    About the event

    Family-style feast with Studio Ghibli films

    The event is built around a family-style holiday feast, with Studio Ghibli films playing in the background. The food format and the film element are part of the same holiday event, so the key program details are the shared meal and the Studio Ghibli backdrop rather than a separately listed screening lineup.

    The films are identified as Studio Ghibli films by Hayao Miyazaki. No individual film titles are listed, so the most useful way to read the format is as a holiday feast paired with background screenings from that body of work, without assuming a specific running order.

    Shalom Japan and the people behind it

    Shalom Japan is the host venue and is identified as a restaurant in New York City. The address places it at 310 S 4th St rear, Brooklyn, NY 11211, making the Brooklyn location part of the practical planning information for the event.

    The restaurant is led by husband-and-wife chef-owners Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi. Their roles connect the event to the restaurant’s leadership, and they are the named people associated with Shalom Japan for this holiday feast.

    Christmas Day timing

    The event takes place on Christmas Day, with the available timing running from late morning through evening Eastern time. That timing frames it as a Christmas Day restaurant event rather than a multi-day program, with the listed end falling later the same day in local time.
