One of my favorite foodie shows is SEKKAKU GOURMET. Our local JTV cable station began airing it as a replacement in late 2022 for an Ariyoshi program that got too expensive. I was super disappointed but began to appreciate the Bananaman duo and actually looked forward to this new program more cause it focused on the food pr0n more.
I figured the Bananaman show would last for years but alas, its collection of frequent A-list guests might be too pricey as well. And they're only showing episodes from 2021-2022 -- the shelf life should allow for a discount, for crissakes!
Because of this I began getting the latest episodes from the intarwebs. The New Years SP in particular was fantastic. Lookit what Himura had in Beppu:
That filet steak platter is 9000円!
Jumbo tendon!
And it's not just Himura: There are other peeps who have to pimp their drama specials, like Ayase Haruka and her boy toys, Takenouchi and Sato Takeru.
This is a really silly humongous pork entree that they were able to split together.
Anyway, Sekkaku Gourmet is THE GREATEST. Your stomach will NOT thank you for watching!
Poor Shitara.
