YURIE (2026)

It’s been three years since Joji Uehara inherited his late father’s restaurant, “Yurie,” yet despite his undeniable talent in the kitchen, the business keeps fading. That changes when Kim Joo-ri, a South Korean visitor on a quest to master Japanese cooking, stumbles into the eatery by chance. At first, their clashing worldviews spark tension, but as they join forces to breathe new life into the struggling establishment, a deep bond forms. Inspired by Kim’s delightfully unorthodox outlook, those around her start shedding their stiff routines and embracing a freer way of living.
