Cook more often. Don't study; just cook.
I dont eat anything on an airplane.
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.
A kitchen without a knife is not a kitchen.
I always have dashi in my refrigeratorยit's the almighty Japanese ingredient.
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.
