What Did You Eat Yesterday? Season 2

Returning for a second delectable season, 'What Did You Eat Yesterday?' continues the quietly revolutionary story of Shiro Kakei, a meticulous lawyer with a passion for thrifty cooking, and his charismatic hairdresser partner, Kenji Yabuki. Now in their fifties and over eight years into their relationship, the couple faces a new chapter filled with life's subtle but significant challenges: navigating aging parents, confronting workplace changes, and planning for retirement. But as always, their love is measured not in grand gestures, but in the comforting ritual of shared meals. Kenji’s loving complaints about Shiro’s extreme budgeting and Shiro’s gruff care wrapped in perfectly portioned bento boxes form the heart of their everyday life. This season deepens their bond as they confront the practical and emotional realities of being a long-term same-sex couple in Japan, from strained family acceptance to the legal tangles of inheritance. Yet, through house hunting, grocery shopping, and bickering over dinner, they face every hurdle with warmth and resilience. With its unhurried pace, humorous dialogues, and mouth-watering recipes, this slice-of-life drama offers a rare, deeply comforting look at mature, quiet, and steadfast love—proving that happiness is often found in the simple act of asking, 'What did you eat yesterday?'
