My Review-
This is possibly my new favorite documentary. For one it's about food, second this man is a genius, he makes everything look so good. Also to hear people praise the food and to hear them talk in detail about the food and how much they love it. This movie made me want to go to Japan and want to eat a that Sushi restuarant, even though if its booked a month ahead of time and costs $300 a plate. Jiro has such a great passion for food, and it shows with how he talks about it, how he prepares and still after all these years and at the age of 80 he still believes he has not perfected making sushi, he still believes he can be better. I was in awe the whole time how everyone praised this man, and how everyone wanted to work for him and learn from his art form of making sushi the almost perfect way, but with such delicacy and how he cared about every single one of his customers that went to eat at the restaurant. I really do not want to say anymore, because this documentary should be watched. For many reasons, one of them being that when you watch it you will see how much passion this man puts into his cooking and how he loves what he does. I would like for people to see this, it is very good and worth the watch, and it might even make you hungry even if you do not like sushi.
