Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi

Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose return to their sushi master Jiro in this prequel to the graphic novel Get Jiro!, telling the story of how he became a chef. Born the heir to a Yakuza crime family in Japan, Jiro secretly studies the culinary traditions of his homeland instead of following his gangster father into crime. As his passion for cooking deepens, keeping his two worlds apart becomes impossible, leading to a personal loss that changes his life. Illustrated by Alé Garza, the book was published by Vertigo in 2015.
