The Internet’s Own Boy The Salt of the Earth Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present Page One: Inside the New York TimesNakazawa is from a New York-based restaurant group The Purple World of Tiyi Today I want to talk about Jiro, a sushi shokunin. The meaning of shokunin is craftsman or artisan as my mum told me. This post is about Jiro the owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro a sushi restaurant which earned three Michelin stars in 2008. Last week I watched a documentary film about Jiro with my mum.

Jiro is more than a shokunin. He's a sushi master. Even Joel Robuchon, the French chef said that Jiro is one of the best chef in the world. In the documentary ''Jiro dreams of sushi'' you can see that making sushi is an art and Jiro is the best. Here is a list of ''the five attributes of a great chef'' by the Japanese food critic Yamamoto. Take your work seriously Be a better leader than a collaborator Be passionate about your work link And I think that Jiro is exactly like that. Jiro is now 85 years old and he says that he doesn't plan to retire. The meals at Jiro's only revolve around sushi and they buy there fish at the famous Tsukiji fish market. To eat at his restaurant you have to book at least a year in advance and it costs minimum 30.000 yen. I noticed that at Jiro customers were eating with their fingers. Apparently, it is because originally Japanese used to eat sushi with their fingers bacause sushi shops were close to onsens and people used to eat them just after a bath.

It was kind of street food. Jiro is always looking at ways to do better sushi. sushi delivery london e17He said that for the sushi with octopus he decided to massage the octopus for one hour before cooking it. sushi grade fish el pasoHe said because of that it tastes better. sushi delivery london e17Jiro also dreams about sushi. sushi grade fish borough marketHe always want to do better sushi it is why he doesn't want to retire. jiro dreams of sushi cinematographyIt is sad for his eldest son because he is already old but he cannot be the real chef of the restaurant. jiro dreams of sushi no reservations

But when the Michelin came to the restaurant it was actually him who made the sushi that day.jiro dreams of sushi phoenix Jiro is very modest but he is always criticizing himself thinking that he can do better. His two sons graduated high school and then began being an apprentice for there father. To become a sushi shokunin you have to train at least 10 years.  In the documentary there was not any woman apprentice because it is a really difficult and physical work. It is so difficult that most apprentice stay only one day. In the movie, one of the apprentice said that it took him months to do the Japanese rolled omelette (dashimaki tamago) that you do some sushi with. All the time Jiro was not happy and keep on trowing it what he did. One day he finally did it right. He was so happy that he cried. My mum also told me that some Japanese think that women cannot be sushi shokunin because their temperature is too high and they can spoil the fish.

It is a really good movie. If you love sushi you should watch it. It is in Japanese with English subtitles. The subtitles were not that good and with my mum we have to check sometimes what they said because they were differences between the Japanese and the English translation. Also when you look at Jiro's work you realize that you never ate real sushi. I ate really good sushi at the Tsukiji fish market but I really want to go to Jiro restaurant or at his son restaurant in Roppongi. Back to home page You might also like: My name is Tiyi.
