    fairly decent

    I love the post. Generd make a convincing chef. Last time I remember It's in Last vacation.

    It really makes me want to visit Japan, especiallly Hokkaido in winter. Who doesn't want to enjoy a hot ramen after a freezing cold day skiing. Althrough it's early summer where I am, I find a Japanese restaraunt to have some ramen half my way watching this movie.

    The starting in France giving background information about main character's life is a bit long and boring to my like. I hope it can focus more in his journey in Hokkaido. Not only the people, but also the food. It can be a very intersting story but turns out to be abit cliche.
