Food is imbued with the feelings and personality of the cook. Even if you were to follow my instructions faithfully, using precise amounts of identical ingredients, I am quite sure that you would never be able to perfectly recreate the same flavors and textures that I make. For I always put something special in my food – my heart, or kokoro, as we say in Japanese.
“I wish more good food brings peace and happiness into the world.” -Nobu Matsuhisa
