If you spend time in Asia, you learn just how distinct different nations there are. What they have in common, though, is a profound work ethic and a great spirit of invention. One morning, I went into a Seoul tailor shop for a bespoke suit. I was duly measured and told to come back at 7 that evening. Why I asked. “First fitting,” the shop owner said. At 7, the thing was all basted up. “Come back tomorrow morning,” he demanded. “Pick up suit.” China, for example, didn’t become the world’s second biggest economic power by accident. Even chicken pad Thai, that staple of Asian cuisine, was invented in China. Now consider the case of Kinjo, a superb Japanese sushi and steakhouse in Saratoga Springs, NY.
