    This is an OUTSTANDING tutorial. I have watch so many videos for rolling sushi and your detail about forming the dam and the exact technique for rolling is very helpful. Thank you very much.

    So many times I’ve had sushi with over seasoned rice. My biggest challenge is getting that perfect balance of sweet, salt, acid, and umami for the rice.

    12:49 “more fats something has, more wasabi you can put it in” they is a great tip ! Thank you ! No wonder when I eat it with salmon, it feels less spicy

    Chef Taka always seems so warm and kind. Thanks for the tips on making the vinegar! Would love to see a Sushi 102 featuring more complex rolls.
  • @buffettboy2003
    I didn't expect a left handed oil test in the sushi making video, but here it was! Hahaha. But on a serious note, thanks for a clear and understanding video!
