Oedo Jikenjou Bimi de Sourou(2015)

Oedo Jikenjou Bimi de Sourou is a Japanese period series set during the late Edo period, when the Tenpo Reforms spark public anger over corrupt ties between merchants and officials. Kakie Shinpeita, a samurai with an extraordinary palate and deep knowledge of food, works for his family's tabloid newspaper covering local news. Though he'd rather focus on culinary pursuits, Shinpeita becomes an unlikely investigator, using his refined sense of taste and food expertise to help magistrate Toyama Kinshiro solve mysterious crimes across Edo. His unique skill—detecting poisons, adulterants, and other clues hidden in meals—proves invaluable as he hunts through the capital's food stalls and kitchens, turning his passion for cuisine into a tool for justice.
