Overview

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.

A review by badelf
Written by badelf on 2023-08-23
Originally based on a manga, this is a collection of 4 one-hour pieces. I'm not sure if you can call this a nature show, a cooking show, or a somewhat older coming-of-age film. The Korean remake of this seemed to me to dwell on the mother-daughter relationship. This original Japanese version is about the dishes that are made from local ingredients that mother taught daughter, about the community, and about living in harmony with all things (except cabbage moths). Is it worth watching. Well, I'm a foodie and I believe harmonious. So yes.
