We take a look at a popular sushi restaurant that maintains tradition while putting a new twist on their ingredients, as well as a high-end shop that has begun to reconsider their rigorous training to nurture young chefs, as we explore new trends in this cuisine that is loved around the world.

Clothing holds the hidden potential to uplift our spirits. One designer who previously suffered from social withdrawal created a dress with a certain special feature in the pockets for people who for just leaving the house can be an anxiety inducing event. Another artist runs costume making workshops to emphasize unapologetic self-expression. Come along as we introduce efforts to reach people's hearts through the things we wear.
