Synopsis

Inogashira Goro, who runs an imported goods business, travels to different neighborhoods for work. During these trips, he makes solitary visits to various restaurants, encountering indescribable culinary experiences.

This is the second season of the live-action adaptation of the popular manga “Kodoku no Gourmet” (The Solitary Gourmet). Rather than focusing on detailed explanations of cuisine, the story maintains a documentary-like style, chronicling the protagonist’s dining scenes and inner thoughts.

The delicious establishments Goro visits aren’t from the original manga but are real restaurants discovered by the show’s staff through their own research. After each episode, the “Furat QUSUMI” segment features Kusumi Masayuki, the original manga creator. Kusumi actively participates in the show’s production, contributing to both screenplay development and background music.
