He has a great, fun vibe; but you can tell he takes his work seriously. Lightly dusting fresh grated wasabi off into that bowl of noodles and then seeing it made my mouth water. His dishes look simple, but there's an elegance to them. Just amazing.
Some of the Sushi chefs I see in youtube videos intimidate me, they seem so stoic, so traditional and refined to the point of being just a tad scary- but this fellow gives off such a friendly warmth! I would not be too intimidated or scared to eat at this chef's restaurant, he seems like such a kind person and yet also very professional.
Yeah, he's actually good for the hospitality industry. Like if he were a bartender, you'd definitely be more likely to be a regular in that bar. If he ran an izakaya, where he was cooking and talking to customers, he'd have a long line of regulars.
Yoya is like one of the coolest dudes! His friendly and joking personality remind me a LOT of Miyavi. Like they could be cut from the same stone. I think they're both so cool.
He's more modern now the way he talked and the way he communicate he's relax and have humour too I liked the way he prepare all the fish for his sushi restaurant it's all delicious .
I stayed a week in Kyoto and then a week in Osaka. Let me tell you that regardless of how close together they are, they are waaaay different. He's entirely not lying. Lmao. Osaka is crazy by comparison.
He's awesome! Also I don't know why he spoke in Japanese so much because his English is actually very good albeit hard to understand without the subtitles just due to his accent. Cool dude for sure and his food looks delicious.
The Tsumoto method is a technique that is starting to become the standard in Japan, starting with RUclips, and it greatly improves the taste of fresh fish. Immediately after the fish is brought ashore, the guts and blood, which are prone to decomposition and oxidation, must be removed as soon as possible. By completely draining the blood from the fish, the flavorful ingredients remain in the fish's muscles, which greatly improves the taste of the fish for sushi.
I still think he could make it as an actor. He has a great on camera presence. I say he could start as a gang leader for Yakuza in a John wick like film.
Japanese language is useful, and a relatively easy language to pick up the basics, I would suggest to learn the basics of Japanese to visit Japan during ur lifetime at least once, Japan is a beautiful, safe, clean, orderly and welcoming place for all visitors..

I love listening to him.
I love watching him preparing his unique dishes.
As he grows older, his personally and stories are forever memorable.

I think that's grated yuzu rind. Wasabi would look very wet and mushy by comparison.

But look at me”
LMFAO 😂😂😂 you’re a effing star mate

Maybe because
His voice's so soothing for grandpas telling his gdandchild some legendary stories
“ I have a loud voice, I want my own path” I love that so much!
He aged, but still as wholesome as ever
Just like good whiskey
I don't know why, but watching this video makes me happy
5:24 “kind of sad about eating your pet fish after it grows up”
5:26 **evil laugh**

Yoya San- one of the coolest ever! So much love and respect for this man.
I remember him from Chef's Night out!!
He also tasted grocery store sushi on Buzzfeed. He's really humble and not stuck up.
that episode was so good!
Yoya is like one of the coolest dudes! His friendly and joking personality remind me a LOT of Miyavi. Like they could be cut from the same stone. I think they're both so cool.
would love to try it grilled some time. hopefully next trip there.
Dude is a LA legend! I found out about him a few year ago through munchies. His birthday vlog was the best
6:49 just hearing the tattoo explanation, I’m guilty of “just getting a tattoo”😂😂💯
I love his energy
Is so nice to see someone love their job so much...
He's more modern now the way he talked and the way he communicate he's relax and have humour too
I liked the way he prepare all the fish for his sushi restaurant it's all delicious .
Hats off to camera man for An awesome camera angle that makes interesting to watch
What a humble and nice guy! I’d be honored to taste his sushi!
He looks like a gangster turned Japanese chef.
Guess it’s opposite
This guy is just great! :D Has a great smile too! I hope he continues to do well doing sushi.
His voice is awesome
津本式やってるんですね！最高！
魚の質も良いですね〜
Have been to Osaka and Kyoto, both are wonderful places for traveling
The more you shake...the lucky you are.. that there made my day!
Master of his craft. What an impressive spread.
I have to say I hate seafood it's made me sick in the past but seeing the love and dedication someone puts into it makes me want to try it anyway
Beautiful video! Well done again, Eater team!
I stayed a week in Kyoto and then a week in Osaka. Let me tell you that regardless of how close together they are, they are waaaay different. He's entirely not lying. Lmao.
Osaka is crazy by comparison.

Man
My favourite Sushi chef
“Zero star...minutes zero star or something”
😂
"avocado pretty nice"
I remember this guy from sushi review video on the buzzfeed channel. Took me a while to recognise him though
Yeah he aged rapidly since then
I think he did a couple more for BF.
Cool guy, didn't just dismiss all grocery store sushi.
He seems like very friendly and good person
Feel like i have grown up with this guy after seeing multiple videos of him
He's awesome! Also I don't know why he spoke in Japanese so much because his English is actually very good albeit hard to understand without the subtitles just due to his accent. Cool dude for sure and his food looks delicious.
Mike O'Barr japanese culture bro they can speak Eng but respect their mother language, so we all have subtitle
Wow. He is wonderful.
I would love to go to that restaurant and chat and laugh with him!
How the atmosphere changes on 8:04 wow, we're in for some treats!
He is so amazing
Oooo! It's "that" guy! Who used to work that that restaurant. I absolutely loved that video

HE....is AWESOME!!!
津本式やってらっしゃるんですね、すばらしい。
魚の血生臭さを取りつつ魚本来の美味しさが引き立ちますね。
主人からの魚料理へのこだわりが見えますね。
貧乏でアメリカにはそうそう行けないけど主人のお店で食べてみたいな。
please come to America and visit the restaurant!
@@neohubris yeah! Thank you.
I really want visit the restaurant.
6:58 anyone noticed that little laugh ?
7:18 and that smiley tattoo?!
👁️👄👁️
Everytime I see sushi chefs introducing the fish, I'm always like do I need a phD in marine biology to become a sushi chef?😂
He Zhang
Probably.
I mean don't they also deal with poisonous fish and different recipes also so maybe you do need to know your fish first
He resembles Gorobei in Seven Samurai classic film haha.
A bit goofy too and good vibes.
Naisu vid!
This guy is in 9/10 sushi videos I've seen
DAMNNNN finally the world coolest suchi master!!!!
AMAZING
He's Back!
He's like an anime grandpa who's a sushi chef by day and a gangster by night
why am I watching this at 00:00 hour!?......Now I'm craving for sushi -_-
Love this! ❤️
God i miss Japan........
congratulations...excelent
I still think he could make it as an actor. He has a great on camera presence. I say he could start as a gang leader for Yakuza in a John wick like film.
你从洛杉矶还是那里来纽约看👀我有心了，做寿司还要向你学习，如果有幸请多多指教。。
Man thats awesome
Oh I remember him from the other video, where he tried those packed sushi🤣
really like to try princess snapper tempura ...
AWESOME
Holy cow, he sounds a lot older than when buzzfeed have him at their show
I wanna share a beer with this man.
"the more you shake the more luck comes in"
Well that won't be hard if it's the right hand.
MORE
that is all
Just MORE of this guy
Buenísimo 👏
I should go to Japan and open up a Texas bbq joint .
I rmb him from his last vid...
"Shark hearts" haha
Very nice
man that meaning behind the tatto on his hand tho
for real tho
Feel like i should get a similair tattoo since i shake that hand quite often.
@@HerstalP90 Since every shake is good luck then your dreams are about to come true!
Andy Daniel he means fapping
I wish he was my grandpa so he can make me as many sushi as i want.
Anybody know the name of that thing being grated on top of the noodle dish at 8:36?
Gracias
Amazing. Yoya is one of the best sushi chefs in LA!
Me: Mom, can we learn the Macarena dance ?
Mom: No, we already have the Macarena at home.
The Macarena at home: 6:52
Cola and beer joke got me xD
Rare to see an older Japanese guy with so many tattoos! They're still really frowned upon by a lot of people over here
Japanese language is useful, and a relatively easy language to pick up the basics, I would suggest to learn the basics of Japanese to visit Japan during ur lifetime at least once, Japan is a beautiful, safe, clean, orderly and welcoming place for all visitors..
i like this guy. the title of this video does him a disservice. he's the only human out of the entire omakase series so far.
What makes the other guys inhuman?
