Photographer Satoru Abe goes to Fukuoka Prefecture, southwest Japan, to visit a factory that manufactures rice ball machines. Convenience store rice balls are extremely popular, and 80% of the machines that make them in Japan are produced at this factory. The rice ball is a simple food, but the machines that make them are developed with a whole lot of ingenuity, love and thoughtfulness. In another segment, we visit hospital chefs who cook requested meals for the terminally ill every week. We witness the care that goes into their work and also what the chefs do for lunch.

We hear that a particular restaurant is about to close in Aomori Prefecture, northern Japan. When we visit on the eatery's last day after serving the community for 33 long years, we find many locals in line for one last taste of the restaurant's hearty servings of home-style cooking. In another segment, we go to a company in Tokyo that offers translation and interpretation services. Every day at lunchtime, the male workers from a variety of countries get together to fully enjoy their hour-long lunch break.
