boy brothers buy corner expensive hard japan older street sushi took
When I was 11 or 12 - a young boy in Japan - one of my older brothers took me to a sushi restaurant. I had never been to one, and it was very memorable. Back then, sushi was expensive and hard to come by, not like today, when there's a sushi restaurant on every street corner and you can buy it in supermarkets.
bit boy exploring
I was a bit of a wild boy - always swimming and exploring the mountains.
best nobody people
People who make mistakes but try their best, other people will support. But people who make mistakes because they're lazy, nobody supports.
matter minutes morning ten tough
I exercise every morning, no matter what. Sometimes it's tough to do right when you get off the plane, but after ten minutes you start sweating, and you always feel better.
best enjoy musician people success whatever whether
I enjoy people who have passion, whether it is as a musician or whatever they do. All people who have success keep it very basic. Try your best. But without passion, you will not have success.
concept hotels music
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.
leaves
Napa cabbage is very beautiful, all those long, pale leaves with ruffled edges.
eat home meal salad soup
I always eat a meal at home before I leave for the airport, so I only eat the soup and salad on the plane.
almost avoid bought cut large shown tuna
Large fish such as tuna are shown already cut into fillets and bought by the block. Fillets should be almost transparent. Avoid tuna that looks rainbow-colored or black.
mexico
Have you ever been to Mexico City and haggled with the locals over souvenirs? Well, in Peru, you had to negotiate like that to get the freshest fish at the market.
cannot wear
I cannot bring myself to wear the Nobu hats, or the Nobu T-shirts. But the chef's jacket, that is mine. And when I wear it, I am very proud of myself.
two safety wife
I like Mercedes because my wife has been in two big accidents and emerged without a scratch, thanks to the safety of these cars.
interesting different spices
A different spice is the most interesting thing to me.
mother knives trying
I remember watching steak being cooked on TV and wanting to try it. As a special treat, my mother cooked it for me, and I thought this would be the time I would eat with a knife and fork. Alas, I ate it with chopsticks!
