Jiro Dreams of Sushi to Street on U.S. Blu-ray & DVD July 24, 2012
Foodies rejoice! Magnolia Pictures' release of J-documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi is finally hitting U.S. Blu-ray and DVD this July 24, 2012.
The film follows 85 year-old Jiro Ono, a man considered to be the "world's greatest sushi chef," as he goes about his days in a tiny, 10-seat sushi shop, which is located in a Tokyo subway of all places. The documentary also delves into the relationship between Jiro and his eldest son Yoshikazu, and whether Yoshikazu is able to live up to his father's legacy.
The Blu-ray will retail for $29.99 and the DVD for $26.99 and is currently available on Amazon (though it will likely hit the rest of the retailers shortly). No info on special features, so far, but I'll be sure to share as soon as more details are revealed.
