Naoko, fortunately has the opportunity to visit many of the Sushi House in Los Angeles and her critiques of these restaurants are fantastic. She saves me a great deal of time in deciding where to dine. Naoko, Have a Happy Thanksgiving and I continue to be thankful for your recommendations

Arrigato gozaimashita Naoko-san. You are a delightful, sweet, generous person. I consider myself fortunate because our paths have crossed and am certain that anyone who makes your acquaintance feels the same. Your culinary descriptions and recipes are superb, this journey has been wonderful!

Naoko is one of the coolest friends I met via Yahoo 360. Her insight to culinary art caused me extra trips to the frige and extra calories consumed after late night hours.... but I love visiting Noako's page. It makes me feel connected with the world after being disconnected for days at a time.

Naoko is that kind of woman anyone would love to have as a friend. Her cooking creativity, her delicate taste, her information about Japanese dishes, make me view her as serving her country as an 'ambassador' to the Yahoo 360º community. Isn't food an essential part of a country's culture?

Naoko is a wonderful woman who shares her love of 'good' food with all of us. It's always a pleasure to read about her enjoying something I enjoy or learning something new. She is a kind person and I can tell how much she loves her family and friends. I'm happy to have met her :)

No other blog inspires me to leave my house, job, mate and life and run off in the woods to become the next IRON CHEF like Naoko's does! Quiet...don't let my husband know I told you that! Heehee.

I really admire your dedication. Your passion for fine cuisine really reaches out to many people including myself. I am honored to be part of it. Thank you for sharing such wonderful experiences. I am looking forward to read more about your reviews.

I can see the title of the NY Times bestseller, "Naoko's Story: The Art of Good Living and Good Eating" Thank you for brightening my days. What is the Japanese expression for: "I am honored"?

Naoko brings a refreshing experience to learning about the Japanese culture and cuisine. Her approach is very warm and welcoming. It is a pure delight and an honor to have a great friend such as Naoko-san. Arigato gozaimasu for all that you share with us. Warmest wishes to you and yours. :)
