giofranchi Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 A friend of mine sent me the link to this wonderful video. If you haven’t already done so, watch it! You won’t regret it. It is time very well invested! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExGsvl7k55Y&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DExGsvl7k55Y&nomobile=1 giofranchi PS Of course, you need to turn English subtitles on!
Liberty Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I saw that documentary a few weeks ago. Enjoyed it. Total dedication to a craft.
alwaysinvert Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I'm not usually into "food porn" but this film is beautifully shot and just like Liberty said about a true craftsman. Very inspiring. Felt a bit sorry for his eldest son, though :)
racemize Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I also thought it was great. I've shown it to a couple of my friends as well.
ASTA Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Always strive to improve your craft. Thanks for a great link of a show tonight giofranchi
texual Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Seen this movie well over 10 times. Often just watch the intro speech by Jiro where he talks about being the greatest by just being unquestionably dedicated to the craft and never looking back. I apply this to my work every day and whenever I am down, I just watch that speech and get back to it.
VersaillesinNY Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Obama begins Asia trip with 'the best sushi I've ever had' (CNN) -- Anyone who imagines U.S. President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe discussed territorial disputes with China or the U.S.'s "pivot to Asia" foreign policy during their private dinner in Tokyo on Wednesday likely isn't familiar with the restaurant where the two leaders dined. Ahead of a protocol-bound formal state visit that officially begins on Thursday, Abe took Obama to Sukibayashi Jiro, the fabled restaurant in Tokyo's fashionable Ginza district widely regarded as the best sushi restaurant in the world. [...] http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/23/travel/obama-tokyo-sushi-restaurant/ Once you decide on your occupation... you must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That's the secret of success... and is the key to being regarded honorably. Jiro Ono
ScottHall Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Our CEO enjoyed this film to the extent that he had the company take an afternoon off to watch it.

twacowfca Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 One of my all time favorite movies! Charlie Munger told me he does not watch movies etc. I anyway recommended he see this movie. No idea if he did! :-\ Mohnish Jiro Dreams of Sushi received one of the top awards presented at the Movieguide Gala in Hollywood this year that we attended. It's awesome, definitely a movie to be watched over and over again. :)
Morgan Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Wow! What a surprise to see this on here! It's really, a great movie. Such an awesome amount of dedication to his craft. Someday soon I hope to eat there.

eclecticvalue Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Wow! What a surprise to see this on here! It's really, a great movie. Such an awesome amount of dedication to his craft. Someday soon I hope to eat there. You can eat at Sushi Nakazawa instead! http://www.sushinakazawa.com/ He is a disciple of Jiro. And from what I hear Nakazawa is way more livelier. Also it is cheaper. ;D

saltybit Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 There is also Jiro's son's place, but it seems it is just as pricey http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1066451-d1177368-Reviews-Sukiyabashi_Jiro-Minato_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html
Otsog Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Thanks for the recommendation, that was a great movie. I love seeing that level of dedication in action.
