Our Dining Table (僕らの食卓) will soon be streamed as a live-action adaptation. Kamen Rider actor Atsuhiro Inukai will play the main character, Yutaka Hozumi, and Hiroki Iijima will play Minoru Ueda in the series.

Atsuhiro Inukai was wacky, cute, and hilarious as Mob in A Man Who Defies BL back in 2021. This time, he plays a timid yet talented cook in Our Dining Table opposite Hiroki Iijima. Inukai and Iijima are Kamen Riders and the Grand Prix winners (title holders at the 25th and 28th editions respectively) at the “Junon Super Boy Contest.”

Synopsis

Eating around other people is a struggle for salaryman Yutaka, despite his talent for cooking. All that changes when he meets Minoru and Tane—two brothers, many years apart in age—who ask him to teach them how to make his delicious food! Yutaka soon finds himself having a change of heart as he looks forward to the meals they share together.

I also tend to cook for myself, so I thought it was similar to my cooking and eating alone. The only difference is the internal part. I wonder if it’s different from me when I hold back too much. Because I stopped being shy.

If you think about it that way, I might be the exact opposite. I tend to hold back… At first, I’m the type of person to build a wall between people. I think, “I really want to tell you this, but if I do, it will hurt me.” I think that kind of clumsiness is similar to Minoru. The only difference is that they don’t cook. I cook myself.
