Krystal Chang Dec 28 2016 8:24 am I visited Kobe for two weeks in April 2015. I spotted the movie by chance during the returning flight from Osaka to Hong Kong. I was excited to recognize the locations in Kobe where the film was shot! I appreciated how the appear-to-be simple but yet intriguing story was unfolded by the director!!

CPAust Aug 24 2015 4:39 pm I watched this movie on the flight from Seattle to Hong Kong and again on the way back. LOVE IT! Beautifully made and I too want to purchase a copy. Just wish I could find it listed somewhere. I even have my Japanese Cheesecake recipe ready to make so I can enjoy it with Ichie!
