A 60 year old retired salary-man finds new purpose in exploring the food of his neighborhood. Aided by his fantasy companion, a samurai who inspires him to boldly experience this new chapter of his life.
The show is pretty simple, and its worth is exactly the highlights it gives to ordinary stuff of life. The attention to the details, the beautiful looks on the food, and the smoothness of the story sustain this great show. Don't expect the episodes to be full of drama and extraordinary stuff. This is just a charming, sometimes comic and, above all, very light and buoyant series.
