Synopsis
Handa Sen is the "okami" (proprietress) of a long-standing restaurant in one of the lower parts of Tokyo. Though she is normally airheaded and loves to drink, she has an impressive mastery of a wide range skills, from cooking to ceramics to calligraphy. While the drama follows various events surrounding the restaurant, one of the series' highlights is its illustration of Japanese food and culture.

Started watching..this drama, has nice cinematographics.. but the story is really boring, like there's nothing that would make the "CLICK" for me.. it's just plain, and the characters have no depth nor are interesting. But it's always nice to see closeups of food...

the first episode was great! i was expecting something with a low-budget feel, but everything's cool~ uchi's a good addition too. but of course, it's all about aoi yuu! if only i can find subs to understand all those difficult words.. XD

Osen was a fantastic series that highlighted some of the increasingly obscure, but still important aspects of Japanese cooking and culture! Although it was sometimes inaccurate (the process of making miso was trimmed down in its explanation) and the characters could at times be annoying (I dislike Uchi Hiroki), I was enthralled by the parade of delicious-looking food and drink! I have a new found appreciation for Japanese cuisine and, although I won't be attempting to make much at home right now, I do hope to be able to afford to enjoy the cuisine at a restaurant such as Isshouan one day! My only real complaint about this drama is the somewhat shaky ending. I do wish they had developed a relationship between Osen and Yocchan a bit more.

having watched only 3 episode, I can't fairly rate it however from the three episodes it's a really interesting drama, you will also feel hungry watchin this. Aoi yu is very likable, and Uchi has improve a lot from a guy who can't act. He still got to improve lot but after quite a hiatus he can deliver such performance is actually quite impressive in his standard.

I love Aoi Yuu, yet the plot is so so.

Still watching but loving it already because Aoi Yuu is so cute and perky and Uchi Hiroki is a funny eye candy. I love Japanese food and this drama is a foodie's delight.

Pretty good overall, it was episodic and the good thing about it was the introduction to traditional japanese cuisines. Even then the story wasn't that catching and my main gripe was the absolute lack of romance. There were still some touching moments but then again, the pacing seemed a bit lacking. Actors seemed ok, Yuu was rather outstanding at some points especially when reverting from sweet to a strong firm danna-san.

Well it was nice to see Aoi Yuu again after enjoying her in Hula Girls. She plays a sweet&fun character. Few lol moments with her. Not much else to be said about this drama. Stopped watching after 5 episodes.
Yuu's response when Hiroki asks if she'd been drinking "he he he" LOL

Interesting show about Japanese cooking....Aoi Yu was charming and cool!!!!......Uchi Hiroki's hair was annoying....A strand of hair covering his eyes and nose for 10 episodes is strange......
