Eating Women

Tonko Mochizuki is the owner of a second-hand Tokyo bookstore “Mochi no Ie” and also an essayist. Her customers include eight women each troubled in her own way; each trying to manage life in the big city, careers, dating, expectations and materialism. Through sharing delicious meals together with Tonko, these women find the answers to their questions and move ahead with their lives.

Mixing drama and comedy Taberu Onna is a celebration of female friendship and fine food based on Tomomi Tsutsui’s best-selling novels.
