Good concept, poorly executed.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Japanese food as we never truly explored it is sublimed in this very passionate documentary. Beautifully shot to give its full meaning to the traditional Washoku, it captivates you all the way through. I really enjoyed listening to all those great chefs and learn so much about Japanese cooking but also culture. I you like eating good food and discover new tastes, this documentary is made for you and it will surely provoke a rush of hunger inside you. Where Jiro was a family story, Washoku goes far beyond to highlight the true and complete essence of Japanese cuisine. You will spend a wonderful moment and learn so much more than any other documentary about cooking that it becomes a must-see.
