Synopsis
"In this outstanding memoir, chef and restaurateur Matsuhisa...shares lessons in humility, gratitude, and empathy that will stick with readers long after they've finished the final chapter." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) A fascinating and unique memoir by the acclaimed celebrity chef and international restaurateur, Nobu, as he divulges both his dramatic life story and reflects on the philosophy and passion that has made him one of the world's most widely respected Japanese fusion culinary artists. Nobu needs no introduction. One of the world's most widely acclaimed restaurateurs, his influence on food and hospitality can be found at the highest levels of haute-cuisine to the food trucks you frequent during the work week--this is the Nobu that the public knows. But now, we are finally introduced to the private Nobu: the man who failed three times before starting the restaurant that would grow into an empire; the man who credits the love and support of his wife and children as the only thing keeping him from committing suicide when his first restaurant burned down; and the man who values the busboy who makes sure each glass is crystal clear as highly as the chef who slices the fish for Omakase perfectly. What makes Nobu special, and what made him famous, is the spirit of what exists on these pages. He has the traditional Japanese perspective that there is great pride to be found in every element of doing a job well--no matter how humble that job is. Furthermore, he shows us repeatedly that success is as much about perseverance in the face of adversity as it is about innate talent. Not just for serious foodies, this inspiring memoir is perfect for fans of Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Danny Meyer's Setting the Table. Nobu's writing does what he does best--it marries the philosophies of East and West to create something entirely new and remarkable.

    Heute, vor etwa 2,5 Std. wurde die Sendung bei einem Mitbewohner des Hauses abgegeben. Ich frage mich, was bei unseren Zustellern auf der letzten Meile eigentlich noch läuft??? Es wurde angegeben, dass am 02.10.2025 die Sendung im Briefkasten zugestellt wurde - dreiste Lüge!!! Aber dafür kann der Verkäufer überhaupt nichts, alles korrekt wie beschrieben und schnelle Versendung - großes Lob!!!

    Good price, there is some popping and a skip on the vinyl that weren't mentioned in the listing. Well packaged and sleeve as described. The skip could have been from the manufacturer, so not a huge deal, but still a bummer and should have been in the description.
