Once I fell out of a tree and was hit by a motorbike. I still have the scar on my head now.

When I'm dining out privately, I tend to avoid fine-dining venues; I like things to feel casual.

The fine art of preparing sushi is something that you watch and learn.

My cooking is very simple, so I don't really use machines at all. A knife, cutting board, frying pan and strainer are my essentials.

Sushi is something very exclusive. It is not like a McDonald's, not like a hot dog, not like a French fry. It's very high-class cooking in Japan.

Peru was the Incas; it has 3,000 to 4,000 years of history.
