- Meet Shinji Hashimoto, the humble, 6th-generation owner of Michelin-starred unagi restaurant Hashimoto. This unassuming eel joint in Tokyo's Bunkyo district serves up a secret family recipe for tare sauce that dates back nearly 200 years. Read more about Hashimoto here: momentum.travel...
The simpler a dish, the harder it is to get it done to perfection. It's really impressive that a simple dish like this bowl of rice with grilled eel has won a Michelin star. It must be really delicious...
i like how you think lol
The simpler the dish, the more it shows quality of the ingredients and the preparations that went into the dish
TheAntibyte I've watched it before! I still dream of visiting that restaurant some day just to experience what sushi made in the hands of a master tastes like. Likewise, Jiro's sushi are also all very simple.
unagi is hella delicious dude. go try it.
Yeah you could say that. The sauce should be not as simple as you think but overall it is quite intuitive, all about the years of experience
This video was lovely. I appreciated how humble they seem to be despite having a coveted Michelin star.
brandonprows his mom was like 'meh' tbh lol
They've been around for 6 generations though. A newer establishment would be more thrilled to be recognized.
why should i?
joseph blake man I got chills from how edgy you are
Thank you for acknowledging Willie's good job! You are a great contributor to the site!
He seems to be a really humble man, I'm proud of him
It's definitely still you, Jules
Julian Hickman I'm sorry, I don't think that's arrogant. He implies his feeling of proud to him. I got what you say but, Arrogant means if the person show off about what they have.
EJ7 Will oh my god do you people really not get the joke? "proud" is the opposite of "humble" It's JUST a joke jesus Christ
+Julian Hickman Ironically, it's YOU who are coming across as attempting to be superior here with your entirely unnecessary batch of pedantry. It was clearly meant as a compliment.
Well being humble IS a good virtue so i don't see why not praise him? In asian culture it is always good to be humble and ppl always praise you for being humble
the sound those food containers make, like when they close the lid on it 3:12, is so pleasing.
asmr
lol
kald0rei I wish it was delivered to me.
I love this. So many Michelin starred restaurants and highly regarded restaurants have such an attitude. They always brag about have the best dish, the best ingredients, the best technique. This guys was just like "I hope they like my food. I don't want them to be disappointed." Its amazing. I really want to eat there now.
AKA the difference between westerners and easterners. Yeah, I said it.
Johnny D not at all. Depends if they're assholes or not. There are many Eastern assholes in Japan as there are in the West, except France is the most arrogant nation probably
'Easterners' is a really general term. China is eastern country, and chinese tourist are known worldwide to have a very bad attitude (not all of course). While japanese is the like the opposite of it, they are known for their manner(and once again, not all of them).
Too many self hating westerners lol. The western civilization is a great civilization, they invented things like cars, airplanes, lightbulb etc. The greatest civilization in the east is China, they invented paper, printing, compass, gunpowders, seismographs, porcelain etc. Including the mother language for east asia, hanzi. Japan did not invent but rather improved on existing products, they made cars better, cameras better and video games better. They did invent bullet trains. Instant Ramen fun fact was invented by a Chinese called Go Pek-Hok who moved to Japan and became momofuku ando. Of course, the japanese will try to hide the fact that instant ramen is invented by a Chinese as much as they can ;) Notice how the Cup Noodle museum did not mention where he was born! Shameful japan, japanese are not as honorable as you might think!

k z a chill bro, the topic is about the attitude of some Michelin star restaurants
Fun fact: at 2:11 you can see the mon (emblem) called "Maruni chigai takanoha", this mean that this man is from a samurai family.
Cool
thats cool to know
Very cool, thanks for the fun info!!
The kikuchi clan
That ending part though. it looked so good and delicate
Parts it with the sticks only, Geez. looks so gooood!
WITH A FUCKING CHOPSTICK! That was my response, legit out loud as fuck I had to yell that when I saw them do it. I want some of that Eel so fucking bad right now, I would kill 200 baby blue whales to get it.
I went here last week.
Unagi was cooked very well, extremely delicate.
Sauce was subtle so the focus was more on the natural flavor of the eel. However you need to appreciate the eel texture, don't come here just for the Michelin star or you won't like it.
Watching this while eating my instant ramen noodle, I keep saying to myself...soon...soon...soon....
me too, luckily i have a holiday to japan booked :3
Good for you man! Holiday to japan sounds fun!
well I just came back from Tokyo and I tried an Eel place at Tsukiji. Also very good.
Lol. At least, you're eating something, Bro!
Boogie Boogie exactly what im doing everyday i ate food in my teeny tiny dorm room
such a humble guy!
CK IU yes let us praise him for lowering himself!!!
That video was honestly amazing, beautiful music made it so peaceful to watch I just blinked and it was already over.
unagi is my favourite!! i wonder how this one tastes... 200 years of history, 6th generation in the business... *slurps*
mine too... if i had to choose only 1 thing to eat for the rest of my life, it´d be unagi for sure...
I came to Japan for a high-end unagi restaurant this year, a little disappointed though.
lol the mom was like "oh cool" about getting a star
Kat Aguinaldo "that's awesome, oh BTW can you get some toilet paper on the way home?"
+Sebastian Köhler Öberg HAHAHAHA
another man who inspires me. my dream of having a michelin star. someday
The piano was perfect, sound like something out a Miyazaki film, and the eel looked amazing omg.
No disrespect to the culinary world. Its the attitude and the humbleness that matters not how many stars you have. Looks at this guy and Hawker Chan and their attitude. "I hope they like my food. I don't want them to be disappointed." - Awesome
Shinji seems like a really cool and friendly guy, and that eel looked beyond delicious! Makes me want to go to Japan right now!
When will I learn that I shouldn't watch these type of videos on an empty stomach... ugh..
David Y never
David Y never ever
David Y ... don't make me shit
David Y - right?!
David Y so true and most I won't find anything as good as was watching 😂😂😂
I feel like this restaurant, and the way its owner runs it, really captures the Japanese tradition and culture: beauty through simplicity, patience and refinement
the background music is awesome
This youtube channel has provided little else that can compare to the simple majesty of this video. Three and three quarter minutes culminating in a gorgeous presentation of the finished product. Exceptional.
The simplicity of it all makes it great. No fuss shop doing what they do with attention to detail and care each day. Some great technique shown in this vid. After prep, grill, then steam, then remove bones, then grill with the sauce.
I always come back to this video so comforting
Never have I ever watched a video that felt so relaxed and familiar; everything about it, the music, video editing, and interview felt right. You've captured and showed how passionate and modest they are at what they do without any pretension. Thank you.
I never ate Unagi before, I'm not really into the Japanese kitchen. However, I like to watch this video when I'm stressed, it's so soothing. I feel much better everytime without a doubt after watching this. Thanks humble man.
Since 1845...6th generation...there's a reason they stood the test of time; attention to details, thought, and dedication in what they do, respect.
God willing one day I will be able to go to Japan and try all the culinary delights and visit all the incredible places this country has to offer.
the music though, makes it even more delicious when watching the video
this looks so fucking honest.i mean there’s something about this dish.it’s like,it gives you a sense of comfort and delight
ah I love these kinds of videos!! Just so interesting and beautiful to watch :)
Make more please and much love from Italy!
When you put heart into trying to get something right. It's not the name, not the history of the place. He just wants to serve food that doesn't disappoint. Amazing
Such a humble guy. Respect. These kind of videos can always puts a smile...
Wow. The humility of this man made the video so much more beautiful.
Every small restaurants in japan especially those in towns are so good. They all work and serve their foods with compassion and dedication. If ever u travel in japan stop by a small eatery,you'll see how amazing these tiny restaurants are.
It’s hard to find something like this eel restaurant, in the U.S. where it’s not very big, but you can tell so much pride and passion are put into the shape, the food, and the experience. I really enjoy the way Japanese business owners, small and/or large ones, run their businesses so passionately and skillfully. I wish more people in the U.S. would learn more from how people in Japan/Asia do things.
they all look so humble, i love unadon and i will totally visit this place when i visit japan :) i miss the food in japan so much.
Unagi never fails to appetite me!! The tastes of unagi is irreplaceable .i wonder how this restaurant's unagi taste like like, six generations of history. A simple dish with just eel fish coated with savory sauce, on top of hot steaming rice, would always make my day anytime anywhere!
Such a relaxing soundtrack...
*WHAT IS IT?!*
Duh Sushi Spirited Away- One Summers day maybe?
yes!!!
I can confirm it most certainly is not that, unfortunately.
No way that is from Spirited away, but thanks for the feels.
Ryuichi Sakamoto- 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
This video put me at peace. Just seeing the happiness of that man. Very amazing
I went to this restaurant 3/4 times now thanks to this video and it is worth it. Absolutely Amazing. Video is great
what matters is the taste. simple or not, if it taste great, it'll deserve a star
this video is so peacefull, just finished watching it 3 times. made me cry of happiness for them near the end
this man is so wholesome hes doing his best i love him so muuuuch
the chap talking about his restaurant sounded so genuine, like he really appreciates his own food
What a completely genuine person.
The food that make me cry . So touchy
I don’t know why, but I cried.
This video is beautiful and show me a worker who are enjoyed is work, that all but I cried.
Also, what was the music? I really enjoyed it.
(Sorry if my English is bad)
artist: Track_3k
song: Japanese Piano Ballad

Simple music for a simple meal. Perfection
The illusory of the meal when it came out of the box, it looked really good and then just from the drawing down of the chopsticks to separate the eel into what immediately turned into several portions of eel sushi, it had a umami effect in my brain...WTF I wish I could kiss the chef.
I really really love this video. The flow, the vibe, the music, the picture, the attitude, and on top of that THE UNAGI
Gosh even a regular unagi always makes me so happy, can't imagine what it's like to eat there
IKR!!
Ren Taiwan province supplies the most eel that consume in Japan. for the local eels, they are smaller than the one in this video.
I tried the dish in January. Other than being really good, fluffy, and richer in taste, it was slightly different from the unagi i normally eat (and HAPPY is such an apt word to describe the way unagi makes me feel).
From that day on, I became a lot more sensitive to unagis. Unagi still make me no less happy than before though.
GO TRY IT! AND ORDER THE LARGE DON RATHER THAN THE REGULAR. Don't go too late, their last order is something like 830. We went at 8 and they were already bringing their signs back indoors.
rmier eel reproduce in the ocean you can not mass Produce them afaik
I went in January, I don't think they have the regular on the menu any more, I think it's only large now... but I went during lunch time, I'm not sure
every time i see sth about japan that always put such harmonizing music.
This video was beautiful in so many aspects. What a great and humble owner.
I always watch this video when I'm hungry. But the beauty if this is just amazing. The comfort the video offers is so warm, that it makes you want to visit
This is making me crazy. Humble charm on top of amazing food just isn't fair.
I'm happy for them & I wish them many more successful years .
I surprised myself and startled my roomate because I screamed at how easily those chopsticks just glided through the eel.
that was so satisfying to watch...
I really love this video from every aspect..videography, naration, backsound, scene, everthing is just perfectly made
That looks fabulous! The Japanese seem to have a unique ability to make 'simple' dishes look so elegant and taste amazing.
Beautiful, they don't understand the importance of their achievement. They.just continue doing what they were doing and considering it normal, but everything is so majestic.
That dish looks absolutely delightful.
Idk why but this almost brought me to tears
This video is so relaxing and satisfying... anyone else?
this guy is so chill
The dish looks so beautiful.
Absolutely love it!! That simplicity. Such modesty. Makes my insides all mushy-gooey.
03:18 I pause the video and I keep watching this beautiful image. Speechless.
The soothing piano in the background helped so much lol
Mannnn!!! I didn't want it to end!
Beautifully taken with a beautiful soundscape.
The elegant box. Such a simple combo: eel & rice. I so wanted to taste it - looked so tasty.
That rice looks amazing.
So soft.
only in japan! wonderful
vale oha visit Holland one day... smoked eals is a dutch speciality.
Also raw ones.
I would love to eat here
its nearly perfection, totally inspiring. how they treat food unlike any other country .. respect!
why was this so comforting i feel like i could be a dishwasher in japan and it'd be the most fulfilling existence ever
Great video from music to the different camera angles.
What a beautiful soothing video for the end of the day. Eating cottage cheese while watching this though...
Cutting Eel with a chopstick and that little amount of effort is incredible. I really hope I can eat here one day.
God, I love the music along with the story, it's so peaceful.
I just finished eating a huge meal and watching this made my mouth watered.... I'm really hungry for this....
I love unagi... definitely going there next time I'm in Tokyo
Shinji Hashimoto seemed like a super chill dude! I'd like to have a beer with him!
I hope this channel grows, so that I can enjoy more pleasing foods from around the world
This is the reason why there so many tiny restaurant with michelin star rating in Japan. They cooked everything passionately, as if they are creating a work of art.
That was actually beautiful, thank you for this video.
This place is fantastic! if you ever decide to go, make sure you show up early to grab a seat. A friend and I made it during lunch (11:30 AM) and they sold out right after us! It was sad to see people being turned away but that made the unagi that much more satisfying!!! 10/10 would go again.
Actually always liked eel whenever they were served as a kid when I lived with my extended family in Taipei, Taiwan and in Hong Kong, ¨GB¨ (1995) China.
He enjoys his work more than as a business..love it
Wow. Probably the most beautiful video I've seen in a while.
Went there early Jan this year, best trip I ever took as a family
Went again 2nd September 2019, still in love with it
This is what beauty is to me.
2020 i will visit japan and i will be stopping here! Love unagi!!
Very humble man and a very elegant presentation.
I bet it tastes divine!
Instead of having some actors expressing how delicious the food is, this incredible introduction has grabbed my appetite
This was so beautiful with that anime ost in the background I almost cried
my favorite dish eel over rice. yum
Beautifully shot and exited. Bravo.
the neighborhood in the intro looks like the one from midnight diner show
ermergerd, it is
So humble
