[@noodlepoodleoddle]

+Anthony Sparta GO's combos average around 150, and singles are much cheaper. It's fairly budget friendly.

[@noodlepoodleoddle]

+Anthony Sparta It's not that expensive if you factor in its location and their cost of living. I spend money on food for the unique experience. Something like this is well worth my time.

[@noodlepoodleoddle]

+Anthony Sparta haha cheers :]

[@Kagarin05]

"budget friendly" and "150" dont mix.

[@noodlepoodleoddle]

+Kagarin? I did mention their singles are much cheaper, did I not? Even if you don't choose their combos, you can still have a good time without spending a whole lot.

[@enricov3059]

at 7:18 i thought it was jay-z and beyonce Lmaoooooo

[@hunga.b]

This was a pretty good episode. Almost all the shots were of food, the preparation of it and people eating it. Thats what we wanna see!

[@my4daughter]

so talented ... really beautiful each of his dish.. i hope one day i could have a chance to stop by

[@MrJesusdoesntsave]

this is one of the coolest channels on youtube

[@poputatetecus]

God love when you post these chefs

[@jurassicsushi]

This was a very relaxing and enjoyable watch. Thanks again #Munchies @Munchies for another great episode.

[@esmagoli]

this place is 1 min away from my apartment!!! it used to be call GOH but they change the name to GO

[@saynotop2w]

I love SoCal. It offers so many authentic restaurants to go to.

[@guilhermegdm92]

beautiful !! Love this serie!!

[@VerlixStone]

He really is a artist. It seems that the food is just there to complement the piece.

[@MyNegativeCreep]

he seems really likea an artist. very passionate about his work!

[@erinkelly0728]

More videos like this please!!

[@hereiskinder]

That fish vendor was the cutest thing

[@grizzlysparks7117]

I love white subtitles against highly lit back grounds.

[@pissedoffatyt]

LOL i actually saw this musical duo last night in front of a bread pudding store. what a coincidence

[@franklinlin1272]

Seriously the Japanese Rob Schneider

[@jws14]

LOL yes!

[@GrillWasabi]

I'm losing sleep with all these munchies videos

[@meremortal4416]

that neuron blocker is such a Japanese thing because that is a super torture move lol

[@zombiTrout]

I remember they did it on the original Iron Chef show. It did look painful...

[@wendycheng484]

Also Ike-Jime, a quick strike to the brain.

[@zombiTrout]

***** Didn't know that dead fish would jump and squirm like that...

[@justin12345]

They bash the fishes heads in, killing them. Then they do the neuron blocker. Its in the spine and nerves so of course the body jumps and squirms. Does the description of what neuron blocker not tell you enough ?, it tricks the body/meat into thinking its not dead. Havent you seen videos of octopus legs moving when you pour soya sauce on it ? Theres even videos of beheaded and gutted fishes still moving and jumping just go youtube it.

[@ahpadt]

+zombiTrout thats just the nerves.

[@bryeap]

always love this series!

[@justrecipes5313]

wow great looking food

[@BoyAditya]

it makes my mouth watering

[@rachellynn4349]

I've been to this restaurant this past week and he was not the sushi chef but the host the sushi chef's name is teddy yamashita. the food was quite expensive but it was worth the experience. can't beat sushi from Hawaii.

[@Juiceplooce]

Wow that flowers shop ladies voice is very unique, you can definitely tell she's been in America a while but there's still that slight Japanese type of undertone

[@venomkaSe]

this is lovely

[@TheSkyCactus]

Never fucking watching this show while being hungry before bed ever again X(

[@abhinavjoshi6177]

DEFINATLY GONNA TRY IT ONE DAY

[@ryan124007]

This is ultra fancy. Gotta go someday...

[@amberbarton195]

I really want to go there!

[@lucidjackson8291]

I just ate the best sushi in my town this video makes me want to visit right now

[@katpolacek1862]

I’ve been looking Satoshi!

[@MadukaJayalath]

4:30 Those ladies look at him like "English?" :D

[@NeuroHead]

Damn! that place looks great.

[@HevaNaisdey]

1:45 this is his wallet picture :))

[@TriforceRich]

I'm sure this novelty appeals to some people but at the end of the day I'm about the food. Aesthetics are appreciated but it's really not why I got to a restaurant. The last thing I need to add to the price of extremely fresh/imported sushi are these gimmicks. I do appreciate the quality of fish and care to the food on a taste level. My mentality is probably why Chinese food is my favorite.

[@SlowSlowSloth]

Yeah this is a taste and style experience. If you are starving and looking for something to just gobble down it's probably unnecessary to go here. All foods have their moments.

[@MemberHomei]

Mistake: he said he came to USA in 1979, the subtitles said 1997.

[@yuliaayuasyari3960]

looks so tasty!

[@lucafarina1644]

Looks delicious

[@meydintheusa7330]

It's very funny how a women commented on the Chef about how he looked like the Yakuza and how it was referred to in the subtitles.

[@wibisono6815]

Super sushi chef👍👍

[@TomasStavik]

Lovely!

[@jn5534]

The courses are pretty darn expensive though :(

[@jshshh1041]

1:45 makes me want to visit Japan. God damn...

[@zf5249]

remember what bob from bob's burger said about food, this could be fun but is it tasty, he didn't say that, it's just my interpretation from the episode

[@tanakattack5965]

does the fog underneath the cup actually do anything or is it just for looks. Because i'm wondering if he actually somehow was able to capture smoke in the cup and place it around the fish, would it give it a smokey flavor?

[@oswaldocontreras1507]

I think that's mainly for presentation and entertainment purposes since the salmon has already been smoked for some time in the smoker that was shown, I believe. I could be wrong but I doubt the fish would really absorb any smoke flavor in the short time from plating to eating.

[@thinhle5007]

wonderful

[@RustyB5000]

damn that's expensive. i dont mind paying a little more for high quality food but that's like 10x the price edit: after watching the vid in its entirety, i can kinda see why the prices are so high. seems pretty legit.

[@whispermomasmrasmr8599]

Beautiful

[@noqpiki2]

just seeing how much they serve by plate i know that i cant afford it

[@IyearnMusic]

Holy Snikeys is that expensive....dafuq

[@joelgronqvist8495]

i figured i gon nd' eat that fish and its pretty gon dong good

[@Durkeeon]

First! this guy is an awesome chef. And I learned something about fish.

[@Keletho]

Can some please tell me what song is 9:57 :( im desperate!!!!!

[@bobjenkins8170]

thank you mas, come again mas, we're open 4-12 mas

[@ErnestJay88]

People complaint about "too much flower and decoration than a food" didn't know that Omakase Sushi dishes are not just a "food you had to eat" but also japanese art and culture on it. if you just wanna eat until full ? don't go to japanese sushi restaurant, go to mcdonald instead.

[@donstawn9539]

His style is kinda different from the basic Omakase... but it's worth trying I guess

[@TellaTheTruth]

1:45 why would you leave that?

[@krazykrush]

"I like sushi" wtf? Is she related to the "I like turtles" kid?

[@rionn2]

-Nice voice -Than you, i like sushi

[@aeoe5524]

What a playa xD

[@Chillzone420]

1:45 where can i apply for this?

[@bojingjia]

Anyone know what kind of clothing he was wearing (the blue garb with white diamonds patterned all over; in the flower shop)?

[@elcuhhh8761]

The orange pieces what type of fish is that

[@ameame8]

Kaiseki focuses on the appearance as much as the food. Some people in comments should really take a second to Google the term.

[@thanasis_krg]

Η ΜΠΑΝΤΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΕΛΙΩΜΕΝΗ!!! ΑΥΤΟΚΤΩΝΑ

[@nikejessop516]

Wow

[@zerocoolkid9757]

very nice sugoy

[@Caroleseaa]

can you even get full from these meals

[@Linny95]

The restaurant is now permanently closed...lol

[@hadouken082G]

he looks like a fantastic man

[@maymicky3739]

Damn

[@squiremuldoon5462]

No wonder this place closed down.

[@Lordylbc]

Looks really expensive .

[@mbhs9317]

I think the foods a little too fresh.

[@lucidjackson8291]

FOH

[@XowntXihqX]

destroys the nerves leading to muscle making the muscles think it's brain is still alive. does it really work like this? if the nerves are dead how the heck can the muscles think they're needed??

[@nephildevil]

Don't wanna sound like an emo weeboo but I should plan a whole day with sushi and watching anime sometime :D

[@Apocalypz]

Too many hipster customers. A proper client is able to enjoy the food, not unhappily wait around whilst others finally sit in their seat like educated adults. Quite shameful, it is.

[@longyellowbanana]

6:08 aren't you supposed to bow lower than elders? as a sign of respect

[@danalyze]

Why does everything and everyone happen in LA? how fuckn big is that city wtf..

[@Jearru]

those flowers on a plate are annoying

[@CriticalHiitz]

Looks expensive for little food

[@vahidrvahidr]

This restaurant looks awesome! I did an entire 13 episode series on Japan with Kaiseki food included if people want more check me out.

[@DGAFshawn]

So this sashimi isn't sushi grade...

[@twofeathers2023]

Am I the only one who got my eyes more on the girls than the sushi

[@Gaussen]

all people he knows can speak japanese wtf

[@伊藤博文-e7j]

It's not easy to serve this level of dish in US. He must dedicate himself so much in this business. Good Luck!

[@VANRICKTONY]

nice...but alive is fresh not dead fish

[@KingDennisJensen]

japanese ppl are kool.

[@samandkaito4191]

Great episode, but from what it looks likes, he is using disposable chopsticks in his restaurant?!? That's a shame.

[@user-gx7by2js2v]

pimpin' 1:45

[@juliaryan4266]

Stop taking pictures and just eat your food.

[@AlvinCornelius]

I don't get why people enjoy raw instead of cooked fish

[@partykrew666]

try and see for yourself!

[@AlvinCornelius]

partykrew666 I have, I hated it, it makes me sick. we have the technology and intelligence to cook, why settle for raw?

[@foobar5853]

+Alvin Cornelius because it taste good

[@jurassicsushi]

Some people are turned off by the texture. Both my mother and niece didn't like sushi when they 1st tried it, but i took the time to lead them into it slowly by starting off with the most basic "California Rolls". They don't have raw fish in them and its just to allow their tongues to get familiar with the texture. I then let them try "Shrimp Tempura, followed by Eel" which are both cooked fully but the texture of the eel is very similar to that of the raw fish. Once they were familiar with the texture i led them into rolls that had salmon or tuna in them. Now they both love sushi. I would reccomend you have an experienced Sushi eating friend take you back to a restaraunt and give it another go. If you love Cooked Fish more than likely you will love and appreciate it raw. Just a suggestion.

[@xxdalionxx]

+Alvin Cornelius. have you had it made by a proper sushi chef? i have eaten my sushi made by a trained sushi chef feo. japan its relatively inexpensive and dwlicious but then again i live in toronto.

[@VelvetCzar]

this place is overly boogie for me. Sushi is my favorite food and I appreciate the art, but I saw more about flowers and making shit look pretty rather than his art and technique. I'd rather get on the list for Jiro

[@my4daughter]

omg the guy with red sunglasses .. he should spend money for his teeth rather than on his clothes.. very bad teeth
