5.0 out of 5 stars I Cannot Wait For Volume 2!!!!, January 7, 2005

By 

Benjamin Choi (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ken Sushi Video Volume 1 (DVD)

First let me start off by saying this. Ken Sushi Volume 1 is unquestionably the BEST video guide for making sushi. I have had a chance to see the other guides, and quite frankly they just don't cut it. Poor camera work, and even worse instruction should not be found in a sushi instructional video (or any culinary instructional video for that matter). Also, being taught by a sushi enthusiast rather than a professional sushi chef is not going to send a very good message to people who are really serious about learning how to make sushi properly (people want to learn from someone experienced, not enthusiastic).

Finally we have a video that is taught by a professional in the sushi scene, and he really takes the time to lay out all the techniques he's developed over the years, so that with a little practice (and the benefit of not having to take the time Ken did to trial and error his methods of perfect sushi creation) I was actually able to make some really great sushi.

The camera work is GREAT! No shakes or stutters, I didn't find myself distracted by the nuances of poor production quality. Truthfully this video is done so well, you will just find yourself immersed in what Ken is teaching (it plays a LOT like a chef Martin Yan instructional video).

Also it seems a lot of time was taken in pre production to really focus the instruction to a degree that it is thorough enough for someone familiar with sushi creation, yet developed enough so that someone completely new to the sushi experience can actually have a fair shot to making a wholesome, delicious dish.

If you take the time to watch the video a few times, and practice along with it. You WILL make sushi good enough to eat, and present to your friends, family (just utterly show off).

I'm just really glad I can finally say there is now a sushi instructional video that I feel was worth every penny of my purchase. If you want to really learn how to make sushi well, then Ken Sushi Volume 1 will be your number one resource. The only negative thing I have to say is where the heck is volume two????

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing and easy way to experience Sushi and Sashimi, May 4, 2005

This review is from: Ken Sushi Video Volume 1 (DVD)

My experience with Ken's Sushi Video was great !!!
It is a very simple way to see and learn the bases of Sushi, Sashimi and Maki (rolls).
Amazing way to bring something new home, and discover the wonderful taste of Salmon, Tuna and even create your own variations of those dishes.
It is very complete for a first version, and once you view, listen and learn the basic stuff you need to accomplish many exotic dishes, you will amaze your guests in the safety of your home.
