    I Craved Sushi Afterwards

    by NYCRITICHICK

    Having been to Tokyo over 20 times, I never even knew about this place. I was fascinated to find out that it was in the Ginza station. All I can say is, I was desperate for sushi after the movie was over. I went to a [normally really good and reputable] sushi restaurant, and was grossly disappointed. This movie has ruined me for life. Now THAT'S effective!

    Nice story with great music ... Long and not complete.

    by mqdean

    Not one mention was made of the women that raised these men. Even Jiro said he never saw his children when they were growing up. I assume someone was actually home raising them. I am not a feminist but there was a huge hole that made the movie incomplete and somewhat hollow.
