Mr. Mitsuya's Planned Feeding

When rookie fashion editor Tomoya Ishida is suddenly tasked with collecting a manuscript from renowned culinary researcher Ayumu Mitsuya, he expects a routine job—not a life-changing encounter. Overwhelmed by the summer heat, Ishida collapses at Mitsuya's doorstep, only to be revived by a simple, exquisite meal that awakens something deeper than hunger. As Ishida returns week after week to retrieve columns and share meals, he discovers a gentle, lonely man behind the celebrated chef—a man still nursing a decade-old wound from a past love. Through meticulously prepared seasonal dishes, from fragrant broths to delicate desserts, the two build a quiet intimacy that transcends their 30-year age gap. But when Mitsuya's charismatic ex-boyfriend, photographer Kaoru Noguchi, reappears with the intent to rekindle their old flame, Ishida must confront his growing feelings and decide if the bond forged over shared meals is strong enough to withstand the past. This is a tender, beautifully shot drama about second chances, the language of food, and the courage to love again.
