520 Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre
convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who
she is said to have seduced with her delicious home
cooking. The case has captured the nation's imagination
but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no
visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a
letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii can't
resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news
office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than
ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely
Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than
journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic
exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she
might be the one changing. With each meal she eats,
something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji
have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the
real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer,
"The Konkatsu Killer", Asako Yuzuki's Butter is a vivid,
unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and
the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan
