The trailer shows Kiyo (played by Nana Mori) and her best friend Sumire (played by Natsuki Deguchi), who have left their hometown Aomori to come to Kyoto and fulfill their dream of becoming maiko in the Gion district. Shortly after, we can see how Kiyo gives up her dream, due to the fact that she cannot perform with Sumire’s ability despite all her efforts to practice dances and develop her skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we get to see Kiyo’s cooking and how the Oyako-don she prepared for everyone became so popular that she starts working as a cook. The trailer ends with Sumire’s question to Kiyo: Don’t you regret coming here? to which Kiyo answers: I feel like I came here to be a cook from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the original soundtrack for the drama, composed entirely by Yoko Kanno, will be released on January 11, 2023 on Kanno’s official web store, and will be available at CD stores in Japan on January 18, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
