Because goddamn my fine young dude, get out of the house if this is true. Like not even trying to be a jerk, find a reputable sushi place that's 50 dollars or more for the meal. Then go back and eat an 8 dollar sushi meal.

No joke it will blow your mind how many subtleties are present in quality sushi

You get to a point of diminishing returns with food.
I've never had food at a Michelin 3 star restaurant, but I've eaten at a few 2 and 1 star places. It's all good. The difference in rating seems to be percieved value, 'local sourcing', excellent service, and a bunch of other shit not directly related to how the food tastes.

And no matter how the son tries, no matter how long he works, no matter how many accolades he receives, he'll never be recognized as anything more than "Jiro's son."

What's the point of life then? I think his son should be free to pursue his own dreams, but there's nothing wrong with passion.

>>81944229
I forget who, but his sushi will have to be twice as good to be the same as Jiro's. I felt sad for his eldest son as he had different dreams, race car driver, not even slightly overlapping with sushi. His second son does seem to enjoy his career, perhaps because of the distance he is able to put between him and his overbearing father.

But even then, the restaurant is a clone of his fathers.

>>81944336
A passion is something you enjoy, that gives you life, energy, amusement, entertainment. Obsession is what you are forced to do, what you can not help but do, what you are unable to prevent from doing. The clue is in the name Jiro dreams of sushi, he derives no joy from the sushi, no great achievement or sense of worth it is simple mechanical obsession that drives him.

>>81940268
I mean his reason is sexist but he's not entirely wrong. Why are ALL the world's best chefs men instead of women?

>>81944584
They're too busy having babies and shit.

What makes HIS sushi better than any other person's?

Specifically, if I had his rice and bought the same fish from the same market that he does, how could anyone tell the difference?

It's not like I'm cooking the fish, or adding extra ingredients, or making fancy sauces or whatnot. It's raw fish.

Don't get me wrong, I love sushi, and I understand that there is huge variance in quality.

But if I just took his place in the restaurant, or opened my restaurant with equal quality fish, there would be no fucking difference because the meal is uncooked fish atop rice. There is nothing to fuck up or make your own.

>>81946829

Well I doubt you would be able to prepare the sushi the same way he does.

>>81946416
>cooking rice
>refining your craft
food preparation isn't art, sorry. turning food into these obscene displays in which you gaze at them for all of 2 seconds before mindlessly gulping whatever slop it is they put in front of your fat disgusting face and then immediately forgetting the experience as you drive home in your faggy electric car is not art. it's nothing more than a sign of western decadence and decay. you fat sacks of shit, you amoral human larvae have so much food that you thanklessly play with it until you create something "new" out of the carved up animal carcass that you, of course, had no part in raising and then slaughtering yourself and that will discard without a second thought if it doesn't meet your arbitrary standards. I fucking despise you people. I shit on the culinary world.

>>81946953

Food should never have to look exotic to taste good.
If you're buying food for anything other than how it tastes then you're wasting your money.

Artists
>work hundreds of hours to produce a single work
Chefs
>produce hundreds of works in an hour

Sorta different, I've never seen anyone claim they could paint the Mona Lisa.

>>81947129
Well most famous artworks could be painted by anyone.
Even some paintings are born to give the impression art is not as hard as jews want you to think.
Most modern art is not about the technique on the painting but it's first impression value. Picasso didn't have great technique but lived through turbulent times therefore his paintings are a reflexion of his reality.

My point it, don't take things for granted despite how embellished they are on your American documentaries. Making sushi, cooking, painting, producing music. Nothing takes years of training in *current year*.

>>81947129
But you can paint famous portraits.
People have recreated Mona Lisa in like 2 hours when it took Leonardo da Vinci fucking 4 years.
The only reason people give a shit about originals is because of who created it and what sort of history the piece may have.
No one gave a shit about Mona Lisa until someone stole it.
Things aren't so special when public education let's pretty much anyone be an artist of mediocre caliber.

This is even more prevalent in the digital era when you can artificially recreate anything with a printer to the point where art critics can't tell the difference.
Welcome to post modernism: everyone sucks and nothing is unique.

It's an ancient Japanese ghoul reiterating ancient Japanese pseudo-science concerning ancient Japanese recipe of rice folded over one thousand times over some fish (it's all bullshit and the documentary was no doubt funded and directed by feckless trust fund hipsters from California so they could glean some false sense of self-satisfaction from being all culturally in tune and well travelled or whatever)

>>81946416
building a car is a craft. Creating new ways to harness energy is a craft. Cooking rice and pairing it with different varieties and cuts of raw fish, no matter how well you do it over how many years, is not a craft. 99% of Japanese "culture" is pomp, circumstance, farce, and needless obsession - stop enabling their autism.

Of course its a craft. The very act of fine-tuning something is at its quintessential, "a craft".
Anyone can build a car, or defend someone in court, or make a table, or cook rice and chuck raw fish on it.

But being able to do those things *extremely fucking well* makes it a craft. Going the distance, and putting in the time and effort and dedication to something makes it "a craft".
Laughing in the face of odds and the law of diminishing returns while still producing efficiency and higher quality makes it "a craft".


Go into a dominos and ask any worker if they consider what they do truly "a craft".

Now go into an upscale italian restaurant with several stars in downtown New York and ask their pizza chef the same thing. Hell, ask him how long it took for him to reach this point of ability.


Whats wrong with your life man? I believe your aggression stems from not having achieved a level of proficiency yourself with anything the world considers a craft, so instead you put other people down to your level in the hopes of making yourself feel better about yourself.

Disgusting. Your inability to make legitimate distinctions - to call a spade a spade - for fear of offending someone or facing criticism yourself is epidemic and destructive. This man's "art" is on the same level, and of the same kind, as an interior decorator or one of those Stepford types who arranges potpourri. Obviously, the preparation takes some degree of skill to look presentable, but is ultimately remedial in nature and doesn't deserve to be put on the same level as a learned advocate or a brain surgeon or anyone else whose work might more accurately be described as a craft. By all means continue to fellate yourself over beautifully arranged fish and rice, but drop the pretense.
