- Synopsis
- Tokyo - January 2015: The world’s number one restaurant, the Copenhagen based NOMA and its renowned chef-owner René Redzepi relocate the restaurant and its entire staff to the Mandarin Ori-ental Tokyo for 5 sold-out weeks of spectacular lunches and dinners with specially created menus.
  
  René Redzepi, who was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time maga-zine, runs one of the planet’s most successful restaurants, but for him to succeed in Japan, he has to put all of that aside and reinvent himself on the other side of the world.
  
  ‘ANTS ON A SHRIMP’ is not only one of the dishes that he created for the Tokyo menu, but is also the name of this food filled documentary that offers a unique look at one of the world’s most well respected, and well known chefs taking on perhaps one of the biggest challenges of his career in creating a 14-course ‘Japanese influenced’ meal in Tokyo, Japan.
