Absorbing, inspiring and (at times) amusing. I heard it was good. I was not expecting it be quite so compelling, considering it is about Sushi.I was hoping for a very passionate story about Sushi, but it's more like a news report. A must for all foodies . Incredible insight into the painstaking training and commitment of a Michelin starred chef. Beautiful film, it stayed with me years after first watching it.

Chef Jiro's Secrets of Success Challenges with Shrimp and Octopus This article is about the head chef of Sukiyabashi Jiro. For the Japanese politician, see Jiro Ono (politician). Jiro Ono (小野 二郎 Ono Jirō?, born 27 October 1925) is a Japanese chef and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a three-Michelin-starred Japanese sushi restaurant in Ginza, Chūō, Tokyo, Japan.[1] Ono has been regarded by his contemporaries and peers as the greatest sushi craftsman alive and is credited with innovating methods used in modern sushi preparation. Ono was born in the city of Tenryū (present-day Hamamatsu) in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.[3] He started working at a local restaurant from the age of seven, before moving to Tokyo to study as an apprentice.[3] He became a qualified sushi chef in 1951, and in 1965 opened his own restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro, in Ginza, Tokyo.

Ono has two sons, Yoshikazu Ono and Takashi Ono, both of whom are also sushi chefs. His younger son Takashi manages his own Michelin-starred restaurant. Jiro Ono was the subject of David Gelb's 2011 documentary film Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Ono fears that overfishing will cause key ingredients used in traditional sushi to disappear. Ono has served Shinzo Abe and Barack Obama at Sukiyabashi Jiro.[6] Obama stated, "I was born in Hawaii and ate a lot of sushi, but this was the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life."Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)This delectable documentary profiles sushi chef Jiro Ono, an 85-year-old master whose 10-seat, $300-a-plate restaurant is legendary among Tokyo foodies.

While enjoying the diversity and uncertainties of a varied life, I will always be inspired by (and in part a little envious of) those who discover a talent for something at an early age and then apply it to forge a narrow path for the rest of their days.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a beautiful and thoughtful portrait of someone who has done that with the kind of commitment and discipline that can only come from a monomaniacal obsession. Other Reasons To Watch Gelb's approach reflects the simplicity and minimalism of Jiro's methods, such as the brief running time, the carefully selected music, and the brushstroke characterizations of Jiro's subordinates.
