Tokyo Salad Bowl

This fun new show from NHK starts out as an episodic type show about a young, green haired, and incredibly likeable woman police officer, who helps solves crimes involving non-Japanese foreign residents, interpreters and uses food to bridge the gap.

The show will make you hungry. Midway though, it changes quite a bit to a serial drama as we learn more about the reasons why our male star left the police force to become a police interpreter.

It's quirky, does a great job of humanizing ALL people and offers a realistic, yet subtle look at LGBTQ in Japanese policing.

The lead Nao is utterly charming in the lead role.
