La Grande Maison Tokyo is a Japanese television series that aired from October 2019 to December 2019 at the "Sunday Theater" slot on TBS Television.[1]
The series stars Takuya Kimura as disgraced chef Natsuki Obana, who returns to Japan to start a new three-star restaurant following an allergen contamination accident with his food served to an important guest three years ago. This is Kimura's first television drama since the start of the Reiwa era in 2019.[1] and his first on TBS since 2017's A Life My Sweetheart, which reunites him with co-star Mitsuhiro Oikawa. This is also Kimura's first drama in 12 years with Kyōka Suzuki, both previously having been cast members in The Family.[2]
Filming began on-location at the three-star restaurant L'Ambroisie in Paris, France on August 30, 2019, marking the first time the restaurant has appeared in a scripted series. [3]
