Every morning Jiro wakes at 4AM
And heads to his restaurant in Ginza
His kitchen is a blank canvas
For which he paints his culinary art
Sliced sashimi bursting with sunrise colours
Dipped in the sea green of maki
Temaki rolled with precision
Splashes of nigiri inked into the easel
Completing the masterpiece
For the daily rush hour
Served with pride
