    I would love to trade place with him sometimes. The foods always look so delicious.

    So it reach season 6 already? Wow, even Shinya Shukudo only in its 3rd season. Well, I guess it's easier to make Kudoku as it's more focus heavily on food unlike Shinya which has more side plot on it's customer. I just wish they can show more on how to cook those food in Kudoku as I want to try make some sometimes.

    Hi Buta, Matsushige said before in an interview that he does exercise so I guess that helps him to maintain his figure. Besides, he is usually a small eater so he only increases his intake while filming this drama.

    Well, Shinya Shokudo has a different focus compared to Kodoku no Gurume. One is more focused on featuring heartwarming dishes which touch the hearts of the customers while the latter is from the perspective of a single customer who finds delicious food in the restaurants he comes across by chance while he is outside for work or other reasons. There is probably no need to know how the restaurant cooks the food since what matters most is seeing Goro enjoy his delicacies. ^__^
