A Kitchen Without A Knife

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.

No Rules. Don't Be Afraid To Do Whatever You Want. Cooking Doesn't Have To Have Rules. I Don't Like It That Way.

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.

When I'm On The Road, I Wake Up Early And Walk A Lot. I'm Very Healthy. But When I Come Back Home, I Am More Tempted By Guilty Pleasures, Such As Eating Too Many Sweets And Sleeping A Lot.

Japanese Chefs Believe Our Soul Goes Into Our Knives Once We Start Using Them. You Wouldn't Put Your Soul In A Dishwasher!
