Singer and actress Ami Suzuki will star in a TV Asahi drama special titled “Oishii Depachika,” it was announced on Wednesday. This is only her second lead role in a drama, with the first being NHK’s “Fukaku Mogure” in 2000.
The drama is based on the manga “Oishii Ginza” by Ikuko Sakagawa, which has been serialized in Office YOU since August 2001. The story is set in a Ginza “depachika” – a term referring to the food section of a department store, located in the basement – where Suzuki plays a seller struggling to keep her place in the store.
Kazuhiko Nishimura plays a manager at the department store, and Mansaku Fuwa plays a pig farm owner.
TV Asahi has also announced a promotional tie-in with its shopping site, which will sell two original dishes that appear in the drama after the show is broadcast. “Oishii Depachika” airs on January 4 at 11:30pm.
