Apparently there was a fire in Boyle Heights yesterday, and the air was pretty smoky. If we could smell the smoke all the way here in Sierra Madre, it must have been a fairly large fire.

As most of people do, I’m listening radio when I’m driving a car. Today’s topic was we should do proofreading with AI. I’m not good at English so I often use AI translation. However, AI sometimes dilutes my original emotion. Of course I want to speak good English. On the other hand, I want to tell my original feelings as well.

仕入れで運転している時はラジオ聴いてます。今日のトピックはビジネス文書をAIに校正させるか？でした。AIは便利だからついつい使ってしまうけれど、これは私のオリジナリティを削ぐし、こんなのに慣れてしまったらアドリブの会話も出来なくなります。正しい言葉で話すのは大切だけれど、時には恥かく事も勉強なんですかね。

I usually don’t drink on Sundays, and yesterday I spent the entire day driving—taking my wife to the hospital and my daughter to the airport—so I’ve actually been sober for two straight days. If I showed up at an AA meeting, I’d probably look like a superhero.

Today we received some live tokobushi (a small species of abalone) flown in from Fukuoka. They’re incredibly fresh. Please come by and give them a try!

私は日曜日を休肝日にしているのですが、昨日も嫁の病院とか娘の空港とかで1日中運転していて、2日連続でシラフです。AAミーティングなんか行ったらスーパーヒーローです。日本人はAAミーティング知らない人多いですかね？これはアル中が集まって自分をアル中と認めた上で慰め合う集会です。飲酒運転で捕まると裁判所に命令されて行かされます。
福岡から活きてるトコブシ入ってます。ぜひどうぞ。

It’s Sunday morning but I come earlier to prepare ingredients. Because Japan plays World Cup today, I need to finish preparing before the match.

日曜日ですが早く出てきて仕込みしてます。サッカー始まる前に終わらせないと。

Of course, in a sushi restaurant, if the fish isn’t good, customers won’t come. That’s why I work hard to source the best fish possible.

To be honest, I’d love to tell the story behind every single fish and explain the thought and effort that went into selecting it. But when the explanation gets too long, it can start to sound preachy, and I don’t like that. So I usually save those stories for when customers ask me about them at the counter.

あたりまえですが、寿司屋は魚がダメだとお客さん来ないので、一生懸命良い魚を入れる様努力しています。本当は1匹1匹どういう思いで仕入れたか書きたいけれど、文章が長くなると説教臭くて嫌なので、カウンターで聞かれた時だけ答えるようにしています。

The Sea of Japan coast in western Japan is known as the San’in region. It has plenty of attractions, including sand dunes, famous shrines, and many other sightseeing spots. The problem is that it’s not very easy to get there. The Shinkansen doesn’t run through the area, and it takes about three hours by train from Kyoto, so it’s a region that many people rarely have the chance to visit.

The next time I go to Japan, I’d really like to stop by and explore it myself.

Today’s horse mackerel and sardines are from the San’in region. The horse mackerel, in particular, is the famous “Donchicchi Aji,” one of the highest-quality brands of horse mackerel in Japan. It’s absolutely outstanding.

The Japanese media is completely focused on the World Cup right now. I remember being on a flight to Japan when a match was being broadcast live, and the entire cabin felt like a sports bar.

The highest grade of tuna is wild-caught Pacific bluefin tuna, line-caught. It is absolutely delicious.

The highest grade of Wagyu is known as virgin Wagyu, meaning a female cow that has never given birth. Its fat has a lower melting point, giving it a particularly delicate texture and rich flavor.

I went a short trip to Vegas last weekend. I tried a fusion restaurant where I usually don’t like. However, it was very impressive. I felt like the words what we are often whispering in this industry, Swangy(sweet and tangy), Swicy(sour and spicy), Swavory(sweet and savory), that kinds. I want to do traditional in my jobs, but I also want to input these essences into my jobs sometimes.

連休してベガスに行ってきました。勉強の為と、普段私が忌み嫌う創作料理屋を選びましたが、これが悪くない。我々アメリカの料理業界で囁かれているスワイシー(酸っぱくて甘い)とかスワンギー(甘くて辛い)とかスウェイボリー(甘くて塩っぱい)とかの流行語がモロに反映されていました。だからと言って私がこういう料理を出す事はありませんが、こういった新しいエッセンスは常に注入していきたいですね。

We will be closed tomorrow.

In Japan, there is a traditional belief that if a six-year-old child starts learning something on June 6, they will master it and achieve success. My son is already 16, so he’s about ten years late, but I’m going to have him start studying math today and see how it goes.
