R: Seeking Suggestions on Food-Related Films

[Isabella Lapalorcia]

Dear Joshua,
I would suggest you Kamome Shokudo (Kamome Diner, 2005) by Naoko Ogigami.
It is about a japanese woman who decides to open a little onigiri restaurant
in Helsinki.
Best wishes,

Isabella Lapalorcia

    My name is Josh Schlachet, and I am currently a student in the
University of Michigan's Center for Japanese Studies. I do not have a
significant background in Japanese film (my field is Japanese history), but
I am currently preparing a paper on food and film for a Japanese cinema
class that I am taking this semester. I was hoping that someone might have
some suggestions on Japanese films (other than Tampopo) that focus on or
prominently feature themes and/or scenes related to food and eating. If you
have any such films (or exceptional articles on the same topic) in mind, I
would greatly appreciate all of your expert advice. I would prefer films
that I could likely find with subtitles, but I do speak some Japanese in
case that is not an option. Thank you very much for your help, and I look
forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely,
