Proud to be Danish and very proud to see how humble René is and how he represents Denmark. What an honor for him to meet the master Jiro-San. True legend
I really respect Rene for being so humble in Jiro's presence. Not many Top chef's, let alone the Top Chef of the World at the time of this taping, would have shown so much humility and respect.
I very much agree Seeing what questions rene ask already give us information that rene have strugle as well, but hearing the answer from thr master i can see in his eyes that he was in a way suprise and amazed with the master wiseness
Amazing! It seems most people these days are just too full of ego. In the airline world many pilots think they are very good but are not. Yes, a plane just crashed,all are lost RIP
Jiro's son Yoshikazu Ono is a lesson in humility. Truth be told, the Michelin stars didn't come flying in their direction until he pretty much took over the family business. But, he allows his 90yo father the respect he deserves, and without hesitation. We could all learn from such a man.
@Pesto Patagonia Yes, it was Yoshikazu who made the sushi when the judge visited the restaurant. I think in some ways, he has exceeded his father and is a better leader himself.
@@megaxasjlvz This is right, I believe. The best part about it, as said above is how humble he is and respect his mentor-father. Obviously Jiro did amazzing, is amazing. but someone has to take over and who better than his son which was thought by the man himself? This history will always help me staying motivated as a cook. I've had many different roles, but to be proud of your work and not see work as labor but as an achievement is an ideology so long forgotten in the west. The documentary really humbled me and made me try to live a life I want, not one I endure.
I swear Jiro is going to live until he is 130 years old. He looks damn amazing for his age and his mind is as sharp as ever. He's not just an expert on sushi, he's an expert in life. Truly an inspiration.
thePowerPlant he is Japan's national treasure..Japan would go to war for him!!...I hope, I can also be privileged enough to meet Jiro and taste his sushi(saving up for it actually)..even though im allergic to most of his ingredients. Would be a miracle if I eat them, then no allergies happen!But if I need to suffer,then so be it!
+jaja1818 as a person like me who is a little apprehensive about sushi. What do you recommend for beginners?? I do love catfish, sardines but never tried sushi ..
socallawrence Maguro(Tuna) and Sake(Salmon) are usually for beginners. The quality of sushi depends on both ingredients and the chef. No one will dislike the highest quality sushi (Like the one Jiro made), I will bet you 1 million dollars on it.
very inspiring and I am amazed how friendly, calm and wise he is. and he knows that he has not that much time to live anymore but instead of getting sad about it he seems like he has already accepted it and is still happy
I admire Jiro and his son. They have the best work and life ethic. It helps me to rethink my goals when I see his interviews. If I had just one day of study learning rice with them I would remember it forever.
The most interesting part for me was at 9:36 when the son said he read Rene's diary (which I think is "René Redzepi: A Work in Progress") and I like to think that the greatest chefs from different parts of the world who don't speak the same language are still fascinated by each other.
@@Vithedel For me, I guess it's more that interesting that they can be masters and still be fascinated by another master's talents, rather than being rivals who on see their craft their way.
Such an enjoyable interview! I especially loved the part where Jiro was reminding Rene that he is who he is today due to his persistence and stubbornness, and those same attributes will bring him to greater heights in the future.
Such wise words from a legend. truly inspiring. The amount of character and discipline that he has does not even compare. It's my dream to eat at his restaurant and I would probably go to sushi heaven after.
The thing with Jiro is that, his words of wisdom don't only apply to food, but success in life in anything you chose you do. There is do or do not, there is no try. There is no such thing as failing, as failing is a part of success. I love how he says there hasn't been a day where he wanted to give up, but instead says, ''How do I become better?''
I like the presenter (never heard of him before) seems very respectful, listens intently & calmly, has a real interest in what’s being said. Can’t say I blame him, fascinating guy.
I think Rene must've resonated so much with the tako story; what with his interesting choice of ingredients and elevating them to levels above their steoreotypical tastes.
I feel this way tears my grandfather. I would like to feel that his soul and my soul are similar. That way his work and legacy can never die. Only the body can die.
Transcribed and edited my favourite snippet of this interview here: (Jiro) “Innovation is good if what it creates is tastier than what existed before. If it looks good but the taste is degraded, it won’t endure. If you are doing something new, it has to be an improvement on what came before.” (Yamamoto) "We should illustrate this with the tako story. That’s a perfect example.” (Jiro) "Most people think tako is not delicious. They’ll say they don’t like it. I found a way to modify it and make it my own. People started to love it, even ordering more than one. When you can do that, you are a master. “For example, if my son only does exactly what I tell him, he won’t get to that level. He has to struggle and work to make it more delicious. If you don’t work that way, you aren’t a master." (René) “When did Jiro san feel that he was a master? How many years did it take him to feel like he was doing a good job?” (Jiro) “Let’s say it’s 50 years. There is a lot of failure before that. You go through failures and successes, and more failures for years until it feels like you have achieved what you had in mind the whole time.” (René) “In those years, from being 8 years old until reaching 50, did you ever want to stop? Did you ever think that this is not what you want out of your life?” (Jiro) “No, Never. I never considered that question. The only question was, “How can I get better?"
He's not referring to takoyaki. He's referring to tako sushi, octopus sushi. No sushi restaurant would serve takoyaki, and in Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the story is told and it is in fact tako sushi.
I just watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" for the first time the other day (YT), and now I'm getting more vids of him in my feed. I just watched the one with Anthony Bourdain, and the difference between Jiro's demeanor here and with Anthony is night and day...he was stiff and stern and aloof with Bourdain and familial and animated and smiling with Rene. Fascinating...
The real sports of the world, the olympics, the athletes/olympians compete, let's complete this in 2020 without bias, without politics, without religion... ONLY the athletes remain against each other!
What fascinating to me the most about Jirosan is that he started this career because there was no any other choice as he was sent to a restaurant by his family to help them and live with them. In another wards his parents couldn’t look after him so they sent him away and Jiro san said “if I don’t work, there is nowhere else to go, that’s why I had to work “ and this was the story of when he was in his early teenager. It’s not the something he loved or always wanted to do at beginning but now the rest is a history.
So hes a millionaire but hes not spent a penny of it. I respect him and his craft but that isn't the way to live. At the same time I realized he wouldn't have got to the level he is today without that kind of devotion to his work.
If you haven't seen Jiro dreams of sushi. Sukiyabashi was awarded a 3 Michelin stars. But at the time the food and restaurant was surveyed by Michelin. Jiro didn't make one peice of sushi that whole year. His son made it.
In Rene's AMA he talked about how he shook Jiro's hand, which you aren't suppose to do because it can pollute the rice, and remembered this immediately after he did it and almost shit himself. You can see it happen at 10:44, the handshake, Rene's regret, and Jiro casually wiping his hand off afterwards.
why not, it's called priorities. I have known lots of cooks that make minimum wage that save and save to eat tasting menus at expensive places to enlighten and enjoy themselves instead of buying the latest gadgets and toys. $300-400 is not that far fetch, not like buying let say, a Ferrari. Quite frankly, for a pleb like me, I would not notice the difference between $150 sushi and $300 sushi. Unless you can afford to eat that well everyday to be able to understand the nuance of $150 vs $300 sushi. I might eat at his second son's restaurant if it's half the price serving the same menu. At his restaurants you're technically paying for two master chefs vs one.
It's more of a philosophical approach to life and work. Additionally, Jiro-san did not exactly gave an answer to René question about how he combines tradition and innovation because maybe he doesn't have an answer other than continuous improvement mindset.
Alternative Conspiracy Theory: The Corona pandemic was created to delay the Tokyo Olympics so that Jiro has to bless us with his presence for some more time 🥰😂
Um... such a great achievement for one person, but thinking about his son who must have not seen his dad often during his youth when he needed him the most to grow wholely, I am at quandary to admire him or to feel sad for his son and posterity.
DAISUKI!!!!! Hontō ni omoshiroi!!!! So muss es sein. Ist man bei seiner Berufung angekommen, kann man auf Arbeit nicht verzichten. Ja, es ist gar keine Arbeit mehr .... es ist ein Vergnügen, ein Lebenselixier
Its crazy that at his age, he has more spirit and liveliness than most people I know.
+Jin W Kim most people i know at his age are dead.
lets go for weehling instead.!! Der!
Most Japanese are like that that's why they are successful
LLogara pass..Albania..th-cam.com/video/h1a4Ld1eSGs/w-d-xo.html
Healthy diet and active living.
Jiro is so smart and wise, every bit of advice he has resonates. And it can be applied to anything, not just making sushi
leftyfourguns i totally agree. i was so fascinated as he spoke. makes me want to meet him and his son. such a humbling experience it would be.
reg ina I feel bad for the second son hardly anybody notices him anymore, mainly because he doesn't work with Jiro anymore
winston chiem i didn't even know both were his sons. -_-
winston chiem actually his second son do the same sushi made by jiro but in a way cheaper price.
WILL U AND JIRO GET A ROOM FOR HEAVENS SAKE??? he tosses spring rolls and gives out fortune cookies-he aint the dalai lama pal
Proud to be Danish and very proud to see how humble René is and how he represents Denmark. What an honor for him to meet the master Jiro-San. True legend
get a room will ya??? he wallops beansprouts and tosses prawn drumsticks... he aint god
jeremy western Who is better
+Simon Jørgensen norway
jeremy western Whaaat? Norwegians can't cook..
+Simon Jørgensen i can't say danish food is so interesting either, btw get that potato out of your mouths.

I very much agree
Seeing what questions rene ask already give us information that rene have strugle as well, but hearing the answer from thr master i can see in his eyes that he was in a way suprise and amazed with the master wiseness
exactly. I really liked how at one point he just became a young padowan listening to advice from the master!
Amazing! It seems most people these days are just too full of ego. In the airline world many pilots think they are very good but are not. Yes, a plane just crashed,all are lost RIP
Ramses needs to find a Yoda
he really is Yoda

More like Jiro the Hut 11:33
he's the Japanese Yoda

His father on the other hand is far from humble
There is no bad student, only a bad teacher. Its is very much a Japanese way of mentoring, very strict but very effective.
I know!
I swear Jiro is going to live until he is 130 years old. He looks damn amazing for his age and his mind is as sharp as ever.
He's not just an expert on sushi, he's an expert in life. Truly an inspiration.
Evidence of what happens when you live a life of fulfillment and purpose.
He looks like a zombie in this though wtf . . .
Whoever translated Jiro-San did a nice job.
thePowerPlant he is Japan's national treasure..Japan would go to war for him!!...I hope, I can also be privileged enough to meet Jiro and taste his sushi(saving up for it actually)..even though im allergic to most of his ingredients.

JIRO is so wise. Everything he says is quotable
I feel lucky to be alive to see jiro perform and talk.
Wow jiro said so many things that are useful in life in general! Wise man
Wow. Just wow. Wealth of knowledge
Thank you so much for your incredible wisdom Jiro.
Michael Campbell its 1am here...and just when i thought of calling it a night...I feel like, I want to work already...Jiro-san's power if you ask me
Jiro just warms my heart. I could watch him all day.
very inspiring and I am amazed how friendly, calm and wise he is. and he knows that he has not that much time to live anymore but instead of getting sad about it he seems like he has already accepted it and is still happy

Yeah man. Since it's a really lonely road with your own obsession so it's nice to know there are kindred spirits out there.
@@Vithedel For me, I guess it's more that interesting that they can be masters and still be fascinated by another master's talents, rather than being rivals who on see their craft their way.
Wow... he is just an amazing human being. With that philosophy in life, that resonates to his food. I guess that's love for food.
Such an enjoyable interview! I especially loved the part where Jiro was reminding Rene that he is who he is today due to his persistence and stubbornness, and those same attributes will bring him to greater heights in the future.
Such wise words from a legend. truly inspiring. The amount of character and discipline that he has does not even compare. It's my dream to eat at his restaurant and I would probably go to sushi heaven after.
When two top chef meets, they will talk about philosophy more than gastronomy :-)
The greatest wisdom n sagely advice. What a man. Its unbelievable.
What an amazing human being! Much love and respect to mr Jiro.
The thing with Jiro is that, his words of wisdom don't only apply to food, but success in life in anything you chose you do. There is do or do not, there is no try. There is no such thing as failing, as failing is a part of success. I love how he says there hasn't been a day where he wanted to give up, but instead says, ''How do I become better?''
I wish Jiro was my friend : )
AMEN
Japanese professionalism and devotion to their crafts is another level.
Now that's some straight up advice right there. I need to be there at the Olympics!
I like the presenter (never heard of him before) seems very respectful, listens intently & calmly, has a real interest in what’s being said. Can’t say I blame him, fascinating guy.
hope this video will still be available for generations to come, so the future people of this planet knows the hardships and goal of human beings...
I think Rene must've resonated so much with the tako story; what with his interesting choice of ingredients and elevating them to levels above their steoreotypical tastes.
What an honor to have your meal by made Father and Son. The conversation is one Rene will remember forever.
I watched the Jiro story and it’s so inspiring.
So nice to watch a master and his apprentice Jiro.
I feel this way tears my grandfather. I would like to feel that his soul and my soul are similar. That way his work and legacy can never die. Only the body can die.
That was incredible.
love it, rene is a man who is smart enough to seek advice from a master.
you can make it to the next level Rene!

Wow! Priceless, humble and wise advice.
Wasn't expect it to be motivational, but it is and I appreciated it. Thank you
The Man has the energy of a 30 year old.
No he has more energy than I do and I'm in my 30s.
There are a lot of 30 y.o. people who has now the energy as he has in 90)))
18 years old I would say.
only 3 years till the next Tokyo Olympic I hope Jiro San will make it as he wished. A true master.
ありがとうございます
This man has gold in his brain, his mindset is on point.
I have enormous respect for Rene, he pushes cooking further than anyone other chef today
i proud to be here..... you're amazing jiro
omg Jiro is teaching him so well, no matter the plateing or looks taste is no 1!

Jiro-San, Tokyo Olympics is in July.
I hope you are alive and well.
So this is the infamous jiro.. Aww he's so wise and would love to go to his restaurant one day.
I think Jiro San is so strict because he has that experience... Whole life dedicated to one cause: SUSHI!
Great work MAD TEAM
Wow lot of respect, from the chef’s
Jiro looks like Master Oougrey from Kungfu Panda, without the shell.....
Can't unsee 😂😂😂
So hes a millionaire but hes not spent a penny of it. I respect him and his craft but that isn't the way to live. At the same time I realized he wouldn't have got to the level he is today without that kind of devotion to his work.

Great interview and video! Congratulations
this is awesome and inspiring
0:52 - He didn’t have to let rip so obviously as he sat down! Goodness me.
tokyo olympics are soon and he's still at it!
You can see the focus with every creation, even when his son is using the knife, Jiro is in the moment.
It's more of a philosophical approach to life and work. Additionally, Jiro-san did not exactly gave an answer to René question about how he combines tradition and innovation because maybe he doesn't have an answer other than continuous improvement mindset.
This is crazy Renee, being 10 folds better then Jiro and the respect and admiration he shows❤
Crying right now...
tf?
Alternative Conspiracy Theory: The Corona pandemic was created to delay the Tokyo Olympics so that Jiro has to bless us with his presence for some more time 🥰😂
chef René Redzepi and sushi master Jiro Ono, are two person i like to meet and would like to understand and see how they work.
There is a wonderful shop called Matsushi Sushi in Osaka city in Japan.
René just won best restaurant in the world 2021..
Holy crap his 90?!?! Just based off how he moves and talks it looks like his only 70.
I thought he's 20!
He is 92 now!
I thought he was 89!! Blew me away how wrong I was!
Rene was almost crying ... what a great person.
What a great vid. That must have really been something.
What a Absolute Legend he is...
7:25 Someone fucked up...
TheTallicafan lmao poor son gonna be living in his father's shadow for a while...
+TheTallicafan Keen eye.
Fired on spot with just his stare.
wise words from a wise man
i agree so much about what jiro said about never think it's enough and continue getting to the next stepXD
Goal of mine to eat there :)
Absolute respect.
Oh, now I feel bad that the Tokyo Olympics didn't take place this year (as if I didn't already)
Please hold on, Jiro-sensei!
damn that was a great discussion !
Um... such a great achievement for one person, but thinking about his son who must have not seen his dad often during his youth when he needed him the most to grow wholely, I am at quandary to admire him or to feel sad for his son and posterity.
Despite living here in Tokyo for a while, I can only see Jiro-san face from youtube. Because I can't afford to eat at his place.
DAISUKI!!!!! Hontō ni omoshiroi!!!! So muss es sein. Ist man bei seiner Berufung angekommen, kann man auf Arbeit nicht verzichten. Ja, es ist gar keine Arbeit mehr .... es ist ein Vergnügen, ein Lebenselixier
all japanese chef practice the way of zen, the ultimate art
"Innovation is good if what it creates is tastier than what existed before."
最高のお寿司ですね
there honestly needs to be an anime about jiro
shokugeki no jiro
ahahahah
Real shit
Rene's thinking about his next menu:
A bag of raw rice. You wash it and cook it yourself at the table.
Lmao
3:17 Yup there goes the Steve Jobs of Sushi
I am deeply fascinated by the Japanese
