In Fukuoka Prefecture, southern Japan, Mr. Sonoda runs a company that installs and performs maintenance on mechanized parking structures. A few times a month, he cooks up lunch for his hard-working staff, as he knows that their job is rarely, if ever, one they get thanked for. In another segment, we go to Wakayama Prefecture, western Japan to visit a company that develops aromatic therapy oils from scratch. When they go out to gather ingredients for their oils, they always have bento lunch right out in the wild.

We visit the largest food industry trade show in Japan to not only look at the latest technologies and services in the industry, but more importantly to check out what food pros are having for lunch on such a big day. In a different segment, we visit Gifu Prefecture, in central Japan to meet Junko, who sent us a message saying that her husband no longer needs her homemade bento because the cafeteria at his new workplace serves such amazing food. We dive into the cafeteria in question to investigate.
