We visit Sado, Niigata Prefecture, to meet a renowned taiko drum performance group that plays concerts worldwide. The 67 performers and staff members live together at a training facility, immersing themselves in their practice. Their meals, prepared by three dedicated women, are infused with the unique flavors of Sado, including local wild plants. Additionally, we pay tribute to the late comedian Sakata Toshio, who enjoyed a special rice omelet at a local café he frequented.
