Raw fish never looked so good
This documentary tells the story of Jiro who left his family at age 7. Since then he has worked hard to become a master sushi chef. Now at 85 years of age, Jiro's sushi restaurant is a Tokyo landmark which has been awarded 3 Michelin stars (their highest rating). At $300 per meal, it is a dining experience, one which requires advance booking, sometimes months in advance. This film is a cut above most documentaries. I don't even like sushi, but this film makes me want to eat some. What a great story and another great release from Magnolia Films!
