> La Grande Maison Tokyo: feisty middle-aged aspiring chef joins forces with former superstar chef to develop international-status haute cuisine French restaurant in Tokyo. All main characters Japanese, but lots of French dialogue relating to matters culinary. Apparently there’s a 2024 full-length feature-film “sequel”, La Grande Maison Paris, which I am still waiting to be able to see in some subtitled form.

Thanks to the wonders of in-flight entertainment, I have now been able to see La Grande Maison Paris with English subtitles! I can report that it’s basically more of the same as the TV series (only with considerably more French bc set in Paris), but more of the same is exactly what I was after so I’m happy. (Also, I have now learned of the existence of Japanese “straw grilling” for searing/smoking meats, so that was interesting.)
