Rolling.

Okay, here we go.

Rolling!

Ready... Action!

"I humbly receive."

A restaurant on a certain street corner.

Inside the quiet diner, eating by himself...

...is this man who is known for his solitary existence.

Matsushige Yutaka

Okay cut!

Cut!

That's a cut.

That was an "okay".

Ah, he ate it.

Sorry, that's enough.

It's good!

Because it's my first meal in half a year (as "Inogashira Goro").

For Goro-san, it'll be like that.

"I'm hungry~".

Kodoku no Gurume Just Before the Broadcast Special

It's been 10 years since the series started.

"Kodoku no Gurume" Season 10 will finally start next week.

In this program, we will introduce some of the highlights.

Front-Line Report from the Filming Location

A front-line report from the filming location.

As well as freshly shot footage from the main stories.

Freshly Shot Footage

Maybe I should stop?

Because they're watching me over there.

It'll be there this season too! Furatto Qusumi

Premiere!! Season 10's Theme Song

The theme song of "Season 10" will be performed for the first time!

What Guests Say About Season 10

We'll be talking with guests for Season 10.

Ignore the script altogether.

Matsushige will talk about KODOKU NO GURUME INSIDE STORIES

Behind-the-scenes stories as well that you can only hear here.

That is the lineup we will be bringing you.

So let's get started with a word from Matsushige-san.

I think this time...

It's set up so that we can know who the culprit is.

Inogashira Goro's Return After Half a Year and Kodoku no Gurume Season 10 Highlights

This is Matsushige Yutaka-san who plays Goro. Let's welcome him.

Crank-In Summer 2022

I hope...

...really hope that we'll get through this together.

I'm really looking forward to this 10th year.

Let's work together well.

Thank you so much.

Front-Line Report from the Filming Location

Our cameras sneaked into the rehearsal scene before the shooting.

Using empty plates of the food that has yet to be seen...

Matsushige-san reads the direction notes and his inner monologues.

Goro's M: "Yes, yes. This is how nasi goreng is like. My tongue remembers." He eats nasi goreng as if chasing the taste. Goro's M: "This subtle sweetness is unlike any country's fried rice" *"M" means (Inner) "Monologue"

No matter which restaurant, the filming of "Kodoku no Gurume" always starts like this.

The miso soup is also in this bowl?

Yes. That's right.

Katagiri Hairi

"Over here is the soup menu and appetizers.

"Over there is meat, fish, noodles, and rice."

"Hmm, I can't decide"... and then, go to the right.

(Direction Note:) Here, he can see side dishes with characters such as "chicken" and "meat"...

He checks the menu and the interior of the shop while comparing it to the script.

Goro's M: "The sauce has a strong flavor, but you will never get tired of eating it. Who would have thought that such a VIP shokudo would be hiding in such a place?"

(Direction Notes:) Goro is done eating the food. He drinks the water. Goro's M: "I'm immensely satisfied." Goro: "Thank you for this food."

That's it.

After confirming the setup, they will finally start shooting.

However...

All right, cut!

Okay!

We got it.

The meal scene will not be filmed immediately

Excuse me...

Let's eat! Let's eat!

I'm sorry!

Let's set it aside.

I can't eat it yet (; - ;)

(Katagiri-san:) How long have you not eaten?

Yesterday...

Yesterday!?

He's been preparing his stomach the night before for the shoot.

Matsushige-san's preparations to become Inogashira Goro began the day before.

Okay, cut!

Cut!

Okay, we got it.

Do you want me to stop this?

Hey.

Everything is for the delicious moments

Especially when taking the first bite, there's a unique tension at the site.

Actually...

I can't say the name of the specific shop...

Q: What is your impression of the food you ate this season?

It's the one at [redacted] Station.

Their [redacted] cuisine...

They put [redacted] into the soup like this.

It was Stewed [redacted] .

It was so delicious.

Wah, I'm thinking of going to the [redacted] Station and having it one more time...

Oh, at the [redacted] Station?

Yes.

Oh well...

I ate additional order of [redacted].

It was so good.

"[Redacted]" is how you called it, right? So...

I thought it was called "[redacted]"...

I was like, so "[redacted]" is how they called it?

Well it's how it is, as you can see...

They take me to various places.

Even the one today, I've never heard of it before.

I'm like "Oh, there is such a diner in a place like this".

I am amazed everytime I eat.

So here it is... The footages that were just filmed.

Freshly Shot Footage

Actually, this is the first time I'm seeing it too.

I wonder what it is.

Hmm, the first target is...

Some kind of meat dish?

Now, Matsushige-san is...

It's good to dip a little bit of this in the rice, right?

And then, he starts to eat the rice.

I wonder what's his inner monologue for this.

Hmm!? Next is seafood.

Will he put raw egg on it?

Good...

This is the pattern of Matsushige-san going all out at once!

Ah, he had a very satisfied expression on his face.

Now for the next part...

Huh? Oh, it's omurice.

We caught a glimpse of omurice on the spoon, didn't we?

He has a nice expression.

Okay cut!

Okay!

Huh? He took another bite even though it's already a cut.

The image of the hand that appears occasionally during the show.

They were all Matsushige-san's.

Okay!

I raise this, right?

Yes.

Like this?

Okay, cut.

That's an "okay".

Looks really beautiful.

While the dining scene demands a one-shot take...

...the master's skills have been honed in this 10th year.

"Gah!"

I'm in Inogashira mode...

Matsushige-san is gradually getting into the swing of being Inogashira Goro.

After 10 years of doing the show, he is talking about his memories of the past seasons...

How's the spiciness?

It's not spicy at all!

Well, you know...

[Ema Datshi] "Don't be scared! Plunge ahead! There's happiness on the other side of spiciness"

Compared to Bhutan...

For a person who has experienced Bhutan (food)...

Not even a bit?

[Ema Datshi] "Don't be scared! Plunge ahead! There's happiness on the other side of spiciness"

The spiciness of Indonesia is already...

Season 5 Ep 8: "Ema Datshi and Phagshapa of Yoyogi-Uehara, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo"

Right now, a chili pepper paradigm shift is taking place inside of me.

From Ptolemaic... to Copernican theory.

I was paralyzed around here all throughout the shoot.

"Baah~"

It's not yakisoba.

Wait, is it like the Soupless Noodles?

Ep 5

It's not Chinese though but it's from that side of the world.

Taiwanese Soupless Noodles... It was delicious.

It's close to that.

Thoughts on Season 10 Ahead

We've already counted up to "Season 10"...

(When did I eat something?) Was it Season 7, was it 8, or 9?

My memories are already jumbled up.

So I have to sort it all out.

I've lost track of what I have done and how much I have done.

It has become a struggle against my memory.

After finishing the first half of the meal...

It comes out.

It comes out after eating...

"Kodoku no Gurume" is a documentary about real-life restaurants and their cuisine.

It has a unique scenario that no other drama has.

How to Deal with the Script

Regarding the script, actually...

It's best to ignore it.

What I mean by "ignore the script"...

I'm the type of actor who follows every word of a script to the letter.

After all, the person who writes the script...

...comes to the filming site...

Okay cut!

Okay!

With ginger and garlic, I guess...

Matsushige-san conveying his impressions on the food he ate (to be added to the script)

...are really effective in the aroma, right?

They go well together type of thing?

Scriptwriter TAGUCHI YOSHIHIRO

When you put it in your mouth?

Depending on my reactions at the site, I'd add my own words to the script.

This style is hard to imitate in other dramas.

Redacted Episode Title Info

I think it's experimental.

Actually...

A lot of the written script happened on the spot.

Putting it into print...

...and sublimating it into a monologue...

I think this style of drama production is quite unique...

...which you can't find anywhere.

The way to deal with a script is really... how do you say it?

Well I think (the script) should be used as a guideline but....

I guess it's all random... the most delicious thing you find at that time...

And how it impresses you...

Actually, on that day...

We all meet and agree toward that moment.

It becomes a documentary, I guess.

How to Deal with the Script 2 Additional Order Edition

Recently, we're trying to add to the menu...

...something that incorporates the idea of ​​"plus one item"...

...in the content...

When I talk with the shopowner...

I'd just blurt out "I want to eat that"...

It's something that would happen spontaneously.

Wait, we'll think about it for awhile.

Let's check the menu for now.

And choose what our additional order is going to be.

Put some and eat it.

What should I put on it?

This soup.

It's delicious….

I'll try it!

This looks delicious, doesn't it?

Yeah, looks good.

It's your main dish (in the scene).

Huh, is that so?

You should have told me sooner.

However...

That's a cut.

Okay!

It's good~.

Good, right?

Do they have rice here?

They do, they do.

I don't need to worry about that choice anymore...

Next was the heated discussion of the additional menu item.

Matsushige-san is struggling hard.

What are the candidates for our additional order?

How large is the serving for the main dish?

Well, uh, the volume is quite big...

KODOKU NO GURUME

..TSUIKA.. Additional Order

"Well, what shall I eat..."

Add a bit

For the side dish, the negitama is not that big, but...

Recently, it has become a tradition for Matsushige-san to add one more dish to the menu in the script.

What will it be this time?

I feel like I just saw...

Yakisoba...? Salt Yakisoba...

I wonder how big is the serving.

There are several reasons why it's difficult to decide on an additional menu item.

Points in Choosing Additional Item

The amount of food that can be eaten after the main course is served.

Avoiding menu conflicts with past seasons as much as possible.

And the menu should be unique to the restaurant...

...and such.

It seems it's going to be difficult.

Researching the dishes at the shop

He's location hunting!

The meat is thick.

It's quite thick!

Oh, that's plenty!

Thank you.

I think it's omurice.

Oh that's huge!

And what do we have right now...?

This is for one person!?

You're kidding, right?

This is for one person!?

That's a huge amount...

Amazing, right?

But look, it's the most expensive item in this restaurant.

Where? That one?

It's on the top left.

The meatballs are from this restaurant...

This is really... This is for one person, you know.

How surprising.

Oh, wow! It IS a lot.

ISHIDA HIKARI

This can feed one family. A whole family.

Good for four people.

Good for four.

As he faltered at the meatballs, a certain dish caught his eye.

What is that?

Yakisoba.

This is the Yakisoba?

Yes.

Salt-type?

It's salt.

That's quite a lot.

Huge volume, isn't it?

It's really amazing.

Eating this as an added item...

Oh hang on... it does look delicious.

Eating it alone is pretty tough.

After eating the main, this is...

And a bit of the meatballs too...

Okay.

I think I'll be having liver (in another episode), right?

Where did I eat the stewed pork cutlet?

The stewed pork cutlet is from... Atom (diner).

Atom?

It was from there?

Yes.

[Pork Cutlet Plate] "Pork cutlet floating on just the right amount of soup; When topped with egg, it's 100,000 HP!"

This is the Cutlet Plate.

Or rather it's Katsudon without its pedestal (of rice).

Season 4 Ep 10: "Ham and Eggs Set Meal, and Cutlet Plate of Edagawa, Koto Ward"

Mm yes yes.

The stewed cutlet was done by the book.

Was that like 7 or 8 years ago?

It was quite some time ago...

And with a huge menu to choose from, and past seasons to consider...

Can he choose a delicious addition to the menu that he had never tried before?

And just then, this episode's main dish was brought to him.

Okay, that's a cut!

Wow...

So robust!

He's still undecided for the choice of additional item...

But let's tackle the main dish first.

I humbly receive.

More on this....

in next week's episode!

Looks like I'll need more rice with this.

I'm going over there!

Additional Item Has Been Decided!?

After finishing the actual meal, Goro-san is on the move as if he sensed something.

This looks delicious.

Stir-Fried Eggplant with Miso??

I can totally eat that.

You can, right?

Oh here it comes!

That one, I can't eat.

I can eat [redacted], right?

Then let's go with [redacted] !!

Now, after deciding on the additional item...

...they'll write down the script on the spot and begin rehearsals.

"Chicken Katsu~!"

"Um, excuse me."

"Yes?"

"I'll have the [redacted]."

"You'll still eat!?"

"[Redacted], right?"

"One order for [redacted]."

What will be the additional gurume dish?

Please tune in next week for the first episode.

This is the right kind of diner food that could go down in the books.

More than 100 items on the menu! A popular shop with a long signboard!

This blunt arrangement of the food sets men's hearts aflame.

The sound of takuan (pickled radish) is the spirit of Yamato.

"Kodoku no Gurume" Season 10

Starts on October 7 Friday, 12:42 am!

What the Guests Saw in Season 10

I really loved this show.

ISHIDA HIKARI

Goro-san is...

I saw him eating quietly up close.

It really made me happy.

I knew I had to cherish this atmosphere.

Well, with regards to the Okami-san...

I hope I can portray, as closely as possible...

...even just a little... that wonderful Okami-san.

Okami-san (Actual)

I think it would be nice if I could do that.

"There you go."

"Two bottles please."

"Two? Thank you. I do have two."

"A set of 5!"

"5? That's 4,500 yen for a set."

"Do I have it? 1, 2, 3..."

"One bottle, please."

"For you, right?"

TABUCHI AKIHIRO (Indians)

I'm a little moved. It's a huge honor.

I've always been a big fan of the show and also of Matsushige-san.

I didn't expect to be invited...

Starting tomorrow, in front of (fellow) entertainers/comedians...

I'm afraid I'm going to look like an actor.

That's all.

"Hey Goro-san! Come back!"

I know it's only for a short time...

HOSHINO MARI What to do you like about the show?

I find the interactions of Goro-san and various people interesting.

And also the meals look delicious.

It feels like I'm hitting two birds with one stone in a short amount of time...

I'm a big fan of this show.

YAMAZAKI MASAYOSHI

My son too...

...would imitate Goro-chan's way of speaking while eating.

Like talking about or commenting on the taste of his meals.

I'm so happy!

Excuse me.

Have you decided?

What is this "rendang"...?

"Rendang" was chosen as the most delicious food in the world.

KATAGIRI HAIRI

Since we're the same age...

we talked about the old days...

...and whether things are still hard now.

I was able to talk a lot about food with Matsushige-san himself...

ENARI KAZUKI

He really has a wealth of knowledge.

I would like to perform again with Matsushige-san.

Today's performance didn't resonate much?

My performance didn't resonate much with me at all.

Image

It bothered me that it didn't resonate much.

...and I made an NG (not good/blooper).

Yes yes, I think she had something like this before we got married.

OK SCENE

When you have three kids, stylish items become a secondary concern.

Now she keeps her accessories in a kara (storage) box bought from a 100 yen store.

Oh, it's a present for your wife?

Yes.

That scene he's talking about is...

NG SCENE

Ready... Action!

Now she keeps her accessories in a kara box bought from a 100 yen store.

something like a kare box

Oh, is it a present for your wife?

Yes.

Because he was talking to Matsushige-san about kare (curry), hence the NG

I'm really sorry. I've reflected on it...

If you invite me again...

I would like to come back in even better condition.

Please call me again.

And this person, too...?

OK SCENE

And also, for our Western-style set menu...

For fresh fish, it's sea bass poiret.

For pasta, it'll be cream pasta with fresh seaweed and shrimp

Got it.

Okay, please take your time.

The pasta sounds delicious, but...

NG SCENE

It's over there.

And also, for our Western-style set menu...

For fresh fish, it's sea bass poiret

For pasta, it'll be cream pasta with fresh seaweed and shrimp

squid...

Squid?

Would you like it with shrimp?

I guess with shrimp

Of course, then...

It will be cream pasta with fresh seaweed and shrimp.

Thank you.

Take your time.

I'm so sorry~ (; - ;)

Sorry about that.

I adore it so much, this "Kodoku no Gurume"...

AIDA SHOKO

It's my favorite... I'm like...

"It's Goro-san!"

♫"Goro~"♫... I often sing that. Yes.

I also love that segment, "Furatto Qusumi"...

He always has a cold beer...

And I'm like, "He's drinking again today, isn't he?"

Isn't that great, Qusumi-san.

You were given special mention.

Narrator: UEKUSA TOMOKI (TV Tokyo Announcer)

I, Uekusa, have also been narrating this segment for 10 years.

FURATTO

Time flew so fast, I did not even notice.

Hi, I'm the original author, Qusumi Masayuki.

Today, um, it's Indonesian cuisine, right?

Looking good.

Fill it to the brim...

So goo~d!

Suddenly, nothing bothers me anymore.

Today, well...

Even though mine is a small segment in the show...

A "Making (of the show)"...

We've got a "Making of" Team in here.

The "team" is just one person though.

They're probably wondering how my segment is properly made...

Doing our best with this small number of people, right?

But there's a lot of people today.

Aren't you just making it appear we're a lot for this "making of" video?

Maybe I should stop drinking.

Because the (Making Of Team) is watching me over there.

The other day, when we were recording our theme song...

The camera was present at the recording of Season 10's theme song

The "making of" team came to see me.

But after all the filming of the drums and stuff...

They only showed us singing... which was the lame part.

Qusumi-san has a band called Screen Tones. They did all the music for the show.

In Charge of the Drama's Music

Recording of Chorus

That's just the way it is. It's not going to get better no matter what we do.

(Wry Laughter)

Next...

How will this chorus be used?

It will be revealed from the aspect of music of "Kodoku no Gurume".

Theme songs that give color to "Kodoku no Gurume"

Kodoku no Gurume (Season 1)

Starring: Matsushige Yutaka

The many theme songs that color "Kodoku no Gurume".

They might remind the fans of scenes from each season.

♪ Koya no Gurume (The Wild Gourmet)

♪ Kodoku no Tundra (Solitary Tundra)

♪ Nbaya Nbaya

♪ Aishu no Gurume (Melancholy Gourmet)

♪ Kodoku no Hoko (Solitary Roar)

Regarding the theme songs for each season...

Only Season 1's theme song had no direction. Since I had no idea back then how to go about it.

I was going to do something that didn't belong to any style.

But after Season 2, I was like...

"Okay, I'll make this one, spaghetti western music..."

Russian folk song for Season 3.

Those are things inside of me...

All the music that I've received and acquired...

But I don't over think on it by myself...

Later, I work on it together with everyone, and do it...

It's the best way to do it.

That's what makes it interesting for everyone...

That it's our original work.

Season 10 Theme Song "Namida no Hungry Road" (Tears from the Hungry Road)

The Restaurants and Kodoku no Gurume

This is Ishida Hikari-san as the Okami-san. Looking forward to working with you.

This is Katagiri Hairi-san. Pleased to work with you.

Hello.

This is Aida Shoko-san. Thank you for coming.

MAYA MIKI

This is Maya Miki-san. Let's welcome her.

Pleased to work with you.

It just so happens that it was an all women-line up but...

The shopkeepers' characters have people that serve as their models

The shopkeepers' characters are modeled after the actual shopkeepers.

The restaurant give a lecture to cast members on how to get around in the kitchen

The Okami-san, played by Maya-san, also puts on a costume that captures the style of the actual person.

As they talked about their manners and behavior in the restaurant, they started to look more and more alike...

It's a wonder indeed.

Yoshida-kun, yours is Chihan, right?

Right.

"Chihan"?

Onee-san. What about mine?

Yours, Shima-chan, would be... sautéed swordfish in butter.

Yes.

Sounds delicious.

Usual amount of rice, right?

Oh my!

The Okami-san who served as model

Because our staff made a mistake...

She was chasing and calling you "Onee-san".

Who? For real?

She thought you were me.

It's strange seeing Onee-san not working...

I'm like this... In my mind, she is always working.

She was following you.

As expected of an actor with great powers of observation and expression.

Impressive, isn't it?

"Every morning, I go to the market...

I buy everything, and bring it all in...

And serve it all in front of me.

I've alwa~ys been doing that...

...for 30 years."

"That long?"

"That's right."

"We use the same refrigerator as the one next door...

...but the fish aren't from there."

"Is that so. Thank you."

"It was delicious."

I'd like to greet the husband...

Sir, sir...

This is the Taisho.

Sir, hello. Sorry for today.

We know you're busy but thank you very much.

Excuse me...

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sir, it was delicious!

I'm thinking of having an additional order...

Let's discuss later what would be good to eat.

Thanks to the efforts and cooperation of the restaurants, "Kodoku no Gurume" has been made possible.

With the kindness and love of the restaurant staff...

...the atmosphere of the shop, the food that have reached Matsushige-san...

...we were able to capture some of the most delicious moments.

Well, dear viewers...

It's been 10 years.

I think we've already been to almost 150 restaurants.

There are still more shops that we don't know yet.

Those great shops that are hiding everywhere...

I hope we will stop by and visit them.

Don't be silly.

I'll eat now...

And with that, what can we expect in next week's "Kodoku no Gurume"?

The first episode is...

From Hashimoto, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture...

...it's Stir-fried Beef Stamina and Negitama!

Stay tuned! That crow too, stay tuned for it.

Be quiet, Crow.

Season 10 will finally start!

Inogashira Goro... as usual...

...will eat!

Eat!

And eat!

Don't miss the hungry stomach that hasn't changed in 10 years!

Kodoku no Gurume Season 10. Starts on October 7 Friday, 12:42 am!
