Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman - Netflix exclusive

December 2, 2017 2:54 PM

A Japanese man with an incredible love of sweets takes a new job to have more time to visit sweet shops.

This show is the absolute, complete and total, the highest end food porn, I have ever seen. This has all the Japanese weirdness you would expect from this kind of show jacked up to 11.

Forget the plot, just skip to his first visit to a sweet shop and enjoy.

Why post this to Fanfare Talk instead of to Fanfare itself? If you add it to Fanfare the cover art would show up on the sidebar, which might get more viewers/discussion, and it would be visible in the 'see all TV shows' page and the search menu.

Probably ignorance on my part of the proper procedure. I cannot post in Fanfare because the show must already exist the list of TV shows. Is there a way around that?

Have you watched an episode?

I haven't watched it myself, no.

For posting new shows to Fanfare, you just need to click the 'Suggest a show' link from the New Post page, type it in, verify it against the imdb link it pulls up, then wait for the mefi-mail telling you it has been added. (It can get a little tricky with shows with different titles in English/Netflix than on imdb, as with Stranger aka Forest of Secrets, but, you can contact a mod if it's being especially wonky).

Thanks for the information. I'll do that next time or if it possible to delete this post. I'll recreate it in FanFare.

Been watching this with my boyfriend because he loves it's earnest ridiculousness. It reminds me a little of Yakitate Japan!
