The greatest happiness as a person in the world is to have a good fortune. This is not because of the wealth of the family, because my father is a cook. He is not a senior chef, and it can be said that he has been cooking for more than 30 years. He still works in the cafeteria of his unit. According to him, he didn't plan to cook after graduating from junior high school. When he was assigned to the unit, there was a shortage of people in the cafeteria, so he was asked to go to the hotel for training and obtained a chef certificate. Cooking is very hard work. I believe that people who have cooked will experience it, not to mention working in the cafeteria.

I haven't tasted Erlang sushi in the film, and I haven't eaten sushi either. It turned out that it was rice balls wrapped in seaweed with ham, but after watching the film, I felt that Japanese sushi is as ever-changing as Chinese food. Erlang sushi is the king of the kings, and it is the only food that Michelin has rated three stars. But judging from the film, Erlang sushi is very simple. In fact, every process must be perfect, no matter the temperature of the ingredients, it must be accurate. This is commendable. The most valuable thing is their persistence day after day. high standard. There is a saying in China: Perseverance is the most expensive. It's not difficult to do one thing well, the key is to keep doing everything well.

Erlang is an old man in his 80s. At this age in China, he should be at home and enjoy his family in his old age. It is incredible to go out to work. But a few years ago, I read in the newspaper that the reason why Japanese people live longer is that the food and environment are very good, and the second is the mentality, that is, they are not satisfied with the old age. There are many people who work in their 80s. They believe that physical aging is inevitable, and the key is not aging mentality is the foundation of longevity.

It is this kind of mentality that creates Erlang's indomitable character. There is a saying that it is better to seek others than to seek yourself. The only way to stand on the society is to be strong. Today's Erlang Sushi is only due to the almost ruthless high standards for himself. He insists on purchasing the best ingredients by himself every day, meticulous production procedures, insisting on innovation and not stagnant, and constantly honing and improving technology. It's been like this for more than 50 years, and it's still the same to this day. The requirements for his two sons are more severe than the apprenticeships, so they will become first-class sushi masters.

Some people say that you don't have to strive for perfection, but that doesn't exist. However, in this way, we will lose our enterprising spirit and then be mediocre, born in distress, and die in comfort. These 8 words always remind us that only by moving forward can we not be eliminated by the times, and constantly hone ourselves is the way to survive. .

    The feeling is always showing, showing a kind of spirit, a kind of life, but I expected to have more in-depth digging and discussion. The sushi I ate before was really junk food...

    The spirit of the craftsman is to only do one thing in his life, and to do it to the extreme.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi quotes

  • Yoshikazu Ono: [on one of his fish vendors] His grandfather was known as "the god of sea eel." He was a legend. I've never met him in person, but that's what I've heard.

  • Jiro Ono: When I was in first grade, I was told "You have no home to go back to. That's why you have to work hard." I knew that I was on my own. And I didn't want to have to sleep at the temple or under a bridge so I had to work just to survive. That has never left me. I worked even if the boss kicked or slapped me. Nowadays, parents tell their children, "You can return if it doesn't work out." When parents say stupid things like that, the kids turn out to be failures.
