Takeuchi Yuko was fabulous. 

不愧是我的女神

Independent, sassy, street-smart, vulnerable, hardworking. I love everything about this character and the way it was portrayed.

I like this drama because of the overwhelming food shots. 

Also because I am a huge fan of Takeuchi Yuko. 

The storyline is well-structured, characters well-defined, and I learnt alot about Japanese food in this drama. 

The most outstanding thing about this drama is that the story is centered around this brilliant quote by Johann Wolfgang (who is incidentally my favourite go-to for quotes, most of my favourite quotes are from him), which they translated into Japanese.

涙とともに食べた人でなければ、人生の味はわからない。

Yes, this is one of a better dramas with heart. I can totally relate to this quote. 

Thumbs up. Definitely. 

Verdict: 4/5
