Just ask the local people for the best food. Don't rely on a guidebook.

I've been making sushi for 38 years, and I'm still learning. You have to consider the size and color of the ingredients, how much salt and vinegar to use and how the seasons affect the fattiness of the fish.

A lot of people think Japanese food is difficult, a lot of work. But you don't have to buy the knife I have. You don't have to train as long as I have. You can do my cooking in your kitchen.

I'm not making art, I'm making sushi

You wouldn't put your soul in a dishwasher!

A kitchen without a knife is not a kitchen.
