Wow He turns it into racism? 9:25
We love Ta Joiaaaaaaaaa!!!
Kenji looks more Kenji again with his longer hair again it’s more Kenji if you know what I mean he should keep it like that 😊
Dang it now I want toshi's
Funny how in Japan chicken thighs are expensive and breast is the cheap cut.
What a shame
My Everett-based brother uses whole chicken thigh-legs for teriyaki.🤤👍
Don’t get teriyaki in eastern Washington.
I grew up in Seattle. When I moved to Madison Wisconsin in 2000, I discovered that there are zero teriyaki restaurants in this part of the world.
Seattle has as many teriyaki places as there are Starbucks, possibly more!
When I visit home every year, I try to make it a priority to have at least a couple times to eat at a different location every time.
The best teriyaki sauce available at every grocery store, simply can’t be found in the Midwest!
Yoshis. I finally had to learn to make it myself.
I would personally be willing to suppirt the teriyaki places more if they were actually good. As good as good teriyaki is, mediocre teriyaki is horrible.

Uhhh, Brian you're not cooking it?
Thank you Brian, what a great vid, and i loved the collab with JKLA! I know I need to book a trip to Seattle soon 😁 and also New Mexico!
Living in Seattle I didn't know Teriyaki started in Seattle! I have to check out Toshi's Teriyaki
Thank you for this! As a PNW expat living in England for many years, I feel validated after banging on about Seattle teriyaki for ages! I make my own sauce (and garlic sauce and salad dressings!) . You just can't find those tastes anywhere else ❤❤❤
