Cha no aji is a great Japanese film. In trying to answer a friend's question "What does it resemble?", All I thought of was "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" and Haruki Murakami's two superb and fantastic works: "Super frog saves Tokyo" short story and his novel "Dance, dance, dance".
This film is more about sensations rather than following a plot. And what makes it so interesting and powerful is that the exploring of those sensations have to do more with the viewer's than with those shown by the characters.
Original, imaginative, funny, silent, and insightful. As the title suggests, you may as well try to watch it enjoying the taste of tea.
