“We have one with wasabi… and another without.” “Which do you like better?”

Now up.

Now the Vietnameze Spring Roll style tuna is coming. And he’ll torch the other tuna offering one last time. Now Risoto that Morimoto created out of sushi rice. “He always does this. Challenges our prejudice. What do you think about that?”
