Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on April 18, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Chef Kandagawa! Another year older, wiser, and still passionately defending traditional Japanese cuisine from the horrors of fusion cooking. Your legendary glare alone has scared countless sushi burritos back into hiding—truly a culinary superhero!

From your impeccable sashimi slicing skills to your fiery critiques of avocado-infused ramen, you've reminded us all that some classics should never be tampered with. May this birthday bring you joy as pure as your dashi broth and laughter as hearty as your disdain for teriyaki pizza. Here's to another year of delicious authenticity—and absolutely no mango tempura rolls in sight!
