Crisp has many enemies: entropy and laziness. Time, compromises, and false shortcuts are also opponents. Fear is another opponent. Fear is the most important emotion.
It is rare that things crisp up on their own. It takes time and care. The ume shiso roll starts with a piece of crisp nori. But within minutes, the hand-roll becomes soggy, even though it contains the same ingredients.
If we take the time to do so, uniforms, linens and service can be impeccable.
