Very well-written article explaining Japan’s relationship between food and drama. I learned so much and I am really excited about Wagashi now!

It’s like the perfect combination of food drama and cooking show.

I loved how it ended each episode by revisiting the focus food with a little tip on its preparation. Good introduction to Japanese comfort food too. I’ve picked up the first manga recently and look forward to reading it.

There’s a restaurant I go to that always has it playing on its TV. I think it has like years of recordings of it. In one I saw recently, the special ingredient was a small-batch okonomiyaki sauce, and they went to the company to see how it was made. One time they went to visit special chickens for their eggs. It’s totally great.
