For an uninterrupted ride, I had to take a water and pee break before I launched into this paragraph. I have always thought it is funny how in French cuisine, the complexity increases with its price tag but for Japanese cuisine, it is the exact opposite - and I finally understand why.

For me, the difference between Japanese and French cooking comes down to the this: in Japanese cooking we think the ingredients are a gift from God and we try not to change them too much... It seems to me that often French chefs want to change the things they cook with, to put their own mark on them. In other words, in Japan chefs work with what God provides, in France the chefs think they are God.
