THE AUTHENTICITY OF JIRO

So what do you say Sup Forums? Scam or genuine?
Does doing something multiple times make you better than someone who does it once?

Is the documentary worth watching despite his quackery?

just make a fucking jiro general already if you keep making these threads holy fuck

Would Jiro's sushi pass a blinded experiment with similar sushi prepared by some illegal immigrant paid under the table?

This is the general.

Jiro dreams of soyboys

If using the same ingredients probably not

I only care about stories of Jiro shitting on foreigners

>No pictures at all, not inside and no picture with jiro after the meal. Guess he wasn't in the mood. In and out, 20 nigiri and 1/8 melon slice in 30 minutes. My tea was still too hot to drink when I finished the omakase, and I finished 20+3 additional pieces before anyone else finished their Omakase. So my picture taking would NOT have disrupted their flow. They did not even say what kind of fish each one was, the only thing said to me was, "No photo!" And as you can see, other people have definitely taken pictures there before. What fickle little bitches.

>The Japanese customers however ate at a slower pace. jiro and his son talked and laughed with those Japanese customers. Those customers also received different selections of fish. If you're going to treat foreigners with such disdain, then maybe you should not take us as customers. You like counting our money, but you don't want to give us respect or the same treatment you give your own people. Pretty disappointing. And douchey.

>At least a picture with jiro would have appeased me a little, (there are tons of pictures of jiro with his customers) but nothing. Just ¥43200 (US$400) wasted in my opinion. I do not mind doling out the cash for a good meal AND good service. For me, that is not good service. For subpar service at that price, Jiro should hold the camera for the selfie, develop the damn picture, and frame it for me.

The last one reached bump limit
I just BTFO some numale and the thread is still at the bottom of the catalogue

Repetition and practice are necessary for mastery but there is a point of diminishing returns and Jiro passed it about 60 years ago.

looks like a coughed up lung

Poor Ken-Sama

>"Yoshikazu, you must scrub everything twice after the ape man reaves"

It's a genuine scam.

>I would like to start by saying that I rated this two stars instead of one because it was partially our fault. As people who understand Japanese culture know, punctuality is paramount, so we left our hotel with ample time to spare. Unfortunately, even with directions in Japanese, our driver initially got lost and we arrived 7 minutes late.
>Jiro Ono was furious. When I explained what happened he laughed at us. Due to our tardiness (I’m assuming to punish us) he rushed through the courses with lightning speed. It got to the point where we were so full we couldn’t eat anymore, so we left early without finishing.
>By the way, the sushi was uninspired and average at best. Beyond overrated. Personally, I could care less who he THINKS he is, but his behavior was unacceptable in any culture.

Why are you so fucking obsessed with this documentary? Do you have autism

>Abe
>that fucking fake ass smile

How'd they fucking do it bros?

Another fucking thread?
Seriously?
Haven't we established that Masa is more superior in every way?
>has cooked food, not limited to raw fish and rice
>has a gigantic, beautiful restaurant in New York City
>well-earned 3 star Michelin rating

>but his behavior was unacceptable in any culture
In Nip culture it's perfectly acceptable. This weeb has no idea what he's talking about.

Absolutely based

Overpriced food for normie idiots.

>"Do not take a photo please"
>takes photo
Jiro BTFO

How will Americans ever recover?

Jiro Nightmares of Assrape

They were too stupid to be threatening
They utterly and completely fell for it, rused out of their skulls

>my feet hurt
>the sushi is overrated
>this ape is too loud
>I wish I was at home watching anime

Cultural illiteracy isn't something that you're supposed to flaunt, user.

Still better than the restaurants serving ants on bread, and flower petals on dead leaves.

No it's not. Jiro is a fucking cunt.
t. Japanese-brazillian

>please
>not prease
missed opportunity desu

lol it must be such an insult to dedicate your life to food only for hippsters to come for a photo of the "experience" as if a photo could in any way convey his life's work.
it is more likely that a photo will be a trophy like of europeans who go elephant hunting and bring back the head and tusks, so alike will the american go to Jiro and bring back a photo of the man, forever capturing him, disempowering him.
what a tragedy, i bet he took many photos only to be laughed at and greeted with big fake smiles by the disgusting cheeto filled smiles of his dishonest tourist customers

>There were two ladies that actually complained to the staff about the fast pace and had 3 pieces of nigiri sitting on their plate because they couldn't keep up. Needless to say, this was frowned upon by the chefs and when the two women asked for a picture with Jiro at the end, they were turned away because they didn't respect the process. But after they left, Jiro happily came out to take a picture with us and they even told us it was because we ate the sushi correctly and respected him by doing so.
Who was in the wrong here?

Why is it difficult to make sushi

>Do you have autism
Where do you think you are?

He lived through WW2, might have lost loved ones in the Atom Bomb. Had to witness the subjugation of his great nation by the white devil who dares call himself 'friend'. The entire country was forced to eat raw fish on rice just to survive back in those days.

White ghosts are lucky to leave that establishment alive.

>drinking a hot cup of coffee black

Where's your tea at bro? Doesn't matter when you're laughing while counting all your assets I guess..
You weebs still don't get it

>My experience- I can't really explain in words how disappointed I was with Jiro. This was my dream. I love sushi, the chase to get the reservation, the documentary, and his dedication to his craft- pretty much everything about this restaurant. However, to my disappointment, Jiro treated us like second class citizens. The fish was hot. Not warm. HOT. Like their refrigeration was broken. I've been to Saito, Masa, Yasuda, and never experienced that. Second his son is a complete asshole. As you know, his oldest son is taking over the restaurant when jiro leaves (which seems like never). His son has no passion and sees this as a job rather than his life. He will not speak to you or even give you eye contact. He won't acknowledge you and will only speak to Japanese speaking people. They do not like foreigners even if you're ready to spend $700 on sushi. I'm guessing it's because there's a list of hundreds of people each month lining up to spend that so they don't care.

It's not about fine dining, it's about rich yuppies (and middle class Brooklyn soyboys who saved all year for the trip and privilege to eat there) wanting "the experience" of eating there; of the food they've been told is so good, of being somewhere so hyped up that the former president visited, of following the esoteric etiquette and feeling accomplished and cultured for "passing the test" so to speak, of getting a photo to show off on social media. That's all it is, a short several hundred dollar tour, not a meal. I guarantee absolutely no one can tell the difference between his sushi and run-of-the-mill high end stuff that doesn't break into triple digits on te bill.

you have to fold the fish over 1000 times

My dad learned it in 2 weeks and he makes better sushi than most sushi """"chefs"""" out there. Then again he has like 20+ years of experience in being a kitchen chef.

> Japanese-brazillian

lol oxymoron

I wish I had shekels to spend and dress up like a rowdy American tourist, eat his shit fish, spit it back in the plate with a face full of disgust and laugh heartily at his repressed fake smiles

the country that has the largest number of japanese people outside of japan is brazil. yeah i couldn't believe it either

Back in the day these moneyed American youth toured Europe for the same reasons.

PREACH ON MY BLACK BROTHA

jiro just doesn't give a fuck about the customer the way people expect a restaurant to, you're there to facilitate his art

>The first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908. Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan.[8] According to the IBGE, as of 2009 there were approximately 1.6 million people of Japanese descent in Brazil

Abe (Ape) is looking like:
>If this monkey believes this, he'll believe anything
>got'em

Bitch, eel is fucking delicious.

>teleports behind you
>unsheathes rice washed for 30 years

>le "10,000 hour" meme

Jesus I really feel kicking that stuck up gook in the face

>literally eating a river snake that has rubbish and shit as its main food source
You're literally eating shit, you know that

>Jiro dreams of scamming stupid gaijin

calrose rice+rice vinegar; frozen (king) salmon or avocado. i do it cause my kid likes it and $5 a roll is way too expensive for a bit of rice and avocado. you can freeze your own fish but it's not recommend compared to flash freezing.

anything more complicated i leave for professionals, i get a decent omakase for $40/$50

Ohhh it is delicacy!!
Most esperrsiv, very much moni, utmos quarity!

if thats what he dreams of what is his nightmare?

This is the only way to treat American tourist, the most obnoxious people in this world

with that logic everything you've ever eaten is also shit unless you're a vegan soyboi

would you pay 500$ for it?

>You must spend a lot effort to book this restaurant. But only they provide lunch seats even I asked hotel to book at the first day of Jan. They only told me to wear no T-shirts but at the door I'm refused to come in because I don't have a collar of my jacket! I have to buy a new shirt in 5 mins so that I will not miss my booking. Jiro's not there. Only his elder son is making Sushi only for local customer! My friends and I are serviced by their apprentice with terrible control of wasabi amount.

HAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Hiroshima all over again

do people die from eating this?

Carnivores don't eat shit
Herbivores don't eat shit
Omnivores don't eat shit

Roaches and flies eat shit
You eat shit

Did you know that Nips have to pay for their own garbage disposal? Well, the trash bags they have to buy to dispose of shit come printed with the words "Disposable trash" written in 2 languages: Japanese and Portuguese.

Succinctly put

Why would you want a photo of someone who's treating your so coldly?

china took over that title now

>go to jiro's raw fish shack
>keep asking for soy sauce

HIROSHIMA TWO BITCH

>My fiancé and I were so excited to visit this place, after watching the documentary and hearing all the hype. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of worst food experiences we've ever had. We've been fortunate to have traveled to many places and experience good cuisine over the years. Jiro was such a let down, not only for how over priced it is for the 21 minutes you're allowed to sit there, but for how rude they treat you throughout the process. The sushi is good, but definitely not a premium to other sushi restaurants in Tokyo and Japan, and you're better off spending your morning elsewhere. They give you a bandana at the end of the rushed meal to remember the experience, we politely declined and left it as we didn't want the reminder of the time and money we wasted but more importantly the great disappointment

how could jiro not be "authentic"? unless he is an american lying about being japanese.

it's funny how much they care about getting the picture with jiro and then say they deserve the same amount of respect as japanese customers.

this lol

You can get better sushi for 1/100th the price just around the corner from Jiros

Reading the reviews it seems they rush you through 30-40 pieces of sushi in 30 minutes then kick you out. If I'm paying 400 bucks then i would want to savor it, especially if it's supposed to be the best fucking sushi in the world.

>My experience- I can't really explain in words how disappointed I was with Jiro. This was my dream. I love sushi, the chase to get the reservation, the documentary, and his dedication to his craft- pretty much everything about this restaurant.

I think you haven't yet been exposed to The Chinese Tourist?

Wrong. I live in Greece and the British and Chinese are far worse.

If you're eating at Jiros then you deserve to be gyped. Even if I was comped I would eat there just once to see the scam in action first hand

>My husband and I have been blessed in our travels and dining opportunities and we've never been more disappointed in a culinary experience. Jiro is a scam. He's selling a less than 30 minute experience under the guise of optimal freshness, a taste sensory experience and beating the 'full' trigger, but when we were demanded 15 minutes into our meal to eat faster (already over half-way through the 21 piece tasting menu) not for any of the aforementioned reasons but because a reservation was after us, I sadly realized this had nothing to do with creating the optimal dining experience but rather Jiro's ingenious plan/scam to create the first fast food Michelin Star restaurant - in and out in less than 30 minutes, treated poorly and feeling terrible for the rest of the evening - given the choice, I'd prefer a Big Mac and fries.

Its so disgusting that they don't wear gloves to make the sushi

You think at night, Jiro breaks out the grill when all the white pigs leave and serves his brothers some actual skillfully roasted delicacies?

>terrible control of wasabi amount

holy shit hahaha

If you want your chef to make conversation and do parlor tricks while he's serving you, maybe go to Benihana or whatever.

the body temperature cooks the fish just slightly

How is that disgusting? I hope you realize that most of the food you've ever eaten at a restaurant has probably been touched by at least one person's bare hand.

paid $300 for a sushi but can't get a decent shirt. of course they get serviced by the apprentice.

Hey greekbro. I've also got the same impression. Americans are friendly, positive and curious.

Of course you would soyboy

What's the matter, you don't like the taste of hand sweat?
It's about the subtle nuance, that slight tart and saltiness.. you wouldn't understand

Jiro sucked my dick AMA

At least I don't see it, just gross

jiro's sweat cost extra

Apparently jiro himself barely makes sushi anymore and his son is the one doing most of it in the main restaurant. So you're paying through the nose for a second rate "master" work who doesn't even like the job that much, for a rushed meal that you won't have time to enjoy.

not only does she get to brag that she ate somewhere very few people can get the opportunity or have the ability to eat, she also gets to claim it wasnt good enough for her.
this is porn for the average psychopathic female brain.

>terrible control of wasabi amount.
This is a persistent thing with Japanese restaurants that don't want foreigners coming. There was an outrage last year after a restaurant in Osaka repeatedly gave food with extremely concentrated wasabi hidden in the food then feigned ignorance when diners (all of those affected were foreigners) vomited.

>eating sushi made with the hands of renowned fetishists and chronic masturbators

Think of this, let it seep into your heads
Enjoy your finger food, soys

when you're at the top you don't need to look down

He spit roasts his eldest son with his younger son.

It's the reason why the eldest son is so bitter and grumpy all the time in the restaurant.

pigs eat shit all the time, that's why muslims don't eat pork

There a beaches here where they straight up banned Brits lol
