  • About

To all sushi lovers
My wish to research all aspects of the sushi story compelled me to travel to many parts of Japan and the United States. During my investigations, I was privileged to meet with so many professionals—chefs, food and equipment producers, fishermen, fishmongers, distributors, and professors—who all contributed their precious time and enormous knowledge to this book.

My deepest thanks go to those both in Japan and the U.S. who shared with me their knowledge of the fascinating history and culture of sushi: Shingo and Ayako Nakajima, Noritoshi Kanai, Michael Cardenas, Nobu Matsuhisa, Minoru Yokoshima, Kikuzo Shiraishi, Makoto Fukue, Takafumi Shiroi, Yosuke Imada, and Professors Henry Smith and Kiyoshi Asahina.
