“They say Kyoto is traditional ... But look at me” LMFAO 😂😂😂 you’re a effing star mate

5:24 “kind of sad about eating your pet fish after it grows up” 5:26 **evil laugh**

He aged, but still as wholesome as ever

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.

His voice's so soothing for grandpas telling his gdandchild some legendary stories

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

damn he is like the grandpa you wished you had where you listen to his stories in the fireplace during winter

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.

I don't know why, but watching this video makes me happy

“ I have a loud voice, I want my own path” I love that so much!

I remember him from Chef's Night out!!

He's the legend that rolled the epic sushi blunt

Ate here back in February on a weekend trip to LA. Great meal, friendly chef, and relaxed atmosphere.

He looks like a gangster turned Japanese chef.

Dude is a LA legend! I found out about him a few year ago through munchies. His birthday vlog was the best

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.

6:49 just hearing the tattoo explanation, I’m guilty of “just getting a tattoo”😂😂💯

I love his personality and smile! What a delight

Yoya San- one of the coolest ever! So much love and respect for this man.

would love to try it grilled some time. hopefully next trip there.

What a humble and nice guy! I’d be honored to taste his sushi!

I love his energy

This guy is just great! :D Has a great smile too! I hope he continues to do well doing sushi.

“Zero star...minutes zero star or something”

The more you shake...the lucky you are.. that there made my day!

Love this! ❤️

This food looks amazing

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.

I remember this guy from sushi review video on the buzzfeed channel. Took me a while to recognise him though

Master of his craft. What an impressive spread.

Oooo! It's "that" guy! Who used to work that that restaurant. I absolutely loved that video

awesome 👏 everything is wonderful I love 💖 you channel and love 💖 your food too

His voice is awesome

Have been to Osaka and Kyoto, both are wonderful places for traveling

He seems like very friendly and good person

the grilled amadai nyumen looks awsome

He is so amazing

Wow. He is wonderful.

DAMNNNN finally the world coolest suchi master!!!!

My favourite Sushi chef

Fascinating man and video Thank you

"the more you shake the more luck comes in" Well that won't be hard if it's the right hand.

It was fun watching

I would love to go to that restaurant and chat and laugh with him!

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

MORE that is all Just MORE of this guy

Man thats awesome

he really enjoy his cooking

lmao the hammer tattoo was the best part !

He's Back!

AMAZING

How the atmosphere changes on 8:04 wow, we're in for some treats!

More of Yoya!

HE....is AWESOME!!!

He resembles Gorobei in Seven Samurai classic film haha. A bit goofy too and good vibes. Naisu vid!

I rmb him from his last vid... "Shark hearts" haha

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'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.

AWESOME

The first "Happy Sushi Maker" i saw.. 😊😀😄😃😆😂🤣

Oh I remember him from the other video, where he tried those packed sushi🤣

Holy cow, he sounds a lot older than when buzzfeed have him at their show

Very nice

I wanna share a beer with this man.

This guy is in 9/10 sushi videos I've seen

Feel like i have grown up with this guy after seeing multiple videos of him

4:23 man, that story made me sad lol glad he's thriving now!

You already know he wanted to the best yankee sushi chef ever. KAKKOIIII Yoya Takahashi sama.

Other japanese chefs have the aura of a samurai master while this guy is chill

I wish he was my grandpa so he can make me as many sushi as i want.

congratulations...excelent

Buenísimo 👏

man that meaning behind the tatto on his hand tho

Wow!

Anybody know the name of that thing being grated on top of the noodle dish at 8:36?

Cool guy

Ayyyyy Yoya

Cola and beer joke got me xD

really like to try princess snapper tempura ...

COOL !!!!!!

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。

I miss him

How Jedi Master Yoda trained his farm-boy style Jedi Knight.

오 ㅋㅋ 츠모토식 궁극의 치누키가 미국까지 건너갔네요

8:55 the man has a smiley face tattoo :)

Me: Mom, can we learn the Macarena dance ? Mom: No, we already have the Macarena at home. The Macarena at home: 6:52

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。。

Can anyone tell me what kind of lime he serves with the tempura?

I should go to Japan and open up a Texas bbq joint .

The Tsumoto method is a technique that is starting to become the standard in Japan, starting with KZfaq, 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.

Sugoii.
