Bonus Scene: Mahoroba Japanese Bakery

Owner-baker Naruske Monguchi and translator Benjamin Winterton consider how to translate and explain what “Mahoroba” means in English.

    Bakeries are full of wonderful things: smells, sweet possibilities, friendly bakers who sometimes wait on you.

We celebrate all this oven-baked artistry in this hour-long documentary.
