Buy Tickets Now — Jiro Dreams of Sushi followed by a Sushi & Sake Spectacular

Westport Cinema Initiative presents Jiro Dreams of Sushi  at the Westport Town Hall Auditorium followed by a Sushi Spectacular at the Westport Historical Society on Sunday Oct 28th at 4pm as part of Downtown Westport Foodie Fest.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a delightful 2011 Japanese documentary film directed by David Gelb. The film follows Jiro Ono, an 85 year-old sushi master and owner of Michelin 3-Star restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro, on his continuing quest to perfect the art of sushi. The film also profiles Jiro’s two sons, both of whom are also sushi chefs. The younger son, Takashi, having no opportunity to succeed his father, left to open a restaurant in Roppongi Hills, essentially identical to the one Jiro built. The elder son, Yoshikauzu, still works for Jiro and is faced with the prospect of one day taking over the flagship restaurant. The film is entertaining for all foodies whether you are a sushi fanatic or not.

Following the screening, The Westport Historical Society will host a Sushi Spectacular with a selection of sushi and sake provided by Matsu Sushi.

Tickets for the film alone are $10.
Tickets for the film and the Sushi Spectacular are $30.

All tickets are available at the door or ONLINE.
