    This was so much fun!!!

    I stumbled on this, then could not stop watching! I loved the fact that they used real shops and real desserts, sigh! I found this very, very enjoyable. I want the second season please...

    An acid trip of emotions!

    This is a show that isn't put together well or objectively good. However, in all of it's weirdness, it still manages to have a story, a plot, good characters, and unique ideas.

    I would personally highly recommend you watch this show for it's unique artistic styles.

    Love this show!

    Matsuya Onoe is terrific as the book salesman/dessert blogger. Beautiful photography makes every dessert look fantastic. Also like the subplot of the office politics.. his manic boss is a hoot as well. And Tokyo looks great in every shot.

    Great!

    Went to Japan and fell in love with the place so was looking on netflix for something to take me back. This is exactly what I was after. Daft Japanese humour and writing mixed with real locations and restaurants in the greatest city in the world Tokyo!

    What a great show!

    I accidentaly stumbled upon this while looking for something to watch on Netflix with my girlfriend and we decided to give it a go. After we've seen the first episode we could not stop watching. Great attention to presenting the desserts has been paid, and the places and desserts are real! Also, the acting of the main character is fantastic. Strongly recommend!
