Synopsis
Based on the mouth-watering anime, Wakakozake brings you Murasaki Wakako, a 26-year-old OL that loves nothing more than delicious food and drink. Wakako’s favorite thing to do for relaxation is to go off by herself after work and go to various places to eat and drink, even if she’s never been there before. The moment Wakako is able to taste the pairing between the food she wants to eat and the perfect accompanying drink, the happy sound of “Pshuuu” leaves her lips. Now, then. Where shall we drink tonight?

DramaHeroineOctober 24, 2023DramaHeroine’s review – Wakako Zake Season 2
I don’t have anything super profound or revolutionary to say about this drama other than to reiterate what I said about season 1, so I’ll copy and paste that here, because this season really deserves at least one review on this site.
The Wakako series as a whole has everything to commend itself; a really interesting female lead, lots of delicious looking food, an overall cozy feeling, an unspoken exploration of belonging and purpose (there’s a lot going on in the subtext that I think most viewers probably don’t notice.) Each episode hosts, so to speak, 2 real-life restaurants and some of their dishes and spirits, and the show serves as a lovely way of advertising for what look like some really great mom and pop restaurants. I imagine the viewers found themselves frequently compelled to seek these establishments out after each episode.
Really, there’s just nothing outside of the slice of life element that could deter someone from watching this drama or it’s future seasons, and I would caution anyone from letting that stop them from at least giving it a chance. There’s no hyped up drama or high stakes or heartbreak, just lots and lots of charm.
