Sheila McGraw has illustrated many children's books and written bestselling craft books. Kanai and Wolff - two friends bound by a love of food - sparked L.A.’s sushi obsession. Love You Forever is his internationally bestselling book with over 30 million copies sold. By the 1980s, sushi was ubiquitous, both as a cuisine and a cultural touchstone. When the owner of Kawafuku agreed to open a sushi bar at his Little Tokyo haunt, the effort got a major boost. The dream was to create the Southland’s sushi ecosystem. It would import the items needed to serve sushi - from the nori to the knives. It was Harry Wolff’s first encounter with the cuisine, and it sparked an idea that he shared with Noritoshi Kanai: If sushi could find purchase on the menus of L.A.’s Japanese restaurants, Kanai’s Mutual Trading Co. It started in Tokyo in 1965, with a meal shared by two friends in the food import business who made an unplanned stop at a sushi house. It took an unlikely alliance to make it happen.
Los Angeles is a sushi city - home to countless restaurants that treat raw fish with the sort of reverence usually reserved for religious rites.
