Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anime fans and food lovers, this one's for you. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it. Sits nicely alongside Sweet Bean or Shoplifters. Don't watch it hungry.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 17 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In the small Komori village, Ichiko unexpectedly returns from the city and begins a self-sufficient life. From sweet rice drinks on hot summer days to autumn braises, winter dumpling soups, and spring potato salads, she cooks daily with homegrown crops and vegetables. Through these meals, memories of her mother and long-forgotten times resurface.
