Greetings! 

 

Here's a quick note to alert you about an excellent and important film showing this week only in Seattle.

Sushi: The Global Catch - Trailer
Sushi: The Global Catch - Trailer

For many, sushi is the most iconic Japanese cultural export and the epitome of the country's cuisine. And yet, with wild fish stocks coming under increasing commercial pressures, what does the future hold for your favorite sushi bar? In his feature film debut, documentarian Mark Hall explores the history, future, and problems of this popular cuisine. From its humble beginnings as simple street food, sushi has exploded into an international phenomenon in just over 30 years, with restaurants cropping up in even the smallest towns worldwide. Meticulous in its examination,

Sushi: The Global Catch is a fascinating investigation into the cultural and economic impacts of this iconic cuisine.

that sets Ki apart from most sushi restaurants in the Bay Area. It's the sushi itself.  

 

As in no salmon, no yellowtail, no eel.

   

Ki's sushi menu is purposely devoid of these popular sushi items, a sign of its commitment to serving only sustainable seafood. Read more...
