Recognized as living national treasure?[edit]

This article claims that Jiro Ono "has been recognised by the Japanese government as a living national treasure". However, the source cited for this claim is just a blog post from a software engineer who dined about his experience at Sukiyabashi Jiro and made this claim without citing any source. This claim is repeated in many English language writings about Jiro Ono but never seems to be sourced. This Wikipedia article for Sukiyabashi Jiro actually links to Living National Treasures of Japan, which lists 16 categories - none of which is or contains cuisine. And the pages that list actual living national treasures do not include Jiro Ono. In addition, the Japanese Wikipedia page for living national treasures, ja:人間国宝, lists many people but not Jiro Ono. Finally, searching the web for Japanese language articles on Jiro Ono did not turn up any evidence to suggest that the government has recognized him as a living national treasure. In fact, this article explicitly says that he hasn't been recognized by the government as a living national treasure, but should be considered one anyway. So... can anyone cite a real source for this claim? 24.148.137.64 (talk) 03:34, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obama edits[edit]

Seems the Obama visit is getting a lot of press, with a lot of reverts on the website. My opinion is that Obama's visit is noteworthy. If he finished the sushi or not is a side matter. However, if the consensus wants to put that he didn't finish the sushi, this implies that Obama didnt like the meal. In fairness then prime minster Abe's "Obama proclaimed it the "best sushi I’ve ever had in my life" should also be included.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/04/report-obama-didnt-even-finish-jiros-sushi.html

Diplomatic website states: "Dining and Entertainment: An empty plate signals a desire for more food. Leave a little food on your plate when you are finished eating." It is highly likely that Obama was advised of what to do when he sought to stop eating.

Section Blanking[edit]

@SwisterTwister: you section blanked in edit [1] and your explanation was that wikipedia is not a newspaper. A news story about the article subject is likely relevant on the page. WP:STATUSQUO likely applies here. I will revert your edit. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 05:29, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Does Not Correlate with the Article Content[edit]

The article mentioned that the restaurant was delisted from the Michelin Guide...

... due to past issues with international patrons not arriving on time.

Citing the following article: Famed Tokyo sushi restaurant Jiro left dreaming of Michelin stars. I have reviewed the archive of that article at Internet Archive (the original link returned 404 error) and found that the article did not mention any reason why the restaurant had stopped receiving reservations from general public. --Malikussaid (talk) 08:43, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was added with this edit. I will be removing it. Snuish (talk) 05:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
