Director: John Daschbach | 81min
An American filmmaker closely follows a year in the life of UEDA Masamoto, who has run his Tokyo ramen shop, Bizentei, for more than 40 years. UEDA serves his legendary ramen to scores of devoted customers and leads them on seasonal pilgrimages across the Japanese countryside. There, they harvest and share local produce like pears, bamboo shoots, and wild yams. This heartwarming documentary captures the beauty of Japan's landscapes through the seasons, the joy of savoring seasonal delicacies, and UEDA's warm, beloved personality.
