A spell of time in the life of the five-piece Haruno family in rural Tochigi Prefecture. Yoshiko is not an ordinary housewife, instead working on an animated film project. Uncle Ayano, a successful music producer, is looking to get his head together after living in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Sachiko is concerned with why she seems to be followed by a giant version of herself. As the lazy days pass by, each member of the family is followed in a series of episodic vignettes.
The Taste of Tea is a 2004 Japanese comedy-drama film that blends magical realism with everyday family life in rural Tochigi Prefecture. Directed by Ishizaka Isshin, the film follows the quirky Haruno family through a series of whimsical episodes, including a housewife animating a film project and a young girl shadowed by her own giant double. This surreal yet intimate portrait of rural life has been available since its theatrical release in July 2004.
