A sushi master watches sushi scenes.
@mcfate Have you seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi? Documentary that was on Netflix a bit ago, really interesting doc. The guy REALLY takes pride in his craft to levels I never thought possible.
Yes, that's been out a couple of years now. Jiro-san is pretty famous in Japan.
@mcfate He sure seemed to be, with how formal his servings are.
I wish wish WISH I could try his sushi.
Last I heard, his waiting list is about fifteen months long. Bring all of your wallets.
@mcfate I could never afford to.π
I do find inspiration in his dedication though. Truly.
There's no shortage of sushi places in Tokyo, and many of them are relatively reasonable.
If I had the money to go to Sukiyabashi Jiro, I'd go to a half dozen different places instead.
RULES, HE HAZ EM.
@mcfate ... Man I'm learning all kinds of stuff today!
Sushi got started as snack food for gamblers, the same way sandwiches did. "Tekka-maki" means "gambler's roll".
@mcfate Interesting! I love hearing about the origins of food from other countries. Rich roots. What else do you know about their food? I've never been there but the ramen shops look incredible.
That's too open-ended a question, I spent a lot of time in Japan.
@mcfate True, I'm also really hungry so the food talk is right up my alley right now.
We get a lot of Japanese tourists here (normally) and they've always been super respectful.
