      its more like Kimura is a humble type of person. Japan has the most Michelin Stars restaurants in the World. So it is generally accepted that only the best in Japan get them. Hence why he was wondering why, considering he's technically very new in the industry. Goes to show he has insane potential. 30 years from now, i can definitely see him being considered the best Japanese Sushi Restaurant owner.

    One thing you see with all these Michelin starred chefs is the commitment to every single detail of their restaurant: the sourcing of ingredients, the level of artistry they can achieve while still delivering good food, the atmosphere of the restaurant, even the cleaning standards. They’ve truly transcended to a level beyond just good, elegant food and that’s what sets them apart.

  • @kogerugaming
    @kogerugaming 3 роки тому +1

    I'm so jealous of their passion. Like... I'm 25 and just started programming 4 months ago because I couldn't think of anything else I would like to do at all. But these guys are doing this from a very young age, and they are not even chefs for the first few years, and even after they are, they still doubt themselves for YEARS. This is a real passion. They want to do this and they will do this. In Europe what do we do? Many of us give up after a few months of trying something new because we are not already proficient. We need to learn patience in our running world.

    Very much love the Japanese aesthetics and the devotion to crafts.
    As an European product and interior designer I quite often catch myself following that aesthetic philosophy, mostly unintentionally.
    Not like copying the Japanese style but being close to its spirit. This minimal look has actually always been my taste, even before I knew anything about Japanese culture.
