    Sweet love story

    The romantic way our two protagonists meet each other is a bit fairy tale like, but it's a quite original story without many of the usual cheesy rom-com clichés. If you like food and cooking it's a plus since that plays a central role. Overall it's a nice, wholesome and enjoyable feel-good movie.

    I like the story and Takanori Iwata's performance is awesome.
