Members are invited to join us on Saturday 17 January to help us serve up our new season of 1980s Japanese cinema: The Lost Decade.
To celebrate in style, we'll be raising a glass of sake (or sparkling jasmine tea from Saicho) in the Atrium Bar, prior to the screening of Juzo Itami's very nourishing ode to revisionist Westerns, Luis Buñuel, and Jacques Tati: Tampopo. We're also delighted to welcome Professor Jennifer Coates from the University of Sheffield, who will introduce the film.
As we are aware that this particular feature will be quite hunger-inducing, we are partnering up with the wonderful team behind Onigiri KOME, who will be providing their delicious Japanese rice balls to enjoy alongside your drink.
Tickets for the event are £16.50 each, and are limited to members and their +1s. They include a complimentary glass of sake, sparkling jasmine tea, or soft drink, a tasty onigiri, and an unallocated seat for the screening.
Not-included (but recommended), are reservations at the closest ramen shop to sate your inevitable post-film appetite.

16:00 Doors open for mingling with sake & onigiri
17:15 Screen doors open
17:30 Introduction by Jennifer Coates

About Onigiri KOME:
At Onigiri Kome, we handcraft onigiri with the same care and warmth as a homemade bento. We use high-quality Japanese rice and ingredients, rotating rice varieties from different prefectures and freshly milled in London, so you can enjoy the true and fresh flavours of Japanese rice here in London. Each onigiri is shaped by hand using traditional techniques to achieve the ideal balance of taste and texture, offering a comforting and flavourful snack enjoyed any time of day. You can find us at our Izakaya restaurant near London Bridge, as well as at one Onigiri Pop-ups in cafés around London, including partners like Nagare Coffee.
