This documentary on a Japanese sushi chef in NYC will leave you laughing, crying and probably very hungry for sushi!

Sukibayashi Jiro is likely the most well-known sushi restaurant in the world, thanks to the popular documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. In it we see the passion and hard work of Jiro, the restaurant’s owner, in his constant quest to create the perfect sushi for his customers.

But Jiro isn’t the only one who's passionate about sushi. The YouTube channel Munchies recently put out a great short documentary about a sushi chef in New York City: Toshio Oguma. Be forewarned though: after watching, you may feel an intense urge to immediately purchase a bus or plane ticket to get to Manhattan as quickly as possible for a taste of what he and his apprentices are serving up.

The title of the documentary is The Sushi Chef: Oona Tempest and Toshio Oguma. In it, we learn the story of Toshio, the head chef, who through a series of happy accidents went from experiencing a sushi epiphany for the first time as a child in Japan, to spending years learning the craft himself, to finally winding up in New York City in one of the most innocuous ways imaginable.
