Susumu carefully arranges a selection of the finest foods and drinks he discovers during his business travels on the seat table of the Shinkansen. From local sake and appetizers to station bento and even sweets, the combinations are endlessly diverse.

Continuing from Season 1, the role of the protagonist, Takamiya Susumu, is played by Mashima Hidekazu, who is active in various fields such as drama, movies, and stage. Moving from the Tohoku Shinkansen in Season 1, Season 2 focuses on the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga, attracting attention to the towns along the Hokuriku and Joetsu Shinkansen lines.
