Food Luck

Food Luck is a 2020 Japanese drama film written and directed by Jimon Terakado of the comedy trio Dachou Club.

The plot centers on Yoshito Sato, a freelance writer who was born into a family that ran a popular yakiniku restaurant and now embarks on a food journey to find the flavors of home, with young reporter Shizuka Takenaka.

It stars Naoto and Tao Tsuchiya, with Ken Ishiguro, Satoru Matsuo, Yasufumi Terawaki, Hakuryu and Ryo in supporting roles.

Although Negishi-en was loved by the public, the number of customers decreased drastically due to an untrue article written by Furuyama, a popular gourmet critic.
