Esta serie se sumerge en un Los Ángeles del futuro cercano obsesionado con la comida, donde los chefs maestros reinan como capos del crimen y comer es cuestión de vida o muerte. Sigue el viaje de un maestro de sushi renegado y despiadado que llega con su propia visión intransigente de las artes culinarias. Es una exploración apasionante de la tradición, la ambición y las brutales realidades dentro del mundo de la gastronomía de alto riesgo.
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.
