Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) by Adrian B — 03 Nov 2013

Unusual documentary in which looks at a man named Jiro Ono, an entrepreneur that owns his own 3-star sushi restaurant in Japan. There is really not much else to describe here. All this is of a man who dedicates his life to making sushi for customers with complete precision.

He is also considered such a perfectionist that he has driven employees away (and made his sons fear him). Yet, this film works in that it looks at the process of preparing the ingredients for the sushi, as well the logistics of buying them.

It is also discusses the history behind the California roll. I actually liked this film, despite the limited subject matter.
