Two men grieved for a love lost or not given, which led to the tendency to build-up walls that isolate them either from other people or from the vulnerability evoked by emotions. Until they found possibilities with each other. Being nudged by the vivacious toddler Tane, Minoru & Yutaka stepped away from the shadows that clouded over them to welcome & savour joy.

Hopeful & touching in a subtly eloquent manner, Our Dining Table asked us to embrace our fears, highlighting how one can find comfort & companionship through our love for foods. 

You'd find yourselves grinning at their antics, or moved to tears only to be comforted, all the while be reminded how foods in itself can be a language of love.
