The film is portioned approximately 50/50 his history/life and the food, both are amazing - though as a food buff myself the scenes where he preparing the sushi are incredible.
It at times feels like what can only be described as food porn, with slow motion slicing of fish, pressing of rice and coating the top with what I assume is magical love sauce.
This is all set to a classical soundtrack which seems to fit the film so very well.
Jiro dreams of sushi is a must see for food lovers, and according to rotten tomatoes, people in general - It is rated at 99% after 83 reviews and currently sits in the top 10 best films of 2012.
Watch the below trailer in HD, then watch the whole damn film because then you will understand how hard it is to make a sushi documentary sound interesting.
