Regarding Director Matsushige, who also appears in the film as an actor, Kitamura confessed his bewilderment: \u201cWhen he\u2019s acting, the assistant director calls out, \u2018Ready, action!\u2019 and the moment our scene is over, Director Matsushige yells, \u2018Cut!\u2019 I witnessed firsthand just how quickly he could switch roles. It left me feeling a bit left behind\u2026\u201d NON also empathized, saying, \u201cIt was a shock, wasn\u2019t it? Thinking he was actually acting with you\u2026 I thought, \u2018So it was all a lie.\u2019\u201d This drew laughter from the audience.<\/p>\n
At the end of the press conference, NON promoted the series, saying, \u201cDelicious food truly brings happiness, and that happiness becomes the vitality that keeps us going. This is a series where you can fully savor that deliciousness. I hope this series becomes something that adds color to everyone\u2019s lives.\u201d Director Matsushige addressed the global audience, stating, \u201cI hope this drama serves as a starting point for Japanese culture to reach out from Asia to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
