Jiro Dreams Of Sushi (2011)

A documentary about an old Japanese guy who’s been making sushi for decades in his little restaurant in the Ginza train station. It’s received 3 Michelin stars and he’s renowned as one of the best sushi chefs in the world. His life revolves around it, to the point where he was nearly a stranger to his kids when he was younger.

The film also says a lot about the Japanese philosophy about work culture. It’s night and day different from what we are accustomed to in the US. An interesting doc that will leaving you hankering for sushi.
