Bentoya-san no Omotenashi (2023)

Heartwarming Mini Drama

This was a sweet, heartwarming mini drama. I really liked all of the characters and the interconnected stories throughout. The food also looked delicious! Episode 3 was my favorite - it was sad but lovely and I really liked Katarina. Of course, Yu-san and Chiharu were great, too. Chiharu was meddling but not invasive, which was a nice balance. I definitely recommend this mini drama to fans of Japanese dramas about food and how it can touch people's lives, in many different kinds of ways: heartbreak, parental love, romantic love, longing, and thanks.
