I don't understand how tuna can be 20 bucks a pound but also like 5 dollars for a bunch of tiny cans.

food experts can't even tell the difference between a 20 dollar steak and a 1 dollar steak that went swimming in pineapple juice for an hour

literally everything is a yakuza racket

i can admire dedication to a craft, but it's funny that the same people who happily shit on fart-sniffing sommeliers who bullshit entire tasting tournaments will eat up this nonsense documentary. the idea that his sushi is better because he makes his underlings spend ten years learning to cook rice, then ten years learning to cook a big omlette, then five years cleaning the knife sharpening blocks etc is a joke. at 48 after spending 30 years assembling sushi for 70 hours a week, you will not improve whatsoever if you keep at it for 30 more years

do you also fail to comprehend how a plastic wrapped walmart """steak""" costs 5 bucks while grass fed local farm actual steak costs way more than that? not to mention wagyu steak

We got too cocky Jirobros

the majority of why his sushi is good because he has a God tier fish selection

>"The ‘world’s best sushi restaurant’ has been stripped of its three Michelin stars. But the decision, which was announced in Tokyo on Tuesday, has nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant’s tuna belly or the consistency of its vinegared rice. It is because it is no longer open to the public."

based Jiro banning all LA blogger instagram whores from his restaurant

>"waaaaaah $300 for 20 pieces of top tier sushi is too expensive!"

Ok virgins, lets calculate that.

>The restaurant only takes 8 customers per day á $300, that's $2400 maximum potential revenue that the restaurant can generate per working day
>Assuming the restaurant is open 6 days per week that's 24 working days per month
>The restaurant would have a maximum of 192 customers per month(8 customers per day x 24 working days per month)
>24 days x $2400(8 customers x $300) = $576000 maximum potential revenue per month
>Jiros buys the best quality blu fish tuna which costs around $220/kg
>Jiros buys the best quality short grain rice at approximately $55/bag(9.08kg bag)
>Since other items(onions sauce, ginger, sake) are required to prepare a 20 piece meal plan for each customer, we will assume they cost $100 per working day
>The restaurant employees 8 apprenticeships, each one of them probably receives minimum wage which would be $8.85/hour
>According to the film all employees work approximately 10 hours per day á 6 days per week that's total 240 working hours per month
>8 employees x 240 working hours each x $8.85 =$16992 in wages per month(you also have to add taxes and social security costs for all wages so we will round it up to $20000 per month)
>Since we don't know how big the restaurant is and how much Jiro pays for rent we will assume the average cost at $4000/month for a similar commercial place like Jiro's restaurant in Tokyo
>Utility costs of the restaurant like electricity, water, gas etc. which should be around $2000/month
>Average cost for kitchen equipment for a sushi restaurant are around $75000.

Now lets add up all monthly costs up:

>$20k(wages)+$5.3k(tuna per month)+$165(3 bags of rice)+$2400(misc costs per meal)+$4k(rent)+$2k(utility costs)+$625(kitchen equipment costs of $75k/10 years= $7.5k per year/12 months) = $34490 total costs per month/192 customers per month = $180 production costs per meal

$300-$180= $120 profit per meal (ROI=66%)

his younger son's restaurant is still open?

there are multiple bookings in a day. they don't only serve 8 people for the entire day.

>The restaurant only takes 8 customers per day
Why? thats so fucking pretentious

All food tastes the same. Pre packaged frozen, homecooked, fast food, high dining restaurant; they all taste the same quality as each other. There's only two types of food. Shit, and ok. Great food doesn't actually exist.

he literally banned all plebs from his restaurant
you can't even reserve a spot if you're from the general public, especially if you're a tourist

is this what a standard amerilard believes
quite sad

So why the fuck did he agree to appear in the stupid documentary? It could not be abundantly more clear he doesn't want to serve the average gaijin pleb, probably not even the average nip pleb, so what the fuck did he think would happen?

Thats just bad business

I'm not American

the absolute proverty on this board.

He's clearly still mad over ww2. Only way he can get back at the west is by denying them shitty sushi. lmao

do striver fags really take pictures of their receipts when they go out to a nice restaurant? lmao

Not everyone wants to make their restaurant into a soulless mcdonalds franchise. Not everyone is just an endlessly money hungry whore.

He could easily open up like 20 restaurants all across Japan, have all of them full of guests at al times and make literal billions, but he obviously doesn't give a fuck about that and just wants to be turboautistic about fish in his own little restaurant till the day he dies.

I like sushi but the way "foodies" describe it as some kind of high form of culinary art is the same thing as some douchy art people considering a square on a blank canvas as a masterpiece. It's completely delusional. Sushi first of all started as a street food. I don't care how fresh and how high quality the ingredients are at the end of the day it's just fish on rice. Yes it's yummy but it's not anything special. It's not even the best type of Japanese cuisine.

Which third world country are you from where all food is of the same dogshit quality, no matter is it from a can or fresh?

He doesn't need to work and he lives entirely off his own notoriety. He's just sick of dumbass tourists coming to his little restaurant and complaining when he doesn't fawn over them

uh, no? like I said you idiots don't know shit about sushi.
it's not his fish, it's his rice. the main part of sushi is the rice.

I've had a bar receipt like that.

I remember my first time at a sushi restaurant. I didn't feel the need to take a picture of the receipt though.

That's actually not that expensive. I expected much worse.

theres one born every minute
