When I'm On The Road, I Wake

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.

A Kitchen Without A Knife Is Not A Kitchen.

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.

I Want To Expand My Cuisine To This Country. I Love America. I Have Been Here 22 Years.

I'm Not A Fighter, But In My Mind I'm Fighting Every Day. 'what's New? What Am I Doing?' I'm Fighting Myself. My Soul Is Samurai. My Roots Aren't Samurai, But My Soul Is.
