Kidoban no Bantarou: Mukashi no Hanashi to Shoku no Tanoshimi

木戸番の番太郎 昔の噺と食の愉しみ

In a castle town of long ago, a wooden gate stands at the entrance, opened at five in the morning and closed at ten at night. The one in charge of this duty is the live-in gatekeeper, a role akin to a civil servant in today's terms. Due to his meager salary, he is allowed to take on a side job, and so Bantaro, our gatekeeper, makes ends meet by selling food.

Each day, someone new comes to Bantaro's place, drawn by his cooking and the stories he shares. In the style of rakugo, traditional Japanese storytelling, he presents seasonal delicacies and the tales that go with them. Through his interactions with the townsfolk, a gentle comedy of everyday life unfolds, filled with the warmth of shared meals and the charm of old Japan.
