Samurai Gourmet
I meant to mention this a while ago, but somewhere between the TV and the laptop I must have wandered into a bar ...
I have no idea why I enjoyed it as much as I did.
It is not about a samurai, it is not about a gourmet; in fact, I am hard-pressed to even tell you what it is about.
There is no nudity, no violence, no love interests, no real plot whatsoever, but it is just one of those shows that makes you feel happy - it also makes you feel like having lunch somewhere you have never been before, or trying something new, or revisiting somewhere that you have not been in decades - and having a cold beer on a hot day with your lunch
It is just 12 short episodes long, but well worth watching.
The IMDB or Wikipedia listings do not really add much more of an explanation either, it just is what it is.
