Jiro Dreams of Sushi

documentary

Oddly compelling doc about this 10 seat restaurant in Tokyo that sells raw fish...and nothing else. Even though it would seem that very little preparation or skill would be required this guy has managed to perfect his minimalist fare to a level high enough to get a 3 star rating.

It takes his apprentices ten years to achieve competence. The regimen they follow reminded me of the psychotically repetitious practices described in You Gotta Have Wa.

Definitely an odd culture.
