Thank you so much for watching and the support on patreon ( www.patreon.com/JunsKitchen )! Next video is going to be a normal recipe video and I used my drone again! The intro is already done and I think it’ll be one of my favorites so far! :) Japanese sushi focuses on “enjoying the pure flavor of ingredients that are in season (because that's when the ingredients are in their best condition)” and American sushi seems to focus on “the combination of flavor.” Japanese sushi finishes with a little bit of soy sauce so you can enjoy how it brings out all the good flavors of ingredients, whereas American sushi can be very tasty and flavorful without using any soy sauce (instead using bunch of other sauces and spices and all kinds of toppings). I miss American sushi when I’m in Japan and I miss Japanese sushi when I'm in America! I love both Japanese sushi and American sushi. :)

JunsKitchen teach me how to cook like you god
Omg Jun! Its been a while!! Hope you had a great 2018 :) Love your vids so much with your furry cats
JunsKitchen omg love your videos!!!!!
0:29 I have a deep appreciation for the fact that each snip was on beat
I’m glad there are cultured people like you in this comment section
I literally just started the video and saw the clip and went straight to the comments
Me too
It was satisfying

*cat sniffs sushi* Cat: is safe you can eat it
This comment is so cute 😭
Savannah Micelli haha lol

Can we appreciate how smooth each movement is? When he pitted the avocado and threw away the seed I had to replay it was so satisfying
Right! So effortless
He's figured out youtube's algorithm. Food + Cats

Gordon Ramsay: Who are you? Jun: I'm you, But with cats
(wraps nori around trainee chef's head) Ramsey: "What are you?!" Trainee: "An idiot maki."
Oof
I CHOKED LOL True tho
Baka maki
And a lot of nicer
Jun: *lets cat sniff* Cat: *sniff* Also Cat: *approve* Jun: *continues*
Euradri I don’t want to like cause I’m content with the like number right now
Slinging INK for me the like number is boring (it’s 846)
Now that's a good number of like you have
Nice!
If a cat wont sniff it do not eat
I’m literally dying due to the fact I can’t reach through my screen, steal half of all that sushi, then proceed to give you and your cats all money in my possession.
I agree, but I'd go for all of it! 😋😍🤗 After all, he's so good at making it he can easily make more, lol 😉😅👍
The fact that you actually got an Alaskan king crab instead of using imitation crabsticks really defines how dedicated you are to food quality. Great job!
Sorry, but this is too good to be American sushi. Mission failed.
LOL!
Being from Japan I actually enjoyed American sushi more when I was there. A lot more flavor.
Corinthe Stipend I know what you mean :) But I think that's everyone's personal opinion. As Jun already said, Japanese Sushi depends a lot on the fish's natural taste, whereas American sushi uses a wide variety of herbs and such things. I personally like them equally as much :)
KingDLetsPlay hmmm Why not both
sonic fighter because as soon as you add extra spice the actual taste of the ingredients (I mean the fish here - idk how to say it differently sorry 🙏🏻) gets overshadowed by the spices :)
Poki's banned again.
He tried to eat the fish.
Knew it was too good to be true last time haha
Hahaha my cat would’ve just stolen the whole lot
Omg hhah XD
Poor poki hahha
when you japanize the americanized version of the japanese dish xD so many layers x'D

Him: Makes professional high quality restaurant sushi Me: Burns Water
So your making holy water?
My stupid ass thought for 10 freaking seconds if that’s possible and if that’s what black water is then realized about steam and stuff
i have burned water once, i wanted to make tea, but i had no kettle, so i swallowed my pride and used the microwave, i put water, in a paper cup the cup caught fire ( this was a school microwave and i was using it in the middle of class) the fire alarm went off we evacuated all because of my thirst for leaf water
@@yourpaledd leaf water lmao You're british, i suppose?
If u managed to burn water then i think it’s time to stop cooking. Also u should get an award
me: :( him: lets his cats sniff all the ingredients: me: :)
😂😭😭😭😭🐱
The cat is so cute 🥺
He lets the cat way too close to the food & up on the counters. The cat even touched some of the food which is a health hazard. Disgusting. Dogs & cats can also carry a deadly disease, though quite rare, it has a 25% mortality rate & can lead to amputations & necrosis in the body - kzhead.info/sun/hceyethopKuJfps/bejne.html

Dude's so nice to his cats! And killing it with the knife skills. I love it.
Thank you! You've really inspired me to cook for my cats more often. I'm even cleaning and revising my kitchen because you've inspired me to have my cats available in the general area when I cook. My kitchen is a lot larger, so it's a little inconvenient since my kitchen area is on the other side of my kitchen from my island.
My mans so slick he makes throwing garbage out look classy af.
😂
This.

Awesome.
AF.
Dude your knives are insanely sharp and your cooking skills even sharper
I agree
i concur
It’s crazy how satisfying your cooking is, I always watch your cooking videos before sleep because they calm me down, thanks!😁
The finesse with the knife use is fantastic!!!! Great job jun!
When he throws the mayo in a shopping bag and is jamming 😂😂😂
I wish to be as accomplished as him
Actually, he’s *vibing*
It’s a mood
Vibing*
Lol should say thanks to him, I showed that hack to my family
Jun just casually throwing the avocado stone/pit into the trash is my aesthetic
Yes yes yes, sooo yes, that was just perfect ^^
Lol was thinking about it too
I kept replaying that part because I was in awe
I was wondering if anyone else was thinking that 👌
I love how you cook It’s just so satisfying
I really enjoy watching you cook. The way you slice these ingredients is credible; you are truly an artist.

Absolutely amazing, just a work of art.
Watching food and cat content simultaneously is incredibly enjoyable, thank you!! :)
Jun: Cooks a meal all by himself wich looked really difficult and labor intensive. Also Jun: Thank you for the meal
Self appreciation 👍
In Japanese culture, "Thank you for the meal" is not just to appreciate the person who cooks it, but also those who provide the ingredients and everything.

yes, love it!!
I love you’re cooking videos I’ve forgotten about it for years but know when I saw this, it made my life shine so bright again just how good the sushi was and how good you make them. ♥️
Beautiful. To make it truly American sushi, one must get out the squirt bottle of "spicy mayo" and put a heavy layer on everything. (Your cats are very patient.)

*throws avocado seed in the trash can* Poki:👁️👄👁️
Poki mostly loves the plastic trash for some reason, probably plastic fish and meat containers
Tsukote Amie i think it’s also because the plastics are more accessible based on the placement on the trashcans, but that’s just a guess
Avocado is toxic for cats last time I read on reddit
Poki is a true foodie
😂😂😂😂😔😂
You’re like a magician 😍captivating and full of surprises! You blew me away with your artistry and grace in the kitchen 💖thank you
It all looks beautiful! I love how you need the cat's approval.
This is satisfying on so many levels, and I also think the cat is the supreme ruler and judge of everything.

The cat made this infinitely better.

The big cat over the stove is haku while the smaller one on the chair is nagi. They have another cat named poki but poki doesn't behave
considering what this video was about I'm pretty sure he would've eaten the ingredients really quick.

Oh my goodness!!! Beautiful! You are so very talented! Thank you for such a great video!
You gotta be kidding me with those skills 🥺😩 it's so satisfying to watch
Ok I've concluded that the only step I'm skilled enough to do from this video is twirling the mayonnaise around in a plastic bag (3:37) #wakemeupinside
april00026000 .....lol, right?!
LOOOOLOL!
I'd probably spin too hard and the mayo would rip out the bag. 😂
april00026000 I'm not even skilled enough to do that
Can you do it looking as cool as Jun though?
Why does he cut vegetables so nice? My goodness...it’s mesmerising✨
It's a Japanese thing. They elevate food craft to a whole different art form.
@@kerryowens5544 Jun is ur avg irl anime character
with a $600+ knife, probably gets it professionally sharpened. There are companies that will do that if you ship them your knifes.
gosh the avocado thoo
Jolly Joel he sharpens his own, check his knife vids
I sometimes come back to watch these vids, I find them very relaxing
I feel like I watch this video every month, it's so good and I love it so much

@@besteverepicmillennial5927 Dont complain
R/woooooooosh
A place I used to go shopping at had this place for sushi and when ever I went I got sushi. And there was this old Japanese man who would make the sushi and it was always so good. It was absolutely wonderful everytime I got it. He put so much effort into making sushi just for a teenage boy. And for everyone he served. One day I went and he was not there. I was very sad and I never got to eat his sushi again. I hope to one day travel to japan to see if I could get sushi like his again.
this made me so emotional.
awwww :(
This was the first video I saw from Jun and now he’s one of my favorite youtubers
Very creative and innovative, very authentic and looks amazing I am hyped to discover more of your channel :)
You just earned the mexican nationality with that avocado slicing technique
haha he did it so well

Basically every other South American nationality aswell
I wasn't thinking about that, but I've seen enough videos of "how not to slice an avocado"

@Bonnie Like ninos home kinda
@@boah-ist65 Yeah
Tbh he's been doing it before nino And his videos are way better than nino's, which are filled with boring jokes
Does anyone else find it satisfying how the knife is so smooth when cutting everything? It also just cuts the cucumber like its butter or something.
it cuts plastics like butter
It’s a really sharp knife, lemme just say.
Yeah, it's a quality, well sharpened knife
Everything is cake.
Yea
The transition from the fridge to the cupboard was so smooth!
Ikr it also fascinated me
i'm always so amazed at how smoothly you cut plastic wrappers Jun!!
I appreciate the quality of the knife skills as well as the attention to details that are in the camera viewpoints. Like when he put the Marinating Tuna in the fridge, and also taking the rice from out of the cupboard. The camera is not built into those pieces, so he went through the trouble of putting the camera in to get the footage, and than edit it. I also like that part where he put the mayo bottle in the bag and spun it while rocking out.
he spun the mayo in order to allow the centrifugal force to bring all the product to the top. just seemed like you weren’t aware (but if you were that’s cool too)!
grace xu ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ i know why he did it, that's just a fun way to do it for the video

the impressive thing is Nagi not getting scared of that cucumber. Totally expected him to spring away
It was a pickle
Because it ain't a surprise.😜
None of the three cats actually give a shit about cucumbers, at least in kzhead.info/sun/f6WIgcyOpoSikmg/bejne.html lol
My cat doesn’t do it either I’ve tried to get her but all she does is want to eat it
Cucumber didnt scare cats.but if you put it quietly.it will surpise the cat and make the cat stress.So,dont make your cat stress.

A Japanese take on an American take on a Japanese food. Sushiception.
exactly what i was thinking lmao
It goes deeper, as the origins of "American sushi" come from a Japanese immigrant sushi chef who was inspired by ingredients used in American and Mexican foods and ingredients to create a Japanese food that would be familiar but unique. So the order would be Japanese food fused with American food that then became American food now being remade by the Japanese in a Japanese take on Japanese food that is now perceived as American food. *insert inception noise here*
Aaron Barringer 0_o
Aron Barringer people often say Americans don't have their own food but the Americanization of other cultures foods is American foods. that's what happens in a melting pot country and i love it.
Plot Twist: It was me, Dio!
Cat is the Chief Chef, need his cat ingredient approval.
I mean, the sense of smell from a cat is 14 times more than a human, so it would make sense
@@cereal__killer512 He's using that sense of smell to check the quality of the ingredients, and that's excellent
It was the most enjoyable sushi video I have ever watched. Thank you
The video was great, I really enjoyed watching it, great job 👍😊
