It&#8217;s a great little documentary exploring his life, the unfathomable passion and quest for perfection that he has with his work. Wonderfully well shot too, I loved the timelapses and scenes from Tsukiji market, though at the same time I felt that there was a little overuse of a fisheye lens in capturing these scenes. I found the distortion overwhelming and unnecessary in some of the motion scenes where perhaps a 14 or 20mm rectilinear lens would be sufficient.

Probably worth it, but alas I don&#8217;t have the cash to spare currently. However, having had a little look around, there are a number of places that a) have a Michelin star and b) do a reasonably priced lunch deal. The cheapest is even in the region of \u00a5800 (~\u00a36.50). Yes, I will be going at least once in the near future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I watched the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi (link to rotten tomatoes) all about the 86 year old Michelin 3 star chef behind the restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro.
