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.

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