Japanese food makes me feel particularly good.

I'm fascinated by Japanese cuisine.

I love Japanese and Thai food, especially seafood, and eat out with my wife two or three times a week.

I am not a stickler for Indian food, but by the third day or so I start looking for something familiar to eat. I have travelled a lot, and I always try out local food.

I'm Japanese, but restaurants in my hometown served the most sanitized versions of California rolls. I grew up eating a lot of Japanese food at home that my parents or grandparents made.

I often look ridiculous in Japan. There's really no way to eat in Japan, particularly kaiseki in a traditional ryokan, without offending the Japanese horribly. Every gesture, every movement is just so atrociously wrong, and the more I try, the more hilarious it is.

You just feel a little odd when you don't get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.

When I go on Japanese Airlines, I really love it because I like Japanese food.

Here's the irony in what I do: When I go out to eat, I like classic French food. I like amazing Japanese food that has such a history that it goes back hundreds of years. And I also like really innovative food as well.
