A somewhat interesting memoir of a celebrity sushi chef. The book was translated from Japanese. It relates the path of his personal development, the history of his restaurant career and how he became a celebrity. The writing emphasizes many names of people he wants to credit with defining his path. I can understand the desire, but found the constant naming of people that I wouldn't relate to a distraction.
A disappointing follow-up. Suffers from being a translation of a Japanese original rather than a new work. Feels rushed.
An excellent book full of Nobu's iconic recipes. Worth the price of admission for the Black Cod with Miso dish alone.
