We where fortunate to screen this movie at our monthly event Amongst Friends. I’ve been waiting for this documentary for way to long and was mesmerized on so many levels. Jiro is master!

This documentary was more than about striving to make the perfect sushi. How to make the perfect nigiri or omelette……It’s about the drive and spirit behind it.

Jiro and his sons made me think again about practising what you love and to love what you do! This will make your life easier haha Smile a lot and don’t complain about what you do. Do something else or find something to love about in what you already do.

Another thing is focus! I’m from the generation with slashes. You can do what you like, all at the same time and maybe execute it all mediocre… Because you don’t have the time to excel in a few things. Jiro choose for the craft of sushi and focussed on the quality of his fish, how his rice is made, how long his octopus is massaged and how good his mackerel needs to be marinated.

Then strive for perfection in your craft. It’s still a journey for me too. Discovering what you like and what you are good in or not. When you found it, or think you found it. Make it perfect by repeating and experimenting by using new techniques.

This film was such an eye opener in so many ways. And sushi was just a small part of Jiro’s determination. Get inspired and enjoy :)
