Besides his current main blog page "Nikkei View", Gil has contributed to numerous publications. Examples are AARP, Discover Nikkei, The Denver Post, The Huffington Post, just to name a few.

Although he’s been a writer and editor all his career, Gil’s educational background is art. He has a BFA in painting. You can appreciate his paintings and photographs in WELCOME TO THE GILLERY.


Surprisingly, Gil is even more gifted. He’s a serious home cook. And that’s why Gil is using Syosaku Gyuto and Nakiri knives and Urushi Glass Plates.
In addition to the products that he is enjoying is this Sujihiki Knife (Slicer knife) form Syosaku.


"A gorgeous 9.5 inch Sujihiki, or flesh-slicing knife, engraved with "Asakawa" on it. Very cool that they have that (name engraving).
I've never thought of myself as a pro-cook or a chef but using the right tools makes me feel like being on the next level.
It brings me joy, the process of cooking so much more with a good knife. It turns cooking into a hobby - that's what I like about these kives from Syosaku.
These knives from Syosaku has helped elevate cooking into a hobby."
