In this video, Chef Eiichi Ueda, a sushi chef in Ginza, shows everything from purchasing ingredients to preparation and talks about his passion for Anago. The answer to why Japanese food is loved by so many people around the world may be found in this video. What Is Edomae Anago? Photo:Anago Sushi “Edo” is the old name for Tokyo and Anago was caught in what is now Tokyo bay which is in front of Edo. “Mae” means “in front of” in Japanese. The Edomae Anago absorbs nutrients from the river flowing into Tokyo Bay, and is considered a seafood gourmet that is a symbol of Edomae and is backed by history and culture. 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. They are also very particular about the way they prepare their rice and how to process and prepare fish. Chef Ueda, also says that cooking with gratitude for the ingredients is the only way to bring out the best in them and provide customers with the best food possible. Summary of Edomae Anago In the video, The Japanese craftsmans, Chef Ueda Eichi, shows us Edomae Anago, and what makes Japanese cuisine such an amazing gourmet experience.

The Female Edo-Sushi Chef If you want to eat delicious, authentic Japanese food in the United States, you gotta check out this video. This is a video produced by FCI NY titled "American female sushi craftsman holding authentic Edo-mae sushi in NY!(NYで本格江戸前ずしを握るアメリカ人女性すし職人!)" The video shows a female sushi chef working in Chelsea, New York, Manhattan. One of the attractions of this sushi restaurant is that you can eat exquisite sushi just like you can find in Japan. This female sushi chef at a hidden, famous restaurant, also rents a part of another sushi restaurant that has no name on it except for a sticker of restaurant's mascot. Who Is This Female Sushi Chef? Source :YouTube screenshot Young female sushi chef Ouna Tempest holds the authentic Edo-style sushi at Sushi by Bae, a restaurant in New York. She is a 25 year old sushi chef. Ms. Tempest's sushi restaurant was selected as one of Zagat Suebey's "Top 30 Chefs Under 30" and "New York's 10 Most Important Restaurants Opened in 2017". How Did a Female Sushi Chef in New York Become Fascinated by the World of Sushi? Source :YouTube screenshot As introduced in the video at 1:26, female sushi chef Oona Tempest was originally an aspiring artist. However, she started working part-time as a restaurant waitress in New York, where she visited for training, and she became fascinated by the world of sushi, a beautiful piece of art. She trained under master sushi chef Oguma, and opened a popular sushi restaurant with only six seats at the counter. A master respects sushi as work, as an art, and as a food, and Oona Tempest lives by those rules as well. These are the words spoken by Oona Tempest herself in an interview which can be seen from 1:37 in the video. Oona Tempest's Sushi Specialties Source :YouTube screenshot In the preparation room, which is said to be the smallest in New York, Ms. Tempest's knife skills when handling spatters is 2nd to none. This can be seen from 2:30 in the video. The skill of quickly grasping the shari and providing the seasonal ingredients quickly is vivid. You can order a handful of snacks at her shop as well. At "Sushi by Bae", only 90-minute courses are available for $ 15 / $ 100, and 90% of the seafood used is caught in Japan. While cherishing the tradition and culture of Edo-mae, the delicate flavor that does not require soy sauce, and the vivid sushi that makes use of the artist's eyes are something to be marveled. At 4:27 in the video, she says, "Omakase does not mean what the chef likes, but providing a dish that will suit the customer." As a master, she also trained in flexibility of the menu to suit the customer's preferences. Summary of New York's Female Sushi Chef Photo:Sushi Well-known Japanese restaurants in Japan value hospitality, but the same is true of Tempest's sushi restaurant located far from the shores of Japan. Although not quite the ingredients you can purchase at Tsukiji in Japan, she uses fresh seafood caught on the day and has the skill to transform it into something sublime. She has a dream of having her own store in the future, but she is still working under someone and aspires to learn more. If you want to enjoy exquisite sushi in New York, be sure to drop by her restaurant! 【Official Website】Sushi By Bae https://www.sushibybae.com/ 【Yelp】Sushi By Bae https://www.yelp.com/biz/sushi-by-bae-new-york-2?osq=Sushi+By+Bae -

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!

For Japanese people, eating some familiar Japanese food can even help with eliminating jet lag lol.

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。 -
