umami
A play in five recipes that will leave you both hungry and nourished.
A Mother in Japan and a Daughter in San Francisco meet every week on Zoom to cook their family recipes and eat them together. Their relationship evolves with food as the point of connection. Food as a representation of love, culture, history, and memory. Food as a reminder of where you are from.
