After college, I went to England and studied for a couple years.

I was in the U.S. about 15 years. Especially in New York. And then I came back to Japan.

I do a lot of traveling overseas.

I spent seven years in France. Then, I went to Asia for five years. I came to London in 1984 and then America in 1985. In 1991, I opened my first restaurant in New York City.

I spent my entire childhood living abroad because of my father's occupation, so we were on long-haul flights all the time.

I travel. I do a lot of traveling around the world.

All I had done for five years was work 18 hours a day all over the world. I needed to step back and distance myself from it.

By the time I was 10, I had lived in 11 different countries.

I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.

I went to Japan and I lived there. I lived in Mexico for a year. I went to Europe. I lived in Canada.
