The Michelin-Star Chef Serving Sushi in an Apartment | Masters At Work | Bon Appétit

Today, Bon Appétit will join Chef Akira Shirayama at his restaurant, Yorozu, in Tokyo to observe his mastery of aged sushi. The best sushi isn’t always the freshest-Shirayama has invented methods for aging nearly 1000 varieties of fish, earning him a Michelin Star. At his six-seat restaurant hidden in a nondescript apartment building, guests can enjoy an omakase tailored to them by the sushi master himself.

Love this type of personal attention with only a few customers and the focus on the food by an expert chef, thank you for another wonderful video

[@dechoi542]

I actually ate at Shirayama-sans restaurant last November. Planning on going again this winter. He's really hospitable and is a great sushi shokunin. Highly recommend Jukuseizushi Yorozu.

How is it as an English speaking guest?

[@quintenjacobs5684]

How much did you spent?

[@dechoi542]

@@quintenjacobs5684 I think I spent about 38,500 yen. I bought some non-alcoholic beer, the price is generally 33,500 yen (tax,service charge included).

[@quintenjacobs5684]

@@dechoi542 amazing thank you for sharing! I assume it was well worth it.

[@pippa3150]

What a great video! People are complaining there was no narration, but it was better without it! If you want, turn on subtitles and it will give you a little more info.

[@vr0k3n]

It was not better without any type of narration. If I want no voiceover I go watch any of the millions of nature cooking channels out there.

[@Sylarzx]

this is the classic japanese style vlog fyi

[@Ilikeitlikethis]

The attention to detail for a meal is astonishing.

[@renie_rivas]

How do you feed a crab sake??? Picturing it sipping the tiniest little cup 🍶

[@andrewcyders1562]

The simple rice with nori dish reminds me of the mole at Pujol. It's genius because there's nowhere to hide. Something so simple has to be perfect or you'll know immediately. Also gives the diners a reference point for other courses that contain the rice and nori, and how those flavors build with the fish. Brilliant.

[@kiyolo030]

I could watch this for hours it’s somehow so relaxing

[@davemei83]

We need more sushiyas in the US that pay attention to the rice and its seasoning. Most places have atrocious rice.

[@36MSERIAS]

That eel roll, he's very creative that the customer could have three different taste with 3 bites

[@crunchyfrog1709]

I'm in the minority but I loved the quiet. Turn on captioning and slow the video down if you have to. Also wondering how much would this cost?

[@gabrielb2381]

this video cured my anxiety for the day

[@somerandomfella]

Will definitely go try next time in Tokyo. Hopefully he doesn't have a 6 month waitlist, caters to foreigners and can be easily booked.

[@asadxo]

turn on captions

[@victorlui5955]

Yay. I like. Sushi. Sushi, Sushi!!! 🍣🍣🍣

[@windy.way0]

Such amazing quality, presentation and simplicity

[@hbailie9115]

Oh DAYUM. I was in Japan this summer! I wish I knew about this place. I'm literally drooling.

[@KoolRanqe]

A precious establishment.

[@ettajfan5882]

This is beauty.

[@anothertarnishedone5960]

Very calm and elegant. Must be very expensive, but worth it

[@sailelsa]

This is amazing. Not only the chef and his creations, but the video presentation. It’s purist approach suits the subject exquisitely. Thank you! Now I need to figure out how to sit at that sushi bar❤

[@protopigeon]

I'd love to asee a video of his knives and his maintenance schedule.

[@DRob70]

You have to respect the dedication he has to his craft.

[@felixr.6438]

It would be really interesting to know what he charges, being able to serve only a few people per night.

[@Lianggg]

About 250 bucks

[@omerbarel5495]

Looking on his website, it seems to be 38,500 yen for the whole course

[@felixr.6438]

@@Lianggg Really? That seems very cheap, especially considering some of his ingredients are very expensive.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

@@felixr.6438 the way he process the fish, he doesn't need to use the highest grade, as you can see, he doesn't even need to butcher his own fish, so most likely all processed fish or not first tier. That will cut down a lot of cost.

[@Wvk5zc]

Please do more of this format

[@a004]

Whats the name of the restaurant? How do i book??

[@quintenjacobs5684]

so much respect for this guy

[@andersfant4997]

Technical but exquisite🙂👍

[@LightWarriors4Life]

Elegant detail in the preparation. 😊

[@speeddemon2262]

Amazing.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love your content ❤❤❤

[@xanderb3207]

BA w some tasty content since they changed pretty much the entire channel.... got to hand it to them

[@javacore]

nice

[@TS-pl7zw]

What’s the name of the restaurant?

[@mohammedrakib3736]

This might be inappropriate... but just seeing raw aged fish being eaten like this...I can't fathom how they bear the smell of aged fish...

[@sauceokay]

I hope they were served more food that didn't make it into the video lol

[@bakerman10]

The quiet would unnerve me. I know I'm odd, but I need to talk and have some quiet background music. This is almost creepy to me.

[@MarioZacares]

hows posible his doing alone everything?

[@shaduck06]

aged fish vs fresh fish, come to Safeway

[@Ganodic]

Sign me up.

[@epfutral]

was there supposed to be a voiceover? the captions seem like there is. hard to watch the craft when I'm having to read the captions to know the backstory

[@Jason-sp5yc]

Seems like the wrong version got uploaded.

[@DangerSquiggles]

@@Jason-sp5yc No, they also made another video like this. The lack of voiceover is a stylistic choice.

[@benjamin-yb]

👍🏿

[@BDGMed]

Why tf wasn’t this narrated

[@pippa3150]

It didn't need to be. The point was enjoying the food with your eyes. It's about the experience.

[@DrBrightSCP]

Use captions

[@mz4ahs]

no voiceover

[@nutcrackernoonan3637]

Doesn't need it.

[@ultimateform8714]

Chef is amazing! This video needs a voice over or something though. Way too quiet.

[@jimmymartinez2585]

Never liked sushi 😅 paying for something you can’t do ur self Japanese are not special anyone can learn 😂😂😂

[@aintflexinjusttexan8339]

AGED sushi? Absolutely NOT

[@hbailie9115]

You've never eaten at a real steakhouse? Steaks are aged, too. And ham. And basically every animal flesh product.

[@MattManAYS]

Not a big fan of this style of video.

[@estipiteapofonico]

All that fuss and you leave the place still hungry.

[@munch08js]

I guess you don't frequent these types of places. 😅

[@vr0k3n]

What kind of half-assed video is this? Just subtitles? No voiceover or chef's audio explaining anything? Really? Sorry, but no.

[@BELLAPHONTOO]

Boring,
