Lovely presentation. Loved the use of color, the people were in black and white but the food was in color allowing it to shine and take the main focus.

I enjoyed that it was mostly about sushi and then included details on associated topics such as: ways fish are sourced, fish markets, rice, sake, knives (and technically swords, too, to cut the large tuna), wasabi, and culinary tools.

I liked the exploration of sushi in different settings; upscale, small sushiya with a Japanese chef with three Michelin stars, laidback but still stellar restaurant with sake pairings, homemade sushi, ‘cheap' sushi at an eatery with a conveyor belt, and a French chef with Michelin stars collaborating with a Japanese chef.

Apparently California rolls originated in Canada, that was a fun tidbit.
