Amazing Sushi


In my recent visit in San Francisco, I had one particularly beautiful evening (on March 22nd), led by Ito Sensei: he brought Roberto, myself, Jim and Jim's cousin to a delightful restaurant:

Kiss Sea Food Japanese Restaurant
1700 Laguna St
San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
(415) 474-2866

where Mr. Naka-san is the sole chef and owner of this tiny, beautiful, high quality establishment. With just himself and one waitress serving, he prepared delicious Sushi and variations, in harmony with the pottery and the general environment.

I was one of those rare evenings, where everything just seems beautiful. On top of that, we had just won the Jolt Productivity Award the day before, so we were radiant. So thank you all!

I had met Jim and his brother Lee a few months ago, when together with Laura we had a very nice evening too, at the Teatro del Sale restaurant, in Florence.

Wisława Szymborska

Discovery

I believe in the refusal to take part.
I believe in the ruined career.
I believe in the wasted years of work.
I believe in the secret taken to the grave.
These words soar for me beyond all rules
without seeking support from actual examples.
My faith is strong, blind, and without foundation.


I can't talk about her: onto such deepness of lively tenderness, what could I say? Just read read read her.
