i'm glad jiro became a sushi chef because he'd be a terrifying man if he got obsessed with something else.

he just gets the best fish from the yakuza

Japs like to hype themselves up a lot, only weebs believe their bullshit posturing.

Which isn't to say sushi isn't good, but it is pretty overrated.

This is why you're worthless.

>>78983102
Yeah but so does every other country. Japan is a nice place in its own right, but some weeb dumbasses who think it's perfect need to try dealing with its legal system or work hours for a few weeks.

>>78983102
Yes it's those silly internet anime weeaboos who gave his restaurant three Michelin stars which literally means that it's worth making a trip to Japan just to eat there. What do you think is their favorite hentai?

>>78983242
Anyone browsing this board who doesn't literally live for hentai needs to leave and re-evaluate their life. Disgusting.

>>78983281

With the exception of perhaps 1 or 2 shows a year everything is just badly animated looping shite.

>>78983199
It's one of the two sushi restaurants in Japan with 3 Michelin stars so I'd doubt that's true.

>>78983235

>t.

And I'm not listening to anything you say for using this stupid facebook-meme-level faggotry.

>>78983102
It's a combo of Japan's fixation on specialized skills and self marketing.

One instance of straight lying (generally) is meats. They'll talk about their ancient beef or chicken techniques despite the nation being vegetarian until relatively recently.

Literally indistinguishable from conveyor belt sushi in LA.

You're paying for a brand and an experience, not the food.

>>78982984
tfw this is one of my favorite documentaries. Up there with Senna.

>>78982984
It's about work ethic you autist. The documentary highlights his pride in his work, his perfectionism, and his unyielding devotion to his craft. It's essential mancore. I imagine leftists hate it though.

i can cut up fish with a knife, you don't need "samurai training" for that lol, just a good sharp knife

>>78982984
Japanese work ethic is 1 part working hard and 99 parts looking like you're working hard

>>78983549
Pretty much. Millenial leftists have no idea about hard work.

>>78982984
Jiro took Adam Smith's notion of becoming an expert in widgets to the nth degree

The free market has found a valuable ally in Jiro

jiro is just another racist chink. fuck him and his bullshit

>>78983549
>highlights his pride in his work, his perfectionism, and his unyielding devotion to his craft
Well if you ignore the part that while he was jerking off to his own glory it was his son who was actually making the sushi and choosing the fish and shit, as in doing the actual work. The son who was forced into making sushi for his posturing faggot of a father.

>>78982984
>Jiro dreams of ass rape

>>78982984
Like any intelligent, forward thinking citizens of the 21st century, my wife and I are feminists. And like any feminists we were shocked and disgusted by this movie.

Both the main character (Jiro) AND the narrator are male! If alarms aren't going off in your head so far you're probably a bigot. Things became more and more repulsive as the movie played on. All of the supporting characters are male! And even worse, almost every single character in the movie is male!

I don't care if this is a documentary. My wife left the room in tears at the end of the first hour during a particularly sickening scene where Jiro serves a room full of customers. He says (not an exact quote) "I made the meals smaller for the women and larger for the men so that everyone would finish at the same time." Things like this would be expected in a film about Adolf Hitler or Winston Churchill (both disgusting sexist pigs)but in a movie about food it was just chilling. And that wasn't even the worst part! The women in the room appeared (probably special effects or movie magic of some type) TO APPROVE OF THIS. Can you believe that?

My wife won't talk about it and I'm not sure I could if I wanted to. I finished the movie with tears in my bloodshot eyes. I can't believe we've advanced so far as a society and women are still seen as being gutter scum.

Anyone forward thinking enough to simply be on the internet, to find this movie, to read this review, will be disgusted by the brutally sexist assault on your senses and common decency this movie has gotten away with.

>>78982984
There are lots of master sushi chefs who are young guys. The point of the decades of practice isn't that it made Jiro the best, or even that it made him good (though it obviously did). The point is that calm and careful dedication to a craft is a path to peace. It's an odd little anachronism that kinda takes you out of your own life and grants a bit of perspective.

would he be mad if you said squid is gross and refused to eat it

They don't even let you in if you're dressed too casually. Pretty sure you'd be kicked out if brought shame to his famiry by insulting their food.

He doesn't like white either. My friend went to Japan and when he wanted to make a reservation, they basically told him to fuck off once they realized he was American.

>>78983242
You do realize Michelin Japan isn't the same as the actual Michelin, right? There's a reason Japan has the most Michelin rated restaurants in the world. They blow smoke up their own ass.

>>78983636
you do realize that is the case for 99% of professions right? once you become a master you don't do the bitch work, because you already proved yourself. generals don't do infantry firefights, directors don't rig lighting, most mangaka don't color their own shit in (some do, this is contentious among some artists). when you get on the top level, you have earned the right to be an ideas guy and tell other people what to do. you bring out the best of several people in an organization instead of just one guy (yourself) IF your ideas are truly great. I think you have a problem with this because some people just rest on their laurels and their end product ends up shit.

>>78983050
>for me to poop on

I was hyped for it, but it was literally the worse episode of that show.

>>78984478
There's a distinct difference between doing necessary busy work and actually doing the fucking job. I wouldn't blame Jiro if he didn't catch his own fish or make his own rice, but if he's famous for being a sushi chef then yes, he should make sushi. Similarly, I don't expect a director to rig lighting but he should be actually directing instead of forcing someone else to do it and taking all the glory.

>>78984478

but jiro is just an old dumbass whose bold "profession" is being phase out by robots

>>78982984
Everything in Japan is pretentious like that, it's their culture and its not a bad thing. It gives a sense of importance to the working man.

>>78984527
All "professions" are being phased out by robots

>>78984564
Shitposting can never be done by robots. They lack the heart.

>>78984518
I haven't watched this documentary but I would imagine that there is some work going on behind the scenes among sushi chefs, it's not like he does nothing. he checks on their stuff, tells them what to do, explains how to fix problems, etc. how is he going to do all that *and* do the grunt work himself? if he did, it would just be a small operation by himself, not a several man outfit of people learning to git gud.

>>78983409
t. Facebook meme level faggot

I mean, I get why they'd trick a nigga into just cooking rice for years before he gets to move up — like from a business owner's perspective it makes sense, but why don't western chefs that went through all that (ones with no ties to nippon tradition) just cut out the bullshit and teach their students all they need to know about rice, cuts, rolling, fish etc. in like 6 months?

You have to be able to learn all of that shit in less than a half decade. The dues the apprentices have to pay seem petty af, and they don't consider sushi outside of Japan competition anyway so why not teach the enthused foreigners more streamlined.

I'm not sure the guy you responded to even watched it because he does all this and still makes sushi, because he has devoted his entire life to it

it aint that easy my man, there are various ways to fuck up sushi. just check any online community dedicated to cooking this shit, there are problems everywhere. I have been making sushi for a few years and it definitely takes some skill, although I do think japs hype it too much. on top of that, a lot of these sushi pros make all kinds of absurd arrangements with crazy cuts and shapes and differing temperatures that adds another layer of difficulty beyond just making a maki roll or some shit.

Use a glass casserole and microwave it for twenty minutes (ten, instant), let stand for five.
