Bro appreciate you opening up about your family and how things worked out. I hope you keep doing well.

Imagine coming to the comments thinking you know how to butcher fish better than Taku.

This vlog was so heart warming. Mitsuki is so cute, the joy in her face while fishing and the entire family enjoying the meals..🫶🏼 priceless. Hope you & jocelyn enjoy much more of your stay in Japan, Taku!

I’m so impressed with your skills and what you brought to the table. As a half Japanese and cook, what you did was impressive. There aren’t many folks at the sushi level that would have produced what you did. Kudos from AZ.

First time I heard about your family situation from Japan to the US. Thanks for sharing and great to see you enjoying your time with your dad's family in the Japan.

Your dads love for fishing runs through and mitsuki’s blood. So awesome to see her following your footsteps and I know it’s making your pops spend quality time with her too

So cool to see you bonding with your family while doing something you all love and exploring the motherland 🇯🇵 Also... I ❤ the small knife bag I got 🙏 I feel like my knife skills have significantly improved with my purchase 😂

Hey Taku! Just wanted to say that because of you guys' amazing videos, I've just recently started fishing myself and I'm loving it! Thanks for all the great videos :)

It was interesting to learn more about your family. I've been watching your channel on and off since you had 50k subs (brought by a collab with Hiro - diaries of a master sushi chef), but recently a lot more while recovering from a medical procedure. I love to cook for my family and it's just awesome to see a family sit down, interact, and have a good meal together. I like how you made it special with all the plating and chef tricks.. (hopefully not just for the youtube). Edit: And another thing. Your sister will remember this fish you prepared so nicely. Because she caught it and it was made into something really tasty. When I was a kid, I caught some really small fish that most people would release as they are just all bone. But my mom fried them up, and I thought it was the best thing ever. 25 years later and I am still very fond of that memory.

Love how your sister enjoyed it! It's always great when the kids enjoy the cooking, everyone loves seeing kids eat up.

You’ll look back on this trip for the rest of your life friend 🫡 happy you get these moments with family

Your sister is so cute! I love seeing your family on the channel, I'm glad you got to visit them. Hope you and Jocelyn enjoy your trip in Japan!

Thank you for including us in your beautiful family setting; you guys never fail to create a feeling of inclusion that you just don't get in other channels. I feel like I'm right there with you and smiling along with you and your family, and that is something that is irreplaceable

Sitting here with my daughter who I don't always get to see. Thanks for spending time with your dad. It must have been excruciatingly painfull for them to lose eachother like that.

I could watch you break down fish all day. Your skill is a beautiful thing.

Japan looks awesome nothing can beat fresh seafood

Such great memories , reminds me of going fishing with my grandfather in Turkiye when I was young and we would visit from Canada. I had the bes time waking up at 4am going down to the row boat and rowing ou in the ocean and jigging of mackerel and picking mussels from rock out in the ocean close to shore. Kind of got a bi emotional watching this and seeing its. Thanks for sharing .

I’d say the Japanese are probably the pinnacle of fishing cultures. A lot of different people groups have some fishing techniques we can all learn from, but the Japanese know how to make masterpieces out of just a few materials and it is always awesome to watch and marvel at it all

Bless you ,for being a respectful person to cook for your Dad and everyone. I enjoyed watching every second of it!

thank you for releasing this after probably the hardest final I have ever taken it is very calming

It's so refreshing to watch. The fish are so beautiful and pretty over there. Was really enjoyable to watch.

What a wonderful time with the family. Thanks for bringing us along!

The presentation of the large platter adorned with the blue finned fish posed so energetically was a real high point. A family meal is great in any language! Thanks!

nice to see you with family. Jocelyn looks happier in this video too

Thank you for sharing your family story. So happy that you are spending quality time with your family. Your sister looks very happy to be out fishing with you. Keep up the great content!!

What a life! Heaven on Earth. Doing what you love with the family is priceless! Always looking forward to your content. Have a wonderful time

Amazing content as always. Planning to go to Japan next year with my wife and kids can’t wait to explore ❤️

Your very lucky to hang out with your father and family. ! And cook for them too. Good times brother. !!

Great video Taku! It’s awesome that we’ve been able to spend time with your family in Japan. The meal you prepared looked beyond delicious. And no doubt that your little sister has stolen many hearts, she is very cute. Thanks for sharing!

Man taku is the real deal. I don't know how to cook, so i am blown away by the variety of dishes that he cooked up and the different techniques that he used to prepare the fish. That just shows his prowess.

So happy to see someone cleaning fish the way I do. I worked as a sushi chef for 10 years and I was trained by Japanese chefs. I love to cut fish the same way you do. Debas and chef knives rule.

Great episode as always, Taku. You've got a beautiful family.

Great to see and meet your family that are in Japan. Love the obvious bond your father and little so adorable sister have. Thanks for letting us join your family on this journey Taku. You're da bomb bro.

its so lovely to see you hanging out with your family in Japan.

I just wish I had your knives! Maybe give us a knife sharpening class someday ? Also? If possible I really love seeing how you process the entire fish in videos. From bleeding out to table. I know you’ve done it in the past but I feel it’s a huge part of “Catch and cook”. Cheers, Taku. I absolutely love your videos.

🔥🔥🔥 episode Taku, and the presentations were spectacular Brotha 🫡! Loving the series, and thank your family for us please for being on the channel. 🍻cheers to you and Jocelyn, enjoy your time there. Keep bringing the excellent content y’all 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

I've really liked these videos with your family, it's nice to hear you speaking Japanese with her. I hope you get to visit them again sooner than 4 years from now

That sounds like a hard thing to go through as a child. Thanks for sharing that and your special time with your family with us. It always blows me away how you're able to plate so beautifully!

TIGHT LINES🎣

🌴 Hey y’all, I gotta say as much as I love all the places and adventures you two took us to I absolutely love it when your in Japan, there’s something like I see you more in your element you seem in tune with everything , the family being there and Jocelyn melts right in with you , the fish and plating were bad azz, you should do a vid on Japanese knives while your there if you can, inflatable boats and fishing hooks 😳scary ! 👊🏼✌🏼

You have a sweet family. You’re blessed

I’m so sorry your family got split up. Seems to be working out well tho. Your little sister is adorable. Another great video. All the best.

Taku, thank you for this video it was a blessing 👍

Thank you for sharing!

nice fam trip!

This is one of those channels that I have such respect for that I click the ♥️ button BEFORE I watch the video. Thank you for sharing your family’s story about how you came to the US. I feel sad for what happened to your dad and that it spit your family up.

I didn’t know. Heartbreaking story for your parents beautiful sacrifice they made for their kids. Little sis is adorable. *Good tear*

Great Vlog ❤️

Happy for you brother- good stuff. 👍

First, I’ve finally made something of myself.

Thanks for sharing part of your personal life❤

Every time I hear that bell tone it reminds me of my childhood. Growing up in Hawaii with all the cultures intermingling.... The Japanese side was dominant. Awesome vid Taku.

You’re an artist!! 🐠
