He dreams of Sushi....

Meet 85-year-old Jiro Ono, owner of Sukiyabashi restaurant in Tokyo.



He is quite possibly the world's greatest Sushi chef.

Now I don't care for sushi, but his work is truly fascinating.

Even more fascinating? This man himself.

His restaurant is located in a subway station in Japan and only has 10 seats.  People come to Japan JUST to go to his restaurant, and thus he has earned his restaurant the only 3-star Michelan Guide rating of it's kind.  They don't serve soup.  They don't serve appetizers.  JUST SUSHI.  Prices start at 30,000 Yen, which is $273.51. 

As an apprentice at his restaurant, you can only make it behind the counter if you've effectively wrung out scorching hot hand towels for 10 years and massaged the octopus for 50 minutes every day.  

Watch this truly amazing documentary, as it will most definitely change the way you view your life.
