Extensive research involving quickly flicking through the freely available terrestrial channels, found that 99.8% of Japanese television programmes are food related – whether creating, consuming or simply going cock-a-hoop over the stuff.
A sorry state of affairs that leaves those not exactly obsessed with food somewhat starved of entertainment, although thankfully there is the odd exception.
Cleverly combining cooking and scantily-clad young ladies, the far from comatose contestants have to try and keep track of how each tasty little dish is made, rather than greedily feasting their eyes on the far more fruitier offerings on display.
An approach that if embraced by all the channels would surely fail to go stale, the endless variations of recipes and raiment keeping customers more than happy.
Such a bold move perhaps also causing cooking fans to conjure up very different images whenever the name of famed TV chef Fanny Cradock is banded about.

FANTASTIC!
That’s what I call SEE-FOOD
what is the name of this wonderful program? what station and time?
wow – cooking tip #1: after you crack the eggs, lick your fingers because it’s delicious.
The link that led me to this story referred to scantily-clad cooks. All I could think about was near naked Mario Batali or Emeril Lagasse! eek! Giada de Laurentis–now that wouldn’t be so bad!
La cagó no entendí ná pero me cagué de la risa igual.
I’ve seen better butts in an ashtray.
I live in a more conservative country. I wonder if it was the other way around. i.e. it is an adult channel and they are trying to get their stars to do kinky stuff to keep viewership going. Such things thrive on change.
I wonder how her omelette turned out though
what omelet?
Naughty girl, you should never eat raw eggs.
what
Jamie Oliver, eat this!!
Manly men prefer it when girls prefer raw sperm over raw eggs…
That is one of the most beautiful women ive ever seen. Her name is Yoko Matsugane. J-idol.
there was cooking involved?
Show’s name is Pusuma. Smap’s Kusanagi and the ever sleazy Yusuke Santamaria do what they do best.
Michael Martine> I was thinking the same thing! I saw the girl in the second vid and thought, “OMG! Someone stole her ass!”
Brilliant – my two favorite hobbies combined into one.
Why can’t all TV cooking programs be like this!
