Oishii Kankei (1996)

Other name: Delicious Relation, おいしい関係

Description:

"Oishii Kankei" introduces Momoe, a woman accustomed to a life of luxury, whose world crumbles when she loses her wealth, father, and lover. Suddenly destitute and without any work experience, Momoe must find a way to support herself. She nonchalantly applies for a position at La Petit Lapin, a charming French restaurant she fondly remembers for its owner Kansuke and the exquisite consomme soup created by Chef Orita Keiji.

Keiji, a first-rate chef, brings a sophisticated palate and a touch of snobbery, having been rigorously trained at the two-star Grand Bleu in Paris. Despite Momoe's complete lack of culinary background, she is surprisingly taken on as an apprentice. The film then delves into Momoe's challenging journey within the demanding kitchen environment. She must navigate Keiji's high standards, prove her worth, and discover her resilience in a world entirely new to her, making this a compelling tale of self-discovery and culinary passion.
