A Table!: Rekishi no Recipe wo Tsukutte Taberu

Synopsis

Tells the story of Fujita Jun and her husband Yoshio, who both live in a laid-back rural area a twenty minute walk from Kichijoji. They have been married for fifteen years, and are residing in the home of a relative who is living overseas. Jun is working as a clerk in a university department, while Yoshio had been living in Nagano for three years but recently moved back and is now mainly working remotely. While working away from home he became interested in cooking, and so now alongside his wife, he decides to create a recipe for a historical meal.

In addition to the couple’s enthusiastic shared tastes in music, movies, and novels, this new sensational gourmet drama is full of highlights such as the fast-paced interaction between a couple who share the same moral values, and the many historical recipes they try to recreate using all kinds of local ingredients.

This work is a dramatization of historical cookery researcher Masashi Endo’s recipe book “Reki-Meshi! The Definitive Guide to Eating Deliciously with Historical Dishes”
