Both have the beautiful annotation of death, deep listening, experimental moral, and living life fully no matter what.
Both films focus on the creation of traditional Japanese foods, focusing on being more cinematic rather than documentary style. There are wider stories focusing on family, friendship and the slice-of-life elements. The biggest point of comparison for me, is the indirect focus on intergenerational relationships of family, both in a found family sense and biologically.
Both movies are about making perfect red bean paste. The secret recipe. The hard work. The perfection. Very traditional. Full of heart and sweat
They both went into very detail about cooking red bean. The art of making a perfect red bean. Tradition, cooking from the raw, very beautiful, soft and gentle illustration.
Both movies show you the ritual and tradition sophisticated yet beautiful and simple way of living. Both movies are slow, but beautifully make. It has meaning in life. Heart touching, warm and sweet village vibe
Female centric in cooking. Kindness. Tradition. Food bind people together. Keeping the small business, small town vine. Artsy, slow snd sweet
Serenity. Countryside, traditional cooking. Heart warming friendship. Peaceful. No huzzle. Innovative. Lay back. Reflection
