If you loved Il sapore del riso al tè verde, try Il gusto del sakè
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Il sapore del riso al tè verde, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il gusto del sakè is
A widower’s daughter handles the house while he pines for her future. When he finally pushes her to leave home instead of anchoring him he starts to understand the cost of his selfishness. A melancholy snapshot of 1960s Tokyo that moves like a slow sigh.
