    A charming look at life after retirement in Japan.
    A joy to watch , in one word charming. In the days of bang, bosh, super hero , monster's , drug lords , British period drama overkill this by contrast is a relaxing oasis. I watched an episode every night on Netflix and when the series finished I was genuinely upset. Take pleasure in the subtle humour and delight in the food. The actor's excitement in the facial expressions when ordering the food left me hungry every time.
