A film documenting 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.

Imagine living a life devoted to your work, your art, or your idea of perfection - Jiro, at age 85, is still trying to reach the top while taking his sons along. With achievements like his, many would probably consider retiring and letting the next generation takes over, but for Jiro, he's simply not done.

Do each of us holding a key to unlock that passion within, no matter how old we are?

Thank you Annie! It's an incredibly inspiring story, and yes, it could be a bit of torture to sit through the film wanting to taste every piece of sushi on the screen ;)
