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.

The episodes of Japanese Whiskey World cover a wide range of subjects related to the creation of Japan's amazing whiskey. Each episode has taught me about the various Japanese distilleries, and introduced some of the best cocktail bars in Japan. The interviews with master whiskey distillers are fascinating. It is a treat to watch master mixologists (not ot be confused with bartenders) put together jaw dropping creative concoctions. And the host, internationally renowned comedian Kilara Sen, is awesome! She keeps the show moving, making the experience hilarious and fun at the same time. This show is a real treat, not to be missed! Even if you don't drink, I'd recommend checking it out.
