Jiro Dreams of Sushi

The cultural significance of the film Jiro Dreams of Sushi was to show how an 85 year old man

was aesthetic, and wanted his two sons’s to possess the same Japanese craftsmanship. Ono was a

disciplined man. Ono was considered to be one of the world’s most prodigious sushi chefs.

Yoshikazu Ono’s eldest son stated that they were not trying to be the most exclusive or elite

sushi restaurant. Their techniques were not a big secret. The principle is about making an effort

and repeating the same thing every day. Some people are born with a natural gift. On the other

hand, some people have a sense of palate and a sense of smell. Ono is very hard on himself he

sets standards for himself. Every chef has five attributes that they follow. First, take your work

very seriously and consistently perform on the highest of expectations. Secondly, be aspired to

improve your skill. Third, always keep everything clean within your work space. Fourth, a chef

must also be impatient. Lastly, a chef must have a passion for what they do. A good chef would

possess all these five attributes. The merit of the common greater good is more significant than

valuing one’s own needs. This postulate is applied in the workplace, social groups, and later in

life. Ono works relentlessly day by day. Ono has two son’s one is named Yoshikazu that’s the

oldest and the other is name Takashi. He wants his older son Yoshikazu to take over the business

when that time comes when he has to retire. Takashi has a more affordable sushi restaurant in a

Tokyo neighborhood. Ono left home at the age of nine. He lived with his father until he was

seven years old. Most people cannot keep up with the hard work and they quit. Ono teaches his

apprentice for free. He guarantees after ten years of his training you will be rated a number one

chef. Ono top priced restaurant has received three Michelin stars. Smaller restaurants are popular

in Japan and are normally family run businesses. He has some customers that travel far to come

and partake in this incredible sushi. He has been entered into the Guinness world records. Ono

has had the same job for a very long time. He has trained his son’s harder than he has trained any

other apprentice. His two sons’s followed their father’s profession and techniques. Ono stated

that he wanted to make sure that he left his children with something. There is a lot to be learned

from Jiro. This film made you aware of how hard work and dedication can pay off in the long

run. In some cases parents have a very influential part in their children’s lives. Children tend to

want to imitate what they see their mother or father doing. When we tend to strive for perfection

in something we have a passion for only positive things can stem from that. Being about family

and wanting to share your expertise from generation to generation. Overall Jiro was a complexed

father, but he was loving and very successful in the culinary world.
