The Disappearing Taste of My Second Home
Coming
30th August, 2025
Overview
The Sanya district of Tokyo is home to those pushed to the margins of society. For over 35 years, Shinpei and Hiroko Ishibashi ran a humble soup shop there. In 2020, large-scale redevelopment began in anticipation of the Tokyo Olympics. The elderly and unemployed were left behind, forgotten amid the city's transformation. Hoping to rebuildcommunity ties, Magokoro Yoshihira, a customer of the soup shop began cleaning the streets alongside the elderly. As Magokoro and the elders made a soup to serve, they begin to realise that what was truly passed down was not a recipe, but the time spent together—remembering, cooking, and reconnecting.
