    Jiro's son Yoshikazu Ono is a lesson in humility. Truth be told, the Michelin stars didn't come flying in their direction until he pretty much took over the family business. But, he allows his 90yo father the respect he deserves, and without hesitation. We could all learn from such a man.

    • @megaxasjlvz
      @megaxasjlvz 3 года назад

      @Pesto Patagonia Yes, it was Yoshikazu who made the sushi when the judge visited the restaurant. I think in some ways, he has exceeded his father and is a better leader himself.

    • @todalio9238
      @todalio9238 3 года назад +1

      @@megaxasjlvz This is right, I believe. The best part about it, as said above is how humble he is and respect his mentor-father. Obviously Jiro did amazzing, is amazing. but someone has to take over and who better than his son which was thought by the man himself?
      This history will always help me staying motivated as a cook. I've had many different roles, but to be proud of your work and not see work as labor but as an achievement is an ideology so long forgotten in the west.
      The documentary really humbled me and made me try to live a life I want, not one I endure.

  • @handicappedhero
    @handicappedhero 7 лет назад +18

    Transcribed and edited my favourite snippet of this interview here:
    (Jiro) “Innovation is good if what it creates is tastier than what existed before. If it looks good but the taste is degraded, it won’t endure. If you are doing something new, it has to be an improvement on what came before.”
    (Yamamoto) "We should illustrate this with the tako story. That’s a perfect example.”
    (Jiro) "Most people think tako is not delicious. They’ll say they don’t like it. I found a way to modify it and make it my own. People started to love it, even ordering more than one. When you can do that, you are a master.
    “For example, if my son only does exactly what I tell him, he won’t get to that level. He has to struggle and work to make it more delicious. If you don’t work that way, you aren’t a master."
    (René) “When did Jiro san feel that he was a master? How many years did it take him to feel like he was doing a good job?”
    (Jiro) “Let’s say it’s 50 years. There is a lot of failure before that. You go through failures and successes, and more failures for years until it feels like you have achieved what you had in mind the whole time.”
    (René) “In those years, from being 8 years old until reaching 50, did you ever want to stop? Did you ever think that this is not what you want out of your life?”
    (Jiro) “No, Never. I never considered that question. The only question was, “How can I get better?"

    The thing with Jiro is that, his words of wisdom don't only apply to food, but success in life in anything you chose you do. There is do or do not, there is no try. There is no such thing as failing, as failing is a part of success. I love how he says there hasn't been a day where he wanted to give up, but instead says, ''How do I become better?''

      why not, it's called priorities. I have known lots of cooks that make minimum wage that save and save to eat tasting menus at expensive places to enlighten and enjoy themselves instead of buying the latest gadgets and toys. $300-400 is not that far fetch, not like buying let say, a Ferrari. Quite frankly, for a pleb like me, I would not notice the difference between $150 sushi and $300 sushi. Unless you can afford to eat that well everyday to be able to understand the nuance of $150 vs $300 sushi. I might eat at his second son's restaurant if it's half the price serving the same menu. At his restaurants you're technically paying for two master chefs vs one.

    The real sports of the world, the olympics, the athletes/olympians compete, let's complete this in 2020 without bias, without politics, without religion... ONLY the athletes remain against each other!

    Despite living here in Tokyo for a while, I can only see Jiro-san face from youtube. Because I can't afford to eat at his place.

    Rene's thinking about his next menu:
    A bag of raw rice. You wash it and cook it yourself at the table.
