The 85-year-old Jiro Ono is considered by many to be the world's greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of 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 pilgrimages, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro's sushi bar.

f submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 12:16pm i thought it was funny that the main character liked sushi and was asian.

Fantastic film submitted by asopijw65 on July 11, 2014, 12:49am A great documentary about Jiro Ono. This film really showed his passion for his craft. It also showcased his eldest son and the trials and expectations that he will face when he has to live up to his father's image.

A Cultural Journey submitted by Luisa Scavo on July 24, 2014, 9:08am A view not only at some beautiful food but the people who make it, the people who dedicate their lives to the craft. Full of small glimpses of humanity and small glimpses of a culture, too.
