Jiro Ono has turned 100.

>In Japan, sushi legend Jiro Ono turned 100 on October 27, 2025, yet shows no signs of full retirement, declaring, "I plan to keep going for about five more years." The founder of Sukiyabashi Jiro—a 10-seat Ginza basement gem that held three Michelin stars from 2007 to 2019—earned Guinness recognition as the oldest three-star head chef at 93. Featured in the 2012 documentary *Jiro Dreams of Sushi*, he served dignitaries like Barack Obama, once shifting their 2014 reservation to prioritize regulars.

>Born in 1925 in Hamamatsu, Ono apprenticed at 7, moved to Tokyo at 25, and opened his restaurant in 1965, pursuing perfection: "I haven't reached the top yet." Now among Japan's 100,000 centenarians, he credits work as "the best medicine," visiting when possible despite hand issues, serving only special guests. His son Yoshikazu, head chef, notes Ono's humor and kindness—once worrying director David Gelb was bored filming octopus massage.

>Aiming for 114 after hearing of Japan's oldest man dying at 113, Ono walks, eats well (no alcohol), and favors maguro, kohada, and anago. Gelb calls his enduring tradition "an inspiration." Under autumn skies, Ono embodies lifelong dedication.

Trying to perfect sushi has to be the most asinine endeavor ever. Might as well dedicate your life to perfecting fairy bread.

Is he related to Yoko Ono?

>>21685327 (OP)
He sure looks it, if I reach 100 I'm giving my family full permission to throw me off a cliffedge.

It took him 20 years just to wash the rice right. He definitely isn't close to mastering sushi yet, not even close.

>>21685327 (OP)
how perfect can putting raw fish on rice really be
nigga should have become a tuna and rice farmer since that's what really matters
hell even making vinegar is more involved

>>21685327 (OP)
I was sure he died.

>>21685412
Pretending his job isn't something you could figure out in less than a month is the only way to keep his inflated prices.

>only way to get a reservation at his restaurant is to book a stay at an expensive hotel

Keep dreaming, Jiro.

It's a shame that the sequel to this documentary wasn't as critically acclaimed as the first. I think that "Jiro Nightmares of Ass Rape" was much better.

W-what happens if you do this?

He cannot retire because his body will give out without said purpose and he will be dead within a week

>work.is best medicine
barely works anymore

You'd be fucking creaming yourself to anon flipping burgers for 50 years if he was japanese and starred in a shitty documentary about it. "You just have no idea how dedicated he is to flipping the patty, how he makes sure the beef is brown enough before it gets flipped, how the bun gets lightly toasted on the grill, and how the lettuce compliments it."

>>21688359
It's conceited to think you know more about how people enjoy their sushi than they themselves do. The exact same trained-to-be-100%-repeatable piece of sushi is not going to be enjoyed equally by all people. The chef is in charge of making the food, but the customers themselves are in charge of eating it and they have eaten far more sushi than you have served to them specifically, even if you've made 100,000 rolls for the average person. It's one thing to expect people to not be loud or disturbing to other customers, or destructive to the property and dinnerware, but another thing entirely to extend demands of behavior to the point of demanding nitpicky shit.

People will bend over backwards for it though. If the chef demanded they not drink any water the entire meal, these cucks would gladly leave fucking parched to pay phony lip service, as is the japanese way.

>>21685445
Japan's restaurant industry is pretty frigid in general to tourists because you constantly have groups that will reserve tables and times at high end locations, and then not show up.

>>21688402
This is not true because the wait list on a high-end restaurant is months in advance and often requires just straight up luck to get. A tourist who is not committed to the occasion will be filtered out by this alone.

>>21685327 (OP)
Unless he has eaten every single piece of sushi he ever made, himself, how would he know one of them wasn't perfect.

Daily reminder asian culture of obsessing over small details is actually the correct way mastering things.

>It's conceited to think you know more about how people enjoy their sushi than they themselves do
It's not about thinking you know HOW they enjoy it, it's about giving them a fish with a combination you want them to enjoy. Chefs add the soy sauce, wasabi, whatever else, and then present this to give you a specific taste. If you dunk everything in hot mustard maybe you'd enjoy it more, but then why the fuck are you having your food prepared by a chef and not just hitting up the grocery store or revolving?

>>21690664
Michelin fears the samurai.

>>21692420
Let me make sure I understand you here. You're saying that if a person wants their sushi to have a bit more soy sauce than the chef thinks is proper, you're confused why those people choose to reach over 6 inches and dunk their fish in a bit of soy sauce, instead of
>sourcing a half-dozen different species of sushi-grade fish which must be purchased in quantities far greater than a single meal
>slicing it all themselves while having no training in prepping any of those varieties of fish
>cooking a batch of sushi-style rice that will only be used for one meal,
>assembling the pieces all themselves with no actual training to make it look or taste good
You're a fucking retard.

>>21692448
>You're saying that if a person wants their sushi to have a bit more soy sauce than the chef thinks is proper, you're confused why those people choose to reach over 6 inches and dunk their fish in a bit of soy sauce, instead of
Buying sushi at the store
Going to a revolving sushi
Going literally anywhere that doesn't take months to get a reservation and has a chef personally talking with you and creating your dishes right in front of you

>>21692461
You go to a sushi restaurant instead of a grocery store to have high-quality food served to you in a curated atmosphere for a pleasant and usually social mealtime. If you want that high-quality food to have 5% more soy sauce flavor then that's really not actually an issue like you pretend it is. If you really needed that explained to you then I see why the idea of having zero agency over your eating experience is appealing to you. Do you ask the chef when to drink water too? Or is that a decision you're comfortable with? Wouldn't want to fuck up the curated experience with too wet a palate.

>>21685327 (OP)
Dude still hasn't passed the "making rice" filter even at 100 years old
WEW

>>21692468
>Do you ask the chef when to drink water too?
This is why this argument is never about having "5%" more soy sauce, it's about taking what's given to you and dunking it or pulling it apart because "that's the way I like it".
In that sense, it's stupid to think that spending all that money for "high-quality" food is still going to taste high-quality after being completely covered up by what you think tastes good on low-quality food.

>>21685740
the sushi chef unsheaths the katana he has hidden under the table and slices you into a million pieces in the blink of an eye

>>21692487
>It's never about 5%
You would see anything as an affront, 5% soy sauce added to you would make you shit yourself so I don't know why you're making the distinction.
But no I was actually asking you. If the honorable sushi chef demanded you not drink water when you're thirsty, would you abstain for the meal?

>>21692526
>But no I'm actually asking you would you do a handstand and recite lorem ipsum and
Just put 5% more soy sauce on your mid-tier sushi and literally have a better experience rather than get mad at a curated meal

>>21692544
>rather than get mad
You're the one getting mad at people enjoying their meals, anon. But you'd happily eat the chef's pubes if he said it was part of his "experience" and thank your lucky stars you made the reservation. Pitiable.

ngl it pisses me off that japanese people live to 100 and still work jobs

even if you live to only 70 thats considered fair in the west, 79 for men 81 for women is the average, but the vast majority of people are basically geriatric at 70 and can't even walk

Nah, you're a faggot and he's based.

>>21694151
Screaming in a fine dining restaurant just to virtue signal to a chef who thinks you are lower than dog shit based on your race is niggerfaggotry in its own right. Making a loud scene and ruining the experience for everyone in the restaurant because someone dipped a piece of fish in some soy sauce is peak nig but you'll cope and pretend otherwise. It is one thing to look down upon a person because of low taste, and another to scream and be a disruptive minority about it to everyone else in the restaurant.
Smokers are deserving of stoning partly because they make their habit and their preferences into a nuisance to others, which is exactly what having a screaming fit about sushi eating is doing.

People have posted that he served in the Japanese military in WW2, and there was a photo posted along with the claim. I don't know if it's true and I don't know if the photo really showed him in it since they all look alike to me.

People have also posted that he used to hate foreigners showing up at his restaurant until the documentary came out and he liked the fame. Again, I don't know how true that was.

I dunno what garbage grocery stores you frequent, but even the hoity-toitiest restaurants I've ever been to use ingredients that are the equivalent of the good stuff at the grocery store
the only food that's meaningfully different is the alcohol selection

that being said, imitation crab is garbage and crunchy bits are highly overrated on sushi

3.9 stars? Wtf

>>21695069
>someone dipped a piece of fish in some soy sauce
He was loudly talking on the phone and being a nuisance to everyone like a fucking nigger woman in a theater, or the screaming mexishit children in the chinese buffet. The fish is just what he brought up. He wouldn't have even noticed how he was eating his sushi if not for the disruptive noise he was making. If everyone already has to live with the noise, why not change it to noise that also inconveniences that little piece of shit?

He deserved to be brought down a peg regardless of the surface reasons for the altercation. You can say that it was excessive, but sometimes things have to get a little worse before they get better. The fag's constant disruption of everyone around him by talking on the phone was replaced with a minute of fuss and then the problem was solved. Not only that, but he might be disinclined to do it again in the future

He'll never learn his lesson if he never gets punished or even derided for it. Social cattle just want to give him a pass because he's rich, not ugly, and they're philistines who also wouldn't know how to eat sushi properly. They don't like the idea of respecting the culture of a foreign food the same way niggers don't understand anything that doesn't directly relate to themselves.

If he were improperly eating something else, like putting ketchup on a fucking steak (ultimately something he also has the right to do), or just eating like a slob, or if he were ugly and poor, suddenly all those uncultured subhumans would be more willing to side with the guy mocking him.
>euuugh, eating like that is ruining the appetites of people around him!
>wuhh... you can't eat the steak like that! My grandpappy said you've gotta eat it with steak rub!
They'd stick out their pinkies holding their fucking shitty canned beer and start waxing philosophical about store-bought steak seasonings.
I thought I had the webm and was going to post it, but I can't find it

It's the ginger you're not supposed to dip in the soy sauce, you fucking brown ESL.
Every single time the webm is talked about, there's always turd-worlder subhumans like you strawmanning that because you're too fucking stupid to understand the language. You side with him not because you're some rich white businessfag, but because you have the same habit of being a fucking nuisance in restaurants.

Restaurants should be segregated.
Browns and the pieces of shit who bring infants and small children to a restaurant (usually browns and their anchor babies) should be in their own section. Smokers should be taken out back and shot.

>>21697305
>nooo you can't enjoy tobaco with food
Now we know who should be taken out back.

>>21697404
You literally pay money to smell like shit and advertise your subhuman mental slavery to sucking on "fags" as the br*tish call them.
We humans can smell, hear, and spot you filth from a dozen feet away. That stale, cloying scent that lingers on your clothing and your putrid breath. Your twitching hands, constantly itching for their next fix. Your eyes, bloodshot from the smoke and the glassy, empty visage of a soulless subhuman enslaved by their addictions. Your wheezing breath, proof of all the poison you've consumed and attempted to spread to to others.

(((Society))) has taught the cattle to say nothing, but every non-smoker around you secretly wishes you dead the second their olfactory nerves become aware of your wretched presence. At least heroin junkies have the decency to just fucking OD and die quickly so humanity no longer has to deal with them. Instead, you puff and choke, choke and puff, and you do this for decades until you manage to earn your death warrant and then strain the medical infrastructure that should just put you down instead of trying to keep you alive as you cough up blood.
Every one of you should be rounded up and given exactly what you crave; a nice long hotbox of smoke—Zyklon flavor (except something actually effective instead of delouser) and the last you'll ever have.

So it's the fish that he was screaming about. And why the fuck would you scream and cause a scene in response to someone else also being rude, retard? Yes that's nigger behavior, plain and simple. A civilized person rises above such things. Reply to my post quietly apologizing to me.

>>21698017
>eugh, you're not civilized unless you're a little bitch that just tolerates niggerdry!!!
>t. spineless, nutless, spiritually brown cuckold
Limp-wristed faggots like you who avoid conflict at all costs are the exact reason so many subhuman animals go around making every public space worse.
You're the one that needs to apologize. Be a good little sissy bitch and apologize for the misfortune of your birth and daring to argue with someone instead of "rising above". Apologize for being a worthless coward too scared to speak out against the walking turds who go around making the world a worse place.

>>21698056
Who said anything about avoiding all conflict? Just don't be a screaming nigger about it who makes things even worse for everyone else involved. You talk like "oh yeah just raise your voice take them down a peg hahahahaha" but for rude fuckers like that, arguing and being rude is the water they swim in. They will just start screaming back and making things worse in cases like that and then everyone's experience is ruined. Then you both get thrown out, and such a result is nothing to them.
In a case like that you talk to the staff and tell them that these people are being disruptive. If the staff agrees then they get thrown out or made to settle down under such a threat if you are in a respectable establishment(which that setting clearly is). You suggest wrestling in the mud with pigs for whom being a rude bitch is an every day occurrence and not even anything they see as wrong.

I hope I taught you something about real world relations, shut-in.

>>21693840
Yeah but what's the alternative? Being fucking dead.

>>21698067
>You must rely on authority to resolve everything!
Except that the aforementioned rude fucks are the exact sort of hoity toity richfags that would get catered to. They act the way they do precisely because (((authority))) doesn't fucking touch them. The guy was absolutely 100% fucking right about them; they really do think their "expense accounts" justified their behavior. They acted the way they did because they're stuck-up pricks and that's also exactly why they suddenly backed down when they realized he was more of a big shot than them. Like some wanna-be tough guy that goes around picking fights then pusses out when someone bigger shows up.

If the circumstances had been different and he wasn't from so and so Capital, the best result would have been beating their fucking faces in after they got up to pick a fight with him because he hurt their little faggot egos after calling them out. But they had no fucking problem wanting to gang up on him when it was 2 on 1 and they didn't know who he was. They're fucking scumbags and siding with them is only what superficial retards do. The unjust deserve everything they get.

I can't say I do and I do not feel bad for them in this situation, but people like you who watch this shit and act like it's anything but masturbatory fiction make it painfully obvious that you have never dealt with such a situation before in your life. There are ways to deescalate that sort of situation talking directly to people like that and they don't involve simmering like a pussy faggot until you have a random uncontrolled spergout. I've dealt with all sorts of rude people in different situations in my line of work and I can tell you from experience that doing what he did does nothing but make things worse most of the time because you do not project confidence doing that, but emotional instability.
Maybe you identify with that person because you do that sort of thing in real life and fantasize about finally blowing up at people who you think are rude like it will do anything, and that is why you enjoy this scene so much.

pussy faggot

bitch ass nigga

>>21698135
>that's exactly what
He didn't. They fucking backed down because he was 100% right about them only having the balls to do what they did because they had money and thought that put them above other people.

>act like it's anything but masturbatory fiction
Except it's the fucking other way around. The entire thing is contrived, but you take a look at the video on YT and the comments are all composed of cattle mindlessly saying he's bad because they like the faggot's reddit zinger that >>21698106 quoted.

>doing what he did does nothing but make things worse most of the time
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. If someone had simply broken a few of Johnny Somali's bones (preferrably his vertebrae) the first time the nigger got uppity, then the world would have been a better place instead of waiting for (((authority))) to lock him up after being a notorious nuisance for years. It would also have prevented all the fucking copycats who even now go around shitting up the world because they saw how he got away with it for so long

Even in this case, I'd argue that things were made better. You talk about how shit escalated, but how long do you think that fucker would have spent on the phone shouting expletives in a fancy restaurant if Mr. Miyagi hadn't said anything? What would have been 5, 10, 15, or even 30 minutes of everyone having to listen to his stupid ass gossip about his coworkers like a fucking high school girl talking about her clique instead got resolved in a single minute.
I'm not arguing from a position of what may be personally beneficial to either party, but from what I consider to be Good and Just. You playing armchair psychologist does not change the fact that shaming and dealing with public nuisances, regardless of whether it's intentional or merely a lack of regard for others is a good thing.

>>21698164
>they backed down because he was right
Dumbass, rewatch the scene. They backed down only because he carried the weight of authority. Something you criticize the use of to solve problems. You can't stay consistent here.

>Shaming people is a good thing
Nobody feels otherwise. I'm saying that the way he did it was fucking stupid and wouldn't actually solve anything if he didn't already hold the weight of authority that you don't like relying upon. He could have just put his card down on the table and done literally anything and had it be okay. That entire scene is someone doing something retarded and it only working because of the authority they wielded.
He should have made them wash dishes until the chef was satisfied with their work ethic under threat of personally destroying their parents company if he wanted to wield power in a poetic and effective way. Then maybe they would have actually learned something from interacting with the chef as an honorable authority figure instead of just being reminded that there's always a bigger fish. All that scene's conclusion did was further disrespect the chef because they only apologized to your cuck hero without considering anything about the art and process of making sushi.

irl authority figures dont chimp out in public because they have to keep their image up. acting out and shouting is for 25 cent niggers who don’t have to interact with anyone of consequence besides maybe their probation officer. the movie scene is stupid, that shit would never happen irl, and anyone who buys into it one way or another is a retard.

>>21698182
>The way he did it was fucking stupid
That's technically irrelevant to whether or not it was right.

>They backed down only because he carried the weight of authority
Because their only "justification" for their behavior was the "authority" they themselves had while believing he had none. Like I said, it's the exact same scenario as a wanna-be tough guy picking fights with people then pussing out once someone bigger shows up. The fact that they backed down because of it is what proves him right. Them being smug pricks was fueled solely by their money and (((social))) positions and so they folded the moment they found out who he was.

You think they would've gotten out of their seats if he were some 7" bodybuilder? No! Because then he would have apparent power. Because what they possess is not confidence in their ability to inflict violence or their intelligence but merely "authority" which is nothing but borrowed power sustained by the infrastructure of society and leveraging the capacity of those aforementioned who are capable of violence
They thought they outnumbered him and that he was some nobody they could gang up on and get off scot-free because they've lived their entire lives getting off scot-free. Violence is amoral and sometimes it's the only viable option when the fabric of society and the law are at odds with Justice

>your cuck hero
I didn't even watch the show. I just think it's asinine how retards out there will side with those two clowns. To play armchair psychologist like you did; I suspect it's because they don't like how he lectured them on culture and so many people are retarded philistines who immediately feel personally attacked by such a speech. Personally, I didn't know the stuff about ginger when I first saw the webm and was actually happy to have learnt the proper use for it. Unfortunately, some shitstain excuses for people, rather than being enlightened, instead feel anger at newfound knowledge.
I have no respect for that sort.

>>21698236
>That's technically irrelevant to whether or not it was right.
You couldn't be more wrong because of the example he set. All it did was teach the lesson that they needed to make sure that they were the biggest fish in the pond. Wielding his power in such a retarded fucking way did not teach them anything about respect of the craft of sushi, nor about the need to be considerate of others in polite society. It just taught them that they need to get better at scoping out big money. Wielding your power in a retarded way is what those two chumps did. Your cuck hero did this because he was a petty fuck and couldn't wrack his brain to come up with a way to throw his weight around in a constructive way. You yammer on about "oh bro how about make things better" well maybe do things in a way that will set them straight instead of just showing them that if they become the big fish, they can do whatever they want.
There was an opportunity to display the wise use of power, but instead he just showed them that you can make an ass out of yourself in public in situations what would normally get your skull caved in as long as you have authority. Oh right, just like they were doing to begin with. But you didn't consider how fucking retarded that scene was because you learned about picked ginger from the scene.
>I didn't even watch the show
You didn't even watch the fucking scene all the way through, maybe do that and think before running your mouth like the dumbasses in that scene being rude and eating fish incorrectly.

>>21698236
>That's technically irrelevant to whether or not it was right.
it really isn’t. I’m gonna take a more extreme example with jackie aprile jr from the sopranos. when some beaners disrespected a mob pizza parlor Jackie starts a fight, pulls a gun, and tells them to go find a fucking taco bell before he caps them. the damage caused to the business was worse than the disrespect and the owner was pissed. in this scene, those people might not come back to avoid the psycho who has crashouts over sushi. Fine, but maybe their friends dont, maybe the audience to the chimpout found it worse than the guy talking on the phone and they dont come back, maybe the douchebags spent big enough for the chef to tolerate them, maybe they don’t and they’d get barred from the restaurant after that visit without any intervention. Method is everything. This scenario portrayed could’ve been handled by a polite “Excuse me, could you keep the noise down?” And escalate from there if needed. At no point should you be causing a scene in the restaurant.

If you wanna go nuclear talk to the owner and ask if they’re good customers. If they’re better customers than you, you’re shit outta luck, go find another place. If you’re better than them, say you’re not eating there if you see them again. It is the restaurant owner’s domain after all, you don’t really get a say in what he allows in. Considering the pull the guy in the scene had, he probably could’ve paid their tab and asked the chef to boot them. MPW did it all the time to rude bastard customers without even needing to ask him to, anyone who runs a place this upscale would too.

Whoever wrote this scene has never been in this situation before and just wrote a shower argument into the script. Amateurish writing, baffles me how these people get jobs in this line of work.

>>21698270
>wielding his power
He didn't do anything. He got up pissed and ready to defend himself.
It was his buddy calling his name trying to calm him down that caused the two retards to realize who he was. He didn't fucking pull rank, you stupid delusional fuckwit.

Two jackasses were a nuisance in public, tried to sling reddit one-liners when they got called out, then tried to get violent when they got told off even more.
Then they fucking pussed out because they're little faggots and proved the guy was absolutely right about them..

What the fuck is all this shit about making them do dishes? Do you think it's a fucking saturday morning children's cartoon? He's gonna make them do dishes and learn a valuable life lesson about the fucking value of friendship and hard work put into sushi making? You've lost the fucking plot. Them having a shit philosophy is their own fucking problem and ultimately a pre-existing condition. The issues arise when they try to make it other people's problems and that's when it must be rectified.

>you didn't even watch
You're the one who didn't watch the scene, you stupid fucking nigger. You mentally inept subhuman.
He lets it go because they apologize and back down, but he never once stated his name or tried to lord authority over them.
You've resorted to making shit up in your head that didn't happen just to defend your point. Just like them, you got your little ego hurt and started trying to talk shit. I'm sure if this weren't the internet, I'd have to deal with whatever your pathetic attempt at violence would be after this post.

>>21698292
>the psycho who has crashouts over sushi
>maybe their friends dont, maybe the audience
That's based on the concern of whether or not it's good for business. I make no claim whatsoever in regards to this. Ultimately, that's not the concern of the show, either. Whether it's good writing or not is the purview of /tv/ and also irrelevant to lynching retards who talk on the phone in restaurants.

>>21697018
Google review stars are different to Michelin stars dumb cunt.

>>21698315
>he got up pissed and ready to defend himself
He was about to get his shit rekt until they realized that he had authority. That is the only reason your hero didn't get his skull caved in. You can run your mouth when you have money. That's what he reinforced. He got away with it because he was powerful. Stop pretending that's not the case. Stop pretending you can even have a single thought about a scene in a show or a movie because you clearly can't. You hate how those retards were acting? He showed them that's exactly what you do when you have power. And don't for a second pretend he wasn't aware of his position over them. People don't get into positions like that being oblivious to such things.
>saturday morning cartoon
Yes, that scene was mental masturbation anyway so may as well make it poetic and entertaining if you're gonna jack yourself off to the fantasy of being the honorable gaijin.
People do not do these things in establishments they respect because of what the other anon said. Disrespecting sushi and the chef is not letting him run his restaurant how he wants, endangering his livelihood because you wanted to get pissy. You want to talk sushi etiquette and respecting the wishes of the chef, but somehow don't see how taking the agency from him in how he runs the service is the exact opposite of that.
If that guy actually cared about the restaurant and the chef then he would have asked him first. If you go back and watch the scene all the way through(for the first time) then you'd see that he speaks japanese. He could have asked about the chef's wishes in his native language in a way that would also respect the chef's dignity towards the surrounding customers.

This shit all started with you being wrong about what is and isn't niggerfaggot behavior, and not letting the chef run things the way he chooses to is top-tier niggerfaggot behavior. Cope all day about it but that's the simple truth. God you're dumb.

>>21698339
>You want to talk...
>You
Have you had a mental break? Do you think you're arguing with Mr. Miyagi? Is he in the room with us right now?
I don't give a fuck about the chef.

>He was about to get his shit rekt
Completely fucking irrelevant and you're deliberately missing the point so you can seethe more about the fictional sushi man.

>And don't for a second pretend he wasn't aware of his position over them
You've resorted to just fucking assuming random bullshit to justify your normalcattle slave-to-society shit take.

>This shit all started with you being wrong
You have literally admitted several times that I was right about them being niggerfaggots, you fucking worthless subhuman. Your entire argument boils down to whataboutism because you believe sushi man is worse and are trying to use that as a defense for the two faggots.

You were too fucking stupid to even realize what set him off.
You were too fucking stupid to realize the shit about the sauce referred to the ginger and not the sushi.
Then you tried to ignore me showing how wrong and retarded you are and stomp your feet and claim it was all about the fish still.
You started having fucking delusions about the scene due to clearly not fucking remembering it and being so desperate to defend your indefensible beliefs.
You've been trying to fucking strawman for hours with your little faggot claims of "your hero" because you're a pathetic mental midget.
Your pathetic attempts at conflict resolution ultimately boil down to conniving to utilize authority against others rather than face the problem outright. You're a disgusting little snake unwilling to stand for what you personally believe in and I don't respect you or your pathetic excuse for a philosophy.

We're never going to get anywhere with this argument because I'm not arguing with a human being. You're not an individual, you're a slave to social mores. You're fucking sheep. Cattle. A fucking herd animal through and through.

>>21698412
>I don't give a fuck about the chef.
You said we were discussing sushi etiquette and earlier you said how it's niggerfaggot behavior to not respect the culture of a foreign food the way niggers don't understand anything directly related to themselves.
If you don't give a fuck about the chef or his wishes in his restaurant, guess what, tardo? That means that you don't give a fuck about sushi etiquette. Because eating sushi and otherwise behaving in ways that are respectful to the wishes of the chef(like when you learned crazy new facts about pickled ginger and felt like it made you enlightened) is sushi etiquette, dumbass. If you care about and want to discuss the etiquette of eating sushi where sushi is served, then you by extension must care about the chef. So if we're discussing sushi etiquette, we're discussing caring about the chef's wishes and how your hero failed to do so.
But you don't care about sushi etiquette and neither does your self-insert hero. You both just care about performative outrage without actually even thinking about the wishes of the person who trained for decades to hone the craft of making the sushi and maintaining his establishment in the first place. How fucking ironic. Your cuck hero is a niggerfaggot and so are you, as are the pair of smarmy fags he sperged out on. You're all scum, with the difference being that those three are only actors playing scum.

This is my last reply, you have garnered too much attention as it is for someone as dumb as yourself. Feel free to shit yourself and try to square the circle of how "ummmm ackshually, sushi etiquette somehow has nothing to do with respect paid to the chef and his wishes regarding his craft and establishment"

>>21698431
the way niggers don't understand anything NOT directly related to themselves.*

>>21698431
>You said we were discussing sushi etiquette
I just said that to the guy wondering why we're all arguing over a fucking TV show webm that didn't even get posted in the thread that happens to take place in a sushi restaurant.

>your hero
Man, you're really still going with that strawman, huh?
It really fucking ticks you off that someone dares to think that the guy telling off the couple of retards ultimately did a Good thing. Even when I even laid out how he got rid of potentially half an hour of the guy loudly bitching about his coworkers with a single minute of arguing?

>If you don't give a fuck about the chef
I narrowed the scope of my argument in response to your constant fucking attempts to muddy the waters and outright fabricate bullshit. Telling off retarded subhumans like you is based and no amount of your brownkike kvetching will change that. You fucking niggerfaggot.

>>21685357
Thats one of the reasons he lived to very old age with good mental health, having some sort of mission/passion is what keeps the brain running and the alzheimer or other senile dementia illnesses at bay.
It may be stupid but if it makes him happy and gives purpose who cares, its not like he is harming anyone.

I remember when his movie was required curriculum for this board. Why’d everyone turn on him so bad? I never heard arrogance from him, and his work looks pretty good.
>perfecting sushi is dumb
perfecting anything is “dumb” then. yeah you can make michelin star worthy meals at home with enough skill and practice. could you do it on demand in a timely fashion? as a job? could you organize a kitchen to prepare a menu where everything is worthy of a michelin ranking? Probably not unless you dedicated your life to doing it.
Jiro’s sushi is a dish where nothing can be prepared in advance, nothing can be frozen, timing has to be perfect, and ingredients matter a whole lot more because of its simplicity. He had his son doing rice and eggs or whatever the fuck for 20 years not because he never cooked the egg “perfect” but because he had to learn consistency and timing and get the eggs out, perfectly cooked, every time every single day because one fuck up can ruin the experience. That’s what’s Jiro is trying to “perfect” about it. It’s not about laying the fish down on the heckin rice at the right angle. It’s about serving it as fresh as humanly possible, with consistency, every single day. That will be $800 dorra, gaijin.
>its too much money!
you could do it yourself, like I said. the people who eat here can burn money and be ok and have no interest learning how to make good sushi.

>>21699882
Nothing wrong with wanting to perfect a thing if that's your goal but this shit is the epitome of diminishing returns, both in skill acquired for Jiro as his years of practice wear on, as well as in quality-to-dollar for the consumer, as is always the case with things like this. With the time it takes to get skills 100% on par with Jiro, you could get sushi and 9 other cuisines to the point of being 90% as good, and that sounds a lot more fulfilling to me as someone passionate about food and cooking. That's just my(correct) opinion, and Jiro is welcome to his(wrong) opinion.

>>21685327 (OP)
At that age, any drastic change in lifestyle will kill you from what I've observed.

Did you not watch until the end? The restaurant shown off was his son's and the old corpse was barely doing shit anymore.

>>21699923
Its been a while since I watched it but I thought it was in transition to being his son’s restaurant. The movie addressed that issue of concern that the son might not be able to live up to his father’s legacy

He might have been molested or abused in some other way as a kid. That sort of thing fucks you up fundamentally and even the ones strong and exceptional enough to rise above such trauma have their entire lives shaped by it. It usually makes people histrionic cunts by nature and most people are incapable of overcoming what comes naturally to them.

>>21699946
I’d chalk up most of his behavior to being a new york jew because they’re all like that. But the suicide makes me give your theory some credit. Probably relapsed into drugs and had the realization that he never changed from his quitting and that he was never gonna get better. I’ve had the same thoughts, seriously considered eating a gun. Similar issues. Theres a certain lack of normalcy you have to come to terms with when you’re an addict, some people can’t do it. They want to drink cause normal people can drink without problems, they want to have drugs around them because normal people can without issue. It was a hard hurdle to get over realizing that I’m not normal and getting over addiction is not “becoming normal.” But the point is I think something similar did him in.

>>21702565
the ratings are low because they serve you fast and you only have at most 30s to eat the sushi after its put on your plate until you get the next one, and his first son that runs the ginza store is kind of a prick that doesnt like gaijins or people that dont understand the norms while eating at the resturant

the restaurant in roppongi has his second son running the shop, who is a lot more tolerable and laid back with his customers. i ate there just last week and it was enjoyable yet very expensive.

Anon said that they give you a hard time if you don't eat provided sushi quickly enough and they hate you if you're not japanese. If you felt rushed and got dirty looks while eating then you'd probably be rating it worse too, unless you're the sort to thank people for treating you like shit.

>>21704123
>unless you're the sort to thank people for treating you like shit
I mean it is one of the best known restaurants in the world or at least in Japan. It's not like you're being tricked in to going to this place expecting a different kind of treatment.

>>21704136
If that were the case in practice then there wouldn't be a ratings issue. It's probably a disconnect between what people read and hear and think about in regards to how their experience will go, and how things actually go and how it makes them feel about their months-long reservation and large chunk of change spent.

>>21704136
>It's not like you're being tricked in to going
I'm also not being tricked into giving a good review for a bad experience, moron.

>There were only two other diners when we arrived - two older Japanese gentlemen who Yoshikazu was charming to. We (British) were immediately made to feel unwelcome, were not acknowledged or looked at once by Yoshikazu, and were waited on nervously by his two timid female waiting staff. Contrary to every other Japanese culinary experience we have had - there was no grace nor delicacy in the process - the sushi was dumped by Yoshikazu on our plates at a rate of 1 per 90 seconds. The quality was pretty average - we have had far better sushi overseas (and elsewhere in Japan).

>The sushi was fine, but honestly no better than what you can find at many other top places in Tokyo. What stood out was the atmosphere. From the start, I felt unwelcome. The owner’s attitude was cold, and there was no sense of kindness or hospitality at all.

>There are plenty of high-end sushi restaurants in Tokyo that serve amazing food and treat you with warmth. This was not one of them.

>Everyone visited because of Jiro San, but we were informed upon arrival that Jiro San himself is disinclined to serve foreigners, only serving Japanese individuals. Foreign customers were attended to by his son, Yoshikazu. However, Yoshikazu's treatment of foreign guests was highly disrespectful, bordering on unreasonable.

>From the first interaction, someone comes out and smells you to make sure you smell okay. The person said that someone in our group was wearing perfume but no one had it on. He asked us to step outside so he could sniff each of us individually and after not being able to identify who the smell was coming from, asked us to go to the bathroom to wash our hands.

>>21704214
Do you MAYBE think if you are CAPABLE, that people paying €450 for a sushi meal might be rich people who wouldn't know world class sushi from a regular high end restaurant (that's going to be more tailored to their bourgeois tastes anyways)???
>Oh noooo I have noooooo UNDERSTANDING of what a sushi actually is but I pay good money. I did not like my restaurants experience WHY am I not being treated like a precious princess when I pay like rent money for a poor person for a single meal OMG
