    Love how “real” he is. He doesn’t want to force his son to be a sushi chef and doesn’t want that for his grandkids either since as he said he won’t be alive.

      Totally agree with you, bcoz we asians always wanted our sons supasses us in a manner that they didnt know. And we are extremely happy if they do that with humility and being humbled enough.

      Compare to some non-Asian fathers that keep touting how great their kids are and they went on to become some psycho path killer and then say "I didn't know he was like that, and I didn't raise him that way." You just did because you never make them own up to their mistakes or push them to become better.

    I was lucky enough to eat Kawasaki san’s sushi when I visited Honolulu earlier this year - I must say, it was one of the best sushi I’ve had and I’ve been to many Sushiya all over Japan.
    Kawasaki san knows how to entertain his guests and I felt very comfortable enjoying his creations (some sushiya can be a bit uptight)

    • @Boskimiszcz007
      @Boskimiszcz007 4 года назад +2

      So is Alaska and South Pole. I'm an expert but I would say it is because of a different sea currents that are flowing through Pacific Ocean, which affect water temperature, different sea flora and thus different conditions for fish to live. As the chef mentioned fishes taste depend on what it eat during its life so that would explain the quality difference but I'm also quite sure it's not exactly 100% the same fish that live near Japan and Hawaii.
