This documentary fucking sucked

I felt bad for his sons. Its been awhile since I've seen it but i think its pretty clear that at least one of them didnt seem to be so into it

what a fucking snooze fest and bad business practices if their sushi is so good why aren't they franchising huh?

I want to choke you til you stop moving

What's funny is that Japan has plenty of great food, but sushi is by far the worst shit they produce.

Yakisoba, Okonomiyaki, and Takoyaki are all food kino. Slapping a bit of raw fish on some white rice with a lick of wasabi is just trash food for dumb weebs.

>>83136036
Just more "Weird Japan" mystique confusing them with artists instead of an ordinary fish slinger. This fish slinger just happened to get more popular than others. Just because a thing is popular doesn't mean it's good. Just look at fidgit spinners.

I watched it because totalbiscuit said its a good doc.
It was really interesting all the way trough.

is there food more pretentious than sushi? i think not

Film sure made his food look tasty but i don't think i'd enjoy eating there.
The whole "get your 20 pieces of fish and fuck off before i stare you to death" vibe.

>>83136722
There are plenty of people dedicate who dedicate themselves to their craft. But the hack director who just filmed 'muh mystic sushi sensei' doesn't.

>>83136861
What's pretentious about it?

And to answer I'd have to say omelette

>>83136861
So why are those gifrecipes popular on reddit?
Is someone actually using them to make food?
Why not just watch a youtube video?

>>83136904
There's nothing "mystic" about him, he's an old asian man whose been putting sushi ahead of his own family like many workaholics do. You've been watching to many animes.

>>83136904
He didn't make him out to be that at all. He gave a pretty fair look at how he was a shitty dad, husband and boss.

the fact that its just a piece of raw fish slapped on top of clumped up rice and sometimes and sometimes not wrapped in fucking seaweed yet people act like they're taking part in some sort of a ritual when they stuff their faces with this shit using retarded caveman utensils and treat the people who slap the said fish on said clumped up rice as skillful maestros. compare that to the craftmanship involved in baking an impressive cake or making a perfect beef wellington with pink inside. an omelette is the exact opposite of sushi, a simple, rustic, deeply satisfying dish made of basic ingredients and doesnt take a pompous fart to put together

always the pastry chefs filled with utter resentment

anything can be made trivial if you pedantically break it down to its reductive constituent parts

life is eating, shitting, sleeping, fucking, dying but that doesn't mean a more nuanced, examined look into life wouldn't reveal something meaningful in between all that

making sushi is an art
only certain who are very gifted can create the perfect sushi
also its not just rice and fish... maybe other combinations with other ingredients, size etc...

But it literally is not anything more than its parts. The way to make an ebi negiri, in much the same way as you make most other forms of sushi, is you boil up a shrimp, slice it almost in two and then press it onto a cake of sushi rice. There are no sauces involved, there are no exotic cooking techniques, there are no subtle combinations of flavours. It's a prawn on some rice, that's all there is to it. I haven't reduced it to absurdity, I've stated what it is, I don't know how you could possibly describe it in a more involved fashion.

The second son had his own restaurant in the Roppongi Hills (which is the luxurious part of Tokyo with expensive-as-fuck apartments and houses) and probably making a ton of money each month.

But yeah his first son was pretty JUSTed, still working for his dad at age 52 just waiting for him to finally die so that he may take over the business.

>>83137924
The standard way to make pasta sauce is putting raw minced meat into tomato sauce and boil to cook it.

i love these threads, all the sushi chef school dropouts and foodie bloggers pop up to try and convince us cutting up fish and putting it on rice will take you 50 years to master

>>83137758

I did it once as a kid
Didnt do it again

I seriously dont know what I was supposed to get out of this documentary.
The decline of workmanship?
The consequences of family peer pressure and traditions?
The hyperbolic nature of revered resturants and the resulting disapointing experience when it doesnt live up to expectations? (like this documentary)
Life regrets?

This would have been interesting as a 20-30 minute doc, as a 1 1/2 hour movie, the subject, people and filmmaking isnt interesting enough to carry it for so long.

You get more flavor from meat when you sear it, it's called the maillard reaction. It's a big part of what makes meat taste good.

>>83137889
No, I mean the quality of the food has more to do with the preparation involved and the quality of the ingredients you brainlet

>I seriously dont know what I was supposed to get out of this documentary.
maybe nothing? why does everything has to have a deeper meaning? it's just about what's considered to be the best sushi chef in the world, that's it.
why are you guys are so fucking triggered by a documentary about a old man coocking raw fish? it was quite honest about him being a cunt of a father and a nightmare to work with.
besides, I think it was beautifully shot.

>>83137655
maybe because it can't hide behind sauces and cooking techniques, it's all the more important that the ingredients are the highest quality and the preparation is perfect

Oh god do you actually do this? That's absolutely not how you do it. You brown the mince with onions before adding any liquid at all. Im willing to bet your pasta sauce tastes fucking terrile

I didn't like the sequel, "Jiro Nightmares of Ass Rape"

So let me get this straight, guys, you mix the soy sauce and wasabi before dipping in the sushi, right? Thanks.

How do you make raw fish anyways? Isn't it just a dead fish on a plate? Wow, such skill.

The most delusional man in this documentary was the food critic that couldn't stop sucking Jiro's cock to breathe some fresh air.
