What is the Craftsman Spirit? I Learned Something Today!
Today the head chef asked me to check on the preparation of sesame tofu for the kaiseki dish. I imagined it was simple, just mixing the ingredients together – no, no, no. Then it turns out that even simple operations are the most headache-inducing. Stirring over low heat for three hours continuously, that's exhausting. No, I don't want to eat anything like that now. Now I understand why kaiseki dishes are so expensive.
