- Season 4

(2014)

Mahjong makes one hungry. After a visit to a sun-glass store, Goro has a long waited lunch, which is well worth the wait.

Window shopping leads Goro into an art gallery and later a tea shop for a quick treat. Later, Goro finds himself eating outside in the alley to avoid a crowd.

Goro visits a secluded retreat on business and is talked into a playful dessert. An excursion takes him around the village and to his next meal, a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere.

After meeting a young client, Goro hurries to find his next meal. Around the corner, Goro finds the perfect finger and play food to make himself feel young again.

Arriving by boat, traveling by bicycle and finally exploring by foot, Goro visits Himakajima with an empty stomach. Seeing the local cuisine, Goro enjoys some fresh squid before having a much deserved lunch from the Ocean.

A visit to the flower shop and a stroll through the rain precedes Goro's need for food. This leads him to a busy restaurant with an intense menu with immense tastes. As the sun goes down, Goro keeps ordering more to eat with a spoon.

Strolling through the outlets, Goro makes his way to the temple for business. After a Dirty Harry moment, Goro bags a few snacks before finding a shop with a wall full of cat photos to have his lunch. Luckily, cat is not on the menu.

Goro tries his luck at a vending machine game before meeting a billiard parlor client. Later, Goro chooses Hawaiian food as the main course.

Goro has business over breakfast before day dreaming about going to a baseball game. Later, Goro finds a hole in the wall with an amazing Chef for lunch.

Last minute business brings Goro to Koto. After some manual labor, Goro is treated to some watermelon and then a much needed breakfast, with some comedy for flavor.

An uncomfortable business meeting brings Goro to an early lunch where he requires peace of mind. The Thai restaurant he chooses is perfect for Goro to relax.

After bumping into a wise man at the temple and having some fresh drip coffee, Goro searches for his meal. Surrounded by wisdom and magic, all Goro truly wants is to just enjoy his food.
