    The Local Host of the Pilot Episode Brings the Sizzle

    This limited series presents some of Japan's most incredible cuisine. From street food, to REAL sushi, to regional delicacies, my mouth was watering. Even though the food is amazing, it is the local host who makes the show memorable. Comedian Kilara Sen is the MC and navigator of the pilot episode. Paul Hollywood and his "foodie" reputation are supposed to be the center of attention. But it's Kilara Sen and her wicked comic wit that everyone will remember. Even The Guardian newspaper in their review wrote, "{Paul} Hollywood's most entertaining screen partnership to date. If only Kilara Sen had been lead presenter on the whole show". Amen.

    Ignorant British bloke travels japan

    A really bad representation of japan. Paul Hollywood is Uninteresting and ignorant. His poor attitude is offensive. He is a typical Brit abroad. It is embarrassing. Japan is a wonderful country this show does represent that.

    Insensitive and ignorant

    A shockingly bad, culturally insensitive program. The narrator is unnecessarily sarcastic. It's unclear whether Paul Hollywood is really this ignorant or if it's an act. Very disappointing.

    If I can give this 0 stars, I would in a heartbeat.

    I had my hopes up at first because I've seen him in GBBO, this was quickly dissipated in the first episode. I had to stop multiple times because of how shocked and angry I was at his mindless, narrow-minded, senseless comments about EVERYTHING. I hope he doesn't go visit any other countries 'east of India'! Lord knows he'll have a heart attack when he realises Asians aren't all just about rice and noodles as he so graciously commented. (like we needed another example of

    I'm just so disappointed in him, he has such a big influence in food shows in the UK. So it's no wonder so many British people say they enjoy this, but I have to people why did the show choose him to host- like was he actually first pick?😂

    If you're going to a different country you admit you have no knowledge off (episode 1), why can't you just quickly Google japanese etiquette on your way there, or even when you've arrived. Although that would've been pointless anyways, seeing as he disregarded all of the etiquette lessons a local guide taught him literally the next day.

    Overall, I will never recommend this show to someone unless it's to show how you should NOT behave in Japan. Frankly anyone who thinks this show is educational should do their research.

    Good refreshing show in what is usually a PC hipster infested area

    I enjoyed this show. I've been to Japan a couple of times and enjoyed seeing some of the places that I have visited on TV. Most of the food travel shows today are way too PC and take themselves way too seriously. Obviously not all food will taste good and Paul s the only one that I have seen that actually speaks his mind when he doesn't like something and why. This is a breath of fresh air in this hipster infested area where anything foreign (read non white culture) is automatically wonderful and splendid. I hope we get more shows like this, but woke culture will most likely vote it down with a vengeance.
