56-nenme no Shitsuren (2020)

Other name: 56年目の失恋, 56-nen-me no Shitsuren, Broken Heart of The 56th Year

Description:

In 2020 Tokyo, Nakagawa Saori, a gifted chef apprentice at a prestigious French restaurant, grapples with a profound lack of self-worth despite her culinary contest victories. Spending her days washing dishes, her passion for cooking wanes. Unexpectedly, Saori is transported back to Tokyo in 1964. There, she encounters Kikuchi Ryuichi, a dedicated cook at a humble western restaurant. Ryuichi, working with limited ingredients and simple tools, embodies a pure dedication that inspires Saori. Through his mentorship, she uncovers the true meaning of cooking and what she lacks. This journey not only rekindles her culinary spirit but also unravels the origins of a deep, emotional emptiness — a personal "heartbreak" whose 56-year legacy has subtly shaped her life and culinary path.
