Join us this summer for the latest edition of Movie &amp; 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.

 <td>THE REALLY BIG SHOE is the Anne Banning Auxiliary of Assistance League of Los Angeles’ third annual comedy fundraiser, and it is unlike any nonprofit event you have ever attended. An evening of roaring laughter, incredible food, a silent auction and a cause that truly matters. Six comedians take the stage at the historic Assistance League Theatre for a night where every laugh makes a real difference. Every dollar raised supports Operation School Bell, the Assistance League of Los Angeles’ signature program providing new shoes, backpacks, clothing, socks, underwear and school essentials to children experiencing homelessness across LA County. Last year THE REALLY BIG SHOE fully funded 10,000 pairs of new shoes, with 100% of proceeds going directly to children, and exceeded its fundraising goal by 60%. This year, we’re raising the bar again. Join us. Bring your friends. Share a few laughs. And help make the next school year possible for thousands of children across Los Angeles. Tickets: $150 at onecau.se/TRBS.</td>
