The Makanai--Cooking for the Maiko House, the upcoming Japanese series created by Hirokazu Kore-eda, will premiere on Netflix on January 12, 2023. The nine-episode series is based on the manga (Japanese novel or graphic novel) MAIKO - SAN CHI NO MAKANAI-SAN by Aiko Koyama.
Stars: Mayu Matsuoka, Ai Hashimoto, Nana Mori
Set in the Geiko district of Kyoto, the protagonist Kiyo (Nana Mori) becomes a Makanai (person she cooks) in a house where Maiko (Geiko's apprentice) lives together. The story depicts the daily life of Kiyo and Maiko Sumire (Natsuki Deguchi), her childhood friend who came with her from Aomori to Kyoto, amidst a vibrant world of Geiko and Maiko courtesans and delicious food. The comic won the 65th Shogakukan Manga Award and is a bestseller with more than 2.7 million copies sold.
The Makanai Cooking for the Maiko House is adapted from Aiko Koyoma's original super-hit Manga Maiko-san Chi No Makanai-san Maiko-san, which has sold more than 2.7 million copies worldwide. The show is set in Kyoto and follows the lives of childhood best friends Sumire Harai, played by Natsuki Deguchi and Kiyo Nozuki, played by Nana Mori.
Sumire and Kiyo come to Kyoto to become apprentice geishas, but only Sumire can become one. Kiyo now cooks meals for the Maiko House workers. The Japanese series will show the lives of cooks as geisha and Makanai apprentices. It is clear that viewers will also enjoy images of delicious Japanese cuisine. The drama will involve their daily life and the friendship of the two role characters.
The trailer begins with Kyoto writing an emotional letter to her grandmother, describing her new life as a cook at Maiko House. She seems pleased with her work, and everyone in the Maiko House seems to enjoy her cooking. In the midst of the daily chores of the Maiko House, it will be interesting to watch the drama surrounding Makanai.
Given the popularity of Manga among the readers, there has been an increase in its adaptation for movies and series. Netflix describes The Makanai Cooking for the Maiko House as an intimate and heartfelt drama. Given the multi-award winning Manga that is the inspiration behind this series, we are excited for the show's premiere.
