Northern Food Story, directed by Tetsuya Uesugi, is a lush, appetite-teasing documentary set in Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido. Over the course of a year and through shifting seasons, it follows four chefs – working in Japanese, French, and high-end sushi traditions – as they collaborate with local farmers and immerse themselves in their communities. It’s a film that celebrates not just food, but place, culture, and the transformation of everyday ingredients into expressions of identity.
