Is Jiro, the God of Sushi, still cooking at 96?

Jiro Ono was born in 1925 and is 94 years old this year.

This nearly 100-year-old man still maintains a meticulous professional attitude and degree. Standing in front of the sushi table, concentrating on serving sushi for guests, no matter from which angle, it is awe-inspiring and infinitely moving.

Jiro Ono was once rated as the oldest Michelin-starred chef, with a high status in Japan and a national treasure.

In a variety show with Nicholas Tse as the chef, Feng Ke took his friend Jay Chou to a sushi restaurant. Jay Chou, who has always been well informed, even stuttered with nervousness. Just sit down and let Jay Chou wipe his hands with a towel, and Jay Chou will do things honestly like an obedient child.

Every guest who comes to the store can feel Jiro's insistence on sushi in all directions. This is why Jay can't help but be nervous.

Jiro sushi has its own doorway. The power of good sushi is concentrated on the surface. When Jiro Ono holds sushi fast, it will slowly sink when his hand is released. Sushi is soft in the middle, and every grain of rice is suspended.

While kneading sushi, the old man kept his own rhythm and wondered whether he could achieve the best effect. His hands are very sensitive, and he has been groping and exercising his sensitivity to ensure accurate control of the Force.

Even at this age, the old man still tries harder to catch sushi than any young man, which is like the crystallization of his efforts.

In addition to the perfection of "pinching sushi", the handling of ingredients is the more essential strength of Jiro sushi.

Octopus, for example, needs to be rubbed for an hour after purchase, which can break the fiber and give play to the softness, elasticity and rich flavor of the meat.

Shrimp is handled more finely. Generally, sushi restaurants will cook them in advance for use. Jiro asked to cook sushi in a pot before making it, then pour cold water to cool it, and make sushi on the spot.

Probably no one can inject countless emotions into a sushi like him. It's better to eat that idea than sushi.

Saotome Zhezai, known as God in Tempura, ate sushi from Jiro Ono more than 5,000 times and spent tens of millions of yen.

Sato commented that he went to Jiro's shop not only to eat sushi, but also his attitude towards life and aesthetics. His intentions for fish, rice and life are all in Xiao's sushi.

Jiro's heart became weak due to the force majeure of age. Therefore, Jiro now only works at night, and his disciples take care of the shop during the day.

Since suffering from angina pectoris, whenever the weather gets worse, Jiro's heart will ache faintly. The disciples who were worried about Jiro's health put a stool for him in the kitchen. Even when his disciples were preparing food, Jiro didn't sit down because he stipulated that he must stand during business hours.

The doctor told him that he must control the workload. But Jiro thinks it's boring to watch TV programs at home, so he might as well go to the store to work.

Jiro said, if possible, I hope to hold sushi with these hands until 100 years old.

I want to end this article with a sentence from Jiro Xiao Ye: "I will keep improving and strive to reach the peak. But no one knows where the peak is. "

As we all know, it is very, very difficult to book the "God of Sushi" Dadong Ginza Hotel with only ten seats. Before, we could ask a high-end group hotel in Japan to book it for us, but in the last two years, we couldn't even book the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo. Many sushi lovers have spent years trying a real trip.

But everyone who has eaten it will agree that this is "sushi worth waiting for a lifetime."

Under such difficult circumstances, the team of Japanese cuisine Japan Foodie still provides the reservation service of Sushi God Restaurant, including "Mercedes-Benz shuttle service in downtown Tokyo", which can be said to be very intimate. After all, taking a taxi in Japan is really expensive and troublesome.
