Synopsis:
This series chronicles a family's immersive journey through Japan, following journalist Michael Booth and his family – wife Lissen and their young sons – on a 100-day exploration of the country’s culinary landscape. Driven by a desire to understand Japanese cuisine beyond the familiar, the family undertakes a deliberate, almost anthropological approach to dining, sampling regional specialties and traditional dishes. The narrative explores not just the food itself, but also the cultural nuances surrounding mealtime and hospitality. Viewers are presented with a glimpse into daily life in Japan through the lens of a foreign family adapting to new customs and perspectives, offering a thoughtful look at cultural exchange and the power of shared experiences. The anime adopts a gentle pace, prioritizing observational storytelling over high-action, inviting reflection on tradition, family bonds, and the universal appeal of good food.
