Sanchez pays homage to a sushi master

Injured Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez visited the John Krtil Funeral Home on First Avenue on Wednesday to pay his final respects to Shin Tsujimura, the charismatic sous-chef at Nobu 57, who died suddenly last Sunday.

Shin was eulogized by another Nobu regular, “Bizarre Foods” host Andrew Zimmern, who said: “The hospitality business is all about taking care of people’s happiness, being responsible for it while they are under your roof. Shin Tsujimura embodied that ideal. Shin had a huge smile, an amazing laugh and was one of the best people you will ever meet.”
