However, I think the gentleman running the sushi bar in the original article has no big money worries if he is charging $600 a head for 10 seats with half hour turnaround!
And do you think that is a product of "lucky" celeb status (if there really is such a thing) or deliberate sales/marketing (performed either by himself or others, perhaps even without his direct approval) over the last 60 years?
- keithpeter 14y agoI agree with you that the gentleman who runs the sushi bar must have had an eye to his reputation; perhaps capitalising on an early press article or some kind of favourable review. Small traders have an eye to their marketing as well as the craft, they are 'canny' in my experience. I suspect that zoned out coders may be less well equipped in this area. One of my favourite examples of a very canny maker is Sakuma San... http://www10.big.or.jp/~dh/sakuma/index.html http://www10.big.or.jp/~dh/sakuma/index.html Mr Sakuma has spent much his spare time building thermionic valve amplifiers ('tube' in US) of a minimal and historically informed kind. Valve technology is simple, with low component counts, and can sound excellent, but tends to be 'tuned' to a specific kind of music/programme material.
