【INTRODUCTION】

Today I’m going to have a drink alone. Wakako Murasaki is a 26-year-old who loves drinking and cooking more than anything. Even if she stumbles upon a store by chance, she musters up the courage to step inside. Wakako enjoys drinking alone at the bar, thinking about what happened at work and listening to the conversations of other customers. Sometimes she indulges in the food and drinks she's chosen, and sometimes she relaxes and enjoys the seasonal dishes and drinks. Her friends, co-workers, and the owner of her favorite restaurant, Oiraku, watch over Wakako's relationship with alcohol. ,people around. The moment the alcohol and food come together perfectly, her entire body is filled with a sense of elation, and a sigh escapes from her mouth. It was a moment of bliss.

[Comment from Rina Takeda, who plays Wakako Murasaki]

Even though he has grown older through the series, he always makes new discoveries. This season in particular, there were many drinks and snacks that I had tasted for the first time, and I was able to experience the excitement of the intersection of drama and reality. Even the alcoholic beverages you drink all the time can taste completely different just by changing where you drink them and what you eat with them. Feeling that ``deliciousness'' is full of infinite pleasure, we have captured the moment that pervades all five organs in ``Pushu''. This time, I was able to observe an auction at a fishing port for the first time. How is the fish that we usually eat at supermarkets and bars brought to us? I realized that keeping the precious creatures of the sea safe and healthy is not something we take for granted, but is done with a lot of love. I hope to be able to share that power and excitement with you all! 　

[Producer comment] Noriko Kobayashi (TV Tokyo)

Sorry I made you wait. This is Season 7. The environment surrounding restaurants has changed significantly over the past few years. Although the city is regaining its vitality, I think the difficult situation for restaurants continues. As we begin the production of Season 7, we spoke with Rina Takeda about what kind of thoughts she wanted to put into it. We decided to go back to our roots and value drinking at restaurants. Wakako Murasaki is still only 26 years old, but over the course of the season she has attempted things that she has become able to do. The environment surrounding Wakako will change a little, and a parent-child relationship will emerge. Connections with people, connections with restaurants, and delicious drinks and food served there. That is Wakako's world. Carefully and with all my heart. By delivering my work, I would like to give encouragement to all the hardworking shop owners.
