Jiro dreams of Sushi


Hi all, going to talk about work today:-), but not about work as an activity you do on a daily basis. This is a story of a person who has dedicated his entire live to the one thing he knows, and this thing is none other than sushi. That's right it's the story of Jiro and how he dreams of sushi...

So before you start asking yourself who the hell is Jiro and what's so special about him, want to say that I knew about him quite recently when I watched this documentary film dedicated to his work in sushi. The name of this movie is Jiro Dreams Of Sushi.
As I said before this is a movie which presents itself as a documentary dedicated to the life and work of a Japanese chef, Jiro. As you all know, I'm a big fan of Japanese food. Guess, it's due to my recent change in direction as regards to food (remember Eat Your Veggies?). And while watching this movie I felt the very essence of this food, culture and all that it implies.

Next thing I withdrew here is Discipline (that's right with a capital "D"). You see, Jiro is the kind of person who is what you'll call a workaholic. The kind of person who works 75 years on the same job and never had a day off, but for a funeral or some other "real" reason. Just looking at Jiro working and looking at the way he approaches the ethics connected to his work is absolutely mind blowing. I for one has never seen anything of this nature before. A real perfectionist and a chef of a caliber never matched before in sushi. One of the best things I've watched these days. Hope you guys feel the same...
