Ichiko lives in Komori, a tiny village in Tohoku, North-Eastern Japan. After moving out to the city where she felt completely lost, Ichiko has now returned to her hometown. With no supermarkets or convenience stores nearby, living in Komori is like living off the land. She grows her own rice, farms, and cooks meals out of seasonal foods gathered from the neighbouring mountains and fields. In summer, malted rice cocktails. In autumn, steamed rice flavoured with mountain walnuts. In winter, warm country stews. In spring, gently fry-mixed miso with butterbur. Nature is a provider, but it can also be harsh. In the stillness of time, Ichiko rediscovers herself and recharges strength by eating delicious natural foods to keep moving forward.
