My favorite part about Japanese cooking

  1. It looks really good but idk why they'd use the word "horse?" In the USA, it's legal to use horse meat without telling people. I don't eat frozen entrees that contain "hamburger" or other "meat" for that reason.

  2. you have no idea how confused I was hearing as a spanish speaker that isnt fully fluent in bot japanese and english when I heard you say the name of the restaurant because I though it was 味 for flavor since I havent heard the name of that fish before and didnt know what mackrere means either, for a moment I though it was a joke about horse meat

  3. I don't know if I like horse mackerel, but if I was asked the question in that format I would certainly go find out.

  4. If you ever truly can't film in a restaurant, and the food is exceptionally good or bad, it would be hilarious and/or super cool to have you pay an animator to represent the experience 😄

  5. I feel like "simplicity elevated to near protection" could describe most of what I've seen when it comes to Japan. 🫡 🇯🇵

  6. I like crazy flavor combinations (other than ones that make a tuba start playing when I go into a Burger King). But sometimes, super-practiced versions of what should be basic meals can really do the job.

  7. I now want to know how I somehow missed this place while I was in Japan…it sounds exactly right up my alley. I love horse mackerel.

  8. When I was in japan most recently for work / vacation, I tried to vary what I ate each day and avoid overlapping (to experience maximum food variety) but if it wasn't for that rule I'd have eaten nothing but aji fry teishoku and become more fish than man

  9. the restaurant's name is genius btw

    since both horse mackrel and flavor/taste can be read as Aji in japanese

    are you alright? is someone holding you at gunpoint??

  11. Do I need to send Niquil?!? 😢 I know I probably can't, but I want broski to be healthy always. 😭😓 Much love man. Thank you so much for being an absolute legend! ♥️

  12. I checked the Tabelog reviews on this restaurant to see if it’s any good.

    It’s rated 3.58, which, in my opinion, is very good.

    So let me explain how the rating system in Japanese review websites work.

    The so-called “good” restaurants don’t go beyond the median. Deserving restaurants (like the one on the top floor of the Skytree) are rated “higher” but it means it loses out on other things.

    If you want to visit a good restaurant, according to Japanese standards, go for 3.5. These restaurants offer five things:

    1. No crazy reservation requirements needed.
    2. Price is reasonable without being overly complicated on its preparation.
    3. It meets the food pyramid requirements as most Japanese people were taught in schools.
    4. It prepares exactly one type of food well and very few other things.
    5. The interior is neither gaudy nor dilapidated.

    So yes, do come, but be reasonable. If there’s too many people queuing up go elsewhere, or reserve. Places like these do like when there aren’t hordes of people coming to rush in like a Zerg rush.

  13. ye… I concur. As a west-coast chef seeing all these foods, from your channel and others…

    Simplicity delivered with Elegance & Refinement.

  14. Unfortunately, I do not like horse mackerel I had it in Japan. It’s just the fishiest of flavors that you could possibly have a fried piece of fish. I like sushi and sashimi just not horse mackerel.

  15. I'm starting to think these restaurants put up the "you can only film food" sign especially for japaneat

  16. Lol. I think you mean John Hancock not John Henry. Hancock is the one famous for his large signature on the constitution and declaration of independence.
