Experimental Insect Sushi Rolls with Miya's of New Haven: Sushi Chef
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Miya's in New Haven, Connecticut is not your typical sushi restaurant. When the restaurant first opened in 1982 by Yoshi Lai it was the first of its kind in the area, and very traditional, but when Yoshi's son Bun became involved it all changed.
From a young age, Bun was always interested in food and its impact on the environment. When he started working at his family's restaurant it became clear that he could lessen their carbon footprint by swapping out traditional sushi fish (salmon and tuna) with more sustainable options like lion fish, asian carp, and even foraged plants. Today, Miya's is a New Haven favorite where you can eat all kinds of experimental rolls, many of which use ingredients foraged and grown by Bun and his family.

I'm not so sure about the food but the dude speaks with conviction and does what he believes. Gotta respect that.
well said
agreed
In the same way a complete madman speaks about his ´timecube universe´ theory with conviction. He´s full of shit, that he believes his own bullshit is altogether less forgivable.
When it comes to plants, he's right, and many communities are affirming it. In the desert southwest it isnt unusual to cook the cactuses (nopal) or make palo verde flour. We have created a dependency on the production and manufacturing process. This detaches and desensitizes consumers from the process and impact of nurturing and harvesting resources. If you eat meat, maybe learn and participate in the graphic process from killing to butchering. If you eat plants, try eating stuff you grow. People who do tend to change their outlook on the balance of nature in America, the impact of commercial farming and industry on America's greatest waterway, the Mississippi. "Civilized" people have become too domesticated, distant, dependent, and destructive. Props to him for emphasizing this as well as battling invasive species.
And what food are you 'so sure' about? The food from macdolands or grocery stores?
As someone who has actually eaten at Miya's many times, Bun is maestro with flavor. The whole point of his restaurant is that sustainable and delicious are not mutually exclusive if you take the time to understand the ingredients and prepare them creatively. I guess it's too much to ask of some people, but this is a classic case of "don't knock it 'til you've tried it."
what are your favorite dishes? I'm going to plan a trip there soon.
Start with some Pumpkin Miso and Tokyo Fro (crispy shredded potatoes in a yummy sauce) for the table. The "Ebibaba" is a must-try: A thin roll of potato skin encasing shrimp, covered in a cow's milk cheese and lemon dill sauce. VERY good. other than that I'd say just peruse the menu and don't be afraid to be adventurous, or ask if the chefs can just whip something up for you. I used to go for "late night specials" all the time, wherein they'd just create things up with whatever was lying around, and it was pretty much always excellent.
Smart guy, he tricked everyone at his party to clean out the weeds from his garden.
LMAO so true
The stuff they were picking from their farm aren't weeds. They are legit wild vegetables that can be found in traditional rural Japanese cuisine. The word for vegetables in Japanese is yasai, written as 野菜, where the kanji literally mean wild plants or vegetables. So the concept of going out into the wilds and picking up edible plants is a big part of rural Japanese culture (at least back in the days, don't know about modern day).
+ThatMessyAsianDude weeb
jonjon jokes on you, not a weeb cause I'm Asian lol.
same thing bro
i can respect conservation. eating invasive species is a good thing.
😂😂😂😂
i respect their idea but why call it sushi...
What really defines Sushi?
Because it is?
sushi actually refers to the style of rice.
He's the same age as those white dudes?! damn lol
Note to self: eat more vegetables (also, hit the gym).
Asian guys age differently
hes ssaid he eats his greens lol fuck no its asian genes
LOL he wanted to say it.
age *better
The first time I ever had Japanese food was in this restaurant, a long time ago. Bun was a really cool guy. I'm not surprised he took this route with his food. I remember him being very passionate and pretty experimental.
So Rhett and Link were onto something?
Yes
i was gmm every and i dont get the reference? capt?
+eggmandalian they did a will it sushi last week and they tries spider sushi
+MIguel Mata ohh that! yeah spiders with seeds! tnx!
Was not that, there is an episode 1-2 years back where they talk about insects being the food of the future.
he is a cool guy because he cares
this bring back memories of our grandma taking us into the forest and showing us what we can eat and collecting wild ferns, plants and roots and than her doing her magic in making soups, dishes and medicine out of them. it's truly a dying art but so cool that you are able to share this tradition in preserving history...your mom is awesome!!!
definitely unique and interesting
Amazing. Embracing the future of food now takes guts. But, did we really need subtitles for the perfectly fluent mother?
Miya’s is an amazing restaurant. Beyond the experiments and exploration they do, the food is just very good. Some of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten have been here.
I'm Japanese and have never ever seen insect sushi rolls in Japan since I was born.
There's always so many cancer in the comment section of these videos...
the entire video is trolling
I was thinking same thing
I periodically ban comments from appearing and it makes my youtube experience so much more pleasant.
Robert Peters lol thing is all rules apply to them unless it's used against them
"ecology and conservation"
- nice, I'm on board
"wild plants are exponentially more nutritious than cultivated ones"
- u fukin wot m9? thats objectively wrong
sshh, let them think its true
God damn cringe
it's actually true for a bunch of edible "weeds". when analyzed they contain more iron, vitamin C, etc than things like spinach of broccoli or whatever. it's just harder to sell stuff that grows Everywhere.
SampaJasli If that were true, people would've commercialised the production those weeds and advertised them as having a higher nutritional content.
The only reason a weed would be more nutritional than a cultivated plant would be if the weed were hard to produce industrially but the point of cultivation is to get plants better, in which case, at some point, they'll obviously be more nutritional than weeds.
TLDR: farmers make plants better than weeds
+Jam firstly they are not weeds. Secondly the point of cultivation is to increase the calories, not the nutrients.
He looks like the older version of papa Franku tbh
was gonna comment "is he frank's? or joji's? dad?
I'd love to try this restaurant. People are so quick to judge.
Jonathan Leano count me in 😌
Jonathan Leano I'm serving shit fried rice at my house. Come get some too
The guy has a nice deep voice lol
I know this guy, he's my dad's high school friend... He's a great guy and even better chef! One word about the food after seeing all the comments about how horrible it seems: Don't knock it till you try it, it's actually very good.
Definition of sushi from google :
a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavored cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg.
So, the toppings doesn't matter, what matters is the vinegar rice.
This guy is onto something. Really cool
Best Japanese/American chef ever, knows how to contribute to life.
every time you see the KIRIN ICHIBAN emblem you know its going to be a good video !
probably one of my fav munchies
+527 N.Y.C. so it would seem you found a mate. gz
very good episode loved the dude's energy
i swear,people in these comments don't know how to analyse before commenting, do some research people.
14:52 "Nobody who ever creates anything, of any importance, ever does it without the help and inspiration of others."
A saying that means a lot to me. Good man!
this restaurant is on my bucket list. so many wonderful things going on in the new England area, I'm gonna live there one day.
i dont know he should cry or be glad after reading it
This guy seems really chill. Someone I would like to hang out with. Overall great segment!
I have eaten here several times. Passionate chef, Bun is, and his super tasty sushi is creative! If you visit New Haven, CT please visit.
I respect the whole idea of experimental sushi, the guy is doing what he wants. Some people like it some people don't. The pieces of sushi looked so damn tiny though.
I'm glad when I scrolled down, ALL of the comments reflected my views on this video & the "food" presented in it.
Jojie in like 10-20 years
Hugh J. Ness id eat at filthy franks anytime.
lol he won't be alive
Omg at 5:34 when he was standing next to his collages he looked so much younger!
This is so cool omg actually curious to try it because it looks delicious and is for a good cause, I feel that making an effort to create sustainable sushi is great and I really respect his love for nature
True Innovator who could send eating insects into the mainstream, well deserved
I spent my summers as a kid fishing Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. We were always told to keep the carp but not to eat them. I mostly ate Catfish and Bluegill.
If I go to a sushi restaurant and you serve me a weed leaf on a rice ball and try to call that sushi, there is going to be a riot.
This guy is epic! What a fantastic what to create food! Such an inspirational man with awesome stories to tell! Can't believe this handsome man is a bachelor! Ladies, GET AT HIM!!!
i wanna see an episode of kitchen nightmares where gordon ramsay comes to this restaurant
The restaurant is doing well. No need for Ramsey's help.
This is why these herbal/botany knowledge/tradition for food and medicine, is so important. Not only for sustainability but also like a survival skill...overall, great munchies :)
He has an amazing voice amirite
I don't know if I'd enjoy the food... However, I really enjoyed the episode.
I agree. The toxic commenters are what's wrong with this world. It may not be for me, but I'm not going to knock other people from trying or enjoying something that I dont
imagine your outside for a walk, all of a sudden you see a horde of people coming at you with machetes. NOPE lol
so dope growing and eating your own food. you know where its from, what soil its been in, if its truly clean or not, and it just tastes so much better. definitely try growing your own little garden
Well, it's not like people go around chemically testing their soil.
This is a really cool video. I love Bun's wholistic approach to food, food is and always will be about people.
Love the clarinet music in the background
so how many of those party guests went to McDonald's afterwards to fill up?
lol right
i like to say all, including Mr Bun
now, that's the good stuff!
so this guy invites people to his house for a party and then gives them all machetes and makes them forage for weeds, THEN they eat the weeds with balls of rice? hahahahaha what the actual fuck
"Hey did you hear, a chef is serving weeds for dinner so bring your appetite." then he brings out the rice, at least the ppl will have a full stomach lol.
Came over here because I saw a short video about them on GreatBigStory and was super intrigued! I have to say I am a little put off by some of the ingredients BUT, since they craft these recipes so carefully I would say I‘d try it :D Some of them actually look quite cool! Definitely a wonderful concept :)
That chef guy has a beautiful voice.
To those saying "It's not sushi" you will get your explanation as to why he makes it that way in the last minute of the video. He says he takes from the earliest form of sushi before it was a Japanese custom.
Would never eat that stuff, but can appreciate his sincerity
this is so cool, the true meaning of in sourcing food. I hope this trend catches on around the country.
id love to try that sushi, and thats definitely sushi and CREATIVE
You mean the rice with a leaf? Or the ones with bugs in them?
One of the best videos you all produced in this series....kudos to Bun and his family
He gives me the same vibe as Chris Traeger from Parks and Rec, if you ask him to bring a cake for a birthday party, he will bring a vegetable loaf.
that's the first time i've not been annoyed by vocal fry hahaha
Did anyone else notice that girl using the back of the machete to cut that branch? 😂 14:55
got to meet bun in new haven a while back, really cool dude. I love Miya’s the sushi is so good,it's always a good vibe.
now this is the chef I wanna meet one day. love his take on sustainable sushi menu.
These people are awesome, if I'm ever in town.
The crabs are delicious if they are the right sizes. Never try the plants but hoping to one day!!!!
Finally Asian Carp sushi is born. It's not too late. Koi-Arai.
Shiso leaf is absolutely delicious and a really unique flavor. I'd love to try this restaurant some time.
the food runner with their cell phone in their hand...also my boy Brendan used to work there!
I Love The Ideas Of These Chef. Keep It Going
if morgan freeman is not available, i would love to have this chef to narrate my life
What a daredevil chef! Very cool!
good mythical morning made a spider sushi roll last week , but good on u for being inspired by a better channel
what exactly are you arguing?
+Joey Lanning his validation for watching a shit channel
You really think gmm inspired this?? You really think this vid would take a week to make? You are one stupid fuck that knows nothing about video making
this guy is an inspiration
these type of restaurants always seem different to maintain , in regards to the farm-to-table theme.
14:44 A group of people walking around with machetes. That's funny.
Fantastic! 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾😀
I respect what he is doing, and I would consider giving the place a shot even though the few meat options on their menu are a bit more expensive than what I would want to pay for those fish. However, if I was craving sushi I think I would be pretty dissapointed going here blind. The whole reason I like sushi is because of all the delicious fresh ocean creatures. 20 bucks for carp sashimi when I could have tuna down the road...... I know where I'm going.
I really respect you Bun, even though I've never met you. Keep it up.
That was bloody intense.
Great inspiring video, you can put leaf or whatever you like and call it sushi,
This guy is awesome! He's doing a great thing!
I would loove to have a treat at this restaurant..people have to be happy trying new things,and not stick on authentic only..that's what restaurants are for. to explore)
When u haven't got food for your guests and too lazy to mow your back garden
Very innovative to lessen carbon footprint
Does anyone know if Miya's is still in business? I heard it was closing at the end of 2020.
I get a sense of Kevin Spacey in this guy
it's the voice
Uh oh
lmao
I figured Jeff Goldblum.
Respect to this business.
The dudes are like "wtf is this shit"
I can't wait to EAT THERE!
good stuff. hope to meet this man sometime
Annoyingly beautiful family. Im definitely eating more vegetables from now on :P
I can just go in my backyard and take a bite off the ground and it would be the same thing for free. But, gotta respect this guy for making money off of it.
Not really they are plants like herbs ur just a dumbass eating grass
I mean, no one would go to the bathroom sink or lawn sprinkler to get water, they'd just buy a bottle. Same thing applies here.
Interesting!!! Great Video!
I'd give it a try!
i literally love this place their foods so so good
Seems like someone I'd want to hang out with.
Wow, this guy is really something
this is rally stretching my perception of sushi..... will i try it? maybe but will i be looking forward to it? not at all... but i can see the benefits and type of customers Miya attracts... should open one at CA
his voice is amazing
Take it another step and make dirt sushi. Only $39.95 per serving. It's organic and gluten free too!
i want to see the full video
