Food Jdramas
What I love about Japanese dramas are their ability to make a story relatable but interesting, such as those based around FOOD. So here's a list of my recommended food Jdramas for anyone new to this genre and don't know where to start.
P.s. I'm always on the hunt for more food jdramas so recommend me (old or new) ones not on the list that I should check out. Thanks!
