Slice up some pieces of fish

I see no problem as long as dumb people spent tons of money on little pieces of fish

Back to Mcdonalds amerilard! don't forget to buy some extra mcdoubles for your midnight snack while your at it

I'm not dumb enough to eat mcdonalds but I'm also not dumb enough to spend hundreds on a couple pieces of raw fish

I just don't get it, there's like people spending that amount of time and energy trying to cure diseases and help people, then there's this asshole who spent all that shitposting on imageboard about some guy cutting fish into little pieces - pathetic.

I will actually answer your question, OP, since it's very very obvious you weren't paying attention to the movie.

This guy is a chef because of the concentration he puts on his ingredients, selecting just the right fish, rice, soy sauce, and whatever else. These ingredients come at a premium, especially fish, which is being depleted and therefore price is going up. Also, sushi rice *needs* to be kept at a certain temperature (about body temp) for optimal taste and consistency, and that is surprisingly difficult to do.

There's also cost in the celebrity name and notariety that the chef has.

Stop being a jealous faggot, and do something with your life. Stop living life in the back seat. Learn something and get a job, nigger.

but he doesn't even have to cook the fish, he literally tosses it on top of some rice and WA LA, are you actually trying to defend this bullshit?

>WA LA
Nice meme, you sure thought you made a good point didn't you. You giant faggo. Also most people here aren't supporting your cuck bloggers but here to call you out on your ignorance to sushi. If you truly believe making good (nigiri) sushi is just slapping raw fish on rice then you should really stick to making fast food threads because you're oblivious to culinary arts.

Yes it is dumb to spend hundreds on a couple pieces of raw fish but that is irrelevant to this thread. Did you really think that's what sushi is? I bet you also consider burgers to couple pieces of well-done meat, anyone can make american cuisine as well I suppose. Mexican cuisine? a couple spoonfuls of ground beef. Italian cuisine? some tomato sauce on cooked dough.

get out of Veeky Forums you degenerate

RAW fucking FISH.
He's not even cooking.
CHEFS COOK.
He is not chef.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

he cooks rice really well tho

OP: btfo

>McDonalds actually considered "food" in America
>Is poisoning the population
>All in the name of capitalism

Why is this allowed?

Get off Veeky Forums and kys

Someone else does that.

I wonder how much money he has

Japanese "traditions" are really just unefficient ways to do everything that have been overglorified due to the country's centuries long isolation that left its people with nothing else to do but autistically repeat the same shit and do it quite literally "every day until they like it".
Everything from the cuisine to the art to the music is making everything as difficult and needlessly counter-intuitive as possible for a result that would easily be reached with ore realistic methods.

>It's another daily globalism brainwash threads using bad redddit meme to spread cultural hate and sell more burgers and pizza hut

i think i'd rather have this dude in my kitchen than a lot of other 'chefs' found all over america cooking retard MEATBALLS AND SPAGEDDI or OUR FAMOUS HOME MADE RISOTTO
you maggot

>>All in the name of capitalism
Yes.
Which is the best system humanity has ever developed.

Are you a brainwashed commie or something?
Get gassed, honestly.

What about that poisonous blowfish you have to cut perfectly or you die?

I agree only about the lack of chairs thing.

examples pls, not sure I understand your awesome observation of japanese culture and society.

That's just a meme.

Literally, every "japanese" music instrument is a differently tuned version of its chinesze origin with a tweak to make it harder to play while not change the potential or sound. Compare the Shamizen and its ridiculous plectrum to the much more fluent and modulable chinese shanxian.

I prefer Juan Likes Rice & Chicken

Hmm?

>Likes Hitler
>Hates socialism

I never understood self harm until now. Reading that made me feel an urge to slam my dick in a door. Fuck mankind and what we have become. We need to suffer for this.

>>Likes Hitler
>anyone who disagrees with me is a nazi
lmao

Nice memes Zhang. Back to your /int/ sino generals because you're just embarrassing yourself with your pathetic anti-japanese babbling.

Glad to see I'm being proven wrong
Want me to go grab the korean examples too?

*tips songkok*

what the fuck is this reddit trash

So he puts fish on rice
Wooooooooooow

>he doesn't understand the concept of tradition

If it were that easy you would actually have a job, user

This is why Portlandia is so funny.

Almost all of the effort beyond sourcing and cutting is the preparation of the rice actually.

is nigiri a sandwich? Open-faced of course.

There is no such thing as an open faced "sandwich." It's just shit on a shingle.

Tell me, cocksucker, what have you done in your life to help mankind advance?

>Also, sushi rice *needs* to be kept at a certain temperature (about body temp) for optimal taste and consistency, and that is surprisingly difficult to do.
If only there was a system that compares a controlled variable to a desired level, then adds the error term multiplied by some proportional value, maybe we could use an integrator to add a predictive element to the system, or a differentiator to control extended slow-moving processes. But that's all just a hypothetical madman's dream, truly controlling the temperature of something is impossible. Maybe one day we'll be able to do this but until then we can only... dream of sushi.
I'm gonna need a cry break, you asshole.

>allow your traditions to degrade
>wonder why western culture and society has degraded

>attaining perfection
RRREEEEEE why are they making things so difficult????

That's the nature of chasing perfection. Any chef, artist, etc, will tell you the same thing regardless of nationality. You can strive to get ever closer, but "perfect" is something you will never achieve. It's about the journey, not the final destination.

Kill yourself.

...

How about the examples about Japan conquering your shitty nation?

Yes
>Things that are things don't exist
Okay buddy, there's an al/ck/ thread you should be posting in.

I don't drink alcoholic beverages. What will be your next wild stab in the dark at insulting me to try and make me seem wrong?

This is what happens when humans would rather be at a dirt rally lifted pickup fuck fest, or a quiet arboric dinner.

You have fucking savages everywhere, and you have the japanese who have civilized.

...

Do any of you people respect drunk rednecks who can't support themselves, fuck their immediate family and wake up wondering what happened last night? Or someone who spends their entire life perfecting a flavour that's almost imposssible to attain unless you're an autistic obsessive? Sister fuckers over singular professionals. PICK.

wa la

This is a guy who was a complete fuck up his entire life and chose a profession and probably became the best in the world at it.

That's a self admitted moron who figured it out.

To be honest, my sister is pretty fuckin hot, and I drive a lifted SUV with mud tars.

You people exist, but.. you know, who'd what to be that? You can exist, but no one wants to talk about it.

I don't even have a sister. I got a brother, but he's a fat nerd.

I guess you guys need the Asian Tutorial. You need to learn traditional japanese, Chinese Szechan, Chinese Cantonese, Thai, Vietnamese etc.

This is one chinese cook going againts the chinese food governing body.

youtube.com/watch?v=pEB2WkmU6HI

Not one of you on a japanese website has made sushi rish, have you? You don't have a fan, you don't have mirin.

Rice. Spiced or not, it's just foreign crap?

Sushi rice has nothing to do with mirin. Did you confuse mirin and vinegar again, o mighty chef?

wwa la

You keep typing that like you're drunk. Are you trying to keep a beat?

>culinary arts
holy shit you're a colossal faggot. it is literally raw fish on rice, there's a level of skill needed to make it, yeah, but you act as if it's anything more than that.

Just like your economic life, you need to start filtering human life away from you. Human garbage is going to start existing below you. You're going to have to get used to human garbage being a real thing.

You need to learn you're human garbage. Just get used to it. You're a human error.

"culinary arts" is simply a term for "cooking" user. Don't let it sperg you out because it involves the word "art".

>>playing sports is easy, it's just throwing a ball around.
>>music is easy, you just press some buttons or strings on an instrument

This is how retarded you sound. Like any other field the basics of cooking are simple but mastering it is challenging. Some people are OK with simple (and there's nothing wrong with that), while other people strive to take it to a higher level.

at least you figured out that you're a depressing human gimp. don't engage real people ever again. stay in your cave.

I like sushi and all but places like this are bullshit. Sushi itself is good food. I just wish we didn't have people like this who pretend that they can charge 300-500 USD for it based on quality alone, when anyone can buy quality seafood in the area. Don't even get me started them saying the technique takes years to get right. The difference between a sushi chef after a month and after ten years is negligible. At best this is just a one time experience to show off how much money you have.

I like baseball and all, but pro leagues like this are bullshit. Baseball by itself is a fun game. I just wish we didn't have pro athletes that get paid thousands of dollars a game for it to be based on their skill because anyone can throw & hit a ball. Don't even get me started saying they are skilled. The difference between a baseball player after practicing for a month and after ten years is negligible. At best this is just an experience to show off how much money you have.

Gud sliced fish

wa la

Isn't that the guy who created Gundam?

>ceviche
>anything tartar
you don't have to heat something up to be a chef

High quality sushi is very very different from the regular shit you get at your local sushi bar, but I feel like there's an incredibly small diminishing return between High Grade Chef A and Jiro

So much passive aggressive angst in one post holy shit.

Because people will pay the price he asks.. It's called business laddy

>tfw you will never attain this high a level of pure boiling autistic rage defending a slanty-eyed shyster who charges gullible and pretentious retards hundreds of dollars to eat raw fish on globs of rice that he doesn't even make himself and passes it off as some kind of masterful artform because you think doing so makes you seem cultured and intelligent

This is one of the purest distillations of /pol/ Ive ever seen. Just add something about how women won't fuck you because of a liberal conspiracy and you're golden.

Like any intelligent, forward thinking citizens of the 21st century, my wife and I are feminists. And like any feminists we were shocked and disgusted by this movie.

Both the main character (Jiro) AND the narrator are male! If alarms aren't going off in your head so far you're probably a bigot. Things became more and more repulsive as the movie played on. All of the supporting characters are male! And even worse, almost every single character in the movie is male!

I don't care if this is a documentary. My wife left the room in tears at the end of the first hour during a particularly sickening scene where Jiro serves a room full of customers. He says (not an exact quote) "I made the meals smaller for the women and larger for the men so that everyone would finish at the same time." Things like this would be expected in a film about Adolf Hitler or Winston Churchill (both disgusting sexist pigs)but in a movie about food it was just chilling. And that wasn't even the worst part! The women in the room appeared (probably special effects or movie magic of some type) TO APPROVE OF THIS. Can you believe that?

My wife won't talk about it and I'm not sure I could if I wanted to. I finished the movie with tears in my bloodshot eyes. I can't believe we've advanced so far as a society and women are still seen as being gutter scum.

Anyone forward thinking enough to simply be on the internet, to find this movie, to read this review, will be disgusted by the brutally sexist assault on your senses and common decency this movie has gotten away with.

>he's never been out of his flyover state and learned that good sushi is about the price of macca's and a sixpack of coors

The irony of this is lost to time.

Way back in history rice had two major markets. Rice for eating and rice for sake. Problem was that there was a mushy high alcoholic rice left over from making sake that was not really wanted. This alcoholic slug rice found use in food preservation, namely in meat. To keep it together it was contained in a seaweed strands for easy handling. These rolls would be sold by many traveling stands as they contained low cost ingredients and travelers could unroll them and cook the meat later to extend the self life.

This early form of sushi was essentially cheap meat in a zip-lock bag made of alcoholic rice and seaweed leaves sold at countless cheap restaurants along the roadways.

So Sushi started as ancient japans version of the Big Mac in a grab and go Zip-lock bag. Of course at some point some idiot just ate the whole thing and realized it was good, probably didn't hurt that the rice had enough alcohol to get peasants hammered with if they ate enough of them.

Something something something .... time passes, several versions and changes happened.

One of the newer forms of Sushi was for the rich nobles with an expensive sweet rice (without alcohol), made with skillfully clean and fresh fish meat and fully pulped seaweed paper for a nicer texture and constancy. This require skills to make properly.

In sort the history of food is the history of marketing, status and available resources.
Even to day sushi is a fast food in Japan.

Ah, yes. NYC--the epitome of flyover states. Well done, lad.

oh, you must be the guy keeping guy fieri's place in times square in business

that's precisely why I think charging $300 for it fucking insane

Nice, very impressive.
