New Netflix pleasure: Samurai Gourmet.

No, it's not really a food show, but there's a lot of food.

No, it's not really a samurai story, but a samurai appears in each episode.

Oh, and it's in Japanese. Go for the subtitles. Watching Japanese shows dubbed in English is just dumb. (Same goes for anime.)

Other Japanese shows on Netflix to watch:

Midnight Diner. Low key stories set at a late-night food joint.

Atelier. Young ambitious woman joins small underwear design boutique.

Be charmed!
