I've learned so much about sushi from Imgur.

So, 'uni' is the single most grossest thing I've ever put in my mouth. And I've put a few nasty things in there in my lifetime./
SushiFarts
it'll give you serious gas however
HamGrenade
The Japanese don't do anything half-assed. Weather its sushi, or cleaning the bathroom, everything is done at 400% perfection with pride.
WhiteGuyNamedJaCrispy
But what does Gordon Ramsay think?
wintermute93
Or -- and bear with me here -- you could just order a large pizza and eat the entire thing.
SkippyTheSpaceDogYESTHISISSPACEDOG
I love you. I love you so much. I was scrolling down looking for the "or just eat a large serving of food" comment. You're great.
Creatinemachine
I am allergic to sushi, every time I eat more than 80 pieces I throw up.
dongenepark
I just re watched this episode. +1
hardwarez
The struggle is real.

I wish my sushi loving friends would watch this and see how many California rolls he doesn't make.
Glumerlink
This movie made me fall in love with Sushi. I never knew how amazing it could be
SuperDork42
I was already in love but it brought me to a whole different level. Seriously one of the best documentaries ever.
Glumerlink
I always heard those pretentious douchebags talking about how sushi was art, and after seeing this guy i actually agree now
SuperDork42
I know right? And I've had some delicious sushi but dang, I WANT TO GO TO THERE!
MeSoMerry
I'll have a California roll and a side of pork fried frice
YancyFryJr
You disgust me.
twocatsgluedbacktobacktodefyphysics
So american food?

tbh California rolls are dericious

I love this movie!
perochialjoe
I love sushi and eat it frequently but I have never even had half of the rolls mentioned here. America uses mostly tuna (not complaining)
beez1748
I am WAY too uncultured to look at this.
TasslehoffBurrfoot
If we ate it in the wrong order, I wonder if they'd try and knife us...
AtalanBeardy
You can't. It's served to you in that order.
Flucksy
That's a lot of work for food
riften
It is more an art form than a meal.
IsItaBird
Such a wonderful documentary
derpmermaid
The first part reminds me of Breath of Fire III.
Nykidemus
And being forever unable to find the right goddamn fish to finish the quest.
derpmermaid
Fucking mackerel.
ninjadanny
This is a great movie!! Jiro Dreams of Sushi
LarryDNJR
I enjoyed watching this on Netflix.
Escolerro
Can't wait to check it out
DeadlyGrim
Sushi was the equivalent of fast food. Just imagine all these people saying the same thing about McDonalds in like two hundred years.
tallroses
No it's not. In Japan sushi is the equivalent of prime rib and caviar. Ramen is the equivalent of fast food.
DeadlyGrim
Keyword: "was". The way we treat food changes. Lobster used to be considered crap unfit to be fed to prisoners, for instance.
dongenepark
Very true. Sushi vendors used to be the equivalent of a hot dog stand you'd find in New York.
GandalfUnicorn
Here's the thing, there's high-end sushi. And then there's the buffet type sushi. It can really go either way. It's fun like that.
TickleTio
Its just frigging seafood on rice. If I did this people would think I was nuts.
aquatanica
Mmmmm takos...
abygoneguy
I've never had good sushi. I wonder if I even like it.
flapperfemmefatale
i probably wouldn't. i hate seaweed and usually get rolls with soy paper.
FrozenCorgi
"Good sushi" is indeed the keyword here. Bad Sushi can be REALLY bad, but find a good sushi-place, and that shit is divine yo.
HiImNate
I remember the first time I had truly good sushi. The real deal, not deep fried bs. Is amazing how good something so simple can be.

You do

If it's anything like the sushi I get at Publix then you'll love it, that stuff is fantastic.
Jokeymcgoiter
It's weird for me to really really really want to eat sushi, but can't. I have tried 8 times now, but can't get myself to enjoy any of it.
gregur
Who the hell is downvoting this? Have my +1. Haters gonna hate.
Jokeymcgoiter
I made it to the front page with a sarcastic "Look, someone down voted all my stuff i ever posted" and now people are doing it just because.
Jokeymcgoiter
It happens to all of my comments ha ha. It's actually kind of funny, really drives the joke home XD.
VagisilToothpaste
This looks amazing...but I bet those like 10 TINY pieces of sushi that they got likely cost them $1000 total for this "gathering"...
Iamyu2
It is about 300 dollar for the whole set but they dont take foreigners.
mitotinytims
Seriously? That seems a bit mean.
Iamyu2
because Shiro doesnt speak any English and his place is very traditional.
tikimiki
true, but being world famous, maybe they don't want to just be a tourist stop and want to allow japanese ppl to embrace their culture
mitotinytims
I guess...but with a price tag of 300 and a month long reservation wait, I feel they are weeding out tourists as ti is
Goodwolf
I't's been a while, but I think I remember the price as 30,000 yen. That's about 300 bucks or a little over if I'm remembering correctly.
micropig
And aren't they booked for months and months too?
VagisilToothpaste
Still way too much damn money for tiny food. I don't agree with crap like that. Delish as it may be...
Magpiebones
You eat lots and lots of small servings.
Metacomet
then you don't get the point.as in many disciplines, there is always one/few person(s) that take it so seriously they are unparalleled.
TransverseHomoclinicPoint
That's actually quite reasonable for a one time deal.

Awesome

A great little documentary, one man's lifelong obsession to make the perfect sushi.

ihaveoneofthemostmehlives
thanks
baiin
Its all very tasty I'm sure. And for the low price of $200 per seat not really a bargain. :(
karon
$200 is cheap for a chef tasting menu in a restaurant like that. French Laundry and Per Se are $300. Inn at Little Washington even more.
baiin
I'd love to make the money you make.
tikimiki
he's just stating the facts. it's relatively cheap/average for a high class restaurant.
wallabyMOB
Very tatsy is probably a vast understatement. $200 isnt bad for a once in a lifetime experience. I thought it would be more than that.
baiin
Well the next time you see a homeless person on the street, treat them to that once in a lifetime event then? It isn't that badly priced.
wallabyMOB
Let me hop in my flyin machine and head to Japan. I can probably find a homeless person along the way.
tikimiki
true, but it's considered as the #1 sushi place and very famous. $200 isn't that surprising considering the quality+fame. also 1/2
tikimiki
4/? at a time for a hour+they're opened for like 6 hours, so that's only like 60 customers a day?
tikimiki
2/? considering the preparation, precision, and low seat count. i think it takes 10 years to become a sushi chef. they may spend 1+ years
tikimiki
3/? just perfecting making the rice. have to go to the market everyday to get fresh fish. plus it's a very intimate setting, w/ only 10 ppl
imgursample
You can pick up a Sushi/Sushimi sampler at Publix for like $20. I tell myself it's just as good because I'll never actually know.
KateUptonsNipples
This is a great movie but holy fuck you just screenshotted the whole thing.
edgelineservices
Damn I miss living where good sushi was right around the corner...dafuq am I doing in small town OH?
Dooood
Languishing.
Alah2
This place has the best sushi in the world, it currently holds 3 michelin stars.
CapnJackHarkness
What part of Ohio? I may know a place within driving distance. May be a bit of a drive, but still.

Living affordably.

I'm from a small town in Ohio. And now I live in Japan. Your sushi dreams can come true!!

Giving up on your hopes and dreams

I went from dc (ok sushi) to Cleveland and have no idea where to get sushi :(
mediaman73
I think you may have to drive to San Francisco.
marymorstan
As a fellow Clevelander, check out Shuhei (it's on Chagrin off of 271)
currentlyincleveland
im going to have to check it out. is it better than pacific east? because im kind of in love with that place right now
marymorstan
I also love Pacific East! Shuhei is more authentic Japanese I think, it's is also classier. Tree Country Bistro (on Coventry) is also great
Thewonderlux
Jiro dreams of sushi, a must watch!
ConcordVanhallin
Agreed! I love the way they focus on Jiro and his work. Its like his sushi pure and harmoniousness.
TheDigitalRob
It seriously is, and watched it because I was bored and by the end I was glad I had clicked on it.
Lorithias
Yep it worth it !
Ivaer
Fantastic movie, and it made me seriously consider spending the $1,600-ish for a plane ticket and reservation to his place.
MrPuntasticSayMeFuntastic
I cannot stand sushi, but the man's dedication to perfecting his craft is inspiring for all.
5alive
Warnin: Do not watch if you don't have money for sushi. This will only lead to sadness.
DevilsHalo
*good sushi
MABTWwithnoevidencetothecontrary
I fucking LOVED that documentary. -- Also, Anthony Bourdain said if he were to die he'd want Jiro's to be his last meal, which is cool.
bart2pl
you know what is really the secret of perfect sushi ? good quality ingredients
smcelhinney
If you werent a sushi lover before you watched it, you will be after.
NoStringsAttached
I watched that at 12am and ordered delivery sushi. It pays to live in Los Angeles, minus the traffic.
tqmidget2k
Wonderful documentary.
krissychole
I watched it once and watch it a second time with my husband. Truly magnificent.
nyudo
Haha. I watched it once and a second time with my wife. We're like opposite twins.
jawsnnn
Someone is downvoting all the comments. Probably the person with the top comment. I will be your savior.
impostersquall
it makes you hungry if you watch it...watch out :[
lovewaffles
I'm a vegetarian who doesn't eat fish and I loved the film
AxelYamanaka
That's because it's not about eating fish, it's not even about sushi. It's about a man who mastered doing what he loves.

watched it, not sure how i felt about it
ronswansonisthereasonihaveadadfetish
Waiting list for his place is close to a year I hear. Still want to go.
riseofspartan
I made the mistake of watching it while eating my favorite sub, 5 minutes into the documentary I wanted to throw my food away.
grimmjohn
The movie is also about his sons, I felt so sad for them. I would not want Jiro as a father. Loves his craft so much..none left for his sons
ExitVanLeft
So good!
M1NISH
See at tags, food porn XD
AbeFromanSausageKingOfChicago
Dying to go there now. A colleague of mine went and said its every bit as amazing as its hyped up to be.
Shroomslapz
isn't it like retarded expensive though?
raifsevrence
yes.
AbeFromanSausageKingOfChicago
VERY expensive and he had to reserve months in advance.
HeadlessNorseman
One of my favorite Docs!
rinrollz
I've watched it a million times and I never get tired of it.
imsolost7
For those that dont understand, this mans restaurant is worth taking the trip to the very county JUST to eat there. Its pricey but worth it.
makymak
I'd be scared to go in case it ruined food for me forever.
onememeadayfromfacebookuntilfrontpageandthenilljustdie
Same thing happened to me with steak after having a $100 one. Can't go to a chain resturant for a $16 one ever again.
goodguyC
Pricey but worth it? You know I've always heard there are two things that money can't buy, and that's true love and home-grown tomatoes!
goodguyC
And I have an entire garden of beautiful, juicy, home-grown tomatoes! I'll take that over all the sushi in Japan!
goodguyC

not just the money, but also remember to reserve a spot months in advance
Sodaqueen
And in a subway
literallymike
That's my favorite part.
imsolost7
its your choice to go to buy cheap sushi, for those that have a pallet (i sure as hell dont) they will enjoy it.
omgitsjosie
Visited Jiro 3 years ago. Food is amazing but way overpriced.
omgitsjosie
There are tons are amazing sushi-yas in TKY that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for. Tsukiji Market is full of them.
curseyoursudenbutinevitablebetrayal
Taking a trip there in the future, so I'm commenting for later reference. :-)
damadamagoyolur
If you can still get reservations as a "foreigner" book 6 months+ in advance, FYI. Only 10 seats and they book that far out.
kulahan
A big part of it is being with the legendary man. He's very well respected, and it's apparent in the atmosphere. It's about the experience.
confanity
Or you could go to a 100-yen conveyor-belt-sushi restaurant, have a lot of fun, and fill yourself up with merely tasty sushi for like $10.
slicknick01
Not really. It's like a 15 minute meal for $300. I adore sushi, but you can get marginally worse stuff in Japan for a third of the price.
URfavHO
just don't show up late to your reservation, ask for cooked sushi, and then ask for it in a to go box.

Que?
MrSomeguy
A group of Chinese girls did exactly that and made a scene when their demands weren't met, then were expelled from the restaurant.
Tiiimmmaayy
I would like a Californian roll and some tempura shrimp covered in spicy mayo, please. To go.
tikimiki
plus some soy sauce packets if you don't mind.
EmuMoogle
Get out
kulahan
His son has an equally tasty/much cheaper sushi shop as well. Jiro's more expensive because of his legendary presence.
TacoWayno
His other son. Still, the restaurant is a complete mirror to Jiro's place. Only because he is right handed and Jiro is left handed.
presce
I think as of recent Jiro has stopped serving "foreigners" and his son does.

That's right $375 in 2012

The documentary says that the price to eat there is 30,000 yen (around 300 American dollars).
