Tengu's Kitchen

Both dramas are warm, cosy and intentionally slow-paced, while also featuring food made in a traditional Japanese kitchen, and the leads explain the recipe as a part of the show

They have the same kind of rural setting, same slice of life atmosphere with a focus on greenery and cooking.
The difference is that Tengu has a bit of a paranormal twist and Alice has romance.

· Short duration
· Relaxing series perfect before going to sleep
· Food as the center of the story and relationships
· Similar soundtrack

Both cover a simple lifestyle in the countryside with many cooking scenes and beautiful scenery. It’s a slow pace slice of life kind of soothing content.

In the previous season, the couple met in an unwanted marriage, but gradually bonded as they tried to revive Kuwanoki with a single day of "heartwarming cooking," eventually becoming a real couple.

In the sequel, Ichika and Amane welcome a new member into their family. Furthermore, with the arrival of Sakae, the second son of the Yamaguchi family and Amane's older brother, Kuwanoki, which had begun to recover from financial difficulties, faces another challenge, and the bond between the couple is put to the test.

Highly recommend this movie if you like the show and vice versa. They both focus on being grounded in nature with cooking elements and spectacular chill vibes. They also both have that perfect summer feel. If this show brings you peace then you should also find it in this movie series (Summer & Autumn, Winter & Spring)
