“Shokunin is a Japanese word that describes, artist and craftsmanship but more deeply, the act of devoting your life to the pursuit of perfection. I am nowhere near perfect at anything, but this word and idea, is absolutely fascinating to me. It inspires me every time I put on an apron, every time I make rice and every time I slice fish. I think perfection is near impossible, but I would gladly spend the rest of my career in pursuit of making the perfect bite.”

I like the quote from the entrepreneur himself that you placed at the end of the post. That is a smart decision to be in the environment in which he planned on starting a business. I believe that is important to get a job in or related to what you are most passionate about. That way you can make living while doing what you love.
