Synopsis: Jiro Dreams of Sushi is the story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered
by many to be the world's greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of
Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously
located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is
the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star
Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated
pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a
coveted
seat at Jiro's sushi
bar.At the heart of this story is Jiro's relationship with his eldest
son Yoshikazu, the worthy heir to Jiro's legacy, who is unable to live
up to his full potential in his father's shadow. -- (Written by Magnolia)
