About this listen

There is a small cafe in Tokyo where something unusual is brewing...

After being dumped by her boyfriend, Momoko finds herself very drunk at a small cafe. Momoko shares the story of her ex-boyfriend with the Manager of the café and the other customers who happened to be there. As she tells her story, she goes into the kitchen of the café, and cooks her ex-boyfriend’s favorite dish, butter chicken curry. Together, they eat the dish and Momoko begins to feel better. Much better.

The owner of the café loves the curry and Momoko’s story and they decide to hold a weekly Ex-Boyfriend’s Favorite Recipe Funeral Committee meeting at the café.
Momoko begins to work at the café, and every Friday night at 10 pm, anybody with a bitter memory of a relationship and a dish associated with it, comes to the café, prepares the dish, shares the story, and together they eat the dish.

Tears are shed, food is eaten, regrets and memories are devoured, thoughts of revenge dissolve. Together the diners purge the sadness and negativity. The pain of the relationship is dead and buried forever.

Part confessional, part group therapy, part recovery, part cookbook.
