The 82nd episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto , was broadcast on January 28th, and viewers were drawn to the exploits of Yui's (Hashimoto) childhood friend, Natsumi ( Shima Tabata), also known as "Nacchan."
In the 82nd episode, Natsumi, who is in charge of product development at the convenience store where she works, proposes a new revitalization plan to enliven the Sakura-dori shopping street. She thinks that if she creates a signature dish for the restaurant on the shopping street and spreads it online, it will attract more people.
Masato (Kitamura Yukiya), who agreed with Natsumi's idea, visited Yui, who was raising a child, and asked her if she could come up with a specialty menu for the local Chinese restaurant "Taikyoken". Yui came up with the idea of "Aurora Gyoza", which is colorful, photogenic, and nutritious.
Everyone from the shopping district immediately gathered at Taikyokuken to try the Aurora Gyoza, and Natsumi commented in a food review-like voice, "The gyoza here are originally known for being juicy and meaty, but by blending a variety of ingredients while still maintaining that, it's a dish that can be enjoyed by both the eyes and the tongue!"
On social media, comments such as "Natchan was outstanding in an unexpected place!", "Nice assist," "Natchan's food report was perfect," and "Natsumi-chan is super cute today too!" were posted.
