Come Back Any Time
Japan, 2021, Documentary
(English Subtitles)
Run time: 89 mins, Rated G
Ramen master, Masamoto Ueda and his wife, Kazuko have run their tiny Tokyo ramen shop, Bizentei for more than 40 years. During that time, many now-devoted customers have joined them in creating an intimate cornerstone of the community.
On the weekends, Masamoto and Kazuko venture together across the lush Japanese countryside. Their ongoing mission is to harvest gourmet pears, dig up bamboo shoots and wild mountain yams as ingredients for their dishes.
Sadly, Masamoto knows he must retire someday. Using early footage and archival records, this documentary captures Masamoto's early life when starting the business, his passion for cooking and his loyalty and love for his customers.
One of the sweetest and most enjoyable films of the year. It will restore your faith in humanity. Graeme Tuckett - Stuff.co.nz

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
