The Sushi Chef: Oona Tempest and Toshio Oguma
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2015
- Tanoshi Sushi NYC was born from a variety of happy accidents. King Ang, the owner, happened to come across an empty space on the Upper East Side that had no kitchen-which led him to make it a sushi bar. Toshio Oguma, the head sushi chef, was finishing up work in California when his wife found a Craigslist ad for an experienced sushi chef. Now, three years later, Tanoshi is creating some of most delicious sushi in New York City (and offering the most affordable omakase).
Toshio Oguma believes the most important part of making sushi is maintaining one's 'magokoro' (true heart), which is clear in each piece of sushi he presents to his guests. This philosophy also extends to his teaching. Oguma-san will teach anybody with one condition: they have passion.Through the work of his most recent apprentice-Oona Tempest, who works behind the sushi bar-one can see that this is definitely the case. With a background in Japanese art, Oona is just one more example of a series of fortunate and random events that has led to the success of Tanoshi.

Love that he is teaching her despite the belief in japan that women can not make good sushi. And he was never rude to her. He spoke to her purely on her mistake and doubt in herself.
xpinkHOLIC ahh no wonder, come to think of it i have never seen a female make sushi
learn something new every day (Y)
xpinkHOLIC Where did you hear that?
Ifrit fucking noob
SebStorm what?
sebstorm bruhh
yeah, you dont have to say much and i know youre a virgin.
SebStorm any one who uses the word noob is for sure a Virgin and a little punk bitch.
One of the best series ever on munchies...
Mike Hunt Makes me god damn hungry every time I see it pop up though. I need a warning so I can at least go pick some up!
I agree!
Mike Hunt Is it only me, but Keep it Canada is fucking cracking! But this show is goos as well.
Mike Hunt I was just gonna say the same!
mattias hägg
Yeah I'm the same mate, matty gives something that just can't be replicated anywhere!
best munchies episode by far, because it's finally a humble one. no pretense, no trying to be as cool as possible, no hipster nonsense - just sincere and real footage. food, quality, dedication, struggles, tradition, back stories. wonderful!
As an apprentice chef myself It's interesting to see how she bounces back from mistakes. Instead of taking it personally she takes it as teaching.
I really enjoyed this episode. I would very much love to experience dining with them in their restaurant. The food and their engagement with the customers is enticing. Thank you.
T.C. McQueen Count me in' I haven't had Sushi in about 2 months. I'm dying for some soooooo bad. Every time I watch one of the episodes its like Pleasurable Torture & I can't look away.
"Don't compromise" that's a sign of artisanship.
I respect Toshio Oguma so much. He denied to serve a customer after the customer denied to taste Oona's sushi because of her being female, then asked the customer to leave.
where can we see that?
It was on Eater's video
+Michael Choe link plz
ruclips.net/video/poyFIKT4Q5c/видео.html
That is sooo cool. Good for him!
I think this is my favourite episode yet. Not only does it nail the art of sushi (like the other videos), it really digs deep and sheds light on the relationship between Sushi chef and apprentice, Sushi chef and his wife, Sushi chef and his food, Sushi chef and his staff and Sushi chef with himself. Quite fascinating dynamics.
this is a beautiful film
more of this kind of film please
***** google the film, Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
They make awesome vids like this all the time :)
+Aaron Chow Oh my gosh Jiro Dreams of Sushi is what really really got me to love the idea of Sushi. I've only had it two times but liked it and just have to get over the fact that the fish is raw. I love the taste and environment though. I think about becoming a sushi chef sometimes.
Best Sushi Chef episode so far. This really captures the sheer heart and soul that goes into this profession and a reflection of Japanese culture itself. Completely dedicate yourself to one thing and try to perfect it for the rest of your life, but humble enough to realise you will never reach perfection.
when he got pissed about the rice I got scared.
Yeah me too I was like woah, but you can tell he just wants to make sure good food is made.
Cybergig00 lol im a sushi chef and she got it easy, my old master wouldn't scold me but also physically hit me
+mickey oh did he also touch you?
Centrioless slap the back of my head or hit me with the backside of a knife or whatever he was holding at the time or he'd throw shit at me lol or yell at me to get the fuck out of the sushi bar or restaurant if i fucked up
+Cybergig00 she's so lucky with her short time in the industry and already making nigiri to paying customers.... her master really got balls
Awww he's like the father she never had.
😢
He's a dick so yeah probably true.
Explicit Tech daddy issues...the blonde wife better watch out ;)
Explicit Tech "She's like the weeb daughter I never had."
Explicit Tech LOLOOLOLOLOLOL so true.
Great to look at things from apprentice's perspective for once, interesting video.
David Grohl Hey man! How's your leg going?
If someone made a full film out of this I would totally watch it. The master-student relationship + sushi chef philosophies + beautiful shots of the sushi being prepared and the drawings of fish
What an absolutely touching episode. Thanks so much for making this available.
I really liked how this episode showed a lot more of the philosophy behind the way he teaches, and the unique way she is learning all of that in a very different era from when he trained.
Oona is an artist in every way, she was born for this and to be so fortunate to learn from a master is truly a blessing for her, go Oona!
At 14:50 When she says " I am sorry because I am going to be stubborn and stick with you for a while.."
I feel like the master is laughing , but from the inside he is attached to her , he considers her as a family member , like his daughter and wants her to stick around them for a long long time...
This makes me feel like crying...
He scolds her , he makes her understand things in the best way possible ( as he was taught everything in a very strict manner from his masters ) , he is the perfect teacher who also learns by teaching...
but he is a human being after all...
I don't know , I might be thinking a lot , maybe everything is just normal...
I have this crazy inner desire to feel that everyone loves everyone and everyone will be together and will be happy and peaceful forever and after 😊
Kaur Puneet wtf
i would also like some off the drugs
+Andrew Orr It's called 'stupidity' , I was born with loads of it and still have it intact....
+Andrew Orr If it helps in making you laugh , let me share a true story .
The head sushi chef came to my dream and I got scolded by him for being a bad customer ( and I actually felt like crying .
When in reality I don't even eat meat ,fish or egg . )
So yeah , that's the level of me being 'crazy'.
Just gonna delete the main comment in some time :P
All this is so embarrassing :P 😓
Don't delete it, it's not embararrassing I thought the same thing.
I dont eat fish(Im vegetarian) but i have so much respect for this Sensei and his apprentice,and all people who work hard to preserve traditional art and culture.There's so much wisdom in this short video.Wish it was a full length documentary!Kampai!
ウーナさんだ！
彼女の寿司に対する情熱やこだわりは、日本の寿司職人のそれである。
いつか立派になって自分の店を持って欲しいね
i love this person's philosophy "Magokoro" the customer service feeling that he has with the words he explained is very good
Tomorrow is my first day work at Japanese restaurant after city lockdown due to covid 19. Watching this video give me inspiration. Love the restaurant atmosphere, love the "friend-like" relationship between chefs and customers... and how he raise his aprentice as well.
I first eat Sushi in Vancouver 1990. And coming from London was a real experience, nothing like this ever before. So watching this is wonderful. Seeing Oona put so much love and joy in something that’s gone in a second. ( now you see it now you don’t) of course is designed to be eaten like that, but still , I could really sense and feel The sensitive emotion she has. All I can honestly say is if i get to visit NY I must go and experience sushi at munchies. Here in London a lot of this kind of food is prepared already and called sushi that’s not sushi . The old sushi Masters have to except that women have all the heart and soul to prepare sushi. Oona Tempest is proof of that...
this is just so lovely, it's moving it's passionate but it's also so humble
What I love about this episode is that it proves to show that anyone can start somewhere even if it’s your first time making sushi or anything else. On 11:01 you could see the master sushi chef showing discipline towards his own apprentice because she mixed the first batch of rice with the second batch. Little details like that matters because if you’re going to make someone great as you then you must show them the correct way and to learn from your own mistakes. No other munchies videos will show you that and a little something that goes on behind the kitchen scene.
One of the best episodes on munchies. This restaurant has so many taste and great compassion. They are very lucky to have Toshio, and Toshio is lucky to have great passionate staff. Maybe one day I can come visit from Japan. Great episode, lovely Restaurant. Thankyou
I absolutely adored this video. Love has no barriers, no walls, no limits. Love is a never-ending journey without an ending. If we could take this video clip, the pure passion you get from these chefs and everyone in the world apply it to every aspect of our daily lives... WOW. Just wow!! What a magnificent world, this Earth could be. To respect one another, to cherish one another, to have an unconditional love for all.... Perhaps this is just a dream, but the joy it would bring if this reality lived in us all. Again, I say, I absolutely adored this video!
One of the best sincere episodes so far.
Learnt a handful from this episode. Very insightful! Probably my favourite of this series.
Man would love to see a chef night's out with Toshio. The whole work environment there is amazing, including the owner.
Wonderful video - I loved the focus on detail, especially his mention of the treatment of guests. The interaction between master and student was also fascinating, so nice to see the pursuit of excellence in such a beautiful profession.
I felt so good watching that video !!! I just wanna go to this sushi bar and taste those sushi !! Speak a bit with those people !! I had a sweet and calm and warm feeling moment watching and listening those people who deeply love what they do and love people they serve.... Thank you !!
親方も良い弟子を持ったね、鍛え甲斐がある良い子だよ。
What is cool is that this could really apply to anything in life. Just finding the people out there who are super passionate about something makes other people interested in it. From brick laying to sushi making. I will admit Japanese food holds a unique position for me personally. Watching soba, udon, ramen, sushi, kare (curry), yaki (grilled food), age (fried food) masters is sublime!
I came for Sushi. I left with a Loving Father - Daughter Story. Touching!
sad life............
This is humbling to watch and also inspiring.
I felt such a resonance from the people in this video.
Especially about the genuine heart, and learning with pain.
When I'm not making sushi, my hands hurt.
I wonder if Oguma-san would be willing to take on an apprentice from Texas...
Rest In Peace, Toshio-san...
Good job, Munchies! This is a great episode! Great storytelling!
I love this videos. You are making an excellent work, inspiring people and showing the amazing world that we see when we make sushi. Really really, you can't make sushi without falling in love with its taste.
Oona is going to be a great female sushi chef one day. Keep honing the skills! I like that Oona and Toshio have this father-daughter bond going on.
My love for sushi has most definitely deepened because of this episode. I would love to one day come and eat at this sushi bar!
The way he cuts fish is oddly satisfying.
ericascag the way I cut up that pussy is satisfying too
Thank you so much for this video, it was absolutely beautiful.
Toshio is by far my most favorite chef in the series! I love the eating the basic traditional high quality sushi, not the fresh, new, fusion kinds.
Making sure to put this place on my "must visit" list next time I'm in NYC. This was a wonderful sushi episode! So far my favorite. Looking forward to meeting these chefs!
I'm glad that Oona found family and a father figure at Tanoshi Sushi. A touching story indeed.
Such a great video, i love the dedication from Toshio and especially his willingness to pass on his skills! I was an apprentice once and after seeing this i think i chose the wrong profession. Great work guys and VICE for continuing the awesome stuff that I just can't get on free to air tv.

日本では余りお見掛けしないオグマ トシオさんですが、和やかなビデオでついつい最後まで見てしまいました。仕事も丁寧でお弟子さんとの会話も和やかで良かったです。シャリもネタも美味しそうで食べてみたいですね。箸ではなく手で食べているお客様の姿はオグマ トシオの理念を感じ取れました。お弟子の若い女性は菜箸を左手で日本包丁は右手で・・・意気込みを感じました。末永く頑張って下さい。

This is a story of how a sushi chef who didn't fit in, finally created his own world that he loves. It's also the story of a wandering woman who found a vocation and a new family.
This series and this episode are some the best on all of Munchies. Great stuff.
best of the series so far!
The Sushi Chef series is excellent, great people, places and stories. And while very "indie" for my personal taste, it is delightfully executed filmography. Wouldn't change a thing.
Wow! I was moved when I watched this video.
I learned a lot from this video. Now making a food is kind of art to me.
We had the pleasure of eating here when We visited NY this June. Delicious food, informative meal, super service. A great experience as well as a delicious memorable meal.
such a lovely episode.
Sushi chefs have so much passion
I was thinking that Toshio reminded me of my dad the entire time... and then she just came out and hit me with it....
I see two things about cooking over and over again which are the absolute fundamentals of being successful at it.
First you need to love it. As it is with most things, if you don't love what you do it shows, but I feel like it is twice that with cooking. If you lack the passion and love for food, you are going to start compromising...
Which leads my to the second thing. You got to have standards and never compromise, otherwise you are setting yourself up for a quick and devastating fail...
I watched Kitchen Nightmares religiously at one point. Then started looking at other chefs (meaning other than Gordon Ramsay) and I see these two principals, standing out from anything else like pillars on which a great chef stands on.
I will never forget this as long as I'm among the living!
I am so deeply in love with this channel.
Good episode!
And I am sure she would be a great sushi chef one day. She has the right mind, right attitude and good hand coordination.
Their passion is amazing. Food looks awesome too. Will have to try next time I'm in NY
This video has inspired me so much. Now i have new hobby: watching video while making and enjoy my homemade sushi. Dreaming about someday i could make my room into a sushi counter to enjoy with my friends.
That poor girl was so emotional when it came to the subject of her father passing, she said fortunately, instead of unfortunately. At first I got confused.
I think she has a good heart, young, but good, she'll make a great mature adult for the world. It is nice to see that potential in strangers, especially in the youth.
She did say unfortunately, it sounds like she said "and fortunately" though.
Jackson Tran Ah yes, with that hesitation in her voice it came out sounding different to me. I caught it now.
she found herself a sushi daddy
Love this episode! And I fell in love with Oona xd
lovely short documenter
This Sushi Chef serie is so freaking F****ng good!
She is a great pupil. Hard working, loyal, dedicated and passionate. They are going to be an amazing team in a few years, the restaurant will have its golden era and she's already wise enough to think about carrying the tradition.
Oona left already, she has her own sushi pop up now.
wow watching these sushi chefs videos really shows how it's more of an art than it is just about eating. this is amazing.
Best episode I have ever seen here, It made me happy by just watching it.
The Sushi Chef is like he best thing to happen to Munchies, so good, hope there is more to come
What a great film, so much inspiration, I'd love to know more about those guys and that sushi bar.
I like how down to earth this episode is compared to the last two
Absolutely loved this episode! The history and present relationship of the two chefs were very similar to wasabi on a delicate piece of sushi, it added just the right amount of kick. Thank you!
best episode so far
this is an amazing series
I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Really inspiring and heartwarming. This one was really good.
thanks. I do sushi, I'm a Mexican, very poor, no education and no knowledge about fish. I'm so thankful for the place I work at. the owner teaches, shows and most of all lets me do my own sushi plating?? I thank my boss for teaching me. and I got to buy my own knives which cost from 500.00 to 2100.00. thank you Eric Chong from Hana Japanese in Louisville, Colorado.
R.I.P Mr Toshio Oguma....
from Germany
I fucking love this! Beautiful story of passion and drive that goes a lot deeper than I expected! Brava!
Beautiful, I cried.
Love this series.
Tough love is real love. Great story telling.
One of the best episode :)
Love that such fine food is made and eaten with hands :)
Speaks highly of the Chef's character that he was conditioned to receive or resort to violence during his learning and yet despite being a little mad having that much control over himself. He is a good guy, just had harsh people around him growing up.
So like why is this not like a show on TV like on the food net or cooking channel even the travel channel. I really enjoy this you-tube channel and believe it would do well on TV. But either way i shall still enjoy this channel.
Watching this as a sushi apprentice atm. I'm focus more on how they arrange the jobs in such a tiny kitchen. A little hard for staff but cozy for customers.
Im back. Thank you for the inspiration. R.I.P chef
Excellent episode!
Somewhat it feels like my experience when i use to be a Sushi Chef Apprentice. The Sifu could be hard to deal with from time to time. Keep it up!
Oona and Toshio are really Cool people! Great episode! ^ ^
Wow.. Intriguing story. Magokoro !
Gorgeously inspiring.
amazing episode
I would travel to NY just to dine with her.. What a beautiful personality she has
She seems like she's learning swiftly. Good job there lady
Talented apprentice you got there. Through her i can see that sushi is not only delicious but it can be beautiful also. Every ingredients that she described even though i dont get it but it makes me drool. And what surprised me the most she is only an apprentice for about one year!!.. and already she can make that kind of sushi. I thought apprentices must stay behind in the kitchen for several years before they can even served customers.
She left this place to go to another restaurant for a little bit (Ginza Onodera) but now she has her own restaurant with David Bouhadana
it makes so nervous when they record people that sound like they are about to cry
I like warmed wet mushy Sushi rice with Nianago or Uni , the combination is so nice !
