Kanna Hashimoto stars in the NHK morning drama " Omusubi " (General Asadora , Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. and others). In the 12th week of the drama "What is working?", which begins on December 16th, actor Riku Hagiwara will make a full appearance as Naoya Haraguchi.
This is Hagiwara's second appearance in a Asadora since "Yell" in the first half of 2020. He plays Naoya Haraguchi, a young chef at the company cafeteria. He follows the menu and cooking methods decided by Tachikawa (Hiroki Miyake), but he has some thoughts and has half given up.
Hagiwara said, "It's an interesting depiction of a human story that could only take place in the limited environment of a kitchen. I was happy to be able to appear in a Asadora where my friend from my teenage years plays the heroine, and it was a fun shoot."
In the 12th week, Yui (Hashimoto), who has graduated from a vocational school and obtained a nutritionist qualification, starts working in the cafeteria of the company where her boyfriend Shoya (Sano Hayato) works.
However, Tachikawa, the person in charge of the company cafeteria, refuses to let Yui participate in planning the menu as a nutritionist. Yui is useless at preparing food and taking orders, so she ends up only doing the washing up.
"Omusubi" is a "Heisei youth graffiti" in which the heroine, born in 1989, connects people's hearts and futures as a nutritionist, with the "gal spirit" of valuing one's individuality at all times.
