Futoshi Ota has lofty goals for Noz, a new restaurant that brings the grand vision of his company one step closer to reality.

"I want people in Japan to know what real agriculture, what the real organic culture is like. What's a healthy way of eating." The president of T.Y. Farm Inc., the company behind the just-opened eatery on Tennozu Isle, doesn't stop there:

"I want Tokyo to be more of a real international city," he says. "It looks like one, but it isn't 100 percent there yet."
