JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI (2011)

Starring

Jiro Ono and Yoshikazu Ono Directed by

David Gelb Sushi is as much a culinary art form as it is something to eat, and this beautifully made documentary pays homage to the meticulous art of making sushi, along with Jiro’s lifelong pursuit of perfection for this craft. Owner of the Michelinrated restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro, the 85-year old chef constantly pushes the boundaries of innovation in Japanese cuisine, and his restaurant (that seats ten people at any given time) located in a Tokyo subway has had international A-list celebrities and world-renowned chefs dining here for a taste of Jiro’s perfect creations. Watch it with some sushi on your plate, chopsticks in your hand, and an appreciation for sushi chefs and their staunch commitment to this culinary art.
