A Moment of Zen with Master Sushi Chef Naomichi Yasuda

This week Frank Bruni revisited Sushi Yasuda and found that "there's been no slippage, no drift" since William Grimes awarded the restaurant three stars in 2000. Bruni describes the "quasi-religious ardor with which this restaurant approaches its mission." To help better understand this mission we put together this quick video segment taken from our interview with chef Yasuda last year. In it Yasuda describes the zen-like process of making sushi and exactly what goes through his mind when he's preparing your next dish.
