Japan's sushi legend Jiro Ono turns 100 and is not ready for retirement

Quote:

After all these achievements and at the age of 100, he is not ready to fully retire.

“I plan to keep going for about five more years,” Ono said last month as he marked Japan's “Respect for the Aged Day” with a gift and a certificate ahead of his birthday.

What’s the secret of his health? “To work,” Ono replied to the question by Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike, who congratulated him.

“I can no longer come to the restaurant every day ... but even at 100, I try to work if possible. I believe the best medicine is to work.”
