"The film follows Jiro Ono (小野 二郎 Ono Jirō?), an 85-year-old sushi master and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a Michelin three-star restaurant, on his continuing quest to perfect the art of sushi. The film also profiles Jiro's two sons, both of whom are also sushi chefs. The younger son, Takashi (隆士), left Sukiyabashi Jiro to open a mirror image of his father's restaurant in Roppongi Hills. The 50-year-old elder son, Yoshikazu (禎一), obligated to succeed his father, still works for Jiro and is faced with the prospect of one day taking over the flagship restaurant."_wiki
An almost elegant documentary filmed about a perfectionist. Not only is the documentary about sushi and it is also about life. I found Mr. Ono to be quite knowledge and hardworking man who is still active in what he wants to do. The director David Gelb did a great job with everything, this documentary is the best one I've seen in quite a while. This kind of documentary will keep your focus for many reasons.
3.9/5
