I was a bit of a wild boy - always swimming and exploring the mountains.

People who make mistakes but try their best, other people will support. But people who make mistakes because they're lazy, nobody supports.

I always eat a meal at home before I leave for the airport, so I only eat the soup and salad on the plane.

Some hotels have a lot of mirrors, chairs, you can't find the plugs, the music is complicated. But the Nobu concept is beautiful, simple.

Napa cabbage is very beautiful, all those long, pale leaves with ruffled edges.
buy closed oysters shell
Shellfish is better to buy live. In the U.S., because we eat oysters and clams raw, it is very important that they are alive before we prepare them. It's important to look for a closed shell. If a clam is alive, the shell will be closed. Never buy clams if the shell is open.

I like to keep healthy physically and mentally, too.

In Japan, I have my own line of dinnerware, but I'm not aggressive about pursuing those projects.
