A nice sensory-based drama with a very calming presence. It's one of those Japanese dramas that feels like a vacation, eager to focus on the small things in life. Enjoying the sounds of a village, fostering community, and of course, cooking. The characters are adorable, the presentation is classy, and the setting is beautiful. Don't watch it for the narrative or big twists. Instead, enjoy a little time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
