We've been planning this shoot for so long It's such a bold statement to start off with toro That's usually what people end their service off with but to begin The delicious piece of toro like that you know you're in for a ride So beautiful There are so many flavors happening right now in my mouth Mmm, the squid. It's really sweet and super soft But then you get this like bright citrus flavor, and then suddenly there's some creaminess in there And you realize that there's uni hiding in there and then this little crunchy popping bubbles in your mouth of the fish eggs And then there's like kind of sesame seeds flavor with it as well kind of nutty it's like an entire Dinner plate being served to you with all these little dishes. That's been compacted into one piece of sushi Wow Don't expect these kind of flavors with sushi regularly It was so sweet and at the same time the citrus made it so bright and refreshing and it's just such a different Flavor profile from what you're used to when you're eating sushi in this We're only three pieces in I don't know how much more of this I could take I'm willing to pay the check right now and leave, and I'd be totally satisfied I'll eat your pieces for you to worry, okay I got this Pray for nothing that I've even heard of being put together flounder with steamed flounder liver on top and then more magical things I love the little pots he's like It's beautiful That's like a marshmallow puffy fish when you bite into it You get the smoothness of the liver Adding like a totally different texture to it Then right at the end You have this amazing fresh citrus flavor that kind of cleans out your mouth Hmm that is a really unique fish Every piece that you get is A different kind of focus so that mackerel was like a test in acidity That scallop was a test in sweetness This one is a test in creaminess I mean just showing you different flavor styles for each piece, and it's just so Impressive that it's like I have this idea of what I want people experience and he creates these combinations for you to get that in each bite This is nuts It's nuts guys Seared fish with umeboshi, which is like a pickled plum And green scallions and other surprises Hmm still warm Hmm About that burst of flavor from the ume(umeboshi) If you ate ume(umeboshi)on its own, it's quite tart. It makes your face pucker up but with the swordfish which is a pretty Mutual tasting fish that's been grilled. It's just like this Wow pop in your mouth when you eat it that is great This is a small red snapper with yuzu pepper Mmm Sweet and spicy at the same time not like burning spice But you feel the tingle of the yuzu pepper. Oh my gosh Everything about this place is great every bite that I have We have this heavenly music playing. I'm not sure everyone else can hear, or it was just in my head I think I died This is Striped Jack Okay This is Striped Jack It's a very firm fish So it holds up the powdered soy Sauce perfectly the soy sauce and the ginger Managed like knock each other out rather than having something too salty to gingery, but almost it's like Chinese food on a piece of sushi What's so cool about this is that You taste different parts in different parts of your mouth So you taste the ginger on one side? In taste the soy on this side two very different flavors with the same fish it tastes of sesame seed in the back So many experiences just in one mouthful this is It's so clever Here we have grilled fugu Milt. This is the perfect season for it right now This is gonna be amazing That's lovely it just explodes into this lovely creaminess that just coats the rice almost like a The closest comparison of taste I get think it was like an egg. Yolk if you bite into like a nice golden egg Yolk and then just close it off Not a single ounce of fishy taste to it, it's so bizarre because the concept of it is really kind of off-putting for some people But when you eat it, it's one of the best pieces of the night at a surprisingly good Blowfish milt. If you don't know what milt is, look it up Delightful The secret sauce is sweet Matches the eel there's no bones, there's nothing rough on my tongue. The nori has that little savory kick to it. Oh Simon You know what I find amazing I find amazing that, uh, Count Dracula Enjoys sushi as well because I thought that you only drank the blood of virgins But turns out that… If I'm going to eat some food, it might as well be raw. Ah ah ah~ This is super regional for this place as well Because a lot of times you have a ginger in between each bite as a palate cleanser But this here is a cucumber that's been rubbed with salt And it's got a little bit of citrus on top of it. You can dip a little bit of salt there as well That's great I mean Cucumbers are usually just so-so but this is such a great palate cleanser When you're used to having a specific kind of sushi And then when you have some like this it breaks down Every conception you have of what sushi should be this is This is like a Renaissance of sushi This is like the introduction of James Joyce into the literary canon. This is this is art I know that you think that I'm really wanky for saying this, but this is food, art. It's It's just so good I'm just so happy. I just love my job. This is so great Final piece of the night The Tenzushi eggroll and he told us something wonderful he says it's a bit different than most places because This is inspired by what his mom used to put inside of his bento box, so this is gonna be a great piece That is great. sweet A little bit smoky as well Custardy, but still you can taste a little bit of firmness there It's like a dessert, but an egg This has been such a wonderful experience. I'm just I'm so thrilled to be here I love my life. I love this food Mmm. I don't even want to describe it. I just want to scrap how I feel I feel moved I feel inspired I want to thank Want to thank all my family and friends that got me here? I want to I want to thank the the Academy for this award and I want to thank my mama. I love you mama. I love you mama Thank you. Thank you Japan for making this kind of food. I don't think he could find anything like this anywhere else in the world Holy sh*t. This is amazing
