A sensual and mysterious tale of women and their relationships to men, women, and themselves. 

Highly unusual and highly enjoyable, Butter gives an intimate insight into Japanese beauty culture and gender roles. 

If you like a story that investigates what makes people and cultures tick, dig in. You’ll find a delicious and fascinating story in Butter. 

Now don’t mind me, I’m going to make rice with soy sauce and golden goodness 😉
