NHK's documentary program "Document 72 Hours" (General TV, Friday 10pm) on January 10th is titled "A Multinational Food Store Living in Japan" and focuses on a multinational food store in Kinshicho, Tokyo.
The food store is stocked with ingredients from over 20 countries, mainly in Asia, including bananas called saba, fish called tilapia, mutton, frogs, and extremely spicy spices, and is visited by people from various countries who live in Japan. One man from Bangladesh has been in Japan for 40 years, but sometimes he wants to eat food from his home country, and another is a Vietnamese woman in her 20s who started working at a Japanese hotel last year. What do they all eat and what kind of life are they living in a foreign country like Japan?
The narrator will be Nao, who stars in the NHK drama series "Tokyo Salad Bowl."
The program is a documentary program that sets up a camera at one location each time and observes the various human dramas that occur there for 72 hours. It listens to the stories of people who meet by chance and captures the "present" era.
