Racism

Though it received good reviews, Jiro Dreams of Sushi was criticized for ignoring the accusations of racist practices in his restaurant. Many people have complained that Jiro, his son Yoshikazu, and his staff are shockingly rude to all foreigners. One person said that his party had their belongings tossed at them and when they entered despite having a reservation, but when his Japanese wife entered she was treated incredibly politely. The customary bow Jiro gives to departing customers in the movie is apparently something he only does to Japanese customers.
