Gourmet Sashimi Salad




Nov 16, 08:34 pm

    Nobu Matsuhisa was born on March 10, 1949 in Tokyo, the second of four children. His architect father died when Nobu was eight, and he grew up daydreaming over his father’s old photos of faraway places. When he was 15, a brother took him to a sushi restaurant. Nobu was captivated by the artistry of sushi-making, and masculine attitudes of the chefs. He wanted to become a sushi chef, leaving his brothers to follow in their father’s footsteps. At 18, Nobu began apprenticing at a Shinjuku restaurant.

    It was his sheer determination to suceed and $70,000 borrowed seed money that got him where he is today.
