Cooking with Chef Dai
š„BANZAI BANZAI BANZAIš„ A massive thank you for clicking on my Youtube channel!!!! š
My full name is Daisuke Ikeda, but all of my friends and family call me "Dai".
I created this channel in the Autumn of 2015 with the vision of sharing the various "tips, tricks and techniques" that I've picked up throughout the years of professional cooking from "kappo" style through to "Kaiseki" style of traditional Japanese cuisinešŖš£š¤ššš
As well sharing the many restaurant recipes that I've learnt in the various kitchens from Tokyo šÆšµ to London š¬š§, I'll also be sharing with you the many home cooked recipes that I've loved cooking and eating myself at home with my family.
Most importantly, this channel is all about having fun š, learning and sharing our experiences and knowledge with one another.
Hope you enjoy watching the videos!!!!! š
Dai šÆšµš¬š§

In 2015 we posted a video of me cutting spring onions. Little did we know that 6 years and 31 million views later, we'd reach the mind boggling milestone of 200K subscribers!!!!!!!
The community spirit, positivity and the thousands of awesome messages we've received over the last 6 years have made this incredible journey all that more humbling and fulfilling.Ā
Thank you so much for the love and support x

Good evening all, apologies for the lack of videos recently.
Weāve returned to work following our restaurant closure due to covid-19 here in London, UK and as you can imagine, weāve been extremely busy with efforts to get the restaurant up and running again.
Right, excuses out of the way, weāll be back very soon with some more cooking videos!!!
For the time being, a bit of an update on the prize draw from a few weeks ago.
The winner of that prize draw did not want to provide identification to verify his age, required for me to send the knife to him. Therefore, we mutually agreed that it would be better to have another draw for the same prize and give you all another opportunity to win!!!!
Thatās right, you all get another chance to win this fantastic 21cm Japanese DEBA knife and dual grit sharpening stone.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO RE-ENTER and all entries made to the previous prize draw will be valid for the next prize draw, to be uploaded to this channel tomorrow, Sunday 8pm UK GMT time.
YOU CAN NO LONGER ENTER TO WIN THIS PRIZE.
Good luck again everyone and I look forward to announcing the winner on tomorrowās video.
Take care,
Dai
