21 Photos of Sukiyabashi Jiro Sushi

Above, the poster for Jiro Dreams of Sushi.


Sometime back, I posted about an excellent documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Today, RocketNews24 posted an article, with many photographs, on Sukiyabashi Jiro. Sukiyabashi Jiro is the top-rated sushi restaurant in Tokyo. Reservations are required about three months in advance.

The article starts out with:
Cooking, like any art, requires an incredible amount of skill, dedication, creativity, and perhaps most important of all, technique. So, you would think that when it comes to a niche style like sushi, the competition for “best in the world” would be the very definition of intense. But it turns out that for most sushi connoisseurs, the answer is simple: Jiro Ono, owner and sushi master of Sukiyabashi Jiro
With an entire documentary dedicated to the now 89-year-old sushi master, he’s become well-known throughout the world for his legendary cuisine–but not many of us will ever have the chance to try his perfectly prepared delicacies ourselves. While it’s not quite the same, we’ve found the next best thing: Close up photos of his creations waiting to be devoured! Just try not to lick your screen, okay? 
For a single meal, which consists of 21 courses and is eaten in about 19 minutes, diners will pay 30,000 yen–which is worth about US$295 at today’s exchange rate. Which translates to eating roughly $15 worth of food every minute! That’s a lot of cheeseburgers…
