Both of them are jdramas with queer leads and story and their relationship happen with food + both are about mature love

Both are LGBTQ+ japanese dramas featuring the meeting of two strangers that make their way towards romance through a love of cooking and food.

Both of these dramas explore LGBTQ+ and society themes without weighing down the overall comfortable atmosphere of the story and leads' dynamic. They very much show how the small, seemingly insignificant to others, comments and actions can have a longstanding impact - both for good and bad.

Both dramas also feature a foodie lead who shows they care through their cooking - and the addition of a new person in their lives brings about new realizations and a larger menu. There's also prominent self-realization and coming out scenes that are really resonating and self-empowering.

Both of these food dramas center around a foodie FL who has made cooking a hobby after long days at work. She finds a lot of respite and joy in the act of cooking, which she immortalizes through photographs of the finished dish before eating.

They also both present an understated vibe and cinematography, some larger themes to ponder should viewers choose to do so, memorable lines, and real life recipes (at the end of the episode for Kitchen for Singles; on the drama's website for Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna).

Two very warm dramas that focus on food and cooking for each other and how food can be a wonderful love language between a couple. Both dramas bring comfort and joy between two people who share a love for food as well as a love for each other. These dramas feel like home.
