Banco Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 This was a fascinating article that reminded me of the three blessed weeks I was able to spend in Tokyo a few years ago. It described very well the passionate, samurai-like commitment and sacrifice chefs there are willing to make in the name of craft and technique.
