Kantaro's antics and foodie visions are totally bizarre. Go to Full Review Matt Gerardi AV Club 04/19/2018
It's about as close as you can get to actual food porn without genitals getting involved, and every 24-minute episode is as ridiculous and beautiful as it is educational. Go to Full Review Stuart Heritage Guardian 04/19/2018

04/03/2019 It's amazing, this a good way to enjoy the candy pleasures See more 05/11/2018 It’s a really original way to learn and discover (traditional) japanese desserts (?????????) i really enjoy this show and laugh a couple of time!! The actor is really good too!!!! I recommend!! See more 02/02/2018 I absolutely loved Kantaro. It's an absurd mix of excellent foodie material, extremely precise narration, japanese quirks, Tokyo roundabouts, comedy gold and some of the trippier scenes I've seen in a while. The acting is also very entertaining, the main actor is a well reputed kabuki personality (kabuki is a traditional type of theater in Japan very noisy and exaggerated) and that shows in is hilarious tête à tête with sweets. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
