Taste of Home | International Comfort Food

The funds raised from ticket sales will support the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Community Foundation, which, in turn, will contribute to the ongoing efforts of the dedicated LAFD firefighters who safeguard the Los Angeles communities impacted by the wildfires.

Join us for an evening where food becomes a language of cultural expression, as we journey through the soul-warming dishes of Japan, Brazil, and Morocco. This two-part program invites guests to discover the meaning of “comfort food” – those magical dishes that aren’t just meals, but time machines of taste that transport you home with a single bite. Our presenters will share memories and narratives behind each country’s most cherished comfort foods, exploring how these dishes are far more than sustenance – they’re edible memories and cultural touchstones.

The evening begins with vibrant presentations by speakers from Japan, Brazil, and Morocco. Learn the historical background of Brazilian feijoada, how Japanese takoyaki and karaage represent colorful festival nights spent with family, and how Moroccan tagines whisper tales of hospitality and community. Following the talk, guests will be treated to network while indulging in authentic tastes that go far beyond a simple meal – this is a culinary journey that feeds not just the stomach, but the soul.

Under Ninja World Premiere | Screening and Q&A

Ninjas have been sneaking around the world, and they are still active today. Under Ninja opens a curtain on “modern ninja entertainment” that no one has ever seen before!

Join JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles for a special world premiere screening of Under Ninja, the live action adaptation of the popular manga by Kengo Hanazawa. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with its two talented lead actors.

Under Ninja stars Kento Yamazaki, the first Japanese actor to win “The Best from the East Award” at the New York Asian Film Festival in 2024, in the role of the mysterious ninja “Kuro Kumogakure” who is entrusted with a very important “ninja task”. Yamazaki takes on the challenge of a completely new “ninja action” film of the likes that no one has ever seen before!

Ayaka Noguchi, a high school girl who gets caught up in a battle between ninjas, is played by Minami Hamabe, who has become a renowned actress in Japan and beyond through her continuous appearances in high-profile films such as Godzilla Minus One.

Witness ninjas with a variety of skills and other fascinating characters taking over the movie screen in 2025!

NOTE: RSVP does not guarantee entry. Space is limited. Early arrival is recommended. By attending this program, you are entering an area where photography, audio and video recording may occur.
