The Full Toshi Kasahara Teriyaki Interview

Yesterday I put up a post that I claimed was a longer version of the interview with Toshi. I accidentally put up the abridged Youtube version on that post.

Here is the actual extended interview.

Comments

that was so much fun. Toshi is very reluctant to claim any 'ownership' or pride for the impact he had on the local cuisine. Such a charming man. And there is no need for him to feel apologetic about not becoming a US citizen. If he is lucky enough to retain strong ties to Japan, he shouldn't sacrifice his ability to go back someday.

You know that feeling for cooking after you get done watching Chef? This did the same.

So wholesome.

I love your interviewing style, and the directions you took the conversation. I've watched a lot of long interviews, mostly with jazz musicians. My favorite interviewers are those who research their subject, show up with good questions, and go into listen mode. A "good" subject may carry on for 4-5 minutes, others will respond with short answers, making you work at it. It seems like Toshi was that kind of subject, and you managed to get great responses.
