Táto séria nás zavedie do futuristického Los Angeles posadnutého jedlom, kde majstri kuchári vládnu ako mafiánski bossovia a jedlo je otázkou života a smrti. Sledujeme príbeh rebelského a nemilosrdného sushi majstra, ktorý prichádza s vlastnými, nekompromisnými predstavami o umení varenia. Je to napínavý pohľad na stret tradície, ambícií a brutálnej reality sveta gastronómie.
In a not-too-distant future of food obsessed LA, where master chefs rule the town like crime lords and people literally kill for a seat at the best restaurant, Jiro, a renegade and ruthless sushi chef, arrives in town with strong ideas of his own.
Born the heir to a Yakuza crime family, Jiro never longed to travel the criminal path, but instead chose to secretly study the rich culinary history of his homeland. Over time, his ability to keep his artistic and criminal worlds separate becomes too great, triggering a great personal loss. This book examines what made him the chef he has become.
