Sushi


Jiro Dreams of Sushi was one of the hidden gems of the year when it came out. More people needed to see it. The story is about a renowned sushi artist in Japan, his life and his process of doing things. It was fascinating to see a master at his work. It was about food, but so much more than that. He took pride in what he did, and made it his life. Just to think that people make reservations to his restaurant months in advance is mind-boggling. 
I really appreciated the inside look into something that most people wouldn't think of. The story is well crafted and doesn't feel like a drab documentary. The visuals are appealing and make you want to eat some sushi!
It's interesting to think that it takes someone three years to learn how to properly make rice before they even touch the actual fish. That is so crazy. You need to be so dedicated to do that job, and that's awesome. It makes me feel really, really good inside to see how passionate people are about what they do. Every time I think about it, it makes me think that everything's going to be ok.
