A Michelin-Starred Restaurant! Torishiki, the Most Difficult Yakitori Restaurant in Japan to Get a Reservation For! This video is a documentary on the yakitori restaurant "Torishiki," a restaurant just a few minutes away from Meguro Station in Shinagawa, Tokyo, which was introduced in a BS Fuji production of "Palais de Z - The Future of Deliciousness." The video is narrated and facilitated by Masahiro Takashima. Yoshiteru Ikekawa, the owner of Torishiki, was originally a businessman. On his birthday, he visited the famous yakitori restaurant "Toriyoshi" in Nakameguro, Tokyo, with his then wife. The visit had a profound impact on him and at the age of 27, he quit his job and entered an apprenticeship. After less than seven years of training, he started his own business at the age of 34. Torishiki's yakitori is grilled with binchotan charcoal and finished with 50 year old sauce, chicken fat, sake, soy sauce, soup stock, and olive oil, all of which he learned to utilize during his apprenticeship. The yakitori is so popular that it has been called the "most difficult yakitori restaurant in Japan to get a reservation for." Torishiki was awarded one star in the Michelin Guide just three years after becoming an independent restaurant. Currently, he and his like-minded companions have formed a group called "Yakitori Tatsujin" (yakitori experts) and are focusing their efforts to share yakitori with the world. They also have a store in Manhattan, New York, which was introduced in the video, where they operate under the name "Torien."

Eiichi Ueda, the sushi chef from Ginza, who is also the star of this video, was fascinated by anago, and says that when he purchases anago at Tsukiji fish market, he uses anago caught off the coast of Haneda in Tokyo Bay, and through this, we get an understanding of his dedication to his craft. A Commitment to the Art of Japanese Cuisine Source :YouTube screenshot One of the reasons why Japanese food is as popular as Western food around the world is because of its artisan's extraordinary attention to detail. In this video, Mr. Ueda mentions the significance of the process of buying fish from a trusted supplier, processing it himself, and cooking it using time-tested cooking methods. He is committed to cooking Edomae Anago, and the pride of being a craftsman of Japanese food, is the reason why Japanese food has become one of the most popular gourmet foods in the world today. The Merits of Japanese Food Source :YouTube screenshot The beauty of Japanese food lies in the preparation of each and every ingredient. The pride and responsibility to devote time, effort, and gratitude to every ingredient served to the customer, and to cook with the pride and responsibility of a craftsman is considered to be the essence of Japanese cuisine.

千葉由美さんは全国でも珍しい女性の寿司職人 この動画は「Eater」が公開した静岡県清水区で寿司職人として活躍する千葉由美(Yumi Chiba)さんにインタビューを行った「How Master Sushi Chef Yumi Chiba Perfected Tamago — Omakase Japan」です。 寿司は日本のグルメの歴史の中で日本食・和食を代表するほどの食べ物になった。 現在では世界中に寿司職人が存在しており、日本人のみならず、世界中の日本食・和食好きに愛されている。 しかし寿司職人の多くは男性であり、女性の寿司職人を見ることは殆どない。 静岡県清水区で江戸前寿司をもてなしているグルメ店「魚竹寿し」の女性の寿司職人・千葉由美さん。 日本食屋・和食屋では非常に珍しい女性の板前である千葉由美さんだが、その職人技は男性顔負けであり、魚を捌く様子は真剣なそのものだ。 女性の寿司職人が少ない理由とは? 寿司職人のグルメの歴史において「寿司は男性が握るもの」という考え方は古くより存在している。 これは「女性の高い体温では握りを作る際にネタが傷んでしまう」と言われていたためである。 もちろんこの考えは根拠が殆んどなく、女性より体温の高い男性はいくらでもいる。 しかしながら、日本のグルメで古くから信じられてきたこの考えは寿司職人業界で「女人禁制」という文化を定着させているのも事実だ。 現在、寿司を提供している日本食屋・和食屋において、世界的なグルメ本『ミシュランガイド』に掲載されている店は400店以上もある。 しかし、それらのお店で女性の寿司職人はたった1人しかいないほどだ。 千葉由美さんの作る寿司へのこだわり 千葉さんが代表取締役を務める「魚竹寿し」では、伝統的な江戸前寿司を提供している。 寿司はもちろんのこと、旬のネタや新鮮な魚介類・海鮮を使った「お造り」も人気のグルメだ。 なかでも寿司を中心に日本食・和食に欠かせない厚焼き玉子(玉子焼き)は、千葉さんが最も時間をかけるグルメだ。 その製法は消えるような弱火でじっくりと玉子を焼いていく、昔ながらの作り方である。玉子を焼き終わるのに1時間以上もかかるという。 海外でも愛される日本食・和食の文化の紹介まとめ 日本食・和食は世界中のグルメで愛されている料理だ。 特に生魚を食べる文化のない海外においては、魚の刺身や寿司は口にする機会がなく、本場の寿司を食べるために日本に旅行に来る方も少なくはない。 寿司は日本が世界に誇るグルメであることは間違いないが、「女人禁制」という閉鎖的な考え方も並列して存在している。 最近では女性が日本食・和食の板前になることも増えつつあるが、まだまだ数は少ない。 女性の板前だからといって味が落ちることはない。女性の板前を見かけても否定的にならず、好意的に捉えることが、これからの日本食・和食のグルメの促進につながるだろう。 -

In the video, Yuyu, the mascot of the local Tourist Association, will show you around all the top spots. Yuyu falls in love with a beautiful woman in the video (at 1:30). Let’s learn about sightseeing at Hirayu hot springs, while following what happens to Yuyu’s love! Hirayu Onsen: A White Monkey Showed Takeda's Army Where It Was? Find Out the Secret History of Hirayu Onsen! Source :YouTube screenshot The Okuhida Hot Springs area of Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture is famous in Japan for its plentiful snow. This hot spring area consists of the Fukuji Hot Springs, Shinhirayu Hot Springs, Tochio Hot Springs, Shinhodaka Hot Springs and the Hirayu Hot Spring, the oldest hot spring in Okuhida. Hirayu Onsen was established in the Age of Civil War called the Sengoku Period (1467~1615). They say that the hot spring was found when a white monkey showed the exhausted Takeda Army where the hot spring was. Takeda's men recovered immediately after getting into the hot spring. Following that, Hirayu Onsen was developed into a therapeutic spa. The spring is said to be effective at treating intestinal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, nerve pain and skin disease. Having said that, the Okuhida Hot Spring area in Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture is surrounded by mountains and it used to be referred to as a "hidden world." A tunnel connecting Nagano Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture has opened in recent years, and access to the area has improved dramatically. As seen from 1:17 in the video, many coach buses from large Japanese cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya arrive at Hirayu Onsen bus terminal. The bus routes are operated by the Nohi Bus, the local bus company covering most of the Hirayu Onsen area. This area is in a convenient location, as you can visit secret hot springs, camp sites and famous Japanese tourist spots such as Matsumoto and Kamikochi. Delicious Local Delicacies! Check Out the Delicious Foods Served in the Many Inns Shown Throughout the Video Photo:Hoba Miso Making a good choice of Onsen and meals is rather important when choosing a hotel or ryokan, is it not? Please have a look at 2:36 in the video. It shows unusual, delicious Japanese foods from the Hirayu Onsen area such as softshell turtle hot pot, onsen soft-boiled eggs, and pickled steaks. In particular, Hoba Miso is a very famous Japanese food in the Okuhida Hot Springs area in Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture. It is often included in the accommodation package of ryokan inns. We'd like to recommend Nakamurakan and Okada Ryokan for those who are particular about Onsen quality and want to fully enjoy the interior of a ryokan. The rotenburo (open air bath) at Nakamurakan uses hot spring water straight from the source and you can refresh your mind and body. You can see inside Okada Ryokan using Google maps street view as well if you're interested.

Okuhida Bear Ranch (奥飛騨クマ牧場 Okuhida Kuma Bokujo) shown in the video from 3:04 keep the largest number of Asian Black Bear (ツキノワグマ Tsukinowaguma) in Japan. We recommend the Bear Fat (熊の油 Kumanoyu) souvenir. It has been used as a medicine by hunters in the Okuhida Hot Springs area for many years and is effective for skin problems. Next up is the Shinhotaka Ropeway (新穂高ロープウェイ). There is a ropeway near Hirayu Onsen in Okuhida Hot Springs, Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture. It is the only double-decker ropeway in Japan. It is also famous for its magnificent views of autumn leaves. Its viewpoint has an elevation of 2,156 meters.

Food & Drink Celebrities- 195 plays
- YouTube
Introducing a NYC Sushi Chef! This video, titled "Chef Masaki Saito’s Fish Aging Techniques Earned Him Two Michelin Stars — Omakase Sushi," was produced by "Eater." The video features an interview with a sushi chef active in New York City! The culture of Japanese food is now popular all over the world, with things like sushi and kaiseki cuisine. In fact "Washoku" has been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Now, this food culture is spreading worldwide. In the business world, having lunch meetings over healthy Japanese food has become a common practice. In this video, we'll introduce a sushi chef from "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York" while exploring the essence of Japanese cuisine. After watching this video, you'll understand why Japanese cuisine is loved all over the world. Sushi - The Representative of Japanese Cuisine Photo:Sushi Sushi is a traditional Japanese food that combines vinegar rice with seafood. It has a long history, and was first created around 4th century BC by the people of Southeast Asia. The people of that time preserved fish using fermented rice, leading to the first rendition of sushi. There are numerous types of sushi, including: nigiri sushi, hand-rolled sushi, inarizushi, chirashizushi, gomoku sushi, barazushi, oshizushi (pressed sushi), chakin sushi, temari sushi, sousaku sushi (creative sushi), narezushi, datemaki sushi, futomaki sushi, shima sushi, sasamaki sushi, funazosuhi, kakinoha sushi, meharizushi, mackerel sushi, matsumae sushi, Osaka sushi, battera, raw sushi, warm sushi, dodomese, inakazushi, sakezushi, and more! Sushi is made with different methods and ingredients all over Japan, with various areas having their own specialty sushi. In Japan, there are many popular sushi restaurants in areas where fresh fish is easily available. These areas include Hokkaido, Tsukiji and Ginza in Tokyo, Toyama Prefecture, Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture, Fukuoka City, and more. Upon hearing the word "sushi," many people think of long-established luxury sushi restaurants, and start worrying about their wallet. However, there are actually many conveyor belt sushi restaurants, which are popular for their cheap prices. Popular sushi ingredients include medium fatty tuna, salmon, onion and tuna, salmon roe, sea urchin, and seasonal fish. What's your favorite sushi ingredient? Do note that there is a unique etiquette when it comes to eating sushi, as well as specialized terms with rice being called "shari" (シャリ), and ginger called "gari" (ガリ). Masaki Saito, the New York Sushi Chef Whose Restaurant Boasts 2 Michelin Stars Source :YouTube screenshot This video introduces chef Masaki Saito of "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York." He talks about the essence of sushi which he tries to bring across in his restaurant. Saito was born in Hokkaido, and has been familiar with seafood since he was a child. You might even say that it was predestined that he become a sushi chef. That might sound like an exaggeration, but if you watch the video you'll probably think so too! Many people in Japan think that sushi is merely a combination of vinegar rice and slices of raw fish. However, in actuality, the original edomae sushi required a lot of effort to marinate kombu (kelp), pickle side dishes, and roast ingredients. What's more is, it takes a lot of skill and effort not to spoil the raw flavor of the ingredients. This is the essence of the craftsmanship that can only be found in Japanese cuisine. From 1:29 in the video, Saito states that "salting and dehydration keeps the ingredients fresh," and from 3:36, he adds that marinating the kombu brings out the unique umami and aroma of the Hokkaido kombu used, adding flavor. From 1:44 in the video, he introduces the preparation process for Aori ika (bigfin reef squid). The squid is first cleanly sliced with a knife. He explains that, If you use too much heat, the ingredients will become cooked, but what you want is to preserve the freshness. At the same time, heat is needed to sterilize the ingredients. That's why careful heat management is crucial. Next, from 2:54 in the video, he states that the use of vinegar depends on the type of fish, and fish can also be cured using soy sauce or soup stock. In the world of sushi, "simmering" does not mean boiling ingredients in soup and then keeping it cooking for a long time, but rather, letting it pass through hot soup stock for a short time. There are a few aging techniques for maintaining the fresh flavor of the ingredients. These techniques include "fermenting" (漬け, zuke) in vinegar or soy sauce, lightly "broiling" (炙る, aburu) the surface of the ingredients, and "finishing" (〆る, shimeru) with salt or vinegar. Although Japan is the birthplace of Japanese cuisine, the essence of such craftsmanship is often forgotten. In fact, we might be so used to Japanese food that we take all this for granted, never having a chance to appreciate the depths of the effort that goes into our cuisine. Which is why, now that the world is gaining an appreciation of Japanese cuisine, we should all take this amazing opportunity to understand the essence of sushi and Japanese cuisine. Isn't Aging the Sushi Considered Cooking It? Source :YouTube screenshot According to Saito, aging is not part of the cooking process. Cooking is a technique where heat is spread evenly throughout the ingredients, with condiments added for flavor. This way, the protein that the animal had when it was alive is weakened. However, "aging," which was discovered in Japan in the latter half of the 1800's, is a technique for maintaining the raw state of the ingredients for as long as possible. Thus, the diminishing of protein is minimized, and the texture and flavor of the raw ingredients is not affected." Therefore, you could also say that if the ingredients are not fresh, they are not suitable for aging. This can be seen from 0:27 in the video. The aging techniques are so familiar to us in Japan that they practically go unnoticed by anyone not aiming to become a sushi chef or other kind of chef. In fact, it might only be when you see Japanese cuisine from an outside perspective that you realize just how advanced these techniques can be. The Essence of Japanese Food in New York, Where Cultures from Around the World Intersect Photo:New York Even in the United States, which has the world's largest economy, New York is an especially large city where cuisine and cultures from all over the world co-exist and intermingle. If you go sightseeing in New York, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat sushi in a casual setting, or even order delivery. As the land where pizza delivery was born, food delivery is a popular service in the United States. Additionally, through food reviews on the internet, you can see the deep knowledge that New Yorkers have about Japanese cuisine. Outside of Japan sushi is evolving, with new recipes, such as rolled sushi and California rolls. Nowadays, sushi chefs who have graduated from sushi academies are active all over the world, but New York in particular has a thriving market. Japanese cuisine in New York is a mixture of gems and stones, but "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York" is truly a gem where you taste traditional Japanese sushi made using genuine techniques. Summary of the Sushi Chef of Sushi Ginza Onodera Photo:Sushi If you happen to visit New York, definitely stop by "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York" to experience the essence of Japanese cuisine. Comparing sushi from outside of Japan to the sushi you can find within Japan is a great way to experience how different cultures intermingle to create new flavors! Today, Japanese cuisine is loved all over the world, to the point that you can enjoy genuine Japanese food even in New York. For Japanese people, eating some familiar Japanese food can even help with eliminating jet lag lol.

This article introduces sightseeing spots in Akiruno where you can enjoy nature, history, culture and delicious food. More About Akiruno, Tokyo Source :YouTube screenshot Akiruno, Tokyo is a place rich with nature, about 40 to 50 km west of central Tokyo. With a population of about 80,600 (March, 2020), the climate is colder than in central Tokyo, and the altitude is high, so the area is not so hot in the summer. Akigawa and Itsukaichi merged in 1995 to form Akiruno. The name of the city is derived from the fact that "Akiru Shrine" was located in the former town of Itsukaichi. It is a recommended travel destination for those who are tired of urban life, and has places such as instagram spots and stylish cafes that can be seen in the video. Photo:Yozawa River Speaking of Akiruno's symbol, the clear stream Akigawa, the largest tributary of the Tama River, definitely comes to mind.

In addition, Ishibune Bridge in the Akigawa Valley is one of the places to see when you go to Akiruno.

Shiroyama in the Togura district, is a mountain that used to be called "Togura Castle". From the top of Shiroyama, if the weather is nice, you can see the city center, and you will be impressed by the superb view. Since the altitude is not high and it is a gentle mountain trail, it is also a recommended route for beginners climbing and hiking. In addition, "Yamasaki no Oukashi," "Itsukaichi Basin," "Otake Limestone Cave," and "Akirudai Park" are other recommended scenic spots.
