I was surprised to find myself liking this drama a great deal. Both the cast and acting was excellent (although over the top at times - Takashi bursts into tears nearly EVERY episode and I swear I saw Tetta foaming at the mouth a few times). After a few episodes, lines like "ruin this sushi and I'll take your life!" will seem perfectly natural. Funny, warm and touching sushi.

A charming and riveting tale acted out wonderfully by Takashi and the rest of the cast. The individual episode plots were very well balanced and infused with a good mix of manga-like comedy, seriousness, and a strong sense of spirit and determination. Of the doramas I've seen from Takashi, this is undisputedly his best role. With a strong supporting cast and a worthy OST to accompany the series, this dorama (despite its slightly longer-than-usual length at 17 eps) is well worth watching.

What can I say? Nippon Ichi! Even though this is quite and old show, it's still a great show. Shota is the typical 'wimp' maincharacter but still manages to overcome all obstacles. A nice blend of friendship, but not the usual love drama kept this show alive (along with the superb supporting cast), the showcase of many different kinds of fish/sushi also made it really worth watching. Since I'm not a sushi/fish lover, this show managed to get me interested. When friends are having a sushiparty I normally refuse to go, cos I'll starve to death. But from now on I'll go, and help create new kinds of sushi. Thank you shota!

I loved this dorama, mainly becasue of all the sushi that they showed in this dorama and the techniques they used to make great sushi. If you are a sushi lover this dorama is for you.

This drama was so informative and interesting (totemo omoshiroi). Prior to watching this I would just chomp down on my sushi, but after, upon receipt of my sushi orders I now analyze closely at it (Todai doesn't count!) and wonder all the training that a sushi chef goes through to create the perfect sushi. I will not only appreciate the art of sushi more, I will also make better California rolls after watching this.

Like everybody said after see this drama I want to eat sushi more. But to bad I don't like if Takashi together with Ida Kaoru, I more like Kimura Yoshino because she help Shota when Shota is give up with him self even not in farewell way. Very bad couple, Kaoru is too quiet and not meaning so much for Shota (Takashi), she just for letter friend's.

Its a good story, with a decent plot.
It can be boring at times,
I wish they could of worked in the love story between Takashi and Kaoru or Yoshino, but instead its 99% sushi.
But it does make me want to order a huge order of sushi.
My ex-girl friend make me eat sushi all the time, I never liked it, Maybe this time, I ll finally enjoy the sushi experience.

This is an inspiring story! With a happy ending and good cast, this drama is one of my favorites. After you watched this show, you'll never taste Sushi the same way.

This show is a very funny show. Takashi Kashiwabara took on a more childish role and it became very good. I think that this show has a very deep meaning and a good plot. Altho many ppl just take it as it literally is, if you got into the depth of it, youll start thinking about how hard it is to perfect everything you do. I think it is a show that everyone should watch whether or not youre a Takashi fan.

I found this show really inspiring b'cos Shota managed to get thru his difficulties in sushi-making thru lotsa hard work n sheer determination. He wasn't daunted when failures occured.I felt that I could relate it to how we should deal with the obstacles in our life. Of course, Takashi was really cute...
