About the event
Family-style feast with films
14th Annual Christmas Eve at Shalom Japan is built around a family-style holiday feast at Shalom Japan, a Brooklyn restaurant in New York City. The format is the main planning detail: this is presented as a shared restaurant meal, not a standalone film screening or a separate seated talk.
The film component is part of the dining-room setup during the feast. Continuous screenings of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli films run while the meal is served, so the food and films are described together as one holiday event at the restaurant.
What the program centers on
The event description keeps the emphasis narrow: a family-style holiday feast set against the backdrop of Studio Ghibli films. No individual dishes, menu items, film titles, seating format beyond family style, or separate screening schedule are specified here, so the useful takeaway is the combined dinner-and-film structure.
Shalom Japan is also identified as the host restaurant for the dining tradition. Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi are the chef-owners connected to Shalom Japan, which helps identify the restaurant team behind the event without adding unsupported menu or service details.
