Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a Japanese sushi chef looks like? Shizuka ventures to Tokyo’s historic Tsukiji Fish Market to find out just that.
Saisho Nobuhiko is a sushi master with over 20 years of experience and the proud owner of Ginza Saisho–a renowned sushi restaurant serving high-quality sushi masterpieces. Shizuka meets Saisho Nobuhiko at Tsukiji Fish Market, where their seafood adventure begins! Saisho-san schools Shizuka on all things seafood before they visit a special uni (sea urchin) vendor that happens to be a friend of his.
Next stop is a kitchenware shop! Our cheerful host, Shizuka, joins Saisho-san who is in need of a new kitchen tool. After they successfully complete their shopping mission, it’s time to head over to Ginza Saisho for a sushi-making lesson. From shaping the rice to placing the fish, Saisho-san teaches Shizuka the delicate art of making sushi before she enjoys her handmade lunch.

This is one of the best episodes so far for me, two of my favorites… Shizuka and Sushi 🍣
This guy is great.
But when he said, the less rice the better when making Sushi?
Elevated to a whole new level!
Another great video!
I really love this show what a great way to be exposed to another culture in a super fun way. Great host too.
Shizukaaaaaaa
I loved his shop. It looked cozy and intimate and very comfy. I'm sure the food was great! How i wish that one day I get to visit places like this and try their fresh sushi. Great vid once again.
Aloha Shizuka. Loved this video! I've never tried Uni before but after watching this custom version with the beef and truffle oil/salt, I'm very interested in trying it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience.
Nice video Chef Shizuka 🍣 ❤
I would love to try that uniku! I'm trying to imagine the flavor of meat and uni together but can't! You are so fortunate to get to do things like this! You should do a video of what you do when NOT making videos!
Great video. I enjoy the "travelogue" style videos showing foods from different areas, but it's also really interesting to see one chef and his specialty highlighted like this.
Love the dude's hair. Rocking that receded hairline with the blonde color job.
Confidence baby. Pure. Confidence.
Not being a douche fr😂
Beautiful host…
MasterChef🤝🙏🙏
All these docs are nicely produced, shot, and edited. And Shizuka's charm, joy, and triple smile (she always smiles withe her mouth and her eyes) are the perfect condiments.
I want that marushyu bag too!
I like this format of show. So fun. Really brings up Shizuka's energy. Also, Now i want to tri Uni-ko
I spent years in Japan. This video is amazing. She is gravitational as a person and this man is an artist. I find videos like this to be gems.
How fun! He's a great guest with a lot of skill and knowledge to share with viewers. Definitely shows the skill needed to be top notch sushi chef. Another greatly hosted, produced and edited video.
Perfect pair ❤😊 į feel good chemistry 😊
OISSSHHHIIIII SHIZZAAA
❤❤❤ reminded me of the wet markets i used to visit in Singapore eons ago. So glad cameraman got the cooler bag. He deserves it. If team Shizuka opens a Sushi restaurant, i will definitely be there.❤
Wow, Shizuka, you did a great job making sushi and temaki! I would have a hard time trying to make the simplest sushi. Thanks again for the video!
what an enjoyable video! you all looked like you had a lot of fun with this one!
She is a great host and an amazing person. My kids and I actually bumped into her while filming this episode and she took her precious time to say hi and took a few pictures too. She is so kind and real. This was one of the highlight from our trip to Japan. Keep up the great work. Lots of love from Canada!❤
I've been on Shizuka's case, telling her that she needs to do more workouts specially after having so many Japanese meals, but it seems like my messages got lost in the fitness realm! And now, carrying a bag of frozen and most likely smelly fish has become a formidable challenge for her! 🏋🏻♀🐟🐠🐡😄
Chef seems like a fun Character, what a fun episode
I love Saisho san's vibes. So cheerful and a fun personality. Haven't seen many sushi chefs with his disposition. What a great guy!
Another great video from JBF!
what a cute little space so full of personality
He is so fun 🎉❤
Love this one.
Man this was such a heartwarming episode. It really makes me wanna make a reservation in his restaurant 😊
What a fun time. And the chef was so nice and happy, and he really helped you learn with a smile. How wonderful! Sushi, soooooooo yummy!
Has Shizuka needed to pay for a meal in the last 3 years? 😂
She is perfect ❤
I have
