+a lot of Japanese language knowledge + sushi knowledge
He is making it easy to understand for the over weight grimey Americans
why does every tutorial have a rice cooker?
This was very informative and I have done a class before but you showed me very cool techniques and my sushi turned out great!
omg i never thought it would be that complex. in my mind, you make a rice ball, put a piece of fish on it, and you are done.
I'm not gonna do all that I am going to just put the fish on the rice whatever. these techniques are cool but really advanced.
What a great video. Well paced but thorough. I learned a lot! Thanks!
I never had sushi, but i am REALLY looking forward to eating this.
Thank You
