Most of the island’s inhabitants are oblivious to these changes\, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police\, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten. \nWhen a young woman who is struggling to maintain her career as a novelist discovers that her editor is in danger from the Memory Police\, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards. As fear and loss close in around them\, they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past. \nA surreal\, provocative fable about the power of memory and the trauma of loss\, The Memory Police is a stunning new work from one of the most exciting contemporary authors writing in any language.

Find out in this third part of our Healthy Hakko series\, where we talk to Sandor Katz\, fermentation revivalist and Shiori Kajiwara\, Koji consultant. The discussion touches on the many ways fermentation connects people to their food\, their health\, to each other and to the land as well as how their journey with fermentation began. The talk is also in conjunction with the documentary’s Katsuo-Bushi and Fermented  where you can get a taste of the deep culinary traditions surrounding fermentation from Japan\, many of which continue to be enjoyed today.  The talk is moderated by Program Officer Nobi Nakamura. \n\nThis talk is a pre-recorded event. Register below to receive a private link to view the talk during the event dates\n\n\n \nSandor Ellix Katz is a fermentation revivalist. His books Wild Fermentation and The Art of Fermentation\, along with the hundreds of fermentation workshops he has taught around the world\, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts. A self-taught experimentalist who lives in rural Tennessee\, the New York Times calls him “one of the unlikely rock stars of the American food scene.” \nSandor’s interest in fermentation grew out of an overlapping interests in cooking\, nutrition and gardening. He has explored and experimented widely in the realm of fermentation\, and his mission is to share information and resources\, in order to encourage home fermentation experimentalists and propel more live-culture foods out into our culture. \nSince 2003\, when his book Wild Fermentation was published\, he has taught hundreds of workshops demystifying fermentation and empowering people to reclaim this important transformational process in their kitchens. His latest book\, The Art of Fermentation (2012)\, received a James Beard award and was a finalist at the International Association of Culinary Professionals. He has presented workshops across the U.S.\, as well as Mexico\, Canada\, Argentina\, Brazil\, Costa Rica\, Colombia\, Ecuador\, Belgium\, Denmark\, England\, Greece\, Ireland\, Italy\, Netherlands\, Northern Ireland\, Norway\, Poland\, Scotland\, Sweden\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Indonesia\, India\, Hong Kong\, and Japan. Venues have included universities\, museums\, libraries\, farms\, farmers’ markets\, conferences\, bookstores\, festivals\, and community spaces. \nFor more information\, check out his website www.wildfermentation.com \n  \n\n \nShiori Kajiwara lives in Toronto\, Canada\, and hails from Fukuoka\, Japan. Shiori is a certified Koji Specialist and also a registered Acupuncturist in Canada. \nAs a mother of 3 boys\, she Immigrated to Canada with her family over 10 years ago and has made Toronto her home. \nShe has been organizing workshops regularly at the ‘Hidamari Club’\, a family friendly mom’s group since 2009. Their goal is to develop a place where Japanese families help each other and aim to be a place where moms shine by sharing their knowledge while raising their children. Part of the club activities include vegetarian cooking classes\, miso and koji related classes. Being an acupuncturist\, and a certified Koji Specialist\, these two fields don’t seem related\, but they are inseparable. She would like to work on a more holistic approach not just the parts of a philosophy behind Japanese acupuncture and koji.

Through profiles of kimchi\, kombucha\, miso and pickles we begin to understand that it isn’t just the process\, but the results that keep us wanting more. Fermented looks at how a tradition can give rise to a contemporary trend\, and helps us realize the culture and history of fermentation is in all of us\, even in our modern era of refrigeration and canning\, where food is in abundance. Complimenting this film\, is the talk with Sandor Katz\, fermentation revivalist and Koji specialist Shiori Kajiwara\, as well as the other short documentary Katsuo-Bushi by Yu Nakajima. \n\nThis documentary will be screened online in Canada only.

In the feature-length documentary FERMENTED\, author and chef Edward Lee goes on a journey to better understand how the ancient process of\nfermentation is used in modern times by visiting artisans and chefs around the world. Chef Lee is joined by an all-star cast of characters\, including chefs Stuart Brioza and Dominique Crenn\, bread mastermind Chad Robertson\, craft brewing leader Nick Floyd\, and fermentation guru Sandor Katz\, to talk\, share ideas\, and cook with fermentation in mind. (Don’t miss a chance to hear Sandor Katz and Shiori Kajiwara talk about Japanese ferments) \nEdward travels across the Pacific Ocean to the Japanese countryside to meet with artisans who maintain traditional methods of making soy sauce and miso. The originals\, time capsules\, profiles of fermentation in it’s most unaltered and ageless form. As we meet these craftspeople and watch them work a timeless trade we begin to understand the risk they face. The processes they’ve kept alive for ages could disappear in future generations as technology and scale become paramount. The risk of the commoditized cannibalizing the crafted. As Chef Lee’s exploration of the world of fermentation comes to a close\, we are left with the question of if the world is\nat risk of losing the old ways for the new\, and if that happens\, what would it mean for the future? \nCopyright 2017 / ZERO POINT ZERO PRODUCTION \nThe Japan Foundation\, Toronto would like to thank director Jonathan Cianfrani for his generous support for the virtual film screening of his film. \n  \nTrailer here > \n \nABOUT THE HOST\nCHEF EDWARD LEE (Host & Writer) is a Brooklyn-born chef and restaurateur based in Louisville\, Kentucky.

Deceptively simple\, master chefs have jealously guarded its secrets for centuries. Its development came about as a result of a historical event that triggered a “food revolution”: Buddhism arrived in Japan 1500 years ago\, prohibiting the consumption of meat.
