Japanese chefs believe our soul goes into our knives once we start using them. You wouldn't put your soul in a dishwasher!

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.

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

Culture and tradition have to change little by little. So 'new' means a little twist, a marriage of Japanese technique with French ingredients. My technique. Indian food, Korean food; I put Italian mozzarella cheese with sashimi. I don't think 'new new new.' I'm not a genius. A little twist.

Right after I graduated high school, I joined a sushi restaurant to learn how to make Japanese food. And then spent seven years. Then that time - that's enough. Then sushi restaurant - butchering fish and they make your body smell like fishy.

I want to expand my cuisine to this country. I love America. I have been here 22 years.

New York is my, you know, second hometown.

When I was a kid, I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown, Hiroshima, has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know, and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant - sushi restaurant.

I don't eat anything on an airplane.

I always have dashi in my refrigerator - it's the almighty Japanese ingredient.
