I Always Have Dashi In My Refrigerator—it's

Right After I Graduated High School, I Joined A Sushi Restaurant To Learn How To Make Japanese Food. And Then Spent Seven Years. Then That Time - That's Enough. Then Sushi Restaurant - Butchering Fish And They Make Your Body Smell Like Fishy.

I Buy Soy Sauce And Flavor It Five Different Ways: With Sake, Mirin, Sugar, Kombu And Bonito Flakes. I Use Them On Lots Of Dishes At Home.

On Behalf Of My Native Japan, I Am Grateful To The Culinary Community And Hospitality Industry For Working Together To Raise Much-needed Funds To Aid The Tsunami And Earthquake Victims.

You Wouldn't Put Your Soul In A Dishwasher!

Culture And Tradition Have To Change Little By Little. So 'new' Means A Little Twist, A Marriage Of Japanese Technique With French Ingredients. My Technique. Indian Food, Korean Food; I Put Italian Mozzarella Cheese With Sashimi. I Don't Think 'new New New.' I'm Not A Genius. A Little Twist.
