"KAMOME SHOKUDO" is the title of a movie which is now showing at the theater in Japan. KAMOME SHOKUDO means Seagal Diner. The story is that a woman named Sachie opens her diner in Finland. Two more Japanese women join her and the diner came to be popular. No special thing happens but the movie is heartwarming. Therefore the movie is popular among Japanese women now.
I watched the movie yesterday. When I read the original novel before I watched a movie, I thought that maybe the movie would be less interesting. However, this time I wasn't bored despite I had read the story. The movie is also interesting.
First, the actresses were unique and some jokes were funny. Maybe such jokes can be undestood by foreign people too, because the jokes are acted with mime. Another point is we can feel the relaxing atmosphere of the Finnish culture from the scenery and the act of the Finnish actors and actresses. The most good example is the Finnish forest. The forest is beautiful and mysterious as if a fairy came out. It seems to have a power to heal the human's heart. The last but not least, the foods are good spices of this movie! If you watch it, you will be eager to try some Japanes foods. Some Japanese foods which were introduced in the movie were the foods we usually eat in our home.
The movie is just showing only in Japan. I hope it will be translated to English and everybody can watch it. Oh, I remember that there is the movie's homepage written in English!

I regret that I didn't eat in Wagamama when I went to England. We should explain Miso soup sometime because many foreign people misunderstand the soup. When I went to Hawaii, I drank Miso soup in Hotel. There are steamed fish sausages(RED KAMABOKO) in the soup. Though there are many immigrants from Japan, Hawaiian people also misunderstand the soup.
Anyway, we also misunderstand the culture of other countries. Even if we think about just foods, we can't clasify Asian foods clearly. Maybe there are many types of curry in Asia, but we just remind India when we talk about the curry.
I want to introduce our culture and know the culture of other countries, just because it's interesting!
