When Katsuhiko Oishi, a katsuobushi maker from Japan's top-producing region of Kagoshima, visited Europe for the first time, he was shocked to discover that the miso soup there was made without dashi, the essential component of Japanese cuisine. However, EU regulations restrict importing katsuobushi, the foundation of dashi. Oishi decided to spread authentic Japanese flavors through local production in France. Unfortunately, unexpected problems and challenges limited his progress. In the Kagoshima dialect, a person who thinks of tremendous ideas is called "Bokkemon." Will Oishi's French katsuobushi factory succeed? This is the story that follows the last three years of this Bokkemon's bold dream.(47min x 1ep)
