I wanted to see this movie from the moment that I saw the preview! This tiny, old Japanese man just won my heart. I just wanted to scoop him up. The movie was slow and beautiful, just like his food. His restaurant, is in a subway stop in Tokyo. You have to reserve 3 months in advance to eat there and it is a minimum $600.00 US to eat one meal. He was declared a national treasure in Japan. It is easy to see why. He pours everything into creating perfection in food. Every day he strives to make the food better than the last. I have to visit this restaurant if I ever make it to Tokyo!!!
