Jiro Dreams of Sushi Trailer

JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is the story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world's greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro's sushi bar.

For most of his life, Jiro has been mastering the art of making sushi, but even at his age he sees himself still striving for perfection, working from sunrise to well beyond sunset to taste every piece of fish; meticulously train his employees; and carefully mold and finesse the impeccable presentation of each sushi creation. At the heart of this story is Jiro's relationship with his eldest son Yoshikazu, the worthy heir to Jiro's legacy, who is unable to live up to his full potential in his father's shadow.

The feature film debut of director David Gelb, JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is a thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection, chronicling Jiro's life as both an unparalleled success in the culinary world, and a loving yet complicated father.

Beethoven's 7th was also used in NODAME CANTABILE. I believe Nodame is where I first discovered Beethoven's 7th. Already knew about the 5th and 9th.

Zero fucks given for haters, this guy is legendary

LOL are you kidding? This man has devoted 50+ years to his business. Until you do something even half as incredible, fuck off will ya.

>.< you're the problem with today's society. Its not about expanding your facility. More like expanding your craft/skill. Tbh, for a "rinky dink cubby" to get 3 stars, says a lot. Like a giant middle finger to all who claim to be better because of the place they're in

Great doc, beautifully shot. 

[ravishingelite]

[joeyjobear]

Pretentious bullshit. The all of it.
