Reviews"The photos of your food are terrific. But most important, I think, is the story of how you started and who inspired you along the way. It gives insight into who Nobu Matsuhisa is as well as the journey to get where you are today." -Robert De Niro, from the Preface "I have been at Nobu's restaurants for many years, and the food, the presentations, and the ambience have always surpassed my expectations. Thank you Nobu!" -Martha Stewart "This cookbook is the very best thing next to having Nobu standing next to you in the kitchen telling you what to do." -Daniel Boulud, Cafe Boulud You can tell how much fun a city is going to be if Nobu has a restaurant in it." -Madonna "Truly one of the greatest Japanese chefs.
