Synopsis

At Togen Restaurant, the mystery ingredient in the pot stickers has drawn curious patrons—and dangerous consequences. Those who seek the truth often vanish, and when body parts begin washing up on the beach, the police trace the murders back to Togen's seemingly harmless owner. However, the killing of a few inquisitive customers is only the beginning of the shocking secrets hidden within the restaurant's kitchen. The film stars Mihiro, Sakae Yamazaki, Katsuya Naruse, and Yusuke Iwata in a darkly comedic horror story.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
