Nobu Matsuhisa People Quotations

People eat the chicken, people eat the beef, they still say, 'Don't kill the fish.'

In my generation, there was no sushi school, no cooking school, so people have to learn from working.

I enjoy people who have passion, whether it is as a musician or whatever they do. All people who have success keep it very basic. Try your best. But without passion, you will not have success.

People who make mistakes but try their best, other people will support. But people who make mistakes because they're lazy, nobody supports.

Every year, I do a New Year's day party at my home. I invite my staff and my friends and their kids. Around 40-50 people come by, and I do a barbecue and salads, steak and sushi, and also lots of cheese.

One day, the people who work in my kitchen stir-fried chopped Napa cabbage to serve with some meat or fish for their own dinner. I got to thinking: 'What if the cabbage was the most important thing on the plate?'

It's true that cilantro has a strange, strong flavor. People seem to love it or not like it at all. Even I didn't like it at first when I had it in Peru. But I got used to it - it's hard not to in South America - and now I can't live without it.

Any kind of vision needs people.
