Noble Village, known for the popular Noble Fish sushi restaurant and White Wolf Japanese patisserie, will be opening two new Asian food halls in Metro Detroit. The first, a 12,000-square-foot location, will be in Clawson at the site of the existing Noble Fish and White Wolf locations. This hall will incorporate the existing brands, expand seating and offerings, and include a ramen counter and a cocktail bar. The Clawson food hall is expected to open in phases beginning in March and include an adjacent grocery section and a larger grab-and-go selection. The second project, a massive 34,000-square-foot food hall in Novi, will be at the current location of One World Market, a Japanese grocery store owned by the same group. This location will be significantly larger and include more food concepts including a cocktail bar, an Asian fried chicken concept, a sandwich concept, an Izakaya restaurant, an expansive second floor theater space, and an expanded marketplace including an Asian spirits section. It is projected to open within a couple of years. Doran Brooks, director of business development for Noble Village Group, joined us on the show to talk about not only the two major upcoming expansions, but his story and things he's learned over the years as a restauranteur.

Izakaya è un format molto comune in Giappone, un negozio dove ci si ritrova per sedersi, condividere piatti in compagnia e bere in allegria. Spesso sono spazi piccoli e specializzati, magari solo in ramen o yakitori. "Noi, però, abbiamo voluto creare un concetto più ampio: un contenitore che offra varietà e soddisfi il desiderio di sperimentare dei nostri ospiti. Uniamo convivialità e qualità in un format che, in Italia, è ancora poco conosciuto", spiegano i due soci Claudio Alessandro Musiani e Nicolò Ribuffo.

The person who introduced herself as Yui accidentally flicked the sushi with wasabi on it with her chopsticks at the table across from him. The sushi sliced through the air like a sword, and smoke wafted from the red gourd placed in the middle of the lively and exotic Izakaya Michinoku in Tokyo.Ja: ハルトは目の前に現れた飛行の寿司に驚き、"おおっ"と声を上げてしまった。ユイは着物の袖で口を覆い、にっこりと彼に向かって微笑んだ。“ごめんなさい、ハルト。また箸が滑っちゃって。” と言いながら、ユイは小さく頭を下げて謝る。その一部始終を見ていた周囲の居酒屋の客や店員は、笑い声や声援を送っていた。En: Hart was surprised by the flying sushi that appeared before him and exclaimed, "Oh!" Yui covered her mouth with the sleeve of her kimono and smiled at him sweetly. "I'm sorry, Hart. My chopsticks slipped again," she said while bowing slightly in apology. The customers and staff at the Izakaya who witnessed the whole incident laughed and cheered.Ja: ハルトはユイの謝罪に振り向き、しょうがないと言う顔で微笑むと、自分からユイに寿司を手渡す。ユイは感謝の気持ちを込めて、ハルトの手から寿司を受け取ると、今度は落ち着いてそれを口へ運び、丁寧に噛んで味わう。En: Hart turned to Yui and smiled in resignation at her apology, then handed sushi to her from his own plate. With gratitude, Yui accepted the sushi from Hart's hand, calmly brought it to her mouth, and savored it carefully.Ja: そして、肩を寄せ合いながら、二人は笑顔で東京の夜を共有した。ユイが箸を使おうとして寿司を飛ばしてしまった騒ぎは、新たな思い出となって彼らの心に刻まれた。それはハルトとユイの心を繋げ、さらに絆を深め、ユイが押し花にしていた純真な気持ちを開花させたのだ。En: Shoulder to shoulder, the two shared the Tokyo night with smiles. The commotion caused by Yui flinging sushi with her chopsticks became a new memory etched in their hearts. It connected Hart and Yui's hearts, deepened their bond further, and allowed Yui's innocent feelings, which she had pressed as flowers, to bloom.Ja: その夜、東京のど真ん中で起きたちょっとした出来事が、ハルトとユイの間に生まれた新たな物語の始まりだった。そして彼らは、箸を使った奇妙な出来事を通じて、より深くお互いを理解することができたのだ。二人は笑ってその夜を終え、"箸のエピソード"は彼らの間の思い出となり、その思い出は永遠に彼らの心に残ることだろう。En: That night, a small incident in the heart of Tokyo marked the beginning of a new story between Hart and Yui. Through the strange event with the chopsticks, they were able to understand each other more deeply. They ended the night with laughter, and the "Chopstick Episode" became a memory between them, one that would remain in their hearts forever.

For Yuki, it was a beloved sanctuary. On that day too, she dreamed of basking in the flickering lantern light to warm up.Ja: 居酒屋は木製のテーブルと椅子で埋め尽くされ、香ばしい焼肉の匂いと焼酎の香りが融合した空気が店内に満ちていた。雑談や笑い声が響く中、ゆきは独りで静かに飲み物を傾けていた。En: The izakaya was filled with wooden tables and chairs, and the air was filled with the blend of savory grilled meat and shochu fragrance. Amidst the chatter and laughter, Yuki quietly sipped her drink alone.Ja: 酔っ払った男性がゆきの隣に座り、誤って彼女のビールと自分の焼酎を交換してしまった。しかし、ゆきはその間違いに気づくのが遅すぎた。 "ほほう、このビール、なかなかの味だな"と男性がふくれっつらでゆきに語りかけると、彼女は一瞬で事の顛末を理解した。しかし、その時、男性はすでにゆきの焼酎をほとんど飲み干してしまっていた。En: A drunken man sat next to Yuki and accidentally swapped her beer with his shochu. However, Yuki noticed the mistake too late. "Hmm, this beer has quite a taste," the man said with a puffed-up expression, and Yuki instantly understood what had happened. However, by then, the man had already almost finished Yuki's shochu.Ja: 困惑しながらも、ゆきはただ笑って彼に焼酎とビールを交換した事を話した。「けれども、瓶を戻すのは無理だろうね、もうあなたが飲んでしまったから」En: Confused but smiling, Yuki simply laughed and told him that they had exchanged drinks. "But it's impossible to switch back the bottles now since you already drank it."Ja: 男性は顔を赤らめて謝罪し、彼の優しさにほっとしたゆきは、この誤解をきっかけに新しい友達ができたと思った。そして、交換された焼酎とビールが心地よい対話を生み出した事に感謝した。En: The man blushed and apologized, and Yuki, relieved by his kindness, thought that this misunderstanding had led to a new friendship. She thanked the pleasant conversation that the exchanged shochu and beer had generated.Ja: 「また一杯飲むか?」と男性が言うと、ゆきはにっこりと笑った。「もちろん、でも次回はあなたがおごる番ね」En: "Another drink?" the man asked, and Yuki smiled. "Of course, but next time it's your turn to treat."Ja: やがて、冬の夜は遅くなり、居酒屋の中はさらに賑わいを見せた。ゆきと男性はテーブルを囲んで笑い、誤った飲み物の交換が彼らの友情の始まりとなったのだ。長い物語のあるとても簡単なレベルの一つとなり、さらに一晩を続けたのであった。En: As the winter night grew late, the izakaya became livelier.

By serving Ryō, the door to a comedy was opened, and Hikari was inadvertently caught up in it.Ja: リョウがヒカリのテーブルに近づくと、彼女は大きく笑い、彼のジョークを楽しんでた。リョウはワインのボトルを開けると、なんとヒカリの顔に一部がこぼれた。リョウの驚きの表情とヒカリの笑顔が一瞬で入れ替わり、周りの客たちまでが笑い出した。片手に自分の眼鏡を持ち、もう一方の手でワインを持って立ったまま凍りついたリョウと、ヒカリの顔まで赤く染まってしまった。En: As Ryō approached Hikari's table, she burst into laughter, enjoying his jokes. When Ryō opened a bottle of wine, a small portion spilled onto Hikari's face. In an instant, Ryō's expression of surprise and Hikari's smile exchanged places, and even the surrounding customers burst into laughter. With one hand holding his glasses and the other hand holding the wine, Ryō stood frozen, while Hikari's face turned red.Ja: その夜、ヒカリとリョウはお互いに気まずい笑いを共有し、互いの下手ないたずらを祝った。リョウはヒカリに新しいワインをすぐに提供し、皆の笑い声の中で彼女の笑顔を見た。物語の中心となる対立の導火線を切ったのは紛れもなくワインで、満足のいく結論に達するためには、笑いながら乾杯するしかなかったのだ。En: That night, Hikari and Ryō shared awkward laughter and celebrated each other's clumsy pranks. Ryō quickly offered Hikari a new glass of wine and saw her smile amidst the laughter of everyone present. Undoubtedly, it was the wine that sparked the central conflict in the story, and to reach a satisfactory conclusion, they had no choice but to toast while laughing.Ja: その瞬間、居酒屋は一体となり、二人の間のコミカルな瞬間とともに喜びで満ち溢れた。ある晩の出来事、酒をこぼすという出来事がリョウとヒカリの間の何かを変え、二人の絆を深めるキッカケになった。そしてその夜、二人は居酒屋が閉店するまで、互いに何も言わずただ眼差しで会話を続けた。En: In that moment, the izakaya became one, filled with joy alongside the comical moments between the two. The incident of spilling the wine on that particular evening changed something between Ryō and Hikari, becoming the catalyst for deepening their bond. And that night, until the izakaya closed, the two continued to converse wordlessly through their gazes.Ja: それが、リョウとヒカリの物語の始まりでした。最終的には、ふたりの関係性の中には当惑や恥ずかしさ、そして喜びが満ちていました。後にふたりは思い出すでしょう。あの酒をこぼした夜を、そしてその夜から始まった物語を。En: That was the beginning of Ryō and Hikari's story. Eventually, their relationship was filled with confusion, embarrassment, and joy. They would later reminisce about that night when the wine was spilled, and the story that began from that night.

This episode of CHEF Radio is brought to you by DryAger, the world's leader in dry aging technology. Embarking on the journey of a sushi chef involves an unparalleled commitment—one that extends far beyond the ordinary expectations for culinary excellence. Often, to begin that journey, one must apprentice for years under an Itamae, or sushi master, working hard to learn even the most humble tasks before earning the privilege to handle crucial elements like rice, scallions, and ginger. In the realm of high-end sushi, these seemingly ordinary duties bear significant weight. In today's podcast, Chef Jesse Ito shares his journey with us from being the son of a sushi chef to becoming one of the most celebrated sushi chefs in America today. Here's what else was discussed: How Jesse's star is rising as a twice-selected James Beard finalist How his restaurant has exceeded his expectations after seven years in business His father being one of the founding sushi chefs in the Philadelphia area, and how that came about Fuji restaurant in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia, and how it used to be a very sketchy area, including some questionable “motels” with mirrors on the ceiling. Growing up in a restaurant and running around with king crab shells on his head as a child The very notable chefs that would come in to have his father cook for them Why a great dishwasher is worth its weight in gold How Jesse worked his way up in his father's restaurant to be a sushi chef before he was 20 years old Finding his partners at Royal Sushi and Izakaya, and how that relationship began Why Jesse slices his fish before each service and why the temperature of the fish is so important but often overlooked The importance of rice and sushi and why it is the most important part of the Nigri experience. Jesse talks about his technique What the actual definition of the word sushi is and why it applies to preservation How the great earthquake in 1923 changed the game for sushi chefs and allowed them to come indoors after traditionally serving from street carts The way Jesse supplies his fish, how the topography of the Asian Pacific Ocean is different than that of the rest of the world, and why it factors into the price of the product The reverence that the Japanese hold their fish in versus how American fisheries treat their product How dry aging has begun to change the game in sushi and why it makes the product more interesting, according to Jesse Jesse's decision to stop drinking and begin to live a cleaner lifestyle and how that has allowed him to become an even better leader, business owner, and chef Jesse reads his vision statement and mission statement that he originally had in 2016 and how it continues to be applied to the work he does today A huge shout out to our sponsor Singer Equipment for their unwavering support, which allows us to be able to bring these conversations to you.

When he opened his popular and award-winning restaurant Rintaro, Sylvan Mishima Brackett wanted to serve “the kind of food you'd expect if the Bay Area were a region of Japan.” At Rintaro, you'll find dishes like yakitori brushed with tare sauce and seared on a binchotan grill, chicken and cheese katsu atop snowy piles of cabbage, and toothsome udon noodles piled in a clear, umami-packed broth. Now you can try to recreate these dishes that have brought raves from customers and critics at home with the “Rintaro” cookbook, which the New York Times just named one of the best cookbooks of the year.

You can use this to suggest a plan to close friends or family members. For the Ru-verb, take “る” off, and add “よう”. For the U-verb, change the final vowel “う” to “お”, and add “う”.   The vowel "お" is followed by "う", so "う" is not pronounced, and "お" vowel should be extended.   それでは はじめていきましょう!

For many years a Sake Tasting Competition has been held for selected sake sommeliers from across the country in Tokyo to challenge their tasting skills and knowledge. This year the Brewing Society of Japan has released a special tasting kit, that can be bought by anyone (depending on the availability of it, of course) to help sake professionals and people who strive to learn more about how to evaluate sake, to test and train their tasting abilities.In this very special episode of Sake on Air, we decided to give it a try and with the help of the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association, we both got our hands on the sake-tasting kit and an invitation to the competition. So in this 2-part episode, we will share with you how both went. Along with some useful tips and knowledge on how to improve your tasting abilities and hone in on the skills needed to master them.In the first part of this episode, you will hear from Chris Hughes, Rebekah Wilson-Lye and Cindy Bissig about the tasting kit with some interview snippets of Sebastien Lemoine and Marie Nagata on how they got on. From a more simple just recognizing sweet vs dry, to determining which sake sample had higher Succinic acid along with a smell test. Spoiler alert, there were some surprising comments with the conclusion of Chris Hughes sharing that it was an incredibly humbling but super valuable experience, that he would love to have another go at one day and he is not alone in that.As we reach the 2nd half of this week's episode, we will focus on the “42nd Japanese Tasting Competition” that we joined. In which the best Sake Sommeliers from all around Japan come together to “battle” it out over two rounds, a written knowledge and a taste test. As well as, some helpful tips on how to get better at conquering similar tests and more insights from our hosts on sake competition, appraisals, and easy ways to replicate some of these challenges in the comfort of your own home or local Izakaya. As always, let us know what you think about this week's episode and your experience in sake tasting. We would love to know what other strategies people have in place to effortlessly asses a beverage (sake or not), so do let us know!

Born and raised in South Africa, Nick's heart was set on being a world-class chef from an early age. Nick's burning passion for cooking led him to Sydney, where he enrolled in a rigorous four-year cooking school course. He completed it in under three years, going on to sharpen his skills at some of the city's most luxurious hotels.Nick's next stop was Tokyo, landing a position at Iron Chef Sakai Hirotia's restaurant, La Rochelle, before spending a year in Paris working for two of the city's most renowned Michelin-starred chefs, Pascal Barbot at L'Astrance and Alain Passard at L'Arpège. His culinary excellence did not go unnoticed, being tapped to work under Justin North at Becasse in Sydney before making his way to New Zealand to work for Simon Wright at The French Café, an icon in the kiwi fine dining scene.His talent led him to leading several award-winning restaurants in Auckland such as Dallow's, Cru at Sale St, and The Commons Restaurant, as well as Everybody's Izakaya. Nick then stepped out on his own, creating two acclaimed restaurants - Auckland's Paris Butter (Two Hats), and his seasonal restaurant, Le Petit Léon, nestled in the serene south of France.Paris Butter is an amalgamation of fine dining techniques and interpretative French cuisine, all of which have been innovatively adapted to celebrate New Zealand's famous local produce with the occasional playful nod to Antipodean nostalgia. Nick's cuisine has made Paris Butter a fixture in Cuisine Magazine's Top 50, a favourite of diners, chefs and critics alike.Le Petit Léon, which he runs alongside model-turned-restaurant manager, sommelier and wife, Sina Honeyman, showcases Nick's thoughtfully-crafted cuisine in a countryside setting bursting with hospitality, family, authenticity, and a true love for their local community.Nick Honeyman's influence has surpassed the kitchen, leading his own show, "The Best of New Zealand with Nick Honeyman," as well as appearing in the ever-popular My Kitchen Rules and Masterchef.Websites https://restaurantlepetitleon.fr/https://parisbutter.co.nz/Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/restaurantlepetitleon/https://www.instagram.com/parisbutter/https://www.instagram.com/chefhoneyman/
