What happens

Samurai Gourmet (Japanese: 野武士のグルメ, Hepburn: Nobushi no gurume; lit. 'Gourmet of the Wild Samurai') is a twelve-part 2017 Japanese-language television series on Netflix, based on Masayuki Kusumi's essay and the manga of the same title. The premise revolves around Takeshi Kasumi (Naoto Takenaka), told in a slice of life style. Now a retired salaryman, Kasumi discovers the joys of eating and drinking, which awakens his inner persona—a wandering samurai living freely in Japan's age of civil wars. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
