Handa Sen is the "okami" (proprietress) of a long-standing restaurant in one of the lower parts of Tokyo. Though she is normally airheaded and loves to drink, she has an impressive mastery of a wide range skills, from cooking to ceramics to calligraphy. While the drama follows various events surrounding the restaurant, one of the series' highlights is its illustration of Japanese food and culture. --Tokyograph Edit Translation

I like this simple drama though I know it could've done better especially with its ending. I love how they presented Japanese culture through food. I also love the actors and their acting especially the female lead. The drama is a light-hearted one if you want to take a break from serious dramas and if you want to feel much closer to Japanese culture, I would recommend this. I also love the music especially the opening theme. I would watch it if I'm in for a Japanese touch. Overall, it's a simple Japanese drama that would touch your inner Nihonjin especially your stomach whose in for Japanese cuisine and for a funny entertaining treat.

I totally loved the whole concept of preserving the tradition without giving in to the times, and I also really appreciated the photography and Aoi Yu's performance (and cuteness!). But apart from that, I have to confess that I found everything else in this dorama just so-and-so, particularly the over-the-top, shounen-manga vibe which exudes from most scenes. Too bad, as far as I'm concerned; had it had a more adult, deeper script, I would have liked it much more. As is, I can't helo but feeling it's somehow a missed opportunity.
