Saborîman Kantarô

This is a light and sweet dose of sugary Japanese goodness. To enter it is to open the gates of The Paradise of Sweets. Enjoy but in small perfectly measured doses. Our children like it very much. Long live the Sweets Night! Of note, while the plot does take some time to develop, it quickly engulfs you in its sugary complexities (with hints of delicate darkness). Savor appropriately. Thank you. Also, our dogs Sam, Freckles and Pippy seem to like it as well...strong cross-species appeal!

Went to Japan and fell in love with the place so was looking on netflix for something to take me back. This is exactly what I was after. Daft Japanese humour and writing mixed with real locations and restaurants in the greatest city in the world Tokyo!

Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to ride the rollercoaster of our protagonist - Kantaro. The show let us into the own private world of Kantaro while he is enjoying various and intriguing sweets across Tokyo. His interpretation of the sweets he eats is refreshing, filling like a sin he commits while enjoying the sweets. Everyone in their lives experienced that sin, so we can relate to his passion for sweets and the way it fulfilled everytime. It's like a magic show for sweets, and we all get a taste of it. Although the story is slow paced, we get a wonderful time enjoying it, giving us curiosity towards the buildup the story goes to and making us want more - like a pack of sweets that ended and gave us a bitter taste of unfulfillment and craving for more. The script is written very well, and the actors are doing great of giving us a fun time watching so casual topic that we seem to forget it is a crucial part of our lives. Thanks for a wonderful time and i wait for more seasons to come!

I stumbled on this, then could not stop watching! I loved the fact that they used real shops and real desserts, sigh! I found this very, very enjoyable. I want the second season please...

I love most of the Japanese food-centric shows (usually derived from manga) from recent years. My favorite is still Samurai Gourmet, but Kantaro shares many of the same plot points, such as they are, with that series. These aren't cooking shows, but they feature vignettes about a particular food or restaurant that all end sweetly. Kantaro has a bit more plot and bends a bit more towards food porn and comedy than the others, but it's still highly enjoyable. We all should enjoy a melon sherbet after a long, stressful day, and that is what Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman provides. It's nothing like typical American TV series, so it won't appeal to a huge audience, but if you want something silly and quiet and gentle, you may very well enjoy it. The adzuki beans doing the Running Man to fight off the evil princess was just epic.
