Great watch, even if you never had sushi or don't like sushi. The extreme drive for perfection is admirable.
- MrJagil 11y agoYes, it's an excellent film. Makes you yearn for sushi, though you quickly realize that whatever sushi is in your vicinity, is not what you're actually craving; it's a taste of Jiro's mastery. Apparently, Tampopo is in a similar vein (though fiction) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092048/?ref_=fn_al_tt_9 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092048/?ref_=fn_al_tt_9
- kaeluka 11y agoTampopo is excellent. You must watch it. And I must watch it again.
- astrange 11y agoKeep in mind that Sushi Jiro isn't even in the top 10 (or 20?) ranked places in Tokyo on tabelog, although the low reviews might be since Jiro is so rude to everyone who comes in, especially the foreigners. Sushi Sawada is a 3 Michelin star place in Tokyo run by a former truck driver who's studied for less than ten years. http://www.andyhayler.com/restaurant/sushi-sawada http://www.andyhayler.com/restaurant/sushi-sawada
