I've waited a long time for a large volume that does the art of sushi proud. This painstakingly researched and extraordinarily gorgeous book delves into the minds and passion of many of Japan's most masterful sushi chefs. Author and Photographer Andrea Fazzari has created a work of true beauty. One of the most magnificent books I've ever seen, the photography is so stunning that you are transported into the world that is depicted. I am fascinated by the pursuit of perfection that Japan's sushi chefs all strive for, and Sushi Shokunin takes the reader into the very souls of these chefs and their fine art. A true work of art itself, the book is a towering, exquisite achievement.
