EATRIP
For Yuri Nomura, who studied cooking, developed menus for restaurants and writes for culinary magazines, the way to people’s feelings is through their stomachs. This film traces the connection in interviews with people of various occupations and ages. Naoko Morioka, an Okinawa housewife, has no refrigerator in her house and lives a self-sufficient life, growing vegetables for her family to eat. Others questioned on what food means to them include Japanese pop singer UA and German fashion designer Jurgen Lehl. The film surveys methods of cooking, styles of food and drink, a tea ceremony and Japan’s largest fish market in Tokyo.
