00:01If you would ask people today,

00:04who is the emperor of Japan?

00:06They won't know his name.

00:08But everybody knows Nobu.

00:11There are a handful of people

00:14who have changed the way the world eats.

00:16Nobu.

00:17Nobu.

00:18Nobu.

00:19The greatest ever Nobu.

00:25All the famous restaurants closing, closing, closing.

00:28Then I opened this one.

00:30He had an interview in a famous magazine.

00:33And Robert De Niro approached him and said,

00:35This food was so special.

00:37I told Nobu,

00:38if you want to open a restaurant in New York, let me know.

00:42Nobu expanded globally.

00:44London.

00:45Tokyo.

00:46Dubai.

00:47All over the world.

00:49He's serving the most famous people on the planet.

00:52His restaurants are always booked,

00:54often months in advance.

00:55We had 300 people on the waiting list every day.

01:00But in the beginning,

01:01people did not believe he would stay in business.

01:06It was not a huge success at first.

01:10I have no money, but I was very happy.

01:12It was really difficult.

01:13It was really difficult.

01:14But I finally made my own business.

01:15I finally made my own business.

01:19Then my partner called me.

01:24Nobu.

01:25Come to the restaurant.

01:26Fire.

01:27Fire.

01:32He really hit the lowest of the low.

01:40If it weren't for my mother,

01:42it would have been unbearable for them.

01:45Yoko.

01:46She saved my life.

01:48In the 80s, I remember sushi being,

01:50oh, he made sushi chic,

01:52and he made it the thing that everybody wanted to eat.

01:55We're gonna have our 30-year anniversary.

01:57It's not about fees.

01:58We're talking bigger picture.

02:01Oh, my God.

02:02Oh, my God.

02:04Nobu created his own world.

02:08I said, oh, my God.

02:09Who comes up with an idea like this?

02:14The heart of it is Nobu.

02:16If that wasn't there,

02:17we wouldn't have any of this.
