""I can no longer come to the restaurant every day ... but even at 100, I try to work if possible. I believe the best medicine is to work.""
""I plan to keep going for about five more years,""
""I haven't reached perfection yet,""
""I'll continue to climb trying to reach the top but nobody knows where the top is.""
Jiro Ono, now 100, earned three Michelin stars for more than a decade and became the world's oldest head chef to hold that honor. He founded Sukiyabashi Jiro, a ten-seat sushi bar in a Ginza basement, after beginning an apprenticeship at age seven, moving to Tokyo at 25, and opening his own restaurant in 1965. He has served dignitaries and had his craft featured in an award-winning film. He plans to continue working about five more years and says work is the best medicine, acknowledging he cannot come daily but still pursues perfection.
