TV Tokyo revealed a visual and a teaser video on Friday for Sorezore no Kodoku no Gourmet (To Each Their Own Solitary Gourmet), a new live-action series based on Masayuki Kusumi and Jiro Taniguchi’s Kodoku no Gourmet (Solitary Gourmet) manga.
The series is part of the Kodoku no Gourmet Project, which celebrates the series’ 12 years of broadcast and TV Tokyo’s 60th anniversary.
Both the Kodoku no Gourmet live-action series and original manga follow a solitary salesman named Gorō Inagashira as he travels all over Japan and samples the local cuisine found on street corners.
Masayuki Kusumi and Jiro Taniguchi first serialized the Kodoku no Gourmet manga from 1994 to 1996 in Fusosha’s Monthly Panja magazine (now defunct).
