    They kind of miss translated the shellfish thing. He said whoever that decided to eat shellfish for the first time ( as in the first person in the human race) must be adventurous and weird.

    I can listen to Sushi Chef Tatsuya speak for hours on end. He's so very informative and gives plenty detail about each fish, an interesting fact behind it, and more. Very enjoyable watch!

    9:48 They don't translate this part because he explains his idea for smoking Spanish mackerel came about after he'd had too many poorly tasting ones in America.
    Also, I don't understand why they went with that translation at 9:51-9:57, as he really says something along the lines of "During serving, we smoke the fish in front of the customers, but for prep we keep it in this box"

    *Seppuku* For anyone who might not already know, this is a Samurai practice. Seppuku was used either voluntarily by Samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely be tortured), as a form of capital punishment for Samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed because they had brought shame to themselves. It is a ritual suicide in which the Samurai takes their own sword or dagger and plunges it deep within their own bellies. *Ouch* !!
