Top Comments of this video!! :3
I took a comparative religions class in college: In Shinto, there is a strong emphasis on naturalness, which gives deep spiritual significance to the simplicity of Japanese cuisine, summed up in this proverb: "A Chinese Chef with his sauces can make pig taste like duck, but a Japanese Chef can make a carrot taste more like a carrot than any carrot you've ever eaten." That's stayed with me all these years.

I'm struck by the parallels between the shogun visiting a Samurai and the English monarchs visiting various nobles. In both events it was an expensive proposition for the host. Queen Elizabeth I used to visit nobles who she thought might be planning against her, and usually by the time she left, they were so broke they couldn't afford any of that.

I don't have social anxiety. But I probably would definitely develop it after attending a banquet like that. Do I eat this? How do I show that I appreciate how fancy It is? How long do I stare at it? What if my back starts to ache? What if I can't eat what is served without loudly gagging? Can I get a drink of water? Can I go to the bathroom!?! I think I would just leave the country if I had to go to something like this.

13:27 "Shi" was actually the Chinese phonetic for both "four" and "death." In formal ceremony in China and Japan, the use of this phonetic was avoided. But the Japanese language also had a vernacular form consisting of native Japanese words, and the phonetic for four was "yon," which could be used freely without invoking death.

One thing i noticed about the the dish that Max serving, is the "heaping" amount of rice. At first glance you might think " doesn't the rice seems too much?" considering if you had an experience eating in Japan or having native Japanese friend, most of them don't really eat a lot and most of the dish is small serving and you need to tell the waiter or writes in menu if you want "larger" size.
But, if you watch another youtuber named Samurai Matcha (different with that goofy Matcha Samurai 😅😅) he did a challenge on samurai eating habit and researching that explains, basically unlike today's Japan. Samurai era Japan had less protein intake and more calories intake. To the point that the rice eaten is like 5 times that of modern Japan used to eat.
So, either it's just for American serving or Max did really research it. It actually quite accurate

A few moments after this video released, I tried throwing in the spice mix of that rice into my rice cooker after doing my usual rinsing for lunch (And substituted the water for basic broth) and let me tell you, Cloves and ginger made the rice taste ridiculously good like he said even when you substitute the broth! Everyone should give it a legit try to change up your rice!
