Happy Labor Day. Jiro Ono is a national treasure in Japan. He is 85 and the world’s greatest sushi chef. His eldest son is still his apprentice. His youngest is a chef but no one matches his artistry and his creativity. He dreams of sushi. I dream about teaching history but I’m not a national treasure. There is no justice here. He buys only from the greatest fish and rice merchants. His apprentices spend years to learn to do one thing perfectly (eg, egg sushi). Very interesting. I found the Philip Glass music in the sound track put me to sleep. I don’t quite get the charm of that composer in slow moving cinema. Anyway, this is a very interesting film that actually does acknowledge our denuding the ocean of various species in order that we might enjoy raw fish.
