Today, on The Goggler Podcast, Bahir and Uma watch and review the further culinary adventures of Goro Inogashira in the big screen adaptation of The Solitary Gourmet.
The Solitary Gourmet follows Goro Inogashira, a quiet and introspective man whose love for food often leads him on unexpected journeys of self-discovery. Set against a backdrop of diverse cultures and cuisines, the film expands on the intimate, meditative tone of the beloved series while offering a richer, more cinematic experience. With its blend of humor, heart, and wanderlust, it celebrates the power of simple meals and fleeting connections without giving away any of its narrative turns. The movie was directed by Yutaka Matsushige who also stars as our titular protagonist. Joining him on his culinary journey are Yuki Uchida, Hayato Isomura, Anne Watanabe, Joe Odagiri, Sansei Shiomi, Takehiro Murata, Yoo Jae-myung, and Ken’ichi Endō.
