Japanese Trailer for 'The Zen Diary' About Buddhist Vegetarian Cuisine

"Food tastes the best when eaten together." Enjoy this lovely trailer for an indie Japanese film called The Zen Diary, a humble drama about a man who loves to cook. It's getting released in Canada this summer after first opening in Japan last year. Tsutomu lives alone in the mountains in a cabin in Nagano, writing essays & cooking food with fruits & vegetables he grows and mushrooms he picks in the hills. His routine is happily disturbed when Machiko, his editor/love interest, occasionally visits. She loves to eat, and he loves to cook for her. They cook with seasonal ingredients & eat together. They have a good time. Tsutomu seems to be enjoying an easygoing life, but he is still unable to bury his dead wife's ashes in a grave. His wife died 13 years ago... Starring Kenji Sawada and Takako Matsu. Adapted from Tsutomu Mizukami's book, this gentle, thoughtful film considers the importance of aligning one’s life with the natural world's flavors and rhythms. Featuring cooking by Yoshiharu Doi. This trailer has English subtitles and a glimpse at some of the delectable food that they enjoy. As a huge fan of Japanese food, I have to watch this as soon as possible. // Continue Reading ›
