Filled with inspiration and a healthy dose of humor, it is a look into the evolution of sushi and the progression of an individual who never lost sight of his vision.Chef Taro shares the story of his early years in Japan, his pursuit of the American dream, and his adventures as a restaurateur. In addition to telling the inside story about the creation of his Mikuni restaurants, he reveals special recipes that have remained secrets until now. You'll learn about the origins of sushi and the traditions embraced by the Japanese culture-and maybe even learn a phrase or two in Taro's native language. Follow his lead as he takes you on a senses-stimulating excursion into a world of extraordinary flavors, compelling textures, and visual enchantment.The foreword to the book was written by renowned author Nicholas Sparks, a longtime friend of chef Taro and a frequent guest at the first Mikuni restaurant.</p>
