Our favorite Japanese sushi chef – Oki – is at it again, this time providing step-by-step instructions on how to make the evil lord Darth Vader out of a carrot. He owns a restaurant called Minayoshi in Kadoma City, Osaka, and is a big fan of the Star Wars films.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Muppets, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I take out my frustrations on people on the hockey rink using traditional Korean martial arts. I'm prejudiced against hipsters.
