A food journey through Japan for less than $20 — without leaving the Valley? Count us in.
Eatrip, a documentary about the connections between food and people in Japan, is coming to The Chef’s Loft in Scottsdale Sept. 29 for two screenings with a reception in between.
Eatrip, the directorial debut of Yuri Nomura, explores the eating culture of Japan from the viewpoints of a Buddhist monk, a soup stock distributor, a self-sufficient homemaker, and a musician/poet.
During the reception, guests can snack on small bites from four different Japanese restaurants – including Sushi Roku – and taste Japanese beer and sake.
