Alice in Wonderful Kitchen(2024)

Alice in Wonderful Kitchen is a Japanese drama series centered on Yaemori Alice, a talented chef with autism spectrum disorder who views cooking through the lens of chemistry. Brilliant but socially withdrawn, Alice runs the popular restaurant "Alice no Okate" with support from her childhood friend and her openly gay father, a university professor. When a guarded young man named Sakae Kousei arrives seeking work, he initially struggles to understand Alice's unconventional ways but gradually becomes her steadfast ally. As Alice continues to win hearts with her precise, chemistry-driven cuisine, a hidden family secret emerges—one that challenges everything she thought she knew about her own past. Warm and character-driven, the series explores acceptance, found family, and the power of connection through food.
