Will induce hunger and wild desire to own lengths and lengths of gorgeous robes

Was about to watch Hyakumanen to Nigamushi Onna (1,000,000 Yen Girl), which stars Aoi Yu, when I thought about Osen again. Osen is one of the best Japanese dramas I've watched and it's not just because of the story. There is so much gorgeous, delectable food in there. Actually I hesitate to call them food. They look so amazing it feels like no one should bear to eat them but really, don't you just want to ravish all these fine, fine dishes?

(All following images from here.)











Not just that. As the young proprietress, Aoi Yu has an amazing wardrobe. Lots of quirky details in her wearing of the traditional kimono.




What I like most are the stuff she wears to rough it out.





Makes me feel like watching the show again. But life is too short and I can't seem to afford much time to rewatch or reread things anymore.
