3. Jiro Dreams Of Sushi
I should probably point out that I fucking love sushi, it made this film all the more brilliant. I almost booked myself a ticket to Tokyo for this dude.
The film follows 3 Michelin star chef Jiro Ono and his little sushi restaurant which seats about 6 people and is located in a Tokyo tube station. He is known for being the best sushi chef alive and if you want to eat at his place you’ll need to book about 6 months in advance. What the hell, right?
Jiro’s son is due to take over from him when he meets the great California Roll in the sky. Thats a shit load of pressure on that poor dude; he’s going to be slated for making inferior sushi. Don’t miss the ‘Tuna Dealer’ who, I swear to God is a slicked back hair, Japanese version of Heisenberg. Great stuff.
Worth a mention: Some Chinese girl managed to get a reservation and demanded her sushi be cooked – she understandably got kicked out of the restaurant. What a mug.
