Sensei Motokichi actually travelled to Mexico at one point to teach people how to make Omurice there. So there’s definitely a great chance he will accept your invitation and teach you it himself! He also has a KZbin channel called “KichiKichi Omurice motokichi” where he normally do vlogs or cooking tutorials there. You should definitely check it out Uncle Roger!

[@masahirukouta21]

its not “there is a chance”, Sensei Motokichi will definitely accept it, considering his personality

I would love to see the two of them do a video together and have Uncle Roger try making it himself. Obviously he'd excel at the fried rice, but the omelet 😅 would love to find out how many tries it'd take him to get it right 😅. Also, I wanna visit Japan someday and eat at his place, the food looks amazing. Obviously that's not the only reason I wanna visit, but it's part of it. 😊

I appreciate that you called Sensei Motokichi "skilled" instead of "talented". As an artist (not a cook or chef or anything, though I'm learning), chalking up results to "talent" discounts all the practise put in. You can have a talent for a craft, but to be good at it you need to practise to turn that talent into skill.

[@grandmasterofdemoniccock]

Talent is just the start, but it won’t get you where you need to be. Hone that talent like a blade.

[@oranjekola]

When I was in culinary school my teacher was insane about us learning to flip an egg in a pan without breaking the yolk. At the time I didn't get it why it was so important but i was so excited when i finally mastered it. Watching stuff like this just reminded me of how hard it is to learn the art and how good it feels to master it.

One quick expansion to what Uncle Roger said. "Kodawari" (拘り) means "obsession, fixation, pickiness," and it can also refer to a restaurant's specialty. "Kodawarinuku" (こだわり抜く) means "to refuse to compromise on quality." That's probably closer to what Uncle Roger means about the Japanese desire to strive towards perfection. (But, I'm not a native speaker, so there are probably nuances and connotations that I don't fully understand.)

[@stephieirene1]

The force is strong with Uncle Roger. He posted this 9 hours ago and Sensei Motokichi's audience has already grown 1,000 people.

[@MarkKatz2772-jg3tc]

I love how wholesome and just impressive that episode was. It's such a difficult dish to make that even Uncle Roger can't help but be impressed by a result that is not perfect, by Andrew I think his name was, his attempt. And then Chef Motokichi... Very fitting that he would get an Uncle+ title. My jaw dropped twice during his performance, when he first did those really crazy tosses, without even looking at the pan, really, and just catching everything perfectly. And when he tossed the omelet onto the plate through the air, and it landed and split by itself perfectly... It's like beholding a divine miracle, or something. Absolutely incredible!

[@justsomeguy2825]

I love how chef motokichi describes his own experience learning how to cook omurice. It took him several months to do it exactly right, but once he did, he was amazed, and was able to do it perfectly ever since. Thats why hes so nice to first timers, because he knows how long it takes to properly develop a skill.

[@pedroneves7153]

He actually passed the recipe to Andrew for Andrew to do it again in the US. If I recall it's in his KZbin channel and he also uses a motokichi pan that chef motokichi sells.
