Okaerinasai!!!!!! I was pretty sure they’d come back for another season after the success of the movie but I’m still screaming, shaking, throwing up etc.
Kenji & Shiro-san are now arafifu aka in their 50s. The show will air in its usual Friday night slot starting in October. The regular cast will reprise their roles and the script will once again be handled by Adachi Naoko.
Comments from the team I translated from the official site:
Nishijima Hidetoshi (Shiro-san):
Everyone involved was sincerely hoping we could come together once more, so while getting here may not have been easy, I’m beyond happy we are now getting season 2.
I have to do even better to deliver for the viewers who have been rooting for us this far. I’ve always been passionate about having everyone enjoy and fall in love with this drama, but that passion is now even greater than before, so I’m going to give it my all.
Everything we’ve experienced in the real world, the characters have experienced as well. They’re getting older just like us. I hope to convey this with authenticity alongside Uchino-san, the regular cast and guest stars. The whole team is working with determination and earnestness just like before, so please look forward to the season.
Uchino Seiyou (Kenji)
As time passes, Kenji and Shiro-san change, as do I as a performer. I want to confront this drama afresh.
I hope this season will feel natural and unstrained. May it also make you remember your loved ones more.
Kenji and Shiro-san are starting a new chapter in their lives. I would be happy to be able to share this mellow and gentle world with everyone.

A lot has happened in the world between season 1, the new year’s special, the movie and now this upcoming season 2. I’m so glad to get to meet Kenji and Shiro-san who have aged just like us. I’m also excited about all the delicious food and the lovely soundtrack.
Getting older brings all kinds of direct and indirect trials and tribulations be it responsibilities at work, family members getting sick, or your body not being able to take it like it used to. Now in their 50s, Kenji and Shiro-san have to face various challenges that sometimes take an emotional toll on the couple. Still, food remains the center piece of their lives. I have faith the viewers will see the heartwarming meals of the characters and think maybe getting older is not all that bad. Please look forward to it.
We’ve kept you waiting!! Season 2 is finally here. I’d also been waiting for this moment I get to meet Kenji and Shiro-san again.
Life goes on for Kenji and Shiro-san. Ordinary days go by as they gather around a meal. Some things change while others stay the same, but the two of them continue their journey in their own way. We’re weaving this story with the same mindset as season 1, like we’re allowed to peek into the lives of Kenji and Shiro-san just a little from beside them. Whenever we start filming for this drama, it fills me with a sense of relief, like they’re really back. The whole Nanitabe family is working with determination, so please look forward to the airing date!
