Jiro Dreams of Sushi Page #2
I've worked hard, so I have no regrets.
Seriously.
If Jiro has any regrets,
then he's crazy!
I feel sorry for his older son.
He should let Yoshikazu take over.
Don't you think?
Yoshikazu is already fifty.
Yes, he's only twelve years younger
than I am.
Yoshikazu, you probably didn't think
you'd be working
with your father so long.
I thought he was going
to retire long ago.
Everyone thought Jiro might
retire ten years ago.
He was hospitalized once
when he was seventy.
Then, the Roppongi Hills branch
was opened.
Those were the two times
that he might have retired.
After he was hospitalized, we weren't
sure he could continue working.
How old were you
when you started training?
I started when I was nineteen.
You didn't like it at first?
I hated it at first.
For the first two years
I wanted to run away.
We can have them sit here and here.
But that way, Mr. Taniguchi
would have to sit at seat nine.
Have these guests on seats one,
two, and three.
No, that won't work.
It wouldn't be fair to the people
who reserved last year.
Have them sit close together
to fit the other party.
It's essential to check every detail.
What the staff might not notice...
I notice because
I have been doing it for so long.
I give them detailed instructions
on what to do.
Working there wasn't easy.
I worked for him until he was sixty.
I wouldn't say he is eccentric.
He just works relentlessly every day.
That's how shokunin are.
The way of the shokunin is
to repeat the same thing every day.
They just want to work.
They aren't trying to be special.
when he was in a good or bad mood.
And when it's best not to bother him.
Once your boss, always your boss.
Let's just say I don't sleep
with my feet in his direction.
Remove the part with tough meat.
We'll age a small tuna
We'll age a larger tuna
for up to ten days.
When you compare
fatty tuna and lean tuna...
these days, most people
prefer the taste of fat.
O-TORO
Before World War ll,
they used to cook o-toro.
is simple and predictable.
But the flavors of leaner cuts
are subtle and sophisticated.
CHU-TORO
MEDIUM TUNA:
Each tuna has its own unique taste.
But it is the leaner meat
that carries the essence of the flavor.
LEAN TUNA:
We can't just buy any tuna.
TSUKIJI FISH MARKE
The tuna vendor works
exclusively with tuna.
Our shrimp vendor only sells shrimp.
Each of the vendors are specialists
in their fields.
We are experts in sushi but...
in each of their specialties
the vendors are more knowledgeable.
We've built up a relationship
of trust with them.
Sushi originally was sold
from street stands.
