In "Get Jiro! Blood and Sushi," acclaimed chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain teams with illustrator Joel Rose to deepen the story of Jiro, the heir to a Yakuza crime family. Jiro rejects the criminal path set before him, instead immersing himself in the rich culinary heritage of his homeland. As he delves deeper into the art of cooking, he must keep his secret passion hidden from his gangster father, and the tension between his artistic and criminal worlds culminates in a personal loss that irrevocably changes his trajectory.
