That is a partner or a lover that can accompany him throughout the years. Before he met Nagano Kaede (Natsukawa Yui) 夏川結衣, he spend most of his time party with the youngsters and singing in Karaoke. After meet up with Nagano Kaede (Natsukawa Yui) 夏川結衣, he began to fall in love with her. It’s not easy for Tachiki Shogo (Sakai Masaaki) 堺正章 to pursuit his love as there are lots of barriers that he needs to get through. Couple of things ahead is the big age gap and a young handsome guy that might be Nagano Kaede (Natsukawa Yui) 夏川結衣 boy friend.

Feelings and comments:
Age is not a problem when it comes to love. That’s not entirely true, especially when you have a big age gap. The sentence should be written this way “Age will have a lot of problems when it comes to love, but all can be solve”. When couple has a large age gap, there are things that need to be considered. Things like being same age with the father of the bride or maybe older and the ability of having children are among some of the issue that need to be discuss. Most importantly the thoughts and goals are different at different age. Still it is possible for love to fit in, just need to tune it right.
Honestly the main cast of this drama did not attract me at all. Even so I’m pretty amaze by the passion of actor (Sakai Masaaki) 堺正章. He doesn’t really looks like a 60 year old man.

Things that caught my eyes:
Lots of guest stars including Sakaguchi Kenji (坂口憲二).

Japan Drama Rating:
Watch it if you like love story. It’s a big age gap love story with no famous cast. Not much interesting stuff to keep on watching it.

Japan Drama Story:
Handa Sen (Aoi Yu) 蒼井優is the owner of a Japanese restaurant that serves Japanese dishes traditional way. Preserving the original taste has always been the main goal of this restaurant. Even as the owner of the famous Japanese restaurant, Handa Sen (Aoi Yu) 蒼井優 is still a 20 year old girl. She loves to drink a lot but when it comes to cooking she is still the best. The present of Handa Sen (Aoi Yu) 蒼井優 makes this famous Japanese restaurant special. Then came Ezaki Yoshio (Uchi Hiroki) 内博貴 who wanted to learn to become a chef. As he starts working in the restaurant, he learns more than just cooking.

Feelings and comments:
It’s difficult to get a taste of handmade traditional food nowadays. No doubt that preparing food traditional way does taste better and healthy. The problem is that it takes a lot of time and effort just to prepare a meal. If you’re living in a city, you don’t have that much time for cooking. That is why most of us that live and stay in city are mostly customers of fast food. Some of us don’t even have time to slow down and get a taste of what we’re eating. All we can think of is eat to work.
There is a time for me that I have ketchup for almost all my meals. No matter what I’m having for lunch or dinner, I just need to add some ketchup. I never really know how to taste the food until a friend point this out. After that I learned that even if I’m having same dishes every day, it might taste differently. That’s when I started to taste the original flavor of the food.
This drama really makes me have a delicious Japanese meal with my eyes. The food and dishes presented are no doubt nicely presented.

Things that caught my eyes:
The food and dishes presented is enough to capture the attention. I did pick up some tips for preparing some Japanese food.

Japan Drama Rating:
Nice to watch. It’s a delicious drama that shows variety of Japanese food.
