Sixty-something Keiko (Kaori Momoi) has been living in a shell since losing her daughter, and then her husband, decades ago. Unable to move on from the past, the modest act of eating, and the sensations it provides, are the only lifeline Keiko has. She reluctantly joins a group of Japanese women traveling to Northern Europe to participate in a kimono show in the fairytale-like art nouveau world of Riga. During the show, Keiko is suddenly confronted by a man who seems to be her long lost husband (Issey Ogata), who went missing in the Kobe earthquake of 1995. Gripped by confusion and despair, Keiko walks through the city and has chance meetings with people who seem drawn to this curious, kimono-clad woman and her culinary sensibility. Food bridges the language and culture gap, and with her husband at her side once again, Keiko gradually realizes how to have a future with the past.
