The Global Rise of Sushi | Talk & Dining with the “Tuna King”
Once an exotic import, sushi has become a fixture in American cuisine—perhaps nowhere more so than in the dining landscape of Los Angeles. How did it become so popular, and what’s next for this beloved dish? Join us at JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles for a delicious afternoon exploring the growth of Japanese food in the U.S.—through the latest market data, the insights of one of Japan’s most celebrated seafood leaders, and a taste of Sushizanmai, one of the newest hotspots of L.A.’s sushi scene.
The program will begin with remarks from Mr. Tsunetoshi Tanaka, Senior Vice President, Head of the Los Angeles Branch of Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas), who will present the latest market trends and insights regarding the growing global appreciation of Japanese cuisine. Drawing on developments across sushi, ramen, and other culinary categories, as well as the increasing popularity of izakaya-style dining, he will present how Japanese food culture continues to expand its presence and influence in the United States and international markets.
The centerpiece is a special conversation with Mr. Kiyoshi Kimura, Japan’s charismatic “Tuna King” and the founder of Sushizanmai, a restaurant chain born in Tokyo’s renowned Tsukiji market and now global, with its first U.S. location opened in Los Angeles in 2025. As head of Kiyomura Corporation, Kimura is a leading figure in the sushi and seafood industry, known for his entrepreneurship and culinary craft, as well as his legendary appearances at Japan’s prestigious New Year tuna auctions. Between 2012 and 2020, Kimura secured the highest winning bid eight times, and in January 2026, once again made international headlines by purchasing a bluefin tuna for approximately ¥510.3 million (roughly 3.25 million USD)—setting a new auction record, officially recognized by Guinness World Records.
In this colorful dialogue, Kimura will share his personal history, how he made his business as successful as it is today, his vision and commitment, firsthand perspective on bringing authentic Japanese sushi and seafood to American and global diners, the evolving tastes of U.S. consumers, and the opportunities—and challenges—of taking Japanese food culture global. From Japan’s famed tuna auctions to Sushizanmai’s new home in Los Angeles, Kimura will offer a fascinating window into the business and culture of sushi, and the deep passion for seafood that drives it.
The program concludes with a dining experience catered by Sushizanmai LA, where participants can enjoy a variety of sushi from the acclaimed restaurant. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from a sushi icon, and taste for yourself how Japanese cuisine continues to travel and evolve.

Movie & Bites | “The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House”
Join us this summer for the latest edition of Movie & Bites, our popular event series celebrating the connection between Japanese food, film, and storytelling. Families and friends are invited to enjoy two episodes from Netflix’s “The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House” by acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda, followed by a talk and onigiri tasting experience by the show’s food stylist Nami Iijima.
The series “The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House” traces the charming adventures of two friends who move to Kyoto to pursue their dreams through culture, community and food. It introduces the concept of makanai, the Japanese term for meals prepared by and for restaurant staff; traditionally simple, nourishing dishes made with seasonal or surplus ingredients and shared by the team before service. Rooted in hospitality and resourcefulness, they reflect the spirit of care that defines Japanese food culture, and the themes of the heartwarming series itself.
Makanai meals are often unpretentious comfort foods, such as onigiri (Japanese rice balls), a beloved symbol of Japanese home cooking and childhood memories. Made with simple ingredients—rice, salt, a filling, and sometimes nori (seaweed)—onigiri reflect the Japanese appreciation for high quality and seasonal ingredients even in the most humble everyday dishes.
Following the screening, renowned food stylist Nami Iijima, the creative force behind the culinary scenes in the series, will share her insights into the art of storytelling through food. She will explore how meals convey emotion, reveal character, and enrich the worlds created on screen, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the craft behind these unforgettable (and mouthwatering) culinary moments.
As part of Iijima’s fireside chat, guests will enjoy handcrafted onigiri prepared by Nami Iijima herself—the same rice balls she has long shared as a beloved makanai meal on her film and television sets. This August, join us to experience the flavors behind the screen, and get inspired to channel the spirit of makanai in your own cooking.

The Ultraman Phenomenon | Celebrating 60 Years of a Heroic Legacy
Since its debut in 1966, Ultraman has evolved from a groundbreaking Japanese television series into a global cultural icon whose influence has shaped generations of filmmakers, animators, and creators worldwide. Created by Eiji Tsuburaya (founder of Tsuburaya Productions, VES Hall of Fame inducted director/filmmaker known as the “Father of Tokusatsu”), the wildly popular series followed the adventures of superhero Ultraman and pioneered the genre of tokusatsu (“special effects”), the live-action effects-driven entertainment that would go on to define sci-fi and fantasy for decades. Countless creators from filmmaker Guillermo del Toro to video game designer Hideo Kojima have found inspiration in Ultraman’s innovative craft, powerful storytelling and sheer visual creativity. As the franchise celebrates its 60th anniversary, Ultraman continues to serve as a wellspring of imagination for not only fans, but also the next generation of international creators across film, television, animation, and gaming.
Join us for the 60th anniversary celebration this July at JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles with special episode screenings, a feature documentary, and an exclusive filmmakers’ panel honoring Ultraman’s far-reaching legacy.

Manga 101 | Create Your Own Character
As global excitement for anime and manga continues to surge and fuel the passionate international fan culture reshaping storytelling and sharing worldwide, JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles welcomes professional manga artist Kazuo Maekawa for an interactive, hands-on workshop at JAPAN HOUSE and also at Anime Expo. Known for his work on the Ace Attorney series, Maekawa’s special sessions will offer a rare opportunity to learn directly from a working manga creator.
In this engaging workshop, attendees will be given professional insight into the core principles of manga creation, explore character design, expressive facial storytelling, panel composition, pacing, and the techniques artists use to guide readers through emotion, action, and timing. Participants will also gain valuable context for the cultural roots of manga in Japan and the evolution of its storytelling methods alongside the global rise of anime and animation.
A key focus of the session is the creation of a 4-panel comic, known as a “yonkoma.” A yonkoma is a classic Japanese comic format made up of four sequential panels, typically arranged vertically, designed to deliver a complete story in a compact and highly structured form. Each panel plays a specific narrative role from setup, development, twist, and punchline, creating a concise storytelling rhythm that is both efficient and impactful. While often comedic, yonkoma is also widely used for slice-of-life moments, character-driven storytelling, and emotional beats.
Under expert guidance, participants will create their own original yonkoma comic from concept to completion, learning how to transform ideas into clear, compelling visual narratives within a limited space. Whether you’re a beginner, an aspiring illustrator, or a lifelong anime and manga fan, this workshop offers a rare chance to practice authentic industry techniques while joining a global celebration of anime and manga culture.
Beyond Sushi | The Story of Washoku in LA
In celebration of the new exhibition, “WASHOKU | Nature and Culture in Japanese Cuisine,” explore how Los Angeles has helped shape Japanese cuisine’s rise as a global culinary phenomenon.
Washoku, Japan’s traditional food culture, is rooted in seasonality, balance, and respect for nature. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, it reflects both culinary practice and cultural identity while continuing to evolve through global exchange.
Los Angeles has played a central role in that evolution since the 1960s, when the California Roll helped introduce Japanese cuisine to a broader American audience. Today, California is home to roughly 20% of all Japanese restaurants in the United States, and Los Angeles remains a hub for culinary innovation. Japanese food culture is woven into the region’s dining landscape, from pioneering institutions like Katsu-ya to Studio City’s famed “Sushi Row” along Ventura Boulevard, home to more than 100 sushi restaurants. The city’s influence continues to shape contemporary food trends, from sustainable sourcing and plant-based cuisine to the mainstream popularity of matcha and Japanese-style sandos (sandwiches), once everyday staples of Japan’s konbini (convenience stores).
The Experience
The program begins with a screening of Beyond Sushi, a documentary tracing the global journey of Japanese cuisine and California’s role in its evolution.
