Director Jamal Burger and producer Kevin Krikst will be in attendance at the September 19 screening.

Filmmakers Jamal Burger and Jukan Tateisi offer an intimate look into the world of a Japanese culinary master, capturing the artistry of his kitchen, his humble beginnings in rural Japan and the intensity of his daily routine.

Chef Masaki Saito, Canada’s first Michelin two-star chef, is celebrated for his transformative influence on Toronto’s food scene. Trained in Japan from a young age, and drawn to Toronto from New York City, the 36-year-old culinary visionary has redefined high-end Omakase dining. His bold approach—aging fish to the brink of freshness—reflects the same daring spirit that defines both his cuisine and his way of life.
