I felt that I’d accomplished a great feat.
I repeat to myself “Done. Not good.”
A couple of years ago, I went to Tokyo with my husband and I ate at the most remarkable sushi restaurant.
I don’t even eat fish. I’m vegan. So that tells you how good it was.
Even with just vegetables, this sushi was the stuff you dreamed about.
The restaurant had six seats.
My husband and I marveled at how anyone can make rice so superior to all other rice.
We wondered why they didn’t make a bigger restaurant and be the most popular place in town.
Our local friend explained to us that all the best restaurants in Tokyo are that small and do only one type of dish:
sushi or tempura or teriyaki, because they want to do that thing well and beautifully.
