Ants on a Shrimp is a 2016 documentary film directed by Maurice Dekkers about chef René Redzepi's journey to create a temporary restaurant in Tokyo.
The team only had one month to get ready for the five week event in Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo. During this, they create a 14-course menu from local ingredients. Redzepi himself only arrives in Japan 15 days before opening to see what his team has come up with.
Reception
Eater said "To see this in action isn’t quite as good as eating at Noma, but it’s the closest we’ll probably ever get."
