I Buy Soy Sauce And Flavor It

I Always Have Dashi In My Refrigerator—it's The Almighty Japanese Ingredient.

Cook More Often. Don't Study; Just Cook.

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.

Because I'm A Chef, I Eat Out Frequently, So It's Hard For Me To Control What I Consume In Terms Of Calories. But When I'm At Home, I Eat What My Wife Cooks For Me. She Works Hard To Avoid Making Foods That Are High In Calories And Cholesterol, So Most Of The Time, She Makes Vegetarian Dishes.
