Food Jdramas

What I love about Japanese dramas are their ability to make a story relatable but interesting, such as those based around FOOD. So here's a list of my recommended food Jdramas for anyone new to this genre and don't know where to start.

P.s. I'm always on the hunt for more food jdramas so recommend me (old or new) ones not on the list that I should check out. Thanks!

Despite not having too much focus on the food, this drama has that nostalgic feeling to it that touches on the life story of each character who dines at the 'Midnight DIner'
