Heralded as a Japanese national treasure, Jiro Ono, 86, is the first sushi chef in the world to receive three Michelin stars, and is the proprietor of the world?s most celebrated sushi restaurant, Tokyo?s Sukiyabashi Jiro.
Hidden in a basement attached to the Ginza Metro Station, Sukiyabashi Jiro has vaulted into the worldwide cultural milieu thanks to its appearance on Anthony Bourdain?s ?No Reservations? TV show and the recent release of the David Gelb feature-length documentary ?Jiro Dreams of Sushi.?
Rather than simply watch the mouthwatering food porn that is Gelb?s doc (trailer courtesy of Magnolia Pictures), I went a step further, traveling directly to the source to offer the following account of Chef Jiro?s legendary soft-handed, two-fingered technique that pairs fresh nigiri cuts from the Tsukiji fish market with warm and delicate rice.
Here?s how the evening went -- spoiler: I was not disappointed.
