Wataru (Yo Oizumi) lives with his wife Kotoe (Manami Honjou) and his daughter Shiori on a cattle ranch in Setana, Hokkidao. He inherited the cattle ranch from his father and he also runs a cheese workshop. He isn't as a skilled in making cheese and he is scolded often by his strict teacher. Yet, he has a good time with his colleagues including Kanbe (Masaki Okada). Kanbe moved to the area from Tokyo and does sheep farming.

One day, a chef from a famous restaurant in Sapporo arrives and makes a meal with materials from their ranch. The chef gives high praise to the food ingredients. Watau then comes up with an idea. He wants to open a restaurant for only 1 day to let people know about the food ingredients from Setana. They struggle to open the restaurant, but suddenly Otani (Fumiyo Kohinata) collapses.

Russell Zane Jul 11 2020 4:42 pm Enjoyed movie.When will it be released on dvd?

Ann Dec 09 2019 3:34 pm This is my new favorite movie. I laughed and cried. They portrayed a relationship between food, land, people which touched my chefs soul deeply. The movie is deep, quirky and filled with Love. Highly recommend. Am trying to figure out how to find it here in America.

Carla Sep 07 2019 5:47 am I also watched this on our flight home from Hong Ong on SingaporeAir and loved it but didn’t get to see the end... can someone please tell me if it’s available on Apple or Netflix or Prime?? Would love to see it again on TV! It was a great movie just made you feel good.. I was in tears ?. Just a gorgeous movie. Highly recommend.

Leslie Jul 09 2019 8:23 am I watched this twice on my return flights to and from Hokkaido.. And loved it soooo much! Truly touched by the authenticity of farm grown food ingredients and really feel the efforts made to introduce chemical free foods to people. The tender relationships of the farmers and cheese makers really touched me too :) Highly recommended!

Lon Ball Jul 07 2019 9:02 am I saw this film on JAL flight and so happy to have made a good choice. It has deep phliosphical Japanese roots that unexpectedly merge with American alternative agriculture and foodie hip culture. Well, not so surprising because both celebrate a cross-cultural Shintoist- Fukuyama influenced sub-culture. It needs to be shared with the world including the Italian founded Slow Food movement. Cinematography and acting are well accomplished; direction superb.
