My Kibō team is large: an Advisory Council of dozens of volunteer recipe testers recruited through my newsletter and a smaller group that I have dubbed my Inner Circle who helped me vet and resolve a host of problems that arose along the way—taming wildcard recipes that stubbornly refused to yield consistent results, managing daunting administrative tasks (distributing, tracking, and collating assignments made to globally scattered council members), and affably acting as sounding board as I agonized, revised, and endlessly tweaked away. Thank you for staying the rough course with me.

A special note of thanks goes to Morrison Foerster, especially Michael A. Doherty (Partner, New York), Eric N. Roose (Partner, Tokyo), Michael H. Shikuma (Of Counsel, Tokyo), and Takeo Mizutani (Japanese Zeirishi [registered tax specialist], Tokyo) for patiently, professionally guiding me through the process of understanding, and then implementing, a charitable giving program.
Finally, no list of acknowledgments would be complete without including those who have provided me over the years with instruction and inspiration:
THE ANDOH FAMILY:
Atsunori, dear partner (husband) of forty-three years and unswerving supporter
Rena, our multitalented daughter, who can count fine cooking among her many accomplishments
Kiyoko, my mother-in-law and kitchen idol (deceased)
Teruko, Nobuko (Okashita), and Yohko (Yokoi), my sisters-in-law who generously share their culinary wisdom
THE YANAGIHARA FAMILY:
Master Toshio, my first teacher and mentor (deceased)
Master Kazunari and his wife, Noriko
Young Master Naoyuki
THE SAXE FAMILY:
Caroline, my mother (deceased), whose love of learning started me on a lifelong journey of discovery
David, my (nearly ninety-nine-year-old) father with whom I chat, briefly, every day—a comforting routine for us both
