Nothing goes better with a movie than dinner (and perhaps vise versa), which Chow Bella has all figured out.

Dinner and a Movie pairs all sorts of films with themed recipes each week.Today features Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. The film was inspired by the director's memories and was one the last films he made. Dreams is a unique look into the Japanese landscape and culture, as well as some seriously appetizing cuisine.

Chow Bella paired the film with a miso butter popcorn with black sesame and wasabi peas, udon in a white miso soup with egg and fish cake and a Japanese beer and sake.
