Jiro Dreams of Sushi
What defines deliciousness"?
Taste is tough to explain,
isn't it?
My mind was bursting with ideas.
I would wake up
in the middle of the night.
visions of sushi.
DAVID GEL:
Once you decide
on your occupation...
you must immerse yourself
in your work.
You have to fall in love
with your work.
Never complain about your job.
You must dedicate your life
to mastering your skill.
That's the secret of success...
and is the key
I have published several
restaurant guidebooks.
I went to every sushi, sobs, tempura,
and eel restaurant in Tokyo.
Nobody has eaten more
YAMAGATA, POD WRITER
Out of the hundreds
of restaurants that I ate at...
Jiros was the best by far.
When I went to Jiro the first time
I was nervous.
After going for years I am still nervous.
Jiro has a very stern look on his face
when he's making sushi.
It's comfortable for people who like
to have sushi served at a fast pace.
But for people who want to drink
and eat slowly while chatting...
It won't be a comfortable
eating experience.
All of the sushi is simple.
It's completely minimal.
Master chefs from around the world
eat at Jiro's and say...
How can something so simple
have so much depth in flavor?"
If you were to sum up Jiro's sushi
in a nutshell...
Ultimate simplicity leads to purity."
Excuse me.
Yes?
Do you have a pamphlet
for this restaurant?
We don't have pamphlets.
We only have business cards.
Could I have one please?
May I have one?
I came all the way from Shizuoka.
Here are a couple.
Can I make reservations?
Reservations are mandatory here.
How early do you need the reservation?
One month in advance.
One month in advance?
Yes.
Since it's February now,
we're taking reservations for March.
I see.
Reservations can be made
for lunch and dinner'?
Yes for both.
The price starts at 30,000 yen.
It starts at 30,000 yen.
Okay
depending on what's available at the market.
I see.
So it starts from 30,000 yen.
Can we order drinks
and appetizers to start?
We only serve sushi.
We don't have appetizers.
Really
- Yes.
You don't have any other dishes?
- No.
Only sushi
- Yes.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
For fast eaters a meal
there might last only fifteen minutes.
In that sense it's the most
expensive restaurant in the world.
convinced it's worth the price.
YOSHIKAZY, JIRO'S OLDER SON
We're not trying
to be exclusive or elite.
The techniques we use are no big secret.
It's just about making an effort
and repeating the same thing every day.
There are some
who are born with a natural gift.
Some have a sensitive palate
and sense of smell.
That's what you call
natural talent."
In this line of business...
if you take it seriously,
you'll become skilled.
But if you want to make a mark
in the world, you have to have talent.
The rest is how hard you work.
He repeats the same routine everyday.
He even gets on the train
from the same position.
He has said
that he dislikes holidays.
The holidays are too long for him.
He wants to get back
to work as soon as possible.
It's unthinkable for normal people.
Is it good?
Is it too firm?
Overall, It's a little tough.
Is it?
Probably because it is young.
But the toughness isn't that bad.
If it doesn't taste good
you can't serve it.
It has to be better than last time.
That's why I always taste the food
before serving it.
NAKAZAWA, SENIOR APPRENTICE
It hasn't marinated enough.
