“Katsura Muki in 2025?” Pro Sushi Chef’s cinéma vérité




Is Katsura Muki really meaningful in the real life? Or, is it equivalent of pulling a wheelie on a street bike, spinning Colt SAA while putting it back into a holster?
If it has some meaning, what is the point? How to practice?

(NOT a knife sharpening video but a knife using video...)

The edge geometry is just as important as the sharpness at the apex.

Deba=Atoma+Shapton


240mm Deba : 22 oz. (620g) ≒ Colt detective Special 2-inch barrel, fully loaded
Part 1 tells you why you need to be (a sort of) sculptor ( and a rebel.)
 
Deba=Atoma+Shapton, part2


Big surprise, I actually managed to upload part2 right after the part1 !
This video shows how & why I use Atoma#1200 after #400, then how I put secondary bevel (for chopping) on the rear 1/3 of the blade, and micro bevel on front 2/3 of the blade.
Usual disclaimer, this is NOT a tutorial, this is NOT knife / knife sharpening channel !

“Why you don’t sharpen Ura Oshi?” Viewer asked me …


The pitfalls of trying to learn something, from YouTube videos.
Someone who watched my video said, “Why you sharpen only on the right side?”, despite the fact that the videos clearly show how I sharpen the left side.
What happened?
Why he couldn’t see it?

Got bunch of free snapper heads!

Fillet 3 Snappers in 14 min! A viewer commented my deba is dull...


Let me know in the comment section, does this deba seem to be dull, in need of sharpening?
Also, I'm waiting some internet hero to chime in, saying his master, friend, neighbor, brother in low, can do this with Yanagiba, 3 snappers under 30-second...

Let’s learn how to cut like Pro Sushi Chef Part1 Maguro Prep with Sugimoto 2524 slicer



Teaching how to cut / prep big piece of Bit Eye Tuna, for dinner time.
Sorry for the back ground noise. It was filmed at the end of the lunch time.
I prefer to use different knives for preparation and serving customers during the business hours. So, in this video I’m using Sugimoto 2524 slicer.
I also use Ginza Watari Sujihiki, and I will show you how I use both of them in the next video.
 
Let’s learn how to cut like Pro Sushi Chef Part2
“Busy lunch & preparation, alone?”


Ginza Watari Sujihiki & Sugimoto 2524.
Let’s talk about “how to handle busy time when you can’t expect a back up”.
In our line of work, “speed” is paramount. HOWEVER, “Fast but Sloppy”, “Fast but Messy” isn’t a good thing.
You have to remember famous Navy Seals’ mantra, “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”.
 
Pro Sushi Chef’s “Hardcore Henry” moment, Let’s learn how to cut like Pro Sushi Chef part 3
18 minutes of (mostly) non stop knife action, POV
[Graphic Warning]


This is going to be.a little bit different, from my usual style.
The entire footage is shot on GoPro Hero 10, in the busy restaurant kitchen.
Yet, I’m trying to make it as cinematic as possible, while maintaining the informative, for those who are interested in fish preparation.

In the novel, first person narrative is pretty much means first person perspective. But in the film, these two are different things.
To me, the first thing that comes in mind when talking about first person perspective film is “Lady in the lake”, 1947. But, this video ended up more like “Hardcore Henry”.
